Bravo! As a huge Garth Hudson fan, I couldn’t agree more. Augmented early on with Danko on Trombone and John Simon (producer of their first two albums) on Sax.
I'd love to have seen these guys in concert. This is just fabulous! Garth's sax and Rick's boogie, Robbies licks and Levon's cracks. Then Richard's lead and piano. This was one great Band.
+HaFannyHa One of the best. Everything was on such a high level of proficiency with them; their playing (each could competently play two instruments), the singing and songwriting, but mostly the songs and how they were interpreted and presented by five guys.
I just finished Robbie's book Testimony. He writes about flying into Madison Wisconsin (I spend a lot of time there, my exhusband grew up in Madison) in a snowstorm, and how the plane almost crashed. He said after that he played like it was the last time he would play, and I assume the other Band members too.@@thomaspick4123
Robbie wrote about one concert the did in Madison, they were flying in when there were a severe snowstorm, and the plane was bouncing up and down, the all had clenched teeth and prayed (at least Robbie did) the landed okay, but the plane skidde on the runway. Robbie wrote he and the guys played that night like it was the last concert they would play, wondering if that if when you saw them. By the way I have spend a fair amount of time in Madison, my ex husband grew up there.@@thomaspick4123
If anything, The Band may be the most-all-around talented band that was ever looked together. Levon played mandolin and guitar, Rick played fiddle. Richard played drums and guitar and Garth played about everything else under the sun. Their musicship (if that's a word) is what makes them legendary
Buy the box set The Band Musical History for many fine unreleased recordings and the dvd with great live performances including these 2 tracks from the 1974 Wembley show. When Rick is bopping, the Band is rolling!
Sorry, yea I was totally only referring to this specific concert... he def hits those falsetto neck-hair-raising notes in many a Band song, but in this case, his voice shrivels up every time he tries. P.S. My favorite falsetto vocal of Richard's is if you've ever seen The Band's Classic Albums DVD, Levon and John Simon are in the studio separating the vocals in "Rockin Chair," and you hear Richard's voice bounce from tonic to falsetto for the verse to chorus...it's really breath-taking.
This was a show that featured the reunion tour of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. It was held at Wembly stadium and included Jesse Coling Young opening, followed by The Band, then Joni Mitchell with CSNY headlining. September 14, 1974.
Love The Band, all of them, but especially Rick and Robbie, not a fan of flared jeans, and yes I'm of that generation, however, both Rick and Robbie were so good looking, I'm not going to let their fashion choice get in the way.
I love that opening jam. I imagine that's something like they might have sounded like when they were still with Ronnie. Would've loved to have seen them in some of the little clubs in Ontario.
I was there.....the lead band was CSN&Y.....Jesse Colin Young started out, then Joni Mitchell and the LA Express, then The Band, all undercards to main event....The Band blew me away.....was about 30 feet from stage....earlier, Robert Plant walked across our blanket in the crowd, George Harrison was visible side stage. All started early in day, I was hungry and someone gave me a rutabaga sandwich, I wolfed it down.
Read Levon's book - "Wheels on Fire". In it he talks about how hard Richard used to pound the keys so hard that hammers would actually go flying out all the time. Fun! God bless Beak and Lavon and Ricky. What's Garth up to lately? Best band of all time - no question.
im not stepping on toes but just remember what these people are known for. their talent not their personalities or lifestyle. i feel the new age brings people to want to like their heroes which is understandable but nowadays its more accessible and most geniuses are in certain ways not sociable or have morals like us theyre human remember we can't do the things they do or we would be them i feel we should love them for what they did to make us love them quit digging it aint a garden.
@jazzkid66 I was at the show! Which also featured CSNY, Joni Mitchell b/w Tom Scott & The LA Express, all of them playing red hot. Best show I ever saw! And I saw a lot of shows.
