That video is from Martin Scorsese's documentary "The Last Waltz" which is fabulous. Every song, every guest singer, from Van Morrison to the Staple Singers are solid. A must watch for anyone who loves the history of America music 🔥
What a concert!!
Amazing concert and amazing movie. I saw it years ago in a theater. I would say it’s a must watch for RSR.
You need to react to the entire movie. The musical sections are uniformly, phenomenal and the interview sections are equal parts informative and hilarious.
I just got the Criterion edition, it is a great watch.
The Last Waltz is fantastic! Have on DVD, but saw on big screen a few years ago. Love!!
Rick Danko was such a lovely, tragic soul. His eponymous solo album is brilliant as well.
His life after the band broke up is very sad...
@jasonremy1627 think I'm his life during thr band was also pretty sad.
@@lisamcphee8923 I don't think so. He loved music, he was a gentle soul. Unfortunately he got into heroin along with Richard and Levon. I read Robbie's book Testimony and Barney Hoskyns Across the Great divide, a biography of The Band. RIck's life was not all sadness. Richard more so, he struggled with heroin, cocaine and alcohol.
@hannejeppesen1809 it's perfectly fine to disagree. I, too, have read the great divide, but you cannot watch the last waltz without seeing how fractured they all were. One can only imagine the debauchery & fights that went on. Seems to me Rick thought the party would never end and when he realised it had, he had nothing much to show for it but the memories. Good & bad.
"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" and "Up On Cripple Creek", are great to listen. Robbie Robertson writes some amazing material with passion and meaning. His SOLO later on was :Somewhere Down the Crazy River: A moody, southern blues epic song. cheers from the west coast, way up north
Yes!
Sorry but that was the name of a song on his album "Showdown at Big Sky" GREAT ALBUM
Crazy river!!!
I love Robbie Robertson, and somewhere down the crazy river is one of my all time favorites! It's been a long time, thanks for reminding me 😊
I 2nd The Nite They Drove Old Dixie Down!
Rick Danko sure turned on the heart ache on this one. A great singer in his own right. Great song too 👌
The raw emotion in Rick Danko's lead vocal is heartbreakingly beautiful. The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down is my recommendation as the next Band track for you guys! 🎶
agreed!
And then “Stage Fright”.
Rick sings it like he lived it.
if they ever have a movie about the Band they need Joaquin Phoenix to play Rick.
And Rick’s voice cracks just enough to let you know he's absolutely genuine in every word he sings.
Garth Hudson played the sax solo. Fantastic musician. He's mostly on keyboards with The Band & in the background, but when you listen to The Band's songs, he adds so much to their sound. He just turned 85 years of age on Aug 2.
Happy birthday @Garth Hudson.
Every member of the Band plays really distinctively - you can pick out Levon's drums, Robbie's guitar, Rick's bass, and Richard's piano (and drums for that matter) anywhere, any time. But for all that unique and special musicality, it's Garth that brings the secret sauce tying it all together into that sound that is the Band.
That final note ...... it's enough to bring a grown man to tears.
I've heard Garth described (accurately) as "The Band's secret weapon."
The Last Waltz is an iconic film. When Bob Dylan shocked everyone and went electric, these were the guys on stage with him. Historic.
@David Bradley Right you are, they were not at Newport in July of 65. Robertson joined Dylan for the next two gigs after Newport, and then they added the rest of the Hawks when they started the US tour in Sept. Thanks for the correction.
@@greggp5188 And then I think they (the Hawks) did the first England tour with Dylan, right?
Jay & Amber, you'll love their “Up on Cripple Creek”!!
edit - "It Makes No Difference" had Rick Danko on lead vocals, bass guitar.
Amber nailed it - it's not they are trying to do it/or to be perfect.... they just are. these 5 musicians are "Americana" personified.
The Band is a gift and a treasure for eternity.
LOVE you guys!
Four of them are gritty Canadians...as info.
@@davidpost428 - was not speaking of their nationality or lineage.... as info - "Americana" is a term describing the type of music that they played - a conflux/amalgam/blending of folk, blues, country & blue grass, R&B and rock; a perfect example from current artists would be Mumford & Sons.
