BOB DYLAN About The Death Of ROBBIE ROBERTSON

14 August 2023

After hearing the sad news Dylan posted this short message on his socials.

In the 60s/70s Robbie Robberson and THE BAND toured a lot as Bob Dylan‘s live band,
which led to a close friendship. And of course, Dylan played on the final, legendary show
of The Band in 1976, which was billed as The Last Waltz, also the title of the movie directed by Martin Scorsese. It came out in 1978.
