Rest in peace, Garth Hudson🌹
As one of the original founders of The Band, Garth Hudson, alongside Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Robbie Robertson, and Levon Helm, inspired several musicians, including the Grateful Dead. The two bands shared the stage on multiple occasions, notably during the legendary Festival Express train tour across Canada, alongside Janis Joplin, Buddy Guy, and others. They also performed at the iconic Summer Jam at Watkins Glen and were billed together for shows later on, including the Dead’s performance at Soldier Field on July 9, 1995.
