One of the coolest things Garth ever did was hit 'Record' (repeatedly) on The Basement Tapes.

ironically he was also the oldest member having been born in 1937, Helm was born in 1940 and the rest in 1943. he must have felt like an older brother to the group back then.

as to Cripple Creek, I guess Trump will ban it since he sings "Gulf of Mexico" on it

RIP Mr Hudson. I saw a short vid 2 years back and he was still at the keys in the rest home he was living at.

They were a helluva band.

RIP Garth. My favorite band of all time and he was an integral part. A great musician. A huge influence on so many bands but no could capture their sound. It was unique.
