TCP Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Maybe I'm cynical but this reeks of soulless cash grab. Feels like typical Robbie. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jw harding Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 I'm sure it would be a fun show whatever are we piling on Robbie Robertson I'm in. In the recent documentary on Trey Anastasio from Phish he brutally mocks Robbie for the line in the Last Waltz about quitting touring after 17 years. "17 years, are you kidding me? I'm gonna do this forever." What a fucking doosh. Put on a scarf, brush your hair, pretend to sing, then wait until your drummer dies before releasing your memoir in which you insinuate that he's an anti-semite. Do some more blow with Scorcese.

worldrecordplayer Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Maybe I'm cynical but this reeks of soulless cash grab. Feels like typical Robbie.They've been doing this for several years in some form or another. During JazzFest in NOLA and I think at the Cap Theater, I don't think they've taken it on the road before but I could be mistaken. Anyhow, I'm in for Boston. Some may call it a cash grab, but I'm looking forward to seeing Warren (I'll see him do anything) with Modeski, Don Was, Cyril Neville, Terrance Higgins, et al play the Last Waltz. The music is timeless and I'm pretty certain I'll have a great night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Analogman Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 There is a also a new documentary coming out - Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bcdoc Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 I got a ticket for the Chicago show. My thinking was similar to Worldrecordplayer: the lineup + songs are too good to pass up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
