Video: The Band and The Cates perform at Fayetteville's Rink Aug. 31, 1984
A video freeze-frame of The Band and The Cates performance 32 years ago.
The Band and The Cate Brothers performed at The Rink in Fayetteville on Aug. 31, 1984. Randy Stratton supervised all things venue. Eric Gorder, who is now the director of the Faculty Technology Center on campus, produced and directed the video and donated the 3/4-inch tapes to the David and Barbara Pryor Center for Oral and Visual History to digitize and preserve.
The Pryor Center has posted a portion of the video to its home page for the next week.
The Band formed in 1964 after splitting off from Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks, performing backup for Bob Dylan in the mid-60s and recording their own music into the late 1970s. The Cate Brothers began performing together in the early 1960s as well and continue to perform locally on occasion.
Levon Helm dedicated the evening to Randy Stratton's father, Dayton Stratton, and started the performance with "A Story Everybody Knows."
