What a talented group of musicians each one better then the other. The Band was the best !!!!!!
I would recognize Levon’s voice anywhere. Viva the memory and music of The Band.
Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. It is a little Pearl of music history.
My Dad was the drummer for a known band (Ritchie Knight & the Mid-Nights - "Charlena") in the early 60's, Yonge St. Toronto Canada. He knew them all back in the day. Even played with Rick Bell (their last piano player) for a time.
Growing up, my dad never told me to listen to The Band or any other type of music for that matter. I had to figure it all out for myself.
I was 18 when I discovered The Band. I'm now 53 and still listen all the time. I saw Levon with a RINGO all-star tour and Danko solo at a small club in Toronto. But, sadly never got to see them all together. My point is: The cream always rises to the top, and they were the top for Canadian Rock. Not Neil, Not Guess Who, Not April Wine, Not Rush. THE BAND!
I was at this concert, on the same bill there was Thomas Scott and the LA Express, Joni Mitchell, and of course Crosby Stills Nash & Young. That concert permanently scared my brain, so much talent in one place on a sunny summer’s saturday.
Jesse Colin Young opened up. I was there too. Stay safe.
See a 2nd drum kit. Whoelse played?
Just googled it. WOW!!!!! What a show. Everybody at the top of their game.
@@EdwardHomerVIC Richard Manuel on Mystery Train
Forever envious
There will NEVER EVER be another band like this. I thank God that I got to see them twice.
instaBlaster...
Lucky. 👍
I was there 18..we actually got tickets for Crosby Stills and Nash.
Then I got 'into The Band '.
Lucky you, I was a baby when this concert happened. My parents used to see them play at a dance hall in their tiny hometown back in the early 60s and I didn't get to see them till years later when they got back together (minus Robbie).
I am now convinced that Rick Danko was an absolute genius lunatic. Just what this band needed.....
That's what everybody needs.
Love love love. Best band ever - The Band. Listen to their music all the time. Few times a year I visit Richards gravesite in Stratford Ontario where I live
Heh so do I
I was there, I was 24, now 70, remember smoking quite a bit, lol.
I was there too, 20 years young. CSNY, Joni and Jesse Colin Young (I think) and I was smoking what you were smoking too! The sound was crap compared with what they can do with it in stadiums these days but man, what a line-up!
@@owentuckett938 It was a crap sound system, but I don't remember caring that much, too star struck.
jack ryder What a great time for music. The 70’s were the best. Cheers Jack.
hi jack...who was the headline band ? thnx
@@TheMichaelseymour CSNY I think but my blow addle brain might be wrong. I do remember we got pulled by the cops on the way home, they searched us but not the boot (trunk) of the mini where there was a Kilo of finest Moroccan, with Palm Tree and Camel stamped on it. Hohoho
How much talent can you squeeze into one band? This much. Just wish there was more top quality footage of them. Thank goodness we have the Last Waltz.
And to me, The Last Waltz was ruined by all the extra people. Wish it had just been The Band.
@@custerranch But then again, if they hadn't have made a movie with a stellar cast I don't think they would have such a huge fanbase today. I watched the movie on TV largely because of those guests; I had not heard of the band. The movie was actually responsible for me discovering Dylan's music too as he was only a famous name to me then.
I was able to see the band twice
Martin Scorsese saw that and knew he had to document it on film. God bless him.
@@stutombs5294 you hadn’t heard of them? That’s crazy as they were playing Wembley here and were Dylan’s touring band for a time. Was you not into music?
This is the real thing, real rock 'n' roll, made by real musicians, really getting into their music and getting better from song to song. No drum mashine, no autotune and most of all no silly background singers.
I agree the sentiment but this was a really good example of a bunch of addicts approaching burnout.
John Russell Yeah while Robbie was snorting cocaine with Marty Scorsese for 18 straight months during the editing of The Last Waltz. He certainly knows addicts because he was one himself!
It's so sad and hard to think that only Robbie and Garth are left :-(
yup fucking drugs , money, and needy people who become stars is definitely not a good combination so frucking sad saw dankos last days performing with paul butterfield also last performing days at the bottom line both real bloated oh well
@@michaelhoffman5486 cheese and rice Michael. Jesus Christ, in other words. You are so right. And it doesn't matter in the end. What does matter? Family and friends,
I will be 68 in April. Happy to be alive....between me and my wife of 26 years ...six children, 12 grandchildren and six and counting greats.
