Levon Helm and the RCO
All-Stars Live
After a fire
destroyed the studio and home of Levon Helm in the early
nineties, the tape vault in the basement managed to
protect the fragile contents within. Levon Helm Studios
has begun to unearth some of these treasures, and this
live RCO All-Stars performance on New Years Eve 1977 at
the Palladium in New York City is the first in a series
from the vault. This disc features mixed and
mastered cuts from the original tape sanctified by the
fire. Dr. John exclaims, its gonna be great in
78, and this is a night to remember. Look for
future live releases from Levon Helm Studios.
