    The Band was incredible. This is from their final concert before they disbanded. Martin Scorsese filmed the concert and made it into the movie, The Last Waltz. It's probably the best concert movie ever. They had an incredible line up of friends joining them on stage to say farewell including The Staple Singers, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and more. The Band was extremely influential and considered one of the greatest rock bands ever. Definitely check out King Harvest (Has Surely Come), their funkiest song, and Chest Fever, with amazing organ from Garth Hudson. The Band is absolutely one of the best!

      The videography of the Staples was some of the best, if not the best, I have ever seen! How euphoric, but then again one would expect something like this when Martin Scorsese is involved. What a callaboration of these two bands, so, so, so good!

    One of my absolute favorite songs of all time. Just can't get enough of The Band. The drummer Levon Helm is one of greatest singers-drummers of all time. The band is actually from Canada other than Levon. He's from Arkansas. The Staples just brings in more power and emotion from this concert. Check out the Playing For Change video version where artists from all around the world link up. You should do a deep dive into The Band with "The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down", "Up On Cripple Creek", and many others. You won't be disappointed.

When the Staple Singers came out, the immediately recognized my friend and came over to chat. I must've been in shock since I barely remember what happened. This kid was only 19 and knew lots of well known people. He wasn't just bragging or telling tall tales.

The drummer Levon Helm was actually the only American in the group with all the other members being from Canada. They played for years backing Ronnie Hawkins and then were Bob Dylans band for several years. Everyone simply referred to the members as "The Band" .........you HAVE to watch The Last Waltz. It is like an audible and visual history of American music.

    I remember I was about 14 in 19971 walking around the Haight Ashbury humming the chorus of this song. I didn't know the title until 2000. I love this song especially with the combination of talent both the Band and the Staple Singers.

    9 people in this video and only 3 are still alive - guitarist Robbie Robertson 79 y/o, keyboard/sax player Garth Hudson 85 y/o (barely shown in the video, he is on the far, far left) and one of the Staple sisters - Mavis 83 y/o. The amazing thing is that all 3 of them still perform (but not together).

    The Band is one of the all time greats, and Mavis Staples is a national treasure

    the song is about a trip to nazareth, pennsylvania, the home of martin guitars. the staples (also known as the staple singers) were indeed a separate band, who did such songs as 'respect yourself' and 'i'll take you there'.

    A song that's irresistible, to sing along to. This is a call, to share The Weight, by joining with others...a call, for collaboration. It's a fantastic collaboration, so they're leading, by example.
    The people, who were inspired by Jack Kerouac, to go out, "On The Road", searching for truth, beyond the white picket fences (that may represent wedges between people), had found that there's a lot of emotion, tied to leaving loved ones behind; and then there's the journey, with its pitfalls, basically a rollercoaster of unknown outcomes. Through, facing hurdles, with others who were on their path, they learn valuable lessons, of an experiential nature.
    (i.e. Though one may have resiliency, in an individual reservoir, when we join with others, there can be more momentum, and inspiration, and sense of purpose, and belonging, due to feedback).
    In the end, the ride of unknowns, feeds a longing to return to solace, and realization, that it's time for a restoration.
    That's my take, on this song, at least.
    The Staples were singing Gospel, and Soul, and the whole country needed, that deep down healing.
    The Oscar Winning Documentary of the year, "Summer Of Soul", from Director Questlove, of The Roots fame, features a bit of The Staples. Mavis Staples, singing alongside Mahalia Jackson, is not only a piece of music history, it is a piece of the human story. Mavis, literally, takes the load.
    I think, it's a shining example, of what humans can do for each other, when they respond with empathy.
    We're all entangled, so it's in our interest, to keep all boats above water.
    Forward, Humanity!
    Forward!
