Query: Sad album

There are some very pretty songs on this album but an incredible sadness comes through it all. I think the Band were in a bad period when they made this -- all three lead singers were shooting heroin and you can hear it in their voices, particularly Levon Helm's. Of all of the Band's albums, I find this hardest to listen to because it's the first time you can hear the damage that will eventually destroy them. The songs are much better heard as live versions on "Rock of Ages" and "The Last Waltz." And I think it's a mistake to say "Not as great as the first two Band albums, but much better than any other music being made at the time." 1970 was the year of "After the Goldrush," "Moondance," "Layla," "American Beauty," "Plastic Ono Band," and a dozen other extraordinary albums. "Stage Fright" is not one of them.
