Customer Reviews of Stage Fright
****½ A little less idiosyncratic than The Band's first two albums, the melodic and literary "Stage Fright" may seem more immediately accessible than "Music From Big Pink" and "The Band". It's not a better record than those two ("The Band" remains the Canadian-American roots rockers best effort), but it contains some of The Band's catchiest and most enjoyable songs.
Garth Hudson's characteristic organ is somewhat less dominant than on previous recordings, but otherwise the arrangements are the same as always, a deep foundation laid down by bassist Rick Danko and sublime rock drummer Levon Helm, and Robbie Robertson's guitar on top. Richard Manuel's excellent piano playing is also very prominent, partciularly on the beautiful ballad "Sleeping", and the swinging boogie of "Time To Kill", and Manuel's expressive vocals are as good as ever.
Other highlights include the guitar-heavy "Just Another Whistle Stop", which contains one of the few extended guitar solos Robertson ever recorded with The Band, and the dark tales "Stage Fright" and "The Shape I'm In".
On this album, as on "The Band", Robbie Robertson was in full control of the songwriting, writing or co-writing every tune, and his guitar playing is generally more prominent than it had been before. Also, Garth Hudson recorded his first sax solo, and you should really notice Levon Helm's wonderful drumming on songs like "The Rumor", "Just Another Whistle Stop", and "Stage Fright".
Although "Stage Fright" may not be quite as amazing as its ïmmediate predecessor, it is a wonderful album in its own right, and one of The Band's two or three best records.
Just simply fatastic.
The band never ceases to amaze. With Danko and Manuel's high,ovepronciating vocals, Robertson's folkish yet funkish guitar playing and Hudsons unique organ playing, this album stands out among others in its time. When you hear songs like The Rumor, Stage Fright, Daniel and the Sacred Harp, Time to Kill, and so many more, how can you dislike it? The band's brilliant, un-imitatable sound evolves after every album. To compare this album to the brown album or the big pink would be a mistake -- its not that this album isn't as good, they just modifed their sound. GREAT ALBUM!
3rd Masterpiece
The Band's third album is just as good as the first 2. It does have a different feel than the first two.
I believe Richard Manuel sings "The Shape I'm In" - or at least it claims that on The Band's website, as well as he sings it in The Last Waltz. I could see how people can mistaken the two voices since they sound so similar.
And to another reviewer - Up On Cripple Creek is on THE BAND's self titled second album...not Stagefright (it never did).
