Rick Danko in Concert was Band bassist and singer Rick Danko's second solo release, issued in 1997 as the first release on the small Woodstock Records label, in which Danko and The Band had interests. Featuring live recordings of eight tracks previously issued on both early-period and late-period Band albums (with a cover of "Don't Mess Up a Good Thing" added to give keyboardist Aaron Hurwitz a vocal shot), it was culled from two low fidelity live shows at the Orpheum Theatre, Foxborough, Massachusetts on 22 February 1997 and Atomic Productions, Clinton, New Jersey on 6 March 1997.

The album features stripped-down arrangements, as only Danko (mostly sticking to guitar), Aaron Hurwitz (piano and accordion) and Band drummer Randy Ciarlante are present. Although the performances on this CD are excellent the sound quality leaves something to be desired.
