Best of The Band

The deepest independent resource on The Band: the complete history from the Ontario bar circuit through Bob Dylan's electric tours to Big Pink, The Last Waltz, and the long goodbye that ended in January 2025 with the death of Garth Hudson, the last surviving original member. Full member biographies, a track-by-track discography, and deep dives on every essential song.

Start with the flagship piece on "The Weight", or the beginning of the story in The Hawks (1957–1964).
