"The Band never really played big concert tours. We never sold millions and millions of albums"
- Levon Helm
About this Quote
Levon Helm's quote talks to the truth that his band, The Band, never ever accomplished the very same degree of success as a few of their contemporaries. Despite their critical praise, they never attained the same level of industrial success as other bands of the age. This can be attributed to a range of aspects, such as their absence of a significant label deal, their rejection to conform to the popular music fads of the moment, or their decision to focus on smaller, extra intimate programs instead of large-scale scenic tours. Regardless of this, The Band's music has endured and also their influence can still be felt today. Levon Helm's quote acts as a suggestion that success is not always gauged in terms of cd sales or show tours, yet instead in the effect that a band's songs carries its listeners.
