1969 listening to the Band over and over, I know there were so many elements that were so crucial to their unique identity, but over all the years since I've realised it was Richard's voice that made them sound like old-timers in touch with the earth and every human passion. I feel priveleged to have been able to listen to them and learn some of their songs to play with friends. Love to the memories of Richard, Robbie, Levon and Rick and much love and ongoing respect also to 'Brother' Garth who created such ethereal atmosphere on songs like Whispering Pines. Geniuses all.
Clearly at a time when Manuel was clean, sober, and kicking ass. There were shows from years before this where he sounded 20 years older. God bless Richard Manuel. RIP.
SO GREAT TO HAVE LIVED IN THE BEST ERA FOR MUSIC HEAVEN IS ROCKIN MISS MY BEST FRIEND JOEY THAT PASSED AWAY THIS YEAR HE LOVED THE BAND AND THE ALLMAN BROTHERS
Richard Manuel would have been 78 today.Paul Butterfield[R.I.P] is sitting in on harp-have no idea who's the extra guitar player-is that Bobby Keys[R.I.P.] on sax?
It’s much more complicated than that. Having devoured every scrap of writing about these guys, I’d say that the issue was most definitely NOT Robbie; had it not BEEN for Robbie in the first place, there goes about 80% of the songs. The issue was drugs. Helm, Danko, and Manuel all had drug problems that stymied the creative development of The Band. Levon blamed the songwriting credit issue, but it’s fascinating how the quality of the records went down at roughly the time that their drug addictions were taking hold. As for the issue of songwriting credits, Band insiders like Ronnie Hawkins, John Simon, and Jonathan Taplin all have stated that Robbie was properly credited. There WAS no “feud”. “Feud” implies two parties. Robbie never slandered Levon the way that Levon slandered Robbie in his “autobiography”. Robbie has had nothing but kind things to say about Levon.
Robbie robertson destroyed the band that he started. He can write lyrics and little guitar? The band was much more than Robbie. They all created the sound
@@danreilly2792 Again, it was drugs that destroyed The Band, not Robbie. The reason why Robbie wanted to shut things down...temporarily...was that he was concerned about the health of Richard and Rick and, to a smaller extent, Levon. All three were messing with Heroin. The 76 Tour that culminated in The Last Waltz was very hit and miss in terms of performance, and Richard got into a boating accident early on that took him out of action for a while. It was not designed to be a permanent ending, just a temporary hiatus to give everyone a chance to clean up and get healthy. They finished up “Islands” in the Studio, and just never got back together until 83, by which time Robbie had a lucrative career working for Scorsese. Robbie was actually trying to look out for them.
@@danreilly2792 As to the “play a little guitar” comment, you may not be aware that he successfully fended off challenges...as a Teenager!...from both Fred Carter, Jr AND the legendary Roy Buchanan. Ronnie Hawkins loved to set up “duels” between his musicians and potential additions to The Hawks. Robbie was a teenager fending off not one, but two different guitar legends.
He was with CSN as a regular for years. Also played on Electric Ladyland with Jimi Hendrix. Finnigan toured with and sessioned for Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, Etta James, Sam Moore, Crosby Stills and Nash, Dave Mason, Buddy Guy, The Manhattan Transfer, Taj Mahal, Michael McDonald, Maria Muldaur, Peter Frampton, Cher, Ringo Starr, Leonard Cohen, Tower of Power, Rod Stewart, David Coverdale, Tracy Chapman, Los Lonely Boys, and Bonnie Raitt.
Richard ❤ 💥 You are so missed!!!
Richard Manuel, a hurting man who really didn’t know how good he was and still is. His legacy will stay with us all- rest easy Rich, Rick and Levon.
love him rip baby
RIP Richard. This doesn't look like the Band to me. so many unknowns
Emanuel singing is amazing!
And now Robbie's gone. RIP.
@@PhukIT1865it’s The Paul Butterfield Blues Band and Richard , Garth and Rick are sitting in with them I believe

