It's just a beautiful song, a beautiful performance. No they ain't brothers, just brothers in arms.
That was Garth Hudson playing the sax at the end. He can play any instrument ever made and is a musical genius.
He was simply phenomenal on any instrument he touched. The Teacher.
I was going to request "Stage Fright" to showcase his organ playing. Next month.
He had the most pure musical talent of anyone in the group. Before joining the others he was a high school music teacher.
@@roncarpenter7240 Yes he did, that's why they called him teacher and paid him ten dollars each a week, so he could tell his parents lol, it's explained in the movie.
Garth was a master, and he added extra class to The Band besides his musical brilliance
He was their music teacher!!
Garth was so good as a musician in his prime that he could play 3 different melodies on different instruments simultaneously .... Better than anyone else . Quite phenomenal talent .
"and the dawn don't rescue me no more" . Great line.
Been there a few times. It can bring you to your knees.
Great line
The Band is one of the greatest bands in rock history. They are all first rate musicians.
"The Weight" is one of the best songs ever written. Also, "Up On Cripple Creek", The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", The Shape I'm In", " King Harvest" are great.
They were Bob Dylan's back up band, called themselves "The Hawks" on several of Dylan's landmark mid 60's albums.
They toured supporting Dylan without Levon Helm in 66-67 and Dylan just referred to them as "The Band." They were the Hawks (with Levon) when playing for Ronnie Hawkins from the early '60s until around '65. Not counting the home recordings known as The Basement Tapes done in 67-68, The Band first recorded with Dylan officially on Planet Waves in '74. They were recorded live as well on Before The Flood in the same year.
My favorite album by them is Rock of Ages and my favorite song is Don’t Do It. King Harvest is another great one, though.
Absolutely 💯 "The Weight " is one of the best songs 🎵 ever
Spot on Batman! Love these guys.
I'd add Richard Manuel's rendition of "I Shall Be Released" which, to me, is one of the most heart-rending performances of any song any time any where.
The live version on RUclips is very moving. If I'm not mistaken it was recorded some months before he took his own life, which gives the performance added gravitas considering the state of mind he must have been in.
Would be a tearjerker for Harri to review.
“To Kingdom Come” and “This Wheel’s on Fire” two of my favorites.
Arguably, one of the greatest heartbreak songs of love lost ever composed. Rick Danko presents the story with the voice of a broken heart and lost all will to live. A true masterpiece.
I love Rick Danko and this song he put all his emotions in.
The Last Waltz Concert {movie} is bittersweet as it's the last time they all played together
@@missblondie2393 💗💔💗
Rick Danko really bares his soul here. So moving. You got exactly what they were trying to convey here, Harri. That emotional honesty is what makes all art great.
I love Rick, his voice has that something that just touches your heart
He bares his soul and my heart breaks. After 33 years of marriage my husband left my son's and myself for someone half our age that has two little children. My heart still aches and I think it always will.
The emotion came from within Rick Danko's heart as he knew that this concert was the very last time The Band would ever play together again . They broke up after The Last Waltz and everybody that night knew what it meant for everyone ... Rock's greatest night ! RIP Robbie Robertson .
It's a terrific and sad song sung by Rick Danko. And when Garth Hudson comes out with that horn at the end... wow.
I've always said they are the most underrated, under appreciated band ever. Each member a musical genius in they're own right. Together they caught lightning in a bottle. All songs great and after years of hearing them all I'm still amazed by the talent each and every time.
Underrated by whom? The Band was a part of classic rock history. They're being discovered by a new generation.
they were on the cover of Time magazine, when print media was important...super appreciated
Great reaction and comments. This is definitely Rick Danko’s masterpiece.
I love and miss Rick Danko!!! RIP Rick!!!😢😢 Great bassist and he had a fantastic inflections and great voice👌👌👍👍✌✌😁😁
The shape I’m in , and stage fright are two very good ones ,
They started out with Ronnie Hawkins, they were the Hawks, sadly Ronnie died a couple of months ago
The Band was one of the greatest bands ever. This video was taken from the movie, The Last Waltz, directed by Martin Scorsese and was the recording of their last performance as a group, so yeah, they were pretty emotional. Others joining them in songs included Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, The Staple Singers, etc. Their first album, Music From Big Pink is IMO, one of the best albums ever. Songs to explore by The Band: The Weight, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, King Harvest (Has Surely Come), Up On Cripple Creek, Chest Fever, I could go on and on. Harri, so glad you enjoyed them, would love to have you hear more!