It gets better every year. They keep mating.
@@michaelhoffman5486 Jesus Christ.
@@michaelhoffman5486 needy people ? wtf
@@detestor420 Creative people are often very needy. That often fuels their creativity.
They improvised and stayed amazingly tight at the same time. The live performances of their songs are often better than the original recordings.
Such a great band
Great show!!👍👍 The Bands music lives on forever!!!
Amazing to find this. These guys are totally unfazed by the fact they're playing to about 100K people. Hard to believe a group as great as this existed. So much talent for 5 blokes. Thanks to PF for uploading this concert.
they are playing very fast other than that they sound great
They had played to about 600,000 at Watkins Glen the year before. I doubt they were fazed much.
@@jeffspradlin1209 I was about to say the same thing. Imagine 600,000 at Watkins Glen for a one day concert with only three bands.
Where can I find the concert you folks are referring to?
@@williamadamsmusic3025 there's very little footage out there of it, even though so many people were there
I was there too. Great day marked by the only time I saw Joni Mitchell. It is 1974 and so I didn’t expect great sound and picture quality. Amazing to think I was there. Have read the Band were not happy about the arrangements for their performance. It was a great day for the Canadians.
What a gig to have seen, hell of a line up. Saw the Band at the Albert Hall around the time of Stage Fright, me and my mate came down from Newcastle for it, Big Pink and The Band remain two of my all time fav albums. Must've been great to see Joni around that time, Court & Spark and Hissing of Summer lawns are my two fav albums of her, did get to see her in Edinburgh in the early 80's, which was great but I do wish id had the chance to see her back here!
The best rock and roll-blues-folk-country music band ever. Thanks!
You forgot one: 'Rag Mama Rag': rag time!
Yes the one and only...Often imitated but never duplicated! Now a days a band is lucky to have 1 guy with any real musical talent. These guys were bursting at the seams
The Band we're all those styles you described...
I just call them Americana
They took us from the Civil War to the present.
Americana invented by four Canadians and a Southern boy...
Their music was true and helped us face ourselves
AMERICANA!
☮️&❤️
Just call it AMERICANA! The Band created the genre and so many have followed in their footsteps! It took 4 Canadians and 1 American Southerner to tell the story of America, thus the term "Americana"
One of my favourite bands ever - I was there at Wembley that day - CSNY, The Band, Joni Mitchell and more. RIP Garth today, the last man standing...
When we finally get to the bar at the end of the universe we’ll step through the door, pay our money , turn our palm up to get the stamp from the door man, step up to the bar & pay $1.25 for a frosty long-neck. When we turn to look at the stage we’ll see these guys, pounding out some of the best rock & roll ever dreamed of.
the beer will be free at that hitching post.
Lead the way, Brother Peter and Jim.
The Golden Age of Rock....Thanks for posting...👍
Garth Hudson is a musical BEAST!
Everyone in this band was a musical BEAST! Back when musicianship and talent(and a bit of luck) were the only factors. Today it's all frosting while the cake is rotten!
Mad genius.
Garth is a gifted musician. He polished many of The Band’s recordings.
Love basically sound checking and noodling to a crowd of 100,000. So casual in the 70's.
One of the greatest bands of all time! The only sin is the quality of a lot of these old video recordings. Today’s video technology creates crystal clear video of artists that are not nearly as talented as many of these classic rock bands from the 60’s & 70’s. Thank god Martin Scorsese was a big fan and made “The Last Waltz” with movie quality film so everyone could appreciate how they really looked & sounded live.
What a great surprise to find this ! I was there, FRONT ROW, I never totally came down since ... The Band & CSNY blew me away !
Was your brother there too ?
@@joeambrose3260 ... do we know each other ? This is a peculiar question but my answer is YES. I came from France for this festival with my brother and 3 other friends.
This brings back a great , lifetime, moment of a day ... If I look hard enough I may even see me ... :D
greatest underrated rock band loved the band rip rich danko helm omg u ruled
Wow, what a treat seeing the entire show after all these years, I didn't think the whole set existed, thanks for sharing!
yeah, thought i'd click on it, 'n have a quick listen, but NOOOOOO - the footage is RIVETING, & couldn't stop watching!!
the close -ups GOLDEN -catching the emotions & artistry of perhaps greatest band, EVER!!! thanks so much for posting, p f!!