More like "Canadiana" personified.
@@gvbezoff - once again, not their nationality but their unique & exquisite blending of different genres into what is referred to as "Americana'
The Band shared lead vocals. Rick Danko, bass guitar, is singing here. Levon Helm, drummer & Richard Manual, piano also sang lead. Garth Hudson was on the horn. The guitarist, Robbie Robertson, wrote this song & many of their hits. All the members played a variety of instruments.
Robby Robertson claimed he wrote this amd many of their hits. Fuck him. Richard Manuel died broke because of Robbie Robertson and how he screwed the entire group.
Doesn't Robbie Robertson sing as well?
@@brenthenderson3983 He never sang lead with The Band; just harmony / backup. Though, as his solo work shows, it's not because he couldn't.
@@keithosmond5730 Though he mimes throughout The Last Waltz.
@@ToeAndno I remember seeing an interview with The Band after Robertson left, one of the guys laughed & said they just kept his voice microphone unplugged - the rest of the members just laughed.
I have always admired how authentic their sound is. As always, you guys got it just right. Sometimes imperfection is more human.
Nice call
“Whispering Pines,” with Richard Manual on lead vocal, is another poignant masterpiece from The Band.
I love The Band so much. So many great songs. You should definitely hear "Up On Cripple Creek", "Chest Fever", "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", "Stage Fright", "The Shape I'm In", "King Harvest (Has Surely Come)", "Ophelia", "Acadian Driftwood" ... I could go on an on. Robbie Robertson is one of the most amazing songwriters ever. You love story songs, so this is definitely a rabbit hole to follow.
I like to add the song "Daniel and the Sacred Harp" to your list.
Or “Whispering Pines,” “Lonesome Suzie,” “Look Out Cleveland,” “The Unfaithful Servant,” The Rumor,” “4% Pantomime,” “Rockin’ Chair” -- did The Band ever record a bad song?
💯
Ok, movie suggestion! 'The Last Waltz'. It's the story of the Band's farewell concert. It's absolutely fabulous.
Absolutely should be reacted to! But it would be near impossible to release on RUclips. A Patreon exclusive
They seem to be actively avoiding the "music" movies, probably due to so much music in a row? I agree on The Last Waltz and still think Purple Rain should have been their first movie reaction.
My favorite Band ever!!! This is a great song, he sings it from his heart ❤️The great Robbie Robertson on guitar!
The Band is in the top tier of my musical favorites. They were perfect, plain and simple. They had *three* top notch lead singers: bassist Rick Danko (who sings this one), drummer Levon Helm and pianist Richard Manuel, whose vocals are reminiscent of Ray Charles at times. Guitarist Robbie Robertson didn't sing lead, but wrote most of their wonderful songs. Multi-instrumentalist Garth Hudson added amazing colors to the sound. Amber is right on the money: Their harmonies aren't "pretty," but they are absolutely perfect. One of the finest bands of the rock era.
Agree. Great summary of this fabulous group! And props to the late, great Ronnie Hawkins for putting them together.
Rick Danko on the vocals in this one. They had 3 amazing lead singers.
You've heard Levon Helm (The Weight) and Rick Danko (It Makes No Difference) but The Band had a THIRD lead singer in Richard Manuel😎 Check out "The Shape I'm In" off the Rock of Ages album!! Richard was awesome and it's definitely one over The Bands finest songs
Rick Danko brings so much honest emotion to this vocal. That's what makes it so beautiful, and it's why we connect to it. Makes me cry.
that whole concert is iconic, so many great guest appearances, Clapton. Dylan Joni, Neil, Van ......
Don’t forget Dr. John and Ronnie Hawkins.
@@Wordsmyth8 I know right, just a who's who of legend after legend
The Band were one of the finest collections of musicians ever to come together. Love them
Arcadian Driftwood is another Band song that’s always been one of my favorites. ♥️
They were musician's musicians. Sadly, Rick, Levon, and Richard have passed on
Garth Hudson, the man on the Sax, plays many instruments and, although he does not sing, he is responsible for creating the unique Sound of The Band.
