This was one of those records that you could buy as a double album and also two single releases. I’ve got both formats. Of course I do. It was recordings made during their series of shows at the Academy of Music in New York City, from December 28 through to December 31, 1971. It peaked at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 chart and sold half a million but didn’t chart in the UK, in fact The Band influenced more than they sold in the UK. Stage Fright charted highest at #15 and the second and fourth also charted and that was it. Even The Last Waltz didn’t register, neither did the debut! This and 1974’s Before The Flood with Bob Dylan are great albums which really well represent where they were at at the time.
