Fact #180270
When:
Short story:
The Band play at Massey Hall, Toronto, Canada, supported by Jesse Winchester.
Full article:
Martin Knelman (reviewer, Toronto Globe And Mail) : Their followers, a startlingly soft and gentle young audience, had been waiting a long time: and the wait continued through the first half of the concert which was carried by Jessie Winchester, (a young performer who will be opening this week at the Riverboat).
Jack Batten (reviewer, Toronto Daily Star) : They simply presented a concert so perfect that time stood still. For the sixty five minutes they played, nothing existed outside of Massey Hall. The world consisted only of The Band’s voices their instruments, their songs, their music. And that was all and that was enough.
Peter Goddard (reviewer, Toronto Telegram) : Every so often they would bring out some of their extra instruments - in The Unfaithful Servant, it was Levon Helm’s mandolin and Hudson’s soprano sax, mixing in one song two attitudes. One moment it had a country tinkle, open and faltering; the next a sleazy urbanity.
