Plumplechook Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 I know he fell out with other members of The Band following the breakup in the mid-70s - but undoubtedly one of the greatest songwriters of the rock era. So many timeless classics including The Weight, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down etc. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes he was a terrific guitar player. Tore it up on stage during Dylan's early electric tours. Who would have thought Garth Hudson would end up the only survivor of the original Band? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
worldrecordplayer Posted August 9 Share Posted August 9 Died on the same day as Garcia. Seeing Ryan Adams tonight. I was counting on a Wharf Rat, now we should get some Band tunes as well. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Sharing his own gifts. Rest in peace. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