I think Robbie is a underated guitarist he realy put the hook in me watching him jam with Eric Clapton one of my top all time favorite guitarist on the last Waltz him and Eric were hooking it up !!!#
Great show thanks for posting this rare classic Band show!!
These guys are great!
So fantastic - Stage Fright probably the highlite for me - Rick and Garth at their best!
Wow, what a treat! Thanks for posting. Richard's shirt alone is worth the price of admission!
This is awesome wait no this is fantastic wait no this unbelievable awesomeness
I was there! Age 14. Amazing memories.
What a great, swinging, drummer Levon was!
Amen.
Only Ginger Baker, Moon, Bonzo, and Charlie Watts are in his league
Love how he uses his shoulders! ❤🥁🥁🥁❤
Never get tired of watching him. Always looks like he is having the best time.
Levon had a good acting career for a brief season, ie Coal Miners Daughter and The Right Stuff
They were so talented, learnt it by ear !!!!
They are such a great band. Danko and Manuel are like Lennon and McCartney when they sing harmonies, so special and unique...in class of thier own! Simply the best! Just Another Whisle Stop...
@Wm Delong - Canadian Beatles. :) Levon Helm was the only American.
Thanks for posting. I was there, to see The Band. I'd seen them 3 years before at Albert Hall. They were awesome and the sound was great. At Wembley, the other acts had a clean sound, but, as you can hear, their sound guy was having problems. But it's still wonderful.
Lee Kosmin Yeah, in the second part you can see Rick Danko is clearly annoyed with the sound guy. Ronnie Hawkins always said that Danko has “funny ears,” both literally and figuratively.
@@paschkefan As I said, the other acts that day had a clean sound, but not our heroes
Also, Robbie CAN'T get his guitar in tune. This would suggest that new strings were put on before the gig by someone who didn't get the "bite", to stop them from slipping. Maybe the same person who butchered the sound.
@@paschkefan Robbie can't get his guitar in tune. Strings not put on properly
@@paschkefan Hello and sorry to bother ! Do you by chance own this show on a DVD somewhere? I recently purchased this show on dvd turns out its just a youtube rip of your vids... I'v been trying to find this source if its even possible. Would you maybe be interested in trading for this show? - Matt
Robbie caught the showbiz bug early and never looked back. Manuel was electric
Thanks so much for uploading. Stunning adore the band they were incredibly talented. LEVON Helm most amazing
this NEEDS to be put on DVD/BluRay
This is FANTASTIC.
Saw the Band in Jersey City with the Dead in 73 or 74. Great show..
Oh man, thanks for sharing. I am somewhere in the crowd in the center. What a day
Wow you must be 100 years old
@@mojopin70 probably more like 64 but you're only off by 35 yrs or so
this is for eternity⭐️⭐️
thanks⭐️
The first tune Hard Times/ The Slop was written by my good friend and bandmate, the late great Noble 'Thin Man' Watts!
The King of the Boogie Sax!
That's really cool, what was the name of your band?
@@demoleramera The Mark Hodgson Band Featuring Noble 'Thin Man ' Watts.
@@demoleramera Check out 'Caledonia ' from 'Wednesday Night At The Boot' Mark Hodgson Band!
This is such a treat. Thanks for posting this.
Love them all, love their music. Robbie wrote some great lyrics, played great guitar, so handsome and full of charisma, however, I love to watch Rick bouncing all over the stage. He too was very handsome in his youth, and such an endearing personality.
I’m very lucky, I met Rick in Philadelphia and shared a “smoke” with Levon in New Jersey in 2004. When it was “Levon and the Barnburners”
I was there! + Joni Mitchell, CSNY.
It was very good.
i had read the backstage Jimmy Page Robert Plant Robbie and Neil jammed for a bit. Then Levon came inand they set up a kit for him.
Also Jesse Colin Young, who opened up. I was there too!
A real Canadian concert, The Band were all Canadian except for Levon, Joni is Canadian, and Neil Young is Canadian.
So was I!!
Thanks for the upload!
