    Sad part is there are no "neighbouring" rights in the U.S., the only country that only pays musicians for the work on a specific project and that's it.
    ALL the members of the Band(songwriters excluded) would have received some extra scratch for what they contributed to that overall success.

    8:20: I love both of these groups, but in seeing this image from the ‘Next of Kin’ photo session, one can’t help but compare it to Sgt. Pepper’s cover. The differences between those images speaks volumes about how each group saw itself at that time.

      @@petersokol1603 Robbie did not give up money. He had all the writing credits of the songs and producer royalties. He wrote the lyrics mainly, but he did not arrange or organize the entire songs, but that didn't matter to him. He took sole credit for nearly every song by The Band. And he also had film royalties from Last Waltz, which was solely his idea, Levon and Rick really didn't wanna do it. When Garth had to declare Bankruptcy in the 80s, he sold his remaining shares in The Band to Robbie. SOLD THEM TO ROBBIE. A true brother would've helped him out. Especially Garth, the only one to not get into drugs and alcohol. But no, he bought the shares. So yeah, Robbie is suuuuuuuuuccccccchhhh a great brother. No

Inquiring jukebox music is always under title "Rock & Roll"!!!...

    Clapton saying "This is it, this is where music is supposed to have gone" is such a weird statement. "Supposed to" according to who or what? So many groups at the time were already pushing the envelope past old traditional roots music rehashes and doing something new and original. When prog rock came along a couple of years later it must have sent Eric into a tailspin.

      No way. Don't buy Levon's line about the songs. Helping to arrange is not authorship. ROBBIE wrote the songs and he also guided a band of 3 junkies and Garth for years--before he gave it up. Can't blame him! As for $$, the three junkies put a ton of it up their noses and into their veins. They were beyond reckless.
