Here is an inside look behind the scenes of The Band and how they recovered from the suicide of vocalist and pianist Richard Manuel in 1986. Joe Forno Jr. writes about the history of Woodstock, where he was born and raised, and how the town embraced musicians as it had artists in the early years of its art colony. Like his father, Joe became close to the members of The Band and managed the group from 1986 through 1994. The reader learns of the tragedies and triumphs of that time, from the deaths of Manuel and Stan Szelest, who replaced him, to the release of Jericho, the first new music by The Band since The Last Waltz. It includes the story of the fire that destroyed Levon Helm's barn studio and home, and the subsequent rebuilding. The book traces The Band's performances at the "30th Anniversary Bob Dylan Concert" and at the "Blue Jeans Bash," at the Clinton presidential inauguration in 1993. Levon's Man also tells the story of the 1994 induction of The Band into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and their performance at "Woodstock '94," the 25th anniversary of the "Woodstock Festival." This is an unforgettable saga of friendship, loyalty, and celebration of American music and culture at a crossroads.

Feeing as if they'd "found their tribe," some 450,000 hippies and ordinary youth sat shoulder to shoulder through thundershowers, downpours, late nights, a lack of food or water, and mud as thick as bricks-to watch Jimi Hendrix, The Who, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, Joe Cocker, Janis Joplin, Santana, Jefferson Airplane, and many others.Even when they ran out of food and water, peace reigned, minds were opened, drugs were abundant, fantastic music filled the air, and love abounded. Even today, fifty years after the main event, Woodstock 1969 remains legendary throughout the world.This is the only book that captures true accounts from the kids, forty-seven who made it, and a few who didn't.
