The Canadian-American roots rock group that rose to prominence in the late 1960s. Comprised of vocalists and multi-instrumentalists Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, and Robbie Robertson, The Band's soulful and authentic sound captivated listeners worldwide. They were cherished for their seamless blend of rock, folk, country, and blues, showcased in hits such as "The Weight" and "Up on Cripple Creek." Their contributions to popular music also included collaborations with Bob Dylan. The Band's enduring influence is characterized by their timeless harmonies, storytelling prowess, and lasting impact on the Americana genre.

During the final week of 1971, The Band played four legendary concerts at New York City's Academy Of Music, ushering in the New Year with electrifying performances, including new horn arrangements by Allen Toussaint and a surprise guest appearance by Bob Dylan for a New Year's Eve encore. Select highlights from the concerts were compiled for The Band's classic 1972 double LP, Rock Of Ages, which peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 and remains a core album in the trailblazing group's storied Capitol Records catalog. For the first time, all four of the concerts' multi-track recordings have been revisited for Live At The Academy Of Music 1971, a new 4CD+DVD collection. The expansive new collection features new stereo and 5.1 Surround mixes, including 19 previously unreleased performances and newly discovered footage of two songs filmed by Howard Alk and Murray Lerner. Live At The Academy Of Music 1971 takes a deep dive into The Band's historic shows for a definitive document of the pioneering group's stage prowess at the apex of their career. On the same date, the collection's first two discs will also be released as a 2CD set.
