5.0 out of 5 stars It may not be Pink, but it's still Gold, January 29, 2000

This album is an excellent overview of songs by the 90's era Band. It is a great selection of songs including Bob Dylans' Forever Young and is a reminder of The Band's roots flavored music in the late 60's. If you don't have the three albums put out by The Band in the 90's (i.e. without Robbie Robertson) - buy it. I don't think you will be disappointed.

Everyone knows that the many comapilations of the original Band are great. This is Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, and Rick Danko in the 1990's and it is the best cuts of the 3 LP's they did then. Nothing second rate here with Bob Dylan's Blind Wille McTell and Spribgteen's Atlantic City the standouts. Fans of the Band will probably get a lot more enjoyment out of this than Robbie Robertson's solo projects. These cuts got almost zero radio play so you may be hearing most of them for the first time. That was radio's mistake not the Band's.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Band....well....almost, December 13, 1999

The abscence of Robbie Robertson in the Band has never been a factor. The spirit they possesed in the late 60's and early 70's leading up to "The Last Waltz" is.

This is undeliably Band music. Levon Helm is a painfully honest vocalist who sings as if he stuck himself with the pen while writing the song. Unfortunately, my favorite song on the CD is their cover of Bruce Springsteen's "Atlantic City".

Overall, the music is still somewhat reverent and merits 3 stars.
