Monday Morning Key Bumps: The Band - The Shape I'm In

Here's a video of the Robbie-less Band playing it in 1983.

The Robbie-and-Manuel-less Band also played it throughout the 90s.
I managed to see them a handful of times in the 90s. It was great, nobody cared about the Band's music then so you could see them in bars.... Levon, Rick, and Garth. I'm so glad I got into them in the late 80s.
I even saw them with Billy Preston sitting in on keyboards. I was standing right in front of Billy and about 10 feet from Levon. Billy's spit was hitting me while he sang "Will It Go Round In Circles", "Nothing from Nothing" and "Get Back". Ah, memories.
