E: 04/11 Win The Band ‘LIVE AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC 1971’ 4CD+DVD collection

HOLY MOLY
To win one copy of The Band ‘LIVE AT THE ACADEMY OF MUSIC 1971’ 4CD+DVD collection simply tell us the name of The Band before they became The Band.

I'm hoping someone with more knowledge of The Band can help here as they were known as...
Levon and the Hawks
Canadian Squires

so I'm not 100% sure what Holy Moly are after here

    I would go with Levon and the Hawks as that is the name they would actually tour under and 1 single Go Go Liza Jane is on some sites given as The Bands record yet others attribute it to Levon and the Hawks, from what I can tell The Canadian Squires songs were released a few months before a couple of Levon and The Hawks songs.
    Edit - Digging a bit deeper this
    http://www.robbie-robertson.com/biography/
    gives 1967 as when The Hawks become The Band , so whether we put The Hawks or Levon and The Hawks is now the next question :-)
  • They were definitely better known as The Hawks, but their records were credited to Levon and the Hawks. I guess one could write "(Levon and the) Hawks".