I don't buy many movies, however I bought "The Last Waltz" on amazon and watch it so many times.
It's a masterpiece, between the concert, the amazing guests and a young Martin filmed it beautifully, love how he
weaved personal interviews between songs.
@@missblondie2393 I definitely agree, I think it's the best concert film ever.
@@ohfour-seven6228 Yes, I agree.....together with "Stop Making Sense" - Talking Heads !
THE greatest band ever
This became my favorite of The Band . I love a well delivered SAD SONG; ❤️
This was their farewell concert made in to a movie. They would have all been very emotional that evening.
A heartbreaking song!And singer Rick Danko puts his very guts in it! I like very much Robbie Robertson guitar too.When I saw The last waltz movie I didn´t know very much about his playing,but when Eric Clapton came on stage and they started exchanging solos I wasn´t able to say which one I liked the best.I think the song they played with Clapton was Further on up the road
Rick Danko sang this and the song Stage Fright he was picked to sing because his voice tended to have a somewhat nervous quality to it. Check out Stage Fright as well
Many consider this the best song Robbie Robertson ever wrote and Rick Danko’s best vocal performance.
I'm one of them and Robbie I believe wrote "Stage Fright" for Rick which Rick shines as well as the master Garth on organ
I watched an interview with Robbie Robertson. He specifically wrote this song for Rick to sing with Ricks voice in mind. And after hearing him sing it in rehearsals he knew it was the right voice instead of Levon.
Rick Danko was one of the greatest voices in rock. Two of the other great lead singers were Richard Manuel and Levon Helm -- also of The Band. Try Levon on The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down and Richard on King Harvest. The Best Band in rock history. They basically invented the genre called Americana -- and four of them were Canadian.
One of my favorite songs from The Band. Rick Danko puts so much emotion into it. Thanks for reacting to this song!
The Band was the greatest!
Great song from one of the all-time great bands. My grandparents were best friends with Rick Danko (the singer and bassist here) 's aunt and uncle. Because of that connection I got to meet a lot of cool musicians who had toured and played with artists like Dylan and Van Morrison when I was younger.
This is a great one Harri, Rick Danko at his emotional best RIP.
He was my favorite, RIP Rick. He was truly a breath of fresh air
Brothers in music only. Robbie is half Mohawk. He has done some great music honoring his Native American heritage. Love Crazy Chester!
Rick always (or at least most of the time) put all his emotions into his singing. That is why he is my favorite singer from The Band.
No Rick Danko and Robbie Robertson are not related. Robbie wrote most of the lyrics for them. R.I.P. Rick Danko,, Richard Manuel and Levon Helm.
Greatest song every written. Well certainly my No 1 song of all time. Just adore this version. Great pick and wonderful reaction. Bravo.
one of the greatest...for sure..
This song almost brought Me to tears when I first heard it. It touches the emotions so many of us have Rick Danko's craggy voice is so raw.
If you're ever going to react to a concert movie, the Band's Last Waltz would be a wonderful choice.
No other band like "The Band". After years of trying to put them in a category, the record industry or radio stations, etc. came up with the name "Americana"...good a name as any
Let's face it there are not many Bands of this calibre that 4 of the 5 guys actually sing lead. Garth is the only one who doesn't...simply amazing !
I'm one of the biggest Scorsese fans, but the edits he does on certain performances are criminal.
Exactly, well Levon was very vocal about that too of course, all the close ups of Robbie Robertson singing into a mic which was not even turned on lol...
Robbie helped with the edits as well....
This song video is from the film THE LAST WALTZ directed by Martin Scorsese. You should definitely check it out, Harri.
Bassist Rick Danko sang lead on this. The guitarist is Robbie Robertson (no relation to Rick), who wrote most of the songs. The drummer is the amazing Levon Helm, also a brilliant singer, and the sax player is Garth Hudson, who also played swirling organ lines on Band songs. Not shown is piano player Richard Manuel, who possessed an incredibly soulful voice in the Ray Charles category. It's hard to think of a band that had more vocal firepower. The Band and Dylan almost invented the Americana genre and had a tremendous influence on swinging music from psychedelia to an earthier style in the late '60s and early '70s.
