Randy Ciarlante of The Band and The Weight opens his Vault! "Got Me A Woman" Levon Helm, Jim Weider, Randy Ciarlante and Stan Szelest King Biscuit Blues Festival 1989
Miss Levon, Rick and Richard. The Band was soooo good. Knowing their story is unfortunate but together or alone they gave us some of the best rock music
I had money to go to a Band show at the Flood Zone in Richmond but I would have had to weather a,pouring rain to wait for a bus to get there one of my life's greatest regrets!!!
I'm a musician...and met levon ...don't remember what year at the lone star cafe in manhatten...he was with rick danko and they'd played there the night before. forever after that night, whenever they'd play some sort of festival in the summertime...they'd ask the promotor to put me on the bill. bless. i'll always love and miss them both....i'm with YOU absolutely the best! ps...i got kisses too. and stuff up my nose. dammmmmmm.
ya seem kinda tense Mr. Branham. He's holding up one finger to indicate that the song is on the root chord, and a four or five to indicate that the song is on the fourth or fifth chord. So if the song is in the key of G, it's the 1 and C is the 4 (four notes away) and D is the 5 (5 notes away). He doesn't actually have to be playing an instrument but he knows the song and some of the band does not, so he's telling them what chord is being played.
mrsweettater All they have to know is the key...if they understand how keys work then they shouldn't have to be told what the root is or any of the notes in it or in what order they come in that particular key. If anything he's trying to show the drummer the time signature he wants to do it in ...which would make sense I guess because I don't believe the Waylon Jennings version is quite that fast and being that it's the original it was probably what they were familiar with.
So how long have you been playing? All the bands I've played in indicate the chords as 1, 4 and 5 or whatever chord they're doing. It's like musical short hand. Maybe we're just all wrong.
mrsweettater I'm not particularly advanced in theory but I know enough to get by. That's kind of theory 101 though so its more than likely the first thing you're going to learn...or at least it should be. If you know the fretboard and know the notes that make up each chord ...then you already know most of what you need to know about keys. It's why keys are so useful to understand."..you won't need to even bother communicating the names of the individual notes or the order in which they fall. Super useful and time conserving. Honestly though I don't think he was doing anything...it appears he's just dancing with his hands so to speak if that makes any sense lol.
i saw Levon in knoxville,tn(usa) in 2008 on my birthday. what an awesome gift,one hell of a show. Levon was very talented and so was his band. kudos 2 such wonderful musicians.
@@georgehays5857 Hey George! Hanging in there. I hope you are well, too. I've got some great black and white film footage of this performance. Miss Levon every day.

Love the way he holds up his fingers for the chords. You can always learn somethin' from Levon!!!
And seems to be trying to get them to speed it up a little
Nashville number system

WE MEET LEVON IN WOODSTOCK AND HE WAS SO NICE TO US WE ARE SO BLESSED
Levon, the best sing drummer!
Levon, Helm, Of The Band
I like the way he's holding up his fingers, telling the band what chord he's on. one, four and five.
That's because he is a drummer ..

Last time I saw Lavon was at Nick's Cafe in Helena in 1963.
Love Levon ❤️❤️❤️
The more he sings it, the better I like it. A Very catchy and fun song. He is a great entertainer.
Such an unselfish musician.
YES!!!
The best. I wish we had the video of the whole show!
He could make simple songs like this sound really interesting.
Great actor
Thanks Levon. I needed that!
what a beauty
He seems so totally relaxed. There's nothing pretentious about him.
calling out the chords, priceless
Nothing gonna in the world gonna make me treat that woman mean....she changed my beer and she keeps my tractor clean!
"Changed my beer...."..."CHANGED MY BEER???"..Lord help y'all...!
+Slapsy Maxsy as wrong as that lyric is, I Love it.
LOL, yes, I think normaly it's " she shaves my beard " but "changed my beer" is even better ;-) .
LOL too much time in the front row dave 😂

Classic💕💕💕
This gentleman passed too soon..

"She lives with a monkey and a Chinese acrobat". That's a line I'll never forget. ;o) Love Levon.

He was such a good,laid back dude onstage.
yep

Mr. Roach Steve?
Ciao bello , grazie
Bravo!
You can take the boy out of Arkansas. But, you can't take the Arkansas out of the boy.
That's so right. I miss him so much
That's what bill Clinton says lol
Interesting to see his reaction while someone else plays the drums while he sings.
Handsome devil 🥰
Is there any more of this festival out there
Man chases woman until she catches him.
He should have acted in the movies when he was this young and goddamn handsome; might have been one up on many guys like Robert Redford or Paul Newman
Coal Miners Daughter ring a bell?
I am a big fan! But you are getting carried away
What Susan means to tell you it Levon played Ted Webb in Coal Miners Daughter. He has 20 movie credits... go to IMDB and look him up.
Anyone wonder who and what that man is whispering in Levon's ear?! 😄
Buck Dollar!
Hi Jay, You had a bit to do with Buck Dollar as I recall. I was the Biscuit festival director. Hope you are well!

@@georgehays5857 I had not watched this in a long time - I think that might be me who comes in at the very end to talk to LH.
I don't think he knew a stranger
Lol backwards harmonica lol