Manuel could have been one of the greatest of all time . . . . makes me mad. He was great but damn.
I didn't even know this existed. I'm indisguinged but I'm on this as I was literally at the front in the middle.
I was there !!!
I see you!
I would be indisguinged too if I were you.
I was there 17 years old. Joni Mitchell was fantastic. Britt Ekland was bopping behind me Great day.
Cool! I remember reading in Robbie's book where he mentions Rick Danko pulling Britt Ekland from the side of the stage so there might have been more bopping between those two after the show.
Me too, I was 19 and Joni was indeed fantastic - from memory it was pretty similar to the Miles of Aisles double LP
Thanks soooo much!!
It's so hard watching Rick Danko. He was such a lovable band member. All of them were so special. Richard Manuel,Garth a giant among musicians and of course Robbie. They should never have broken up...I don't think they knew how organic they really were...goddamn drugs ...too much of a good thing...I miss Rick,mostly...Hell I miss em ALL.Like candles in the wind! Still...Rick Danko,I think of him as the spark.Will there ever be another like them?Nope!Just like there will never be another Dylan or BB or,Young or,Janis or Jimi or...or...on and on and on ...All the blues unknowns who never got discovered...and the ones just never got the big break...all the music folk around the world in every language who know the healing power of the lyric!Oh,I want to mention Rory Gallagher!"Too soon gone...Too many too soon gone...gone where?I think I know.GOD BLESS THE MUSIC MAKERS WHEREVER YOU ARE!!!!!GOD BLESS ROCK AND ROLL!
Levon was my favorite and of course Rick was so joyful but also deeply sad and soulful.
Wow, I hear everything you're saying ,brother.
If you're a big Danko fan, definitely check out the "Festival Express" DVD. There's some great footage there of him playing and singing his ass off with Janis and Garcia during a drunken midnight jam session on a moving transcontinental train.
@@RobHollanderMusic Absolutely agree, jamming on the train with Janice and Gerry.
Drugs. The downfall of a great band of brothers.
In the end, Robbie was right. They had to get off the road to save themselves. Unfortunately, poor Richard didn’t get the message.

Oh , I miss ,Levon Helm.
Great show, I believe it was the same year they toured with Dylan, too bad about the video vertical hold thing , I can recall the old TV's always had that problem...
The band in the UK, I'd give up so much to be at this gig, no sign of stage fright here folks.
I was there. Sound was good. Tickets were split between the seats or the pitch. They put up a fence. After a short while anyone with any gumption went down to the pitch. I have some photos.
I had this cranked at the cottage and I was doing the Danko Shuffle while mowing the lawn. Needless to say the lines are a little wonky but it's summer time so who cares.
What a crowd!!!!!
I'd love to have a pair of those glasses Levon is wearing. 😎
Robbie looked like he had so much fun playing rock n roll, much like Eddie, that it’s hard to reconcile with the idea that when he was relatively young he decided it was mostly boring.
Never heard that about Robbie, I read his book and also Barney Hoskyns biography of The Band. He was hooked on rock and roll as a teenager and even before.
@@hannejeppesen1809 I read his book as well as biographies too and he was definitely not as excited about live playing in his 30s on as he was in his 20s.
@@SmelOdies I guess I misunderstood your comment, I thought you meant he thought the music (rock and roll). Yes, you are right, he was done with touring, and he was weary of kind of being the caretaker of 3 (Richard, Rick and Levon) heroin addict. Also by 1974 he had 3 small children and wanted to spend more time with them. I don't think he found the music boring, but at the same time he seemed like the kind of person that was always looking for something new and different.
@@hannejeppesen1809 I don’t think he found the act of guitar playing itself as fun as he appeared to in the footage that we all know.
@@SmelOdies What footage are you referring to? The Last Waltz? I don't want to speculate. I know Robbie was always all about the music, but I think he was always looking for new ways to express himself. However, he continued to play guitar and also collect them.
Oh Canada baby...Lots of Maple Syrup at this gig. Manuel, Robertson, Danko, Hudson, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell.
@ps I don't know where you got these videos (parts 1,2 & 3) but I'm very pleased that you chose to share them. Many thanks.
No problem! Glad you enjoyed the videos.