He was also known as "The archivist of The Legendary Basement Tapes". The big box set of the Bob Dylan/The Band "Basement Tapes" CD's only exist because of Garth's decades long loving care of those recordings.
Garth and Robbie are the only two members of the original Band still with us.
Garth Hudson absolutely melts me with that sax every time. Just beautiful.
I have a suggestion that seems to get overlooked. “Chest Fever”. It opens with a masterful organ performance by Garth. It’s one my favorites by them. I think you’ll like it.
Chest Fever (the original studio version) is my favorite song from The Band, but it doesn't get the attention it deserves.
You have great taste - "Chest Fever" is masterful all the way through.
@@Bassman2353 my only complaint about “The Last Waltz “ movie is that “Chest Fever” is not included. There is a little tease for it, and then it’s a let down when you don’t get it. I know it’s on the soundtrack, preceded by “Genetic Method”, which is fantastic in itself.
@Robyn Matheson. That's exactly the comment I was lookin' for, "Chest Fever" is on a level of brilliance I can never comprehend! My absolute favorite song of their fantastic discography.
@@rodjohnson2632 Agree 100% with you, criminally underrated!
The best version of the greatest love song/heartbreak song ever written. Rick Danko was one of the greatest voices in rock.
The Last Waltz!!!! Love every minute of it! 😍
The Band with Van Morrison - Caravan live is amazing
I love to see & hear Rick Danko sing, gets me in the feels. RIP Rick, Richard and Levon - legends all.
They had 3 top line vocalists
Robby Robertson wrote everything, plays amazing lead guitar and can also sing great.
Try When You Awake
Right on for the first two, he's amazing writer/guitar player but as a singer and fellow band mate... Not so hot !
Robbie Robertson claimed he wrote all the songs, that's a damn lie. He is a piece of crap who screwed over his band mates.
@@bigbow62 Richard manuel is the third
@@theholyearthgod1363 Yes you are correct, what a voice...my fav. is "The Shape I'm in"
Suggestion - The Band song Up On Cripple Creek
The Band was amazing!!! Levon Helm(drummer/vocals) was awesome! He def fell on some hard times in his last years but he was still putting out great music! Also a great actor. He was awesome in the movie "Shooter" as the gun expert Mark Wahlberg and Michael Peña go to see... I crack up every time I watch the part where he just rubs their hand and tells them who they are hahaha
Didn't Levon work with The Alan Parsons Project on something?
May the Circle Be Unbroken
He also played Loretta Lynn's father in the movie "Coal miner's Daughter"... and a fine performance it was!
They were originally called the Hawks and were the backup band for Ronnie Hawkins from 1958 to 1963.
And Ronnie needs some reactions from his early days onwards.
@@shelleybleu4903 He was an icon here in Canada and he received many awards. It was a sad day when he recently passed away.
I can't believe that you reacted to this song.....one of my favorites! Kudos to whomever suggested it. Such amazingly soulful singing by Rick Danko.
And you got the right version to boot! Just keep playing songs from the movie, "The Last Waltz."
The Band are an amazing group with 5 incredibly talented musicians. They had 3 great lead singers, Rick Danko in this song was probably my favorite.
You guys should react to more of The Band…
"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", "Acadian Driftwood", "Whispering Pines", "It Makes No Difference", "King Harvest (Has Surely Come)", "We Can Talk", "The Rumor", "I Shall Be Released", "Up On Cripple Creek"
🎸🤘
“The Shape I’m In” You’ve yet to here Richard Manuel’s voice as the lead. You won’t regret it.
The Band is so good. You’ve now heard songs that Levon Helm and Rick Danko have sang lead on. Now try one that Richard Manuel sings lead on such as ‘I Shall Be Released.’
Yes! Such a beautiful song.
That is Rick Danko singing Amber!! That's the fellow that gave you the Joe Cocker vibe in the Wait!!👍🎶
Rick Dankos vocals tie your gut in knots, Garth Hudson's falsetto sax at the end really brings it all home.. Tightest liver performance band there ever was or will be.
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down from this concert!!!
Horns galore...the place goes insane!!!
I assure you...it will continue the magical journey that is The Band.
Hoping to see that one soon!
