Elliott Landy began his photographic journey with The Band the legendary rock group that would influence some of the greatest rockers of the 1960s and '70s on bassplayer Rick's uncle's farm outside of Toronto where Landy shot the iconic "Next of Kin" photo. He went on to chronicle their brainstorming and music-making at Big Pink, in Woodstock, and on the road, taking him to Los Angeles to hang out at Sammy Davis Jr.'s pool-house while they recorded their self-titled album, backstage for their debut show in San Francisco, all the way to their moment at The Woodstock Festival.Landy's images bring us into the bandmates' lives, from the mundane chores of grocery shopping to the fun of playing football in the backyard to the sublime moments of creation in the studio and onstage. You will be transported back to their house above the Ashokan Reservoir and invited to gather on Levon's bed as they discuss lyrics for who knows, Rag Mama Rag or maybe King Harvest.... A mix of iconic and never-before-seen images, "The Band: Photographs from the Beginning "witnesses a transformative moment in American music."
