Speedy says "I saw The Band live just twice, both times in 1985. The first concert, in August at Pier 84 in New York, they were the lead in for CSN. The 2nd show, in October, they headlined at one of their favorite venues, the Lone Star Cafe.
This FM broadcast captures The Band in Toronto on June 21, 1984, 42 years ago today and about a year before I saw them live. They were leading in for the Grateful Dead at a benefit concert for SEVA. The SEVA foundation, an international health organization, works with local communities around the world to develop self-sustaining programs that preserve and restore sight. Since 1979, rock musicians have partnered with SEVA to raise funds for their work. In addition to the Grateful Dead & The Band, Bruce Hornsby, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, Graham Nash, Country Joe McDonald, Maria Muldaur and Paul Simon, just to name a few, have participated in dozens of shows to support SEVA. (go here for more on SEVA benefit concerts). Just another example of rock and roll working for social change."