@Foo1232 I find that very hard to believe that they are underrated because they have like touched the hearts of like pretty much every rock legend throughout that era and STILL today many many new musicians share inspiration from them and some copy their songs especially The Weight but I do appreciate your comment anyway because they are like THE BEST!! ROCK ON!!
this is the sort of thing that often you click on it and the sound is crap. Pleasantly surprised here - it's very good. The performance is terrific, of course.
The Band was sounding amazing as always compliments and hats off but what was up with the crowd standing so far back? Were they planning to play a football game with one end zone the crowd and the other Danko's bass?
When you remember that 8 years earlier the London audience tried to boo them off the stage when they backed Dylan, you gotta know The Band was as cutting edge and influential as any of the British groups
RIchard's voice is amazing in that lower growling register, but it's a shame he couldn't hit a single one of those high falsetto notes.... a testament to the shape he was in I guess. Still my favorite white male vocalist of all time.
JamesADempsey, what a truly insightful observation...someone should ask Robbie about that? And before anyone says anything, I'm not a Robbie basher, individually they were musicians, together they were "the BAND"...
The Band supported Crosby Stills Nash and Neil Young.Also on the bill was Joni Mitchell and the LA Express.The show began with ex Youngbloods Jesse Colin Young. I remember specifically tearing my velvet flared pants as I climbed over a barrier. The CSNY set is on a DVD somewhere in my collection .I'd love to see again the band's whole se. It was September 1974 ..and the sun shone.....
@sunriseRISE I am probably one of the biggest Band fans on YT; I saw them 3 times in '74; they were awesome; saw Levon this year..awesome again; I know their songs; their history; and I DO know they were one of the best rock bands to ever have graced a stage. Why would singers such as Jim James be part of a tribute album? Why would Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan say that The Band were the most versatile/talented musicians? I agree; this is not their best work. Vocals/blend off? Robs mic on?
This was part of the CSNY Reunion (or the "Doom Tour") of 1974, The Band and Joni Mitchell opened up for CSNY on this tour. Pretty solid performance from The Band, but like CSNY, they had to play so loud that the vocals were often too quiet to get out clearly. Got the rest of the set?
Well, they kind of did it to themselves. Huge fan here, but facts are facts. Danko got into a horrible car accident that by all rights should’ve killed him right after Big Pink was released. He ended up knocked out of action for months and was left with a lifelong opiate addiction that eventually contributed to his early death. After they became more popular, Richard’s drinking/drug issues became problematic for touring. Levon and Rick also had drug habits. They should’ve been the best in the world, but drugs derailed them. That’s not my opinion. That’s the opinion of one Ronald Cornett Hawkins. I agree with The Hawk.
That is pretty much what Robbie describes in his book Testimony. However, they had a good run. I first heard them in 1969 when as a 24 year old Danish girl living in New York City, I have been a fan ever since. The first song that first caught my attention was "Up on Cripple Creek". Since reading Robbies book (I was almost done when I heard he passed away) have renewed my interest. I watched The Last Waltz, I listen to some songs I forgot about "It makes no difference" make me take notice of Rick Danko and his emotional singing. However, it is true drugs got in the way, Robbie did drugs as well, but he seem to be able to control it and thus he emerged as the leader, I think he had more vision than the other guys, and was perhaps more ambitious and business oriented.@@robertbruce6865
I'll join ya. My parents used to see them play when they touring the dancehalls around Ontario ( hometown of Port Dover specifically) and my wife's dad grew up in Toronto watching em tear up Yonge St. Born too late.
Listen to any direct feed FOH bootleg there is from 1969 to 1976 he is audible in every one of them, so his mic was never off. It's just one of many untrue tales told by his old pal Levon Helm in his book.
Happy days indeed...although i didn't find security tight at all and got down on the pitch, into the football dressing rooms at the other end of the pitch, into the royal box and best of all backstage when CSNY were coming out to go on stage..David Crosby said "excuse me" and Neil Young passed behind me!!

