I like the video of The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.

You just didn’t see too many tubas in the bands back then.

“I like the video of The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.”

That was my introduction to The Band. I loved it. Sorry I missed them.

From the Wikipedia entry on The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down:

The last time the song was performed by Helm was in The Last Waltz. Helm refused to play the song afterwards. Although it has long been believed that the reason for Helm's refusal to play the song was a dispute with Robertson over songwriting credits, according to Garth Hudson the refusal was due to Helm's dislike for Joan Baez's version.