They specialized in raw, unpolished sounds as their trademark. More please.
this is the way I felt when my wife past she loved the band so I played it at her funeral aloha
Rick Danko is such a storyteller, such emotion in his voice. Thanks, a great song. ☮️❤️
Thank you, H. One of the most heartwrenching songs ever..
One of the most emotional performances in all of rock history. The whole of The Last Waltz is simply musical perfection. If you haven’t done so yet, watch the entire movie! Right now! And take Scorsese’s advice in the beginning of the movie- THIS FILM SHOULD BE PLAYED LOUD! 🎸🔥
I’m not sure what to call it, but I’ve loved it for 45 yrs.
It is called obsession. Being obsessed with The Band or either of The Band members is understandable. I'm obsessed with their music, personalties and their stories. Love especially Robbie and Rick.
There are some great performances in that film - particularly of the classic Band songs. One of the greatest bands there ever was.
They were musical brothers. The band was truly a band and the sum of their parts were greater than any of their individual talents. Ultimately time, addictions and greed ended their musical brotherhood but they left an incredible musical legacy.
You are almost correct. Levon, Rick and Rich were doing heroin and other drugs as well. Robbie was doing drugs, but not heroin. He wanted to get off the road before something really bad happened. he had a young family. There's some dispute about the publishing rights, but Robbie wrote the song and were the driving force, the others, except Garth, although very talented in many ways, were too strung out on drugs. Robbie with their agreement bought them out for the publishing rights.
The Band was really the creation of the genre of "Americana"
One of my favorite songs of all time.....The Band played a lot with Bob Dylan.....that should give you some insight!!
I remember hearing that Eric Clapton left Cream with the idea of hoping to be invited to join The Band. Tells me the level of musicianship that was involved.
This version is from The Last Waltz - the movie detailing the Band's final concert. It's amazing but it cuts out an entire verse. The live version at the Casino Arena is available on RUclips and well worth checking out. Might even be better.
One of the best love lost songs ever! ♥
Have albums love them!!!!!!😎🤩
This song is about heartbreak and it will break your heart just listening to Rick Danko sing it. Glad you reacted to The Last Waltz' version.
This whole concert is quite amazing. I believe The Band's music/style has been described as "Americana"...even though they're mostly Canadian. They were Dylan's backup touring band for a while as well. They did some cool albums - Big Pink, Basement Tapes...check em out... the best classic "Americana" for my money.
Check out more of their music. It will amaze you.
This is a style of music they call Americana. And The Band invented it! They are, without doubt, one of the most innovative groups ever. They talk about rabbit-holes, but this one is deep, very deep.
The drummer and one the founders Levon Helm was a legend in Arkansas having lived in the southeast portion of the state. He frequently played music in my hometown of Fayetteville in northwest Arkansas.
Lucky you! Always had a soft spot in my heart for LH.
On my phone I have photo of a sign for The Levon Helm Highway coming out of Helena. I saw sign and had to stop and get photo.
The Band's music is so phenomenally listenable. You can't go wrong with digging deeper into their catalog. Such a talented group that sadly sits outside the echelon of legend that they truly deserved.
I love this type of live, raw, unpolished recording. Sometimes songs can be overproduced and lose their charm. Great choice 🌺✌️
Exactly, I love Rick's raw unpolished sound, his voice even cracks
I listen to the band all the time. Keep on rocking my friend. TX.
One of my favorites from the Band.
This is from the Last Waltz, directed by Martin Scorsese, a must watch! Stage fright is another great Danko song. Love his voice.
This was the farewell concert for The Band who I always thought of as Americana Rock it has so many elements of North American sounds. It must have been a emotional night . So glad it’s in the documentary. No brothers😊
Absolute gold. I hope you get a chance to play many more of their songs.
I was fortunate enough to see these guys at the 2nd Day on the Green and they were awesome. You can't go wrong with The Band.
