@0:35 when Rick Danko says; "You know what happens when you have too much fun?" It's clear that he speaks from a long history of first hand experience! RIP Rick Danko.
Recorded in '76. Now 40 years on. Her performance has held up perfectly. The awe with which the other players regard her is almost as much fun to watch.
I feel asleep ion the couch - I was watching the movie "the last waltz". When I heard this song-it woke me up. Incredible performance and style she has. What a voice! it amazed me how she can tell a story in a song and sing it with such charisma . It mesmerized me. I had to search on RUclips to hear it again. Wow.
PBS televised "The Last Waltz" as part of their pledge drives. Even after having this show on vinyl and seeing the film before over the years (going on 40! Encroyable!) The cut that I can not listen to enough is "Coyote". I am not sure if the sheer poetry blows me away or if it is her guitar playing! Wonderfully awesome! My respect for Joni is increased again!
Phenomenal! This is my favorite version of the Joni's song! I've actually seen the Band a couple of times, once in Detroit, and another time in upper state New York. I've watched The last Waltz, numerous times and never get tired of the music! I feel fortunate to have grown up with the music of the times.
always ahead of the game flying somewhere way up above the crowd...such class...a true individualist...even here...the only woman headliner in the whole show...
The players all knew her well. I was a teenager in those parts in the mid 70's. The vibe was wonderful, great music in the colleges and clubs everywhere.
I was there. Van Morrison blew the roof off the joint..."Turn it up!" Those kicks.."One more time!"...the place went nuts. VERY tough act to follow. What a night.
I recognize that name, he wrote for lyrics for The Grateful Dead I believe. I remember he was a close friend of John F. Kennedy Jr. and was interviewed when JFK. Jr. died.
Joni is fantastic. And The Band can play any type of music you want. Danko has to fill Jaco's shoes and does an admirable job, while Robbie does some nice licks throughout. Too much.
Privately probing the public rooms And peeking thru keyholes in numbered doors Where the players lick their wounds And take their temporary lovers And their pills and powders to get them thru this passion play
God Almighty was I ever that Young? Shit! Where fid 54 years go? LooseingvFriends ,a lover ,A brother. . AllnyoubyoungvPeople Itsvupbro zyou ,learn from actime when We hadvthe WorldcByvthecTsil and knew it all. But You, Youvdo know It All. Take carevofvYour Now. Its imporysnt. Much love ,"An Old Hippi"! Amen Joni💙🙏✌️
It was not a small feat for The Band to play song already played by such giants as Jaco Pastorius and Pat Metheny. It's a decent performance, the song still sounds great. Joni was really unique.
The comparison definitely survives nicely. Incredibly talented musicians all. Note: Metheny played with Joni on Shadows and Light, in 1980. This version, and the original, were released in 1976.
@@thomaskline We don't dis them, on contrary. The Band was really great band, talented musicians, not virtuoso players (except Hudson). And they knew how to play this.
And every note she sings is perfect. And every phrase is perfectly timed. But no one else can sing those notes. And no one else can sing those phrases. What planet was she from?
Never saw this before...I guess its time to burn all my Dylan and The Band albums...not to mention all the song Levon wrote and played on..I hope you will TOO!!!! Lets go full tilt here....I mean how the hell can they so nonchalantly talk about abuse of women while standing infront of a Rebel flag!! Have they not even considered the meaning of that flag? No excuses right?
Typical snowflake revisionist. Robbie has talked numerous times about what "The Night They Drove Ol Dixie Down" is about. And the Confederate flag is just a symbol of Southern pride, it wasn't even the official flag of The Confederacy.
There's only one Joni Mitchell ❤
Watching this just gave me Canadian Goose bumps.

The whole performance gives me goosebumps - all the way through.

Of course
Dam straight
She takes you right there with her....the coyote and all his antics....

