From Guitar Player 1976:Robbie, on your red Strat there's a small grey object right in front of the bridge pickup.Robertson: That's the one modification that I have on my guitars. I can pull the rear knob up so the guitar is in a straight Strat pickup line; if I push it down it kicks in that rear humbucking pickup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Agitator Posted January 3, 2013 Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 Comment from the Youtube video that Phil posted: "This is my first time listening to this album. I just finished. I've never been so profoundly moved by an album before and I just got done crying. This...this is music right here. Thanks for the upload.?" That about sums up my feelings. The self-titled album is a great, good-time rock & roll album, but I find "Big Pink" to be profoundly moving (same with the first Little Feat album, for that matter).

Members ArrMatey Posted January 3, 2013 Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 As much as I love "the weight" as a song, I prefer the self titled. Overall, the quality of the songs is on another level! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BG76 Posted January 3, 2013 Members Share Posted January 3, 2013 Originally Posted by soapbladder I like their work backing Dylan, like John Wesley Harding, most of all. Planet Waves is probably my favorite studio album they did with Dylan. Thinking about it that may be the only 'studio' album they did together, unless you count Blonde on Blonde as a "Band" record or The Basement Tapes as a "studio" record. I suppose maybe Self Portrait?I have Like a Rolling Stone on 45 and it's b/w Please Crawl Out Your Window which never made it onto an album but is a really cool track. There is a version floating around with Bloomfield/Kooper and the Bringing it All Back Home/Highway 61 players but the single version with The Band was really raw and a great track.I do have the tapes from John Wesley Harding that Garth and Robbie played on but I don't believe any member of The Band was actually on the released record. IIRC it's some of the people from Blonde on Blonde (Charlie McCoy, etc...). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members The Lou-Dog Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 Self Titled is definitely my favourite of the two. I love every single track on that album, I've listened to it a million times. The production and the sounds are fantastic, and the multi instrumentalism on that album is phenomenal, especially Garth Hudsons Piano, Accordion, Organ, and Horn playing..........

Members T ned Posted January 4, 2013 Members Share Posted January 4, 2013 Get both. While you're at it, don't neglect Stage Fright or Cahoots. Cahoots is probably my favorite out of all, and full of worthy songs that don't get much play but I have a hard time finding a song I don't like off of any of their first four studio albums.
