The Band are one of the all-time great rock bands. I don't know if they're quintessentially "Canadian." They're a Canadian band that explored mostly American themes. Maybe they're "quintessentially" 60s counter-revolution? Either way, what wickedly emotive, evocative and eloquent music steeped in Canadiana and Americana. How's that for compromise?
'It makes no difference.' I don't know this song just makes me...think...wonder...it just hits me.
The Weight (featuring The Staples) a journey of man.
'I shall be released' was written by Bob Dylan. Yes, that's Van Morrison and Bob Dylan on stage next to Robbie Robertson. Also there, Joni Mitchell (looking annoyed with Neil Young who seems out of it), Neil Diamond, Dr. John, Ronnie Hawkins, Ron Wood, Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr. Great song.
