    • 'The Night They Drove Ol Dixie Down' If there's a greater song about the Civil War written by a Canadian, we haven't heard it. Robertson had the tune for this song in his head, but wasn't sure what it was going to be about.

    • 'Ophelia' The best song from the Band's 1975 album, Northern Lights - Southern Cross, was inspired by Hamlet's ill-fated lover, Ophelia. Helm's vocals on this are so perfect, so essential, that the song will always be associated with him.