Absurd how great Richard sounds here. Miss him so much.
Danko was a beast!
What a lineup! Not just the Band, but Butter and Blondie, too. Rick is pure joy!
Rousing performance, but Richard proved why he is one of the best rock vocalists of all time.
Such great talents every single one of them! I love THE BAND
the best damn music period
Rick's fantastic harmony singing...
Richard Manuel
El corazón de The Band
What a fantastic set by The Band, esp Richard Manuel's voice in superb shape! Thanks for bringing us this performance!
Clearly at a time when Manuel was clean, sober, and kicking ass. There were shows from years before this where he sounded 20 years older. God bless Richard Manuel. RIP.
They were all brilliant musicians individually, as the Band they were Magnificent. Miss that music nowadays. Thank God we have recordings
SO GREAT TO HAVE LIVED IN THE BEST ERA FOR MUSIC HEAVEN IS ROCKIN MISS MY BEST FRIEND JOEY THAT PASSED AWAY THIS YEAR HE LOVED THE BAND AND THE ALLMAN BROTHERS

How in the world do you get to heaven By listening to the Band
I don't know, but I'm sure going to have fun trying.
I agree 😂
Long love the band
Very nice performance, is there a full concert by chance?
Garth still lives with his wife in Woodstock.
Beautiful
Richard Manuel would have been 78 today.Paul Butterfield[R.I.P] is sitting in on harp-have no idea who's the extra guitar player-is that Bobby Keys[R.I.P.] on sax?
its not bobby keys, other guitarist is beach boys member " blondie chaplin "
when garth goes i'm gonna lose it
There are only 2 words that capture this group THE BAND its too bad they couldn't get along with each other
They got along with each other it was just Robbie they didn't along with.
It’s much more complicated than that.

Where is Levon?
Didn't make this show.
Blondie chaplin?
I think you're right. And Butterfield on harp.
Yep
they all had good voices
remembering Ricarhd on his birthday...sigh
He the bomb
where's Levon ?????
Who's with the harmonica. I thought he looked like Burton Cummings at first, but likely not.
Paul Butterfield
Paul Butterfield
Is levon in this? And who’s all performing
no
Where’s Levon
Didn't make it.
Who is that on piano? I have seen him before but can't remember his name.
I meant organ/keyboards.
@@MrMojolinux Mike Finnigan, great organist and singer originally from the Serfs
He was with CSN as a regular for years. Also played on Electric Ladyland with Jimi Hendrix.
Finnigan toured with and sessioned for Jimi Hendrix, Joe Cocker, Etta James, Sam Moore, Crosby Stills and Nash, Dave Mason, Buddy Guy, The Manhattan Transfer, Taj Mahal, Michael McDonald, Maria Muldaur, Peter Frampton, Cher, Ringo Starr, Leonard Cohen, Tower of Power, Rod Stewart, David Coverdale, Tracy Chapman, Los Lonely Boys, and Bonnie Raitt.
That was awesome.
Who was the guy playing guitar facing Manuel? I've seen him on other gigs on RUclips.
I believe that's Blondie Chaplin. He's played with the Beach Boys, the Rolling Stones and a ton of other folks.
@@knd2000 And that's one guy who can sing like there is no tomorrow. Blondie hits his notes.
Yep. That’s Blondie. Sail On Sailor was the most soulful song that The Beach Boys released...and Blondie made that song. Period.
Beak :)
Who's the guy playing guitar on the far right that you can hardly see?
Looks like Jim Krueger to me and that's the way he held his guitar, but I can't tell for certain.
*｡ﾟ●Richard♡ ¸. ¸*
Butterfield are stoned!!!
Butterfield died in 1987 so this is somewhere before that and after The Last Waltz.
rest of Richard

I guess 1984 but not sure. Richard passed in 1986.
