Levon Helm Tributes- Here at Maimed & Tamed we have such massive respect and admiration for The Band and Levon especially, so to be able to witness so many bands pay tribute at Bonnaroo this year was inspiring. We caught Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds doing a funky rendition of “Up On Cripple Creek”, Trampled By Turtles putting together their own version of “The Weight” and bluegrass ramblers Rollin’ In The Hay dedicating their rendition of Springsteen’s “Atlantic City” to Levon who sang on The Band’s famous cover version of the tune. I’m sure there were many more tributes to the late great that we missed throughout the weekend and I’m even more certain that Levon’s legacy will live on for years and bands will continue to pay tribute to him and the impact that he made on the world of music. God bless your beautiful soul Levon, rest in peace.

Not only did the trio hype fans for a weekend of musical fun with "Opie Song," with its steadily-paced mandolin prompting the audience to stomp along, the early set prepared the crowd for days of immeasurable amounts of walking and uncontrolled dancing.
