The Band

Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings, the catalog division of Sony Music Entertainment, will release The 1974 Live Recordings on Friday, Sept. 20, celebrating the 50th anniversary of Bob Dylan’s return to touring that year.

Fifty years ago, The Band played a few epic shows that remain etched in the group’s historical lore. Five decades on, it’s time for a true 1973 retrospective.

This year marked 30 years since Richard Manuel committed suicide in a Winter Park, Fla., motel room. It’s time for a formal anthology chronicling his career.
