Customer Rating: Summary: Yea, Levon Comment: This answers so many questions I had about The Band. Lags in some places with too many "Monday we did this and then drove to...on Tues" A good glimpse of very complicated and utterly talented people. Customer Rating: Summary: Some things should be kept private Comment: This book is informative to a point, but Levon Helm should have kept his personal complaints about Robbie Robertson to himself. Publishing bitter remarks about a former close friend and bandmate just isn't cool. If there's a problem, let their lawyers work it out, don't involve the public. Customer Rating: Summary: This book changed my life. Comment: Today is the day I turn 33 years old, and out of all those years, and all of the books I've read, this one takes the proverbial cake. Birthday cake, if you will. Levon Helm is one of my heroes, and with a little help from his friends, he's managed to write a book that truly takes the reader through time and space to where modern rock was conceived, born, and learned to run like an antelope out of control. I highly recommend that you purchase this book, read it over and over again, and give it to your best friend to read, too. Customer Rating: Summary: This Wheel really is on fire Comment: I love the way Levon writes, you can hear his southern Arky drawl in the words. i love how he remembers the names of childhood friends and old band members like he was writing it down then. he also includes other peoples perspectives like Danko's and some other people involved with the group back then, but sadly, there is no quotes directly from Robertson as he and Helm are still estranged. Oh well, will Genesis ever get back together either? Customer Rating: Summary: Great book! Comment: This is a great book. Levon Helm has a great story to tell. I had first started listening to The Band back in the late '60s, but had never followed the ins and outs of all of these people's lives. I enjoyed reading the book and wished it was longer.