@@paschkefan .m.r of, thanks again for videos, never seen this before and just think they were playing the Last Waltz a short time later.
@@paschkefan What was the source of this footage? Any chance it could be restored?
The band so underrated just the band no one person was the leader(yes i know about Robbie) but during these times they were so good i feel like they were a jam band because the songs at their live shows were different than the album
Great, I too was there. Would love it even more if CSN&Y on same day was on vid .. ?
Rick Danko is pretty much forgotten and Robbie and Levon got all the attention. But what a force.
Rick Danko was definitely my favorite person in The Band... He has not been forgotten... I listen to him and think of him every day! ✌🏼😎
Rick ❤
I woz there! Oh yes I woz 😊😍🎶
Damn they were good
That Red Stratocaster would become the Bronze Stratocaster that Robbo used for the Last Waltz...True.✌🏼
Did he out play Clapton @ The Waltz ?
Susan Chait Looking through my Band tinted spectacles....Y E S
Susan Chait Not even close. He was a better songwriter than Clapton, though.
In your opinion,,,I’d much rather see the Band than any outfit Clapton has been apart of .
Like I said “looking through rose tinted spectacles “
Do you play guitar?
Bozack Tbc It’s not an opinion. Ask any guitarist. Yes, I am one. I’d rather see The Band than most of Clapton’s outfits, but check out Delaney and Bonnie with Clapton:
ruclips.net/video/DnBijF6hawc/видео.html
One of the guitars was a little out of tune right then, but for me, that band vs The Band is a coin flip. Not because of Clapton, though.
Here’s the thing: There’s a lot more to a great band than the lead guitarist. And different things are not the same. I’m not denigrating Clapton’s guitar playing when I say Clapton never wrote anything as good as “The Weight”. It’s just a fact that he didn’t. Clapton couldn’t sing like Levon Helm, either. Still a great guitar player.
GLORIUS...
What a fucking band bang straight in no mucking about great musicians
Rick Danko was so damn cool
the best. Great guy, too. We spent a week together one night after one his solo shows.
He had a unique way of flailing around his left arm while playing the bass for sure.
Jack The Skunk The Danko Shuffle
I was there they said there was 12000 people in it was a very hot day ---music @ weather
DUDE! This time in history blows. Because we all know this will all be cleaned up and sound perfect in the future. Probably a week after I die. HAAH
This is obviously taken off a VHS dub of the original footage, which looks like it could have been 35mm film. If so, where is it and who has it? This must be made available. We need to lobby the US Library of Congress or somebody! This is a crime that we can't watch and listen to this amazing music in pristine quality. God bless The Band.
Holy hell that was the great live Version of The Weight ive ever heard them do
Mr. Friendly It was good, but I preferred their Woodstock performance of it though
Oooooh yeeeeeaaaah!!!!
Concert starts at 4:18
Absolute f****** class
4:08 Feedback... oh that is Garth blowin' the saxophone. lol
Great to find this, shame the tape slows down now and again and production quality not too great either, but better to have it than not. Always nice to listen to a concert you were actually at. I'm now wondering if there was a recording of them at the Royal Albert Hall now. Many thanks p f.
Danko
levon the coolest dude in the plane. says a lot considering he’s in a band with robbie richard rick and garth lol
We all have our favorites, they all were talented. As far as I'm concerned Robbie was the cool one. Rick loveable and great soulful voice.
Not me buddy, no way would I even attempt to go to any concert with a crowd like that 😮 I saw them in '74 with Bob Dylan in the United States. I was third row on the floor of an indoor venue and they were 1,000 times better than this. 🤟✌️❤️🌼
❤
Is time traveling possible cause I've never seen the band and I so want to see them?
and fogerty to warm up on the PA. what a day mustve been
It was...I was there.For years wondered if there was any recording.
And here it is, jumps an all !!
... same day the Grateful Dead played Munich, Olympia-Halle, GER and I watched them.
The Band play in Wembley ... but the people is two miles away from stage
Din look like they cared too much!!😄
I found Rick's vocal on "Stage Fright" to be quite entertaining. A bit of Dylan's influence perhaps?
@rogerod52 Can you cite a source for that info? I've never heard it before.
Thank You so much!! How did you get this?? Absolutely great
👍👍
Summer in London.......
... when the rain warms up a bit!
