Description by OLDIES.com:
Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Robbie Robertson, Richard Manuel and Rick Danko, often in the company of Bob Dylan, forged a highly original sound that in one way or another encompasses all forms of American roots music. Long after their break-up, The Band's legacy lives on, both in their own recordings and in their tangible influence on popular music since they first hit the scene. With 5 CDs, a DVD, 111 tracks, 37 of which are prviously unreleased, demos, alternate takes and live performances, this is the definitive Band collection.

If you love The Band, you need this box set. Listened to from beginning to end, you can literally hear them transform from rock-a-billy to rock legends......gleaning the best of blues, gospel, bluegrass and folk, among other genres, to find that unique sound that makes The Band, The Band.
