The version of It Makes No Difference The Band played at The Last Waltz has become a classic. Rick sang his heart out and Garth appeared beside him at the end of the song to play his sax solo. It’s one of those glorious moments of the concert, one that we wish could last forever.

“I don’t know—it’s a bit of a mystery of how things come about when they do. I don’t have a scientific explanation for it. Sometimes when you’re writing a song, you don’t know where you’re going.” Robbie Robertson, born on this day in 1943. 📸 Hanekroot/Redferns