The Band had a great horn section. It was also known as "Garth Hudson."
ALL MUSICIANS ARE EXCELLENT
THEY ARE....
THE BAND ¡¡¡¡
@@roalziroalzi oh ya great remark
Lol, 😉
-Love one fan, too another 😃
🤣
Bravo! As a huge Garth Hudson fan, I couldn’t agree more.
Augmented early on with Danko on Trombone and John Simon (producer of their first two albums) on Sax.
Rick Danko has one of the coolest voices in music!
Yeppers
Richard Manuel has one of the coolest falsettos I've ever heard.
richard manuel . .. . . what a great singer.
I'd love to have seen these guys in concert. This is just fabulous! Garth's sax and Rick's boogie, Robbies licks and Levon's cracks. Then Richard's lead and piano. This was one great Band.

I saw them in Madison, Wisconsin. They put on a great show. 2 sets, at the release of the Cahoots album. Superb!

This was "The Band"
Garth was just a monster, on about anything he played , This is what music should sound like .
Hudson is musical genius.
If anything, The Band may be the most-all-around talented band that was ever looked together. Levon played mandolin and guitar, Rick played fiddle. Richard played drums and guitar and Garth played about everything else under the sun. Their musicship (if that's a word) is what makes them legendary
Don’t forget Levon also played drums
Musicianship...but you were damned close.
And correct.
“ Levon could play anything he could hold”….. John Simon. I think between the 5 of 7:09 them they played more than 20 instruments
But don’t forget Robbie. He wrote the music!
Still got relevance in todays music allof them terrific musicians.
“Just another whistle stop and you don’t quit ‘til you reach the top.. “ 💚💙💚💙💚💛♥️
I saw them that same year.... January 1974 with Dylan. My favorite all-time concert.
Lucky!
I was at the forum in 74 with the band and dylan. I have the live recording from that concert, after the flood
Wow. That was a powerful jam. r.i.p robbie.
Buy the box set The Band Musical History for many fine unreleased recordings and the dvd with great live performances including these 2 tracks from the 1974 Wembley show. When Rick is bopping, the Band is rolling!
It's 5* along the shores of Lake Erie tonight, this tune can warm the soul. Hail Hail, Rock & Roll!
+Buckeyelargo Yep !
don't matter how you guys cut it...they were good...REAL GOOD!!!!

I'd forgotten this song. Fantastic! Richard, Rick and Levon are sorely missed - real musicians; real rock and roll.

the Band AND Joni Mitchell on the same bill. About as good as you can ask for.
wow ya .amen brother follow this ??????? haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa nobody could. maybe LED ZEPPELIN.
follow theBand on stage that is
cool. was wondering who else was on the bill
pac401
Wow bet that show was freaking awesome
Love the flairs on Rick & Robbie. Gotta love the 70s!
Love The Band, all of them, but especially Rick and Robbie, not a fan of flared jeans, and yes I'm of that generation, however, both Rick and Robbie were so good looking, I'm not going to let their fashion choice get in the way.
I did many times, actually shared the stage with him several times, and he's right, Roy was unbelievable.
best Canadian band ever
can never get enough of this performance.
Great musicians at the top of their game!
The greatest band ever no doubt
Long live THE BAND!
sorry it's all dead
@@ericdufour2479 he means spiritually.
Truly the best of all time.
what a tight groove, Levon's shuffle is unbeatable
It's, like, PRECISION. It's what makes a good band GREAT!!!
Danko layin' it down..
AWESOMENESS...
Immortal the band 🎼🔝❤️😊
I love that opening jam. I imagine that's something like they might have sounded like when they were still with Ronnie. Would've loved to have seen them in some of the little clubs in Ontario.
There were the best!!! Great clip!!!!
Thank You!
Awesome X 10 one of my favorite groups!!!

