This 1972 live album is a watershed recording for the Band. Recorded the previous New Year’s Eve， the two-disc concert recording presents the core quintet fortified by a five-man horn section overseen by New Orleans ace Allen Toussaint， and it is capped by a guest appearance by Bob Dylan. The brass and reed players incite the group to gut it out with more unrestrained fire than these road-hardened vets were accustomed to. The lion’s share of the set selections are culled from the quintet’s first four studio albums; only an ebullient cover of the Marvin Gaye hit ?Don’t Do It，? the unremarkable original ?Get Up Jake，? Garth Hudson’s mind-boggling organ improvisation ?The Genetic Method，? and an absolutely piercing version of Chuck Willis’s ?Hang Up My Rock and Roll Shoes? spice up the reliable album selections on disc one. But Levon Helm， Rick Danko， and Richard Manuel sound like they’re having so much fun singing the likes of ?King Harvest，? ?Stage Fright，? ?Caledonia Mission，? and ?Chest Fever? that it matters not that Robbie Robertson’s writing muse had already pretty much dried up. The 2001 digitally remastered reissue includes an entire second disc of previously unreleased tracks， including four with Dylan at the mic. More than four years would pass before the Robertson version of the Band would call it a day following its star-studded Last Waltz， but， as a live entity， here is where they crested. --Steven Stolder
From Amazon.co.uk
Rock of Ages is a gift from the group long celebrated as one of rock’s best concert attractions... and on New Year’s Eve 1971 the Band were at the top of their game. Their show that night was hailed as one of the greatest-ever live sets--and a hint of that magic came through on 1972’s truncated Rock Of Ages. Now radically expanded， the new double CD only enhances the original’s reputation. Praise from Bob Dylan， George Harrison and Eric Clapton has established the Band as musicians’ musicians--and their instrumental dexterity， musical fluency and lyrical intrigue are to the fore here， notably on ?Stage Fright? and ?The Weight?. There is also the bonus of an entire disc of previously unreleased tracks--including a blistering cover of ?Loving You is Sweeter than Ever?. But the real gold is mined on the four tracks featuring special guest Bob Dylan， then in the midst of his mysterious withdrawal. Rock of Ages was always great. This restoration makes it greater still. --Patrick Humphries
