Thanks for all the amazing music Mr Hudson.
I’m at a loss for anything more at this time.

An incredible talent and the most unlikely of Rockstars.
Happy trails Garth

This brings the final closure to that band. Shame. But all the iconic bands from that era are looking into the same abyss.

One of the most amazing things about music and something A.I. will never get be able to reproduce is the magic when you take five different musicians and the alchemy produces something magical, the Band was the epitome of that. Also one of this Bands where every player was gifted, and Garth was the one they all looked up to, amazing talent. I have Chest Fever!
Fly on Garth....................................

What a colossal talent. He is with the great ones now and shall ever be.

[Killing Floor]

Yep. Legend

 

[Joshua]

One of my fave musicians from one of my fave bands. I loved that they called him "Honey Boy" because he sweetened the tracks up.

RIP, Mr. Hudson.

I just happened to be listening to Before the Flood. What a bummer. RIP.

Tha Last Waltz changed the way I perceived and created music. It was truly an eye opener.

Fly high sir and thank you for your musical brilliance.

 

[Bunk McNulty]

Magic.

 

[jerry]

Magic.

One of my favorite albums of theirs to hear the greatness and greasy-ness of Danko's playing.

 

[Ostie]

The end of an era.

 

[Stewie]

Damn

 

[markjazzbassist]

A legend. I love that as the most learned musician he had to justify to his parents him being in the Band by giving lessons to the other guys.

All now in the Big Pink house in the sky!
RIP

A highly influential sound of a very influential time. RIP, all Band members.

What a beauty of a man.
National Treasure.

At least a handful of times per week, Chest Fever rattles through my mind, totally unsolicited.

That music is a part of me, and so many others.

I remember seeing the last Waltz when I was fifteen or so. The music stuck with me but frankly I didn't really get it at the time. Good thing I kept relistening to them
