Keywords: Lost media, digital archaeology, fan preservation, Ok.ru, The Band (1968–1976), 2009 revival. 1. Executive Summary The search query “The Band 2009 Ok.ru” points to a unique digital phenomenon. It does not refer to a new album or a reunion tour (the famous group featuring Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, etc., effectively disbanded in 1976 and saw its final classic-era show in 1978). Instead, it refers to a grassroots, posthumous digital tribute: the uploading and sharing of rare, high-quality, and often obscure recordings of The Band to the Russian social media site Odnoklassniki (Ok.ru) around the year 2009.