Unsurpassed - and unsurpassable. A rare example of where a live performance is better than the studio. The movie is a great documentary by a great director (Scorcese) about a great band. I love the version of "Evangeline" that The Band do with Emmylou Harris outwith the concert footage, but it's a great inclusion in the movie.
Robbie wrote this and Rick delivered it.
Their genre is considered "Americana". This song was actually written by the lead guitarist, Robbie Robertson. Check out their first album, "Music From Big Pink"(the color of the house some of them were living in). The drummer, Levon Helm, was the only one from the states (Arkansas). Great song and great reaction.
Nothing short of TREMENDOUS.
My favorite band went to their farewell concert The Last Waltz. The call it Americana. They backed up Dylan when he went electric
OMG!!! You did. Please tell how it was.
I'm an old soul and was just a kid when The Last Waltz played.
My Woodstock Uncle (he went) got me into music very young and I'm blessed.
Seriously if you feel like it please share how the concert was, I watch the movie so many times
The Band blended many American music genres - including gospel, rhythm and blues, and rock and roll
All the songs were written by Robbie Robertson (the guitar player standing next to the lead singer/bass player), but yes, a great, emotional vocal effort by Rick Danko.
That was a bone of contention among the band members later on
Mostly by Levon, but the fact is Robbie wrote the songs, a few songs were co written by Richard Manuel, and Rick wrote "This Wheel is on Fire" with Bob Dylan. If you read Barney Hopkyns biography of The Band, you will find they all made a lot of money. Some spend it on drugs and didn't know how to manage it.@@bergy210
without questions one of the greatest ensemble of musicians to 100% IMO deserve to carry the title "The Band"
someday when you have the time sit down and do yourself a favour and watch The Last Waltz. it's their final show
captured on tape with so many phenomenal musicians it's definitely worth your time to do so.........
Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel & Garth Hudson!
THe Band was a favorite of mine they and the Grateful Dead combined many elements of American Music into their Catalog. Check out their recording of Arcanian Driftwood based on a historical event Great Song, among many great songs they did. They were also the backup band for Bob Dylan for a time.
Fantastic song. Really gets me deep
Bravo Martin Scorsese for directing The Last Waltz documentary about The Band 💎 a true gem with our fantastic Canadian band members & Levon Helm (drums) American. Robbie Robertson is such a gifted musician & song writer Across The Great Divide is sooo special, my very favorite song is The Weight! ‘The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down’ ‘Up On Cripple Creek’ ! Watch The Last Waltz documentary, it really is something to behold 🥰💜🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸🥁🎸😻☮️
Absolutely love The Band!
Check out Bob Dylan and The Band and their history together.
They were Uncle Bob's backing band for quite awhile in the 60's along with their fantastic output in their own right from the late 60's and early to mid 70's.
Fabulous band.
They deserve their place in the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame.
Harri you did them with the Staples doing The Weight. Actually you did them from Woodstock doing the Weight. This is from their farewell concert movie in 1976 The Last Waltz directed by Martin Scorsese.
Great choice Miss Blondie. You can’t go wrong with anything by The Band.☮️
Oh Cynthia you know us two Cynthia's love the same music
Next month "Stage Fright" (I love Rick and he sounds great on that one ssshhh :)
@@missblondie2393 yes we Cynthia‘s have to stick together. Lol Another great choice. So many in The Band have great voices but I think Rick is right up there!
Folk, Rock, Country with their own unmistakable, unique sound: The Band. Check out studio version of Unfaithful Servant on their self-titled album. Also brilliant.
Garth's sax melts me every time. Just so good. 👍
One of the greatest songs of my lifetime!
You are right. This is a mixture of those genres. This is Americana music
Keep in mind, no matter how beautiful a piece of work humans do,.. life sucks and then you die.
love this song....and this concert
Love The Band - just love em!!
Rick Danko is a brilliant singer.
The Last Wall is a masterpiece
I think you've reacted to "The Band" at least once. the song was "The Weight" and was a duet with The Staple Singers. If not, welcome to this great Band's music. They lived and recorded music with Bob Dylan in Upstate New York, in the early 70s, at a house out in the country called "Big Pink." Thousands of hours of Reel-to-Reel recordings of these guys jamming, along with Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Duane Allman of The Allmann Bros. Band etc. Hollywood made a movie about "Big Pink" called "The Last Waltz." Martin Scorsese produced it. He is the famous producer of "The Godfather and many other movies. Check out the "Rock-u-mentary called "The Last Waltz." Its great and features many other artists along with "The Band."