Awesome Group Just Amazing!
We Band fans all loved Levon...May god rec his soul!
Great playing by Garth! Saw them in 1974, and seem to recall them opening with Mystery Train & Garth on sax. He's a terrific rock&roll sax player!
This is a fantastic performance anyway, but who else LOVES watching Rick dance around??
thanks for the wonderful tunes mr.helm, may your soul rest in peace :)
That was amazing!¡! Thank God for You Tube. Great Sax.......
f#!kin wow ,,tears in my eyes. what a f#!king performance.
é lindo demais!
DAMN, this is awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I saw them in Cleveland this same year ( tour ) Labor day weekend at the municipal stadium. 88,000+ people jammed in there.
@Foo1232 I find that very hard to believe that they are underrated because they have like touched the hearts of like pretty much every rock legend throughout that era and STILL today many many new musicians share inspiration from them and some copy their songs especially The Weight but I do appreciate your comment anyway because they are like THE BEST!! ROCK ON!!
thanks for posting this video I like it,Joanne
thanks Levon!
Garth.very talented.
great sax
this is the sort of thing that often you click on it and the sound is crap. Pleasantly surprised here - it's very good. The performance is terrific, of course.
Para acabar pronto...Robbie is un SUPER CREATIVO & one of the 10 greatest guitarristas de ROCK.....
What a great intro to this song from Stage Freight. And I wonder what kind of mouthpiece Garth is playing. Is it an Otto Link?
This = real music.
this is awesome!!!!!!!!!
I read that Garth Hudson used to go to pawn shops to look for old saxophones and various mouthpieces, wonder if thats one of them.
Love when they show richard pounding those keys!!Looks like hes trying to break the damn thing
The Band was sounding amazing as always compliments and hats off but what was up with the crowd standing so far back? Were they planning to play a football game with one end zone the crowd and the other Danko's bass?
GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
When you remember that 8 years earlier the London audience tried to boo them off the stage when they backed Dylan, you gotta know The Band was as cutting edge and influential as any of the British groups
Excellent
When they're sound checking Garth's mic, you hear someone (Rick maybe?) say "Too loud", then it gets louder. Awesome
RIchard's voice is amazing in that lower growling register, but it's a shame he couldn't hit a single one of those high falsetto notes.... a testament to the shape he was in I guess. Still my favorite white male vocalist of all time.
Mine, too. I want I Shall Be Released played at whatever memorial service I have.
Great

It was September 1974 ..and the sun shone.....
WOW! Much obliged, my brother!
This must have been their opening number for that tour. I saw them at Capital Centre in DC that September and they opened that show with this tune.
i did, and with the band on the same bill also Hot Tuna! good times.
Garth playing some amazing lines on that saxophone!
Always loved Ricks animation.
Funny to see Robbie in all these clips singing in to a mic, but never hearing his voice. I know all these guys voices, Robbie's mic is off..
Actually that tiny little moment he's singing close to the mic, he's clearly audible.
he's never worn contacts in his life. in fact he still wears glasses to this day.
You read my mind.
I was there in '74
Garth Hudson definitely earned his title the professor!!
I was there.

just left stage Cleveland show august 74 . jesse colin young, carlos Santana, csny, the band
I would have loved to meet Rick Danko.
That's just a glimpse at what it was like when richard got going
anymore of this amazing concert on youtube? thanks for uploading
I am also happy too see there are people like ADreamAbove in the world. Sensible people I mean.

good ol' levon driving that song.
I've always been a big Ledzep and Beatles fan, but these guys just seem more "real". Too bad they weren't promoted more back in the day
They had their niche, though, especially among critics. The first pop group on the cover of Time! Musicians' musicians.
I never noticed that they needed much promotion. I heard about Music from Big Pink in 1968 when a friend brought it over. It caught on right away.
Well, they kind of did it to themselves. Huge fan here, but facts are facts.
Danko got into a horrible car accident that by all rights should’ve killed him right after Big Pink was released. He ended up knocked out of action for months and was left with a lifelong opiate addiction that eventually contributed to his early death.

Love this song. But I wonder who wrote the intro to "whistle stop".
Gotta love us Canadian people .
Alright Richie!!
Where is the full concert? T.T This is fantastic!
I was at this concert, Joni Mitchell stole the show
Joni Mitchell?
When time travel starts I'll be heading back to Toronto lookin for the Band at Concorde tavern.
I'll join ya. My parents used to see them play when they touring the dancehalls around Ontario ( hometown of Port Dover specifically) and my wife's dad grew up in Toronto watching em tear up Yonge St. Born too late.
To those who are commenting about Robbie's mic being off, his mic was ALWAYS off.
