on February 6, 1974 at the Denver Coliseum. Best concert I ever attended. There were 12 of us in our group -- all childhood and college friends -- February 6th thereafter became known as "Bob Dylan Day" among us and to this day it is still celebrated as a holiday.

My friend and I went to see The Last Waltz when it came out..just 20 something years old and we still remember the impact of it all these years later as we every once in a while say our generation had the best music ever made! I still have the album..one of my treasures from long ago 🥰

You can make a pretty solid argument that 3 of The Band's albums: Rock of Ages; The Last Waltz; and, Before the Flood rank right up there with the greatest live albums of all time.

And every song a brings wonderful memories. I wonder if I can find it streaming. I'd love to watch it again. We're supposed to have a few rainy days in a row so I won't be in the garden, perfect time to find it and watch.

Thanks for posting Forever Young ( and especially this version ) is a beautiful song.
