The Band Expand The Classic ‘Stage Fright’ ‘Stage Fright’, the third album from The Band, will be reissued with bonus tracks, demo recordings and a complete concert album. The Band were the backing band for Bob Dylan. The members of the band were from Woodstock (yes actually a band from Woodstock) and neighbours of Dylan. Dylan hired them for his 1966 world tour. In 1967 they recorded the demos which became The Basement Tapes, and rehearsed their debut ‘Music From Big Pink’, released in 1968. Dylan used them on his ‘Blonde on Blonde’. Robbie Robertson’s guitar is prominent on ‘Leopard-Skin Pill-Box Hat’. Dylan also joined them for their farewell show, captured as The Last Waltz.
