As for today's little question, I might have another good one for you... When The Band disbanded in 1977, only one of the band members never joined back in when they reunited. When that band member released his first solo album, that album spawned four singles. One of those songs was about hanging out in Arkansas with a fellow band member, the lyrics are mainly spoken, but the chorus is sung. It charted as high as #15 in the UK and 24 in the US, and while that isn't the highest charting single, it is my favorite song on the album, so that is the one I am looking for. And, finally, who was the band member he is singing about?

December 12 - I Shall Be Released
The answers were The Band with I Shall Be Released from the 1968 album Music From Big Pink - and the concert in question was The Last Waltz, which also was released as a movie directed by Martin Scorsese. The band did have considerable success on their own, with songs like The Weight, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, and Up On Cripple Creek to their name, all worthy of a thorough listen.
