The Band: The Last Moving Shadows

[CD cover] [Back cover] [CD]

This is one of the best boots of a Band concert I've ever heard. Richard Manuel's version of "You Don't Know Me" is as good as, or better than the Ray Charles original. Beautiful beyond description.
-- John Lettiere

The Last Moving Shadows is 2-disc CD-R Band bootleg from Massive Attack Discs, probably named after Ron Horning's 1988 article "The Moving Shadow of Richard Manuel" from Village Voice, about The Band's former lead singer. Disc 1 contains live recordings from various venues 1984-1986, disc 2 is from a good quality soundboard tape recorded at The Band's concert at New York's Lone Star Cafe, February 8, 1986, less than a month before Richard died. Also released on the Old Brown Boot label.
