I never saw The Band live but I did see Robbie play in the precursor to that group - The Hawks - when they supported Dylan on his first electric tour. Royal Albert Hall May 27 1966
It's always the way with a thread title like that, you almost immediately go .
''Oh no has he/she died"
Didn't imagine he was 80 though.
I'm more aware of him from his eponymous album in '87 produced by Daniel Lanois, about the same time the producer was working with U2.

I'll dust the slbum out and give it a play in his honour RIP
