Today is Robbie's birthday - he would be 83 had he not passed away 3 years ago. I just wanted to share a quick history of his relationship with George / the Beatles. There are a couple of times they met and collaborated.

As a member of The Band, George met Robbie a number of times in the 60s and 70s. The first time was when the Band were backing Bob Dylan on his first electric tour - the Beatles saw them at a few concerts in the UK, and met Dylan and the Band (including Robbie) backstage.

George would later meet them again near the end of 1968, when he spent some time in Woodstock - the New York town which had become Dylan/The Band's home base. George left Woodstock with two new songs and a great feeling of inspiration - he later stated that "All Things Must Pass" was an attempt to write a Robbie Robertson-type tune.

When Dylan and the Band played the Isle of Wight in 1969, George met with them again, but after that I don't think he saw them until 1973 when the Band (minus Richard Manuel) played on a song he had written for Ringo, "Sunshine Life For Me". Ringo actually had a pretty long history of working with members of the Band. Robbie played on his 1974 track "Snookeroo"; Ringo played at the Last Waltz; Levon, Rick, and Garth were in the first iteration of the All-Starr Band.

In the late 80s, George and Robbie recently made comebacks with new solo albums. They appeared in this photoshoot together (not sure of the context) and apparently it was rumoured that they would tour together - obviously this never happened.

I know it's only tangentially related to George, but I thought I'd share since I imagine there's some overlap in the George/Band fanbases. Happy birthday Robbie!
