Exploring the history of Canadian-American roots rock group, The Band.
In this mini episode, we dive into Robbie Robertson’s Insomnia — a vivid, late-life reflection from one of rock’s most self-mythologizing figures. Less a memoir and more a cinematic vignette, Insomnia captures the years between 1976 and 1980, when Robertson drifted through post-Band life alongside artists, filmmakers, and excess.
The song played during the episode is entitled "At Last" from Scorsese's Raging Bull, written by Robertson and performed with his former bandmates Richard Manuel and Garth Hudson.
