El concierto homenaje a Robbie Robertson
Ayer tuvo lugar Life Is A Carnival: A Musical Celebration Of Robbie Robertson, una velada de cuatro horas que rindió homenaje al legendario cantante y compositor y miembro de The Band, que falleció en agosto de 2023.
The Weight, uno de los éxitos más queridos de The Band, fue el penúltimo número del concierto de 35 canciones. Staples fue el último ícono en subir al escenario en una noche que contó con las actuaciones de Jim James, Nathaniel Rateliff, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Lucinda Williams, Bruce Hornsby, Warren Haynes, Taj Mahal, Margo Price, Robert Randolph, Allison Russell, Daniel Lanois, quien coprodujo su álbum debut en solitario en 1987, entre muchos otros. Al igual que hizo en su día con The Last Waltz, Martin Scorsese filmó el evento, del cual hará un lanzamiento especial.
