iamsuperdan Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Unfortunately, it appears as though Robbie has indeed passed at the age of 80. Should go watch this. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6333080/?ref_=fn_al_tt_12 He's in it quite a bit. Awesome documentary. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OldTrucker Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Had the pleasure of meeting him back in 1981 he was visiting a friend who was my neighbor at the time. Seemed like a great guy. One of my favorite bands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C. Posted August 10, 2023 Author Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) Shame. Another one of my favs from the Band. These guy not only sounded unique, the even looked they were from a different era. Edited August 10, 2023 by Mike C. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuckyg1 Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 One of my favorite all time bands. From backing Ronnie Hawkins, then known as The Hawks, to backing Bob Dylan and then coming into their own, they were superb musicians. Robbie was also a great song writer. The Weight, and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, to name but two. I was lucky to have seen them during there Last Waltz tour. Garth Hudson is still alive, he turned 86 at the start of the month.
