Los Angeles, Aug 12 (Ians) Musician Robbie Robertson died proud that he supported Bob Dylan when he went electric.
The Band guitarist was part of Bob’s backing group known as The Hawks when the ‘Like a Rolling Stone’ singer was famously booed by fans at gigs in the mid-1960s for ditching his acoustic folk style for rock, reports aceshowbiz.com.
Robbie, whose death aged 80 was announced on Wednesday, August 9, said in a 2017 chat with Mojo that has been reprinted by the magazine in honor of his legacy, “(Bob Dylan and The Hawks) got booed all over North America, Australia, Europe, and people were saying this isn’t working and we kept on and Bob didn’t budge.
We got to a place where we would listen to these tapes and say, ‘You know what? They’re wrong. And we’re right.’ Eight years later, we do a tour, the (1974) Dylan/Band tour.

Robbie Robertson, a founder of The Band and a collaborator for both Bob Dylan and Martin Scorsese, died August 9 at the age of 80. Robertson was Scorsese’s music producer starting with 1982’s “The King of Comedy” and they most recently worked together on “Killers of the Flower Moon,” which Apple and Paramount will open this fall.
But Robertson’s most meaningful collaboration with Scorsese was as one of the subjects of the Oscar-winning filmmaker’s 1978 documentary “The Last Waltz,” chronicling The Band’s 1976 concert at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, where Robertson was joined by his bandmates and the likes of Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond, Emmylou Harris, Van Morrison, Neil Young, and Eric Clapton. It was also the swan song for all five original members of The Band.