Francis Ford Coppola is famous for The Godfather movies. However Scorsese is also famous for many movies, borh very talented.
RIP Robbie Robertson the lead guitarist who wrote all the songs. Rick Danko is a great singer and perfect singing this. The alto-sax is perfect.
Thanks, Harri, for reminding me of this song again. They were outstanding with of without Bob.
In the day thBand was so great! True on the road musicians!!! Love all of them! They played this way all the time! So glad I was alive when they were awesome! True classic stuff! Love them!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you Harri for your great reaction.
The Band were truly gifted almost each member played multiple instruments and there were three lead singers
Garth who played sax on this song was a masterclass musician on the organ and a few others as well
The Band is a Tier 1 Band and and deserves to be listened to as often as possible.
I'm seeing younger people in their 20s starting to get into them.
Excellent choice! I loved The Band. I was lucky enough to meet Levon.
@@The5thGen OH Wow that's amazing. Was he as down to earth as I always imagined him to be. Actually the whole seemed not full of themselves. Except one ssshhh
Levon was a very genuine guy. No pretense at all. He was the kind of guy that I would like to have as a friend.
@@The5thGen I'm so happy to hear that. It's great when a person who has achieved fame stays their authentic self.
I'm definitely going to request more from The Band. They're my top 3 bands of all time.
🎶✌️🎵
Great reaction!
The Band was doing completely original sound in the late 60's...it would later be called "Americana". Surprised you haven't done them before, you should definitely do more. They featured 3 unique lead singers that mixed so well during harmonies. The lead guitar player wrote a majority of the songs but did not sing, lol, though he appears to be but his vocal mic is off.
Beautiful vocals and guitars. Love The Band. Such a great collaboration. You're right about his vocals, brutally raw. Great reaction Harri. Thanks Harri and Miss Blondie. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Cheers to you Mary my Canadian friend 🥂🇨🇦🇺🇲🎵🎶
@@missblondie2393 Love your selections. 😊👍✌️🇨🇦
@@marybaillie8907 thank you so much, and since you love them you have great taste in music ( I'm so humble 😉) 🎶💜🎵🇨🇦🇺🇲🎶💜
I was blessed to see the Band w/ Dylan AND The Grateful Dead as well as The Band solo. Rick Danko was such an underrated singer, of course when you’re competing with the likes Levon you can forgive that somewhat-but his vocal in The Weight was always my favorite and songs like Stage fright prove how good he was. I miss Rick and Levon. They were both one in a million. ❤️🤘🏼
I was fortunate enough to see them in one of their last concerts in Albany NY. really great!
A nother piece of Music History .... Big hand to this ' The Bannd ' ... Love it forever
Congratulations! They are truly great. Check out the album version. I defy you to walk away from hearing that unchanged.
Don, it was a hard choice however I went with the live.
The album version is next level
This video is from the Martin Scorsese film "The Last Waltz" (1978). It is a Documentary style movie that focuses on the last concert (25 Nov 1976) by "The Band". They are joined on stage by a few of their friends ... Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, Emmylou Harris, Neil Diamond, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Ringo Starr, Dr. John, Van Morrison, and many more. For those that love music this is a must see. It is a snap shot of the musical scene with elements of rock, folk, R&B, pop, country, jazz, and blues performed by some of the best artist of the era.
Saw them backing Dylan in Madison Sq Garden. Great band. If you get the chance watch "The Last Waltz" released in 1978. It was thier final concert 1976. Scorsese directed it. They had a bunch of great guest stars with them. Really well done.
I’ve had a crush on Rick Danko since I was 8 years old ❤️
R.I.P. Rick, Richard Manuel & Levon Helm 😇🕊️
Thursday, November 25th, 1976. Bill Graham catered a thanksgiving dinner for 5,000. I was ten, across the bay in Oakland. Never got to see a show at Winterland, born a few years too late. The last show in that building was Grateful Dead 12-31-78. It stood vacant until late '85 before it was demolished.
