The Band: Live at the Academy of Music 1971

[cover art]

Five-disc deluxe box set celebrating The Band's 1972 live album Rock of Ages, issued in September 2013.

Rock Of Ages was originally a 2-LP set compiled from recordings made during The Band's series of shows in late December 1971, at the Academy of Music in New York City, where they were augmented by a five-man horn section, with arrangements by New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint.

Discs one and two are the Rock Of Ages concert across two CDs, newly mixed by Bob Clearmountain. A further two CDs are (mostly previously unissued) soundboard recordings of the fourth and final night of the Eve 1971. The fifth and final disc is a DVD with tracks from discs 1 and 2 in 5.1 surround, plus Alk and Lerners filmed performances of "King Harvest (Has Surely Come)" and "The W.S. Walcott Medicine Show."

There is also a 2-CD version of Live at the Academy Of Music 1971, containing discs 1 and 2 from the box set.