What a voice! it amazed me how she can tell a story in a song and sing it with such charisma . It mesmerized me. I had to search on RUclips to hear it again. Wow.
It's such an unconventional song - I'm amazed The Band just nailed the accompaniment.
A golden song and a diamond performance. What an artist! My God!
Still in love with her 50 years on. How beautiful, what a voice, lyrics to die for. All hail Joni!
The SOUND on this is SO GOOD!
Thank you!
🙏🏽🌹🙏🏻
I love the way she touches Robbie's face and kisses him at the start.
Who wouldn't😂
Joni , pure class, nothing to match her since.

who do you love and helpless are also contenders for top track off the cut
One of my 'ALL TIME' favourite songs.
'Coyote' is Sam Shepard the playwright and actor with whom she had a fling in the early 70's. She says it, so I'm not just making it up.

I was surprised to find no comments here,
'til i realised - I couldn't find any words myself..
auch Joni Mitchel war eine großartige Sängerin
Outstanding song and performance
The genius of Joni M.
Joni Beautiful and brilliant.
Look at Rick Danko face looking at Joni Mitchell
Was gonna say its better than the original but I just check and nah, the original is pure magic. This is also incredible.
always ahead of the game flying somewhere way up above the crowd...such class...a true individualist...even here...the only woman headliner in the whole show...
She is great ☺️
you were beautiful joni
I can see how several LA rockers went nuts for her. That moment at 3:55 is very cool.
Lord have mercy !!!
Just awesome ,LOVE it 🎸🎵🎸🎶😊
This is just immaculate..
The players all knew her well. I was a teenager in those parts in the mid 70's. The vibe was wonderful, great music in the colleges and clubs everywhere.
Danko is sublime.
Few singer/songwriters in her class.
None.
And Rick knew how to have fun. Love him.
She had the voice of an angel
Very hard to not fall in love with her
yeah boys you are the best band
She's the best act in the whole show.
yeah the rest of the musicians kind of ruin this song.
versus the BAND? SHE is the BEST? YIKES!
darn, just listened...I'm a huge BAND fan but you're right...she's amazing on this one!
I respect your opinion. But personally, I like muddy Waters "rolling Stone"
I was there. Van Morrison blew the roof off the joint..."Turn it up!" Those kicks.."One more time!"...the place went nuts. VERY tough act to follow. What a night.
Good stuff.
The Bass is everything
a queen.
See Joni with Jaco and Pat 🔥
@greed & don’t sleep on Don Alias’s (r.i.p.) brilliant percussion on that version.
Classic ... wonderful Joni ..... Ratty is in Love
I just want to break even !!
Why did you have to get so drunk and lead me on that way... :-)
Prisoner of the white lines...
What can you say?Just great.
Music of my life.
amazing
My reel dad give me freedom, good & solid Italian manners, a law firm and a jazz legacy to defend
I like how she kisses Rick Danko on the lips before she plays! Free love baby!!
I think it was Robbie
Different circles but I always think of John Perry Barlow when I hear this song.
I recognize that name, he wrote for lyrics for The Grateful Dead I believe. I remember he was a close friend of John F. Kennedy Jr. and was interviewed when JFK. Jr. died.
YOU WERE BEAUTIFUL JONI AND I AM IN LOVE WITH BOB DYLAN YES
Prairie gold.

yes joni
Privately probing the public rooms
And peeking thru keyholes in numbered doors
Where the players lick their wounds
And take their temporary lovers
And their pills and powders to get them thru this passion play
Pure class
Flabbergasted
I am off the opinion, that it's Rick who was the cayote 🎶🎶
yeah joni
' can you name all here, pls? 🙏

Can't top it

Do not dis a great band that has sold exponentially more records than Metheny and Pastorious combined. Not to dis those guys, but!

Plenty of singers can manage the notes and phrases.
He smelled your goodness!!
Probably the best song written in the 1970s, and that's with all of immaculate Dylan's divorce songs considered.
my nickname in college was coyote colorado
Rivetting performance...
I seem to think this is joni"s drummer
The finer French Stuff
Who did jodi marry? Or did she ?
confederate flag in the back what does that mean, where's Bob?
I am a coyote..
Good for you

We both prefer Tarentellas
Wow I am surprised how much I can't stand this. Huh.
they are so wasted
