Rick: "Robbie was always one of my favorite singers. But he was always shy of the microphone. Might have been an element of stage fright there. He would sing the parts for us, and we would reproduce them." RIP Robbie Robertson 💔

#DankoDylan #OnThisDay in 1966, Bob Dylan played at The Free Trade Hall in Manchester. Someone in the audience yelled: "Judas!" Bob snapped: "I don’t believe you! You’re a liar.” Then he turned to The Hawks and said, “Play fucking loud!” Iconic. So satisfying to watch (and hear)
