Love it. The Band were awesome.

Shame what happened between Levon and the guys.

I don't think it was Levon vs. "the guys." Do you?

Well the documentary I saw was from Levon's perspective, so that's sort of how it came off.

edit: if you are referring to Aint in it for my Health, it's a great documentary and i recommend it to anyone reading this.

It was Robbie vs. the guys. Levon was one of the guys not fighting against them. The Band actually reunited without Robbie and played in the 80's/90's.

Best performance from the last waltz is Danko's Stage Fright -Wow.

Yup, it was Ain't in it for my Health. It's been about a year and a half since I saw it, but from what I can remember, it was great. I also recommend.

Oh, and thanks for the clarification. It still sucks about Robbie, but I gotta say I'm kinda glad it was Levon & the guys still together.

Yeah it was all on Robbie pretty much which is terrible because he's one of the greatest guitar players in history. Just sucks.
