Call it rock, Americana, folk, country, pop or old weird America. It doesn't matter. The Band stands alone in its contributions to modern music, its lineup featuring one of the most formidable rosters of musicians ever assembled. Mobile Fidelity continues its commitment to the group's timeless catalog with hybrid SACD releases of 1972's phenomenal live album Rock Of Ages and 1975's tremendous studio swan song, Northern Lights-Southern Cross. Each are remastered from the original master tapes and blow away any previous version.

The Last Waltz gets bigger billing, but the Band's 1972 live album Rock of Ages is equally fine. Recorded over the course of four nights at New York's Academy of Music at the end of December 1971, the incendiary concert set bookmarks the close of the first phase of the collective's career.
