The Band's playing was more aggressive than it had been when they had recorded with Dylan and more akin to that of their famed 1966 live shows with Dylan, something that Robertson would later acknowledge was a tendency of theirs. Helm later noted that this was the very thing they had been booed for during those shows back then. In any case, The Band had a reputation for being at its best in concert, and received plaudits for their playing on these shows.
