Tears Of Grief
Audience recording, good quality
Available in both Lossless (Flac) and mp3 (320k) versions


Here's one more show from The Band that I wanted to post, this one coming from their final tour before The Last Waltz later that year. Now, there are certainly better sounding recordings from this tour out there, most notably the excellent FM broadcast recordings from Washington DC and New York (which are widely available at other sites, like TUBE and QualityBootz, and worth having if you don't already), but this one from the Greek Theatre in LA is one you probably don't have, and is not widely available elsewhere (so, it is just the thing to post here). This is a good (but not great) quality audience recording, with another great performance featuring a full set of 18 songs, including all the greats as well as a few songs not heard on any other shows featured here ('Forbidden Fruit', 'Twilight', 'Tears of Rage'), so this is well worth getting to round out your Band collection.
