RIP Garth Hudson A brilliant multi-instrumentalist who was looked up to by the rest of The Band, which is saying something. Here’s my favourite song and performance with Mavis & Pop Staples. Hudson is on piano. youtu.be/Z2eTW8qZBtk?... - ThreadSky

I have to put Chest Fever now. It fits perfectly with my chest cold and Garth tears it up. Then I’ll play The Call’s The Walls Came Down for his organ solo. Amazing.

Such a talented bunch. Rick Danko was my fav.

The Shape I’m In with Richard Manuel on vocals and a superb organ solo by Hudson: https://youtu.be/00VkP7v-VaM?si=3mCV9vLB4fFKchiK

I knew of The Band, but didn’t know The Band.

Looks like I’ve got a lot of good sounds to discover.

rufustsuperfly.bsky.social•32 days ago

You have indeed!

It’s heart breaking, a gentle giant of a legend.

Never thought about it before but four of the band members, including Hudson, were Canadian, which I'm sure will stun many Yanks.

Robertson has a fascinating heritage.

y2skot.bsky.social•32 days ago

Was just glancing at his Wikipedia entry. Didn't realise how much Robertson had worked with Scorsese on many of his films.

rufustsuperfly.bsky.social•32 days ago

Oh indeed. His Flower Moon score was superb.

y2skot.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yep! And all those other Scorsese classics. Now I must rewatch all of them for the scores.

rufustsuperfly.bsky.social•32 days ago

Yes, I like to do that too.

y2skot.bsky.social•32 days ago

In more ways than one. Indigenous and guitarist for Dylan. I'm primed now to rewatch Scorsese's THE LAST WALTZ tonight!

rufustsuperfly.bsky.social•32 days ago

Been watching loads of it tonight. Just posted my favourite performance, Caravan. Wow.

I am was just listening to Live at the Academy and was talking to my godson about Garth.
The depth he adds to the proceedings. We were lucky to have him.
