played and recorded with them at Levon’s house/studio in Woodstock a few years ago

At Big Pink, or another place? What an experience that must've been.

I saw them with Dylan twice too

On the "Before the Flood" tour? I think that was Dylan's first big tour since his motorcycle accident in '66. Quite a long break from stage. He sure came back with a vengeance.

$25 for Thanksgiving dinner at Winterland and then seeing The Band and friends? Best deal ever.

Most I ever paid was $150 per ticket for front row seats to see "The Arms Concert" in '83 at the L.A. Forum -- Clapton, Beck, Page, Cocker. Amazing show.

Before the Flood, yes. MSG and Cap Centre in Md. The last night of the Rock of Ages week, I had a ticket but gave it away. After the third encore that night they came back on stage with Dylan—how could I have done that? Geesh.

The house isn’t Big Pink but nearby. Levon and Garth never left Woodstock. Levon turned half of his place into a recording studio—after his wife left him. I know that I know the back story on Big Pink but don’t rememebr it—I’ll ask my son on Thanksgiving and get back to you. I think it’s pretty good.

I vaguely remember that Beck, Page and Clapton were playing together in concert back then. I was always sorry I never saw Clapton live. I guess there’s still a chance. But even if I do, I won’t have anything on my wife. She actually saw the Beatles live when she was a teenager.