Many props too you two for "getting" The Band. Many don't. Authenticity is what they're about. At one time The Band was Eric Clapton's favorite group, and his dream was to be in it. Levon Helm, the Drummer is from the USA, all the other band members are Canadian who were mentored by Levon Helm and Ronnie Hawkins, back in the day known as Ronnie Hawkins and The Hawks in Canada.
To me The Band is equal to Beatles and Stones. Everything they ever did was "MAGICAL!" The BAND had three lead singers. Suggestions
Chest Fever
The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down
Stage Fright
King Harvest
Tears of Rage
The Shape I'm In
When I Paint My Masterpiece
Time to Kill
Ophelia
Acadian Driftwood
I Shall Be Released.
The lead here was bassist Rick Danko
(I wish I could sing like him)
Richard Manuel sang the upper registers and played piano.
The singing drummer and muse for The Band was Levon Helm.
Robbie Robertson was the lead guitar player and principal songwriter and the multi instrument master (saxes, organs, clavinet,) was Garth Hudson.
The Beatles loved the Band.
The Band was Bob Dylans back up group.
They are MAJOR influences on so many.
Thanks for playing them!
If you want a smile on your face, do the version of "The Weight" by "Playing for Change." They have people from all over the world, including Robbie Robertson from the Band and Ringo Star.
As for whats next, everything on this "Last Waltz" album is great. You might try their number with Emmylou Harris: "Evangeline."
Absolutely on Playing for Change. Think I mentioned it when they reacted to The Weight.
Between Rick (on Bass) and (drummer) Levon with harmony, this song really sounds like when life throws you a curve. A building thunderstorm of emotional music wrapped in soul. Garth's horn solo gets me every time.
Note that Mr. Hudson (Sax player in this clip) started playing different instruments at an early age in Church and at his Uncle's funeral home. Garth was so good that he had his first professional gig at age 12, but it was his skills in "The Band" that solidified his place among legendary musicians!
I hope you'll play The Band's "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" tonight. The brilliant Robbie Robertson passed today. He wrote the song, and it will lift the roof off your house. RIP Robbie.
Rick Danko shines on this!!!! Robbie’s guitar is so unique. A BEAUTIFUL SONG!!!
Finally... The Band for you to react too... They have such quality that most of the biggest artists had them to back them up, and finally they stood on their own as the main event. Blessed was the world.
So glad you enjoyed this! Love from Canada🇨🇦 (The birthplace of The Band)
"The Band" was a Canadian-American rock band formed in 1967. They started out as the "Hawks", the backing group for singer Ronnie Hawkins & later they were the back up band for Bob Dylan. Their most popular songs included "The Weight" & "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". But they had a lot of other great songs such as "King Harvest (Has Surely Come)", "The Shape I'm In", "Ophelia", "Up On Cripple Creek" etc.
Yes. RIP to Ronnie Hawkins.
The saxophonist Garth Hudson is also a genius keyboard player. His big feature song at any Band concert was Chest Fever, which was as close to psychedelic as The Band ever got.
He used a Lowry organ, a little unusual at a time when almost everybody else used Hammonds.
Glad you revisited The Band. Very influential group.
So many great songs by The Band that you two need to listen to. The entire Music From Big Pink album is a good place to start!! One of my favorites is Chest Fever.
They started out as Bob Dylan's backing band before they went on their own as "The Band". (Which is how they got their name The Band)
One of my favorite ballads, gives me chills.
Rick Danko, love ya man, hope you’re good wherever you are, R.I.P.
Many, many years ago, I heard Rick Danko and the Band on this song, and I proceeded to buy everything the Band produced.
Rick Danko's voice is an emotional machine, that draws you in. " The Shape I'm In" and "Cripple Creek". Two more great journeys. Great reaction. Buckets of Maple Syrup love from Canada ❤️❤️🇨🇦 🇨🇦 PS. I got a weird message today saying that I won a prize on your channel. So BEWARE.... The creeps are out again.
This is from the concert movie “The Last Waltz” directed by Martin Scorsese. It documented their last concert together. Had many special guests including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, The Staple singers, many more Check it out!
The Band performed their own songs in this farewell concert, and accompanied many well known guest artists as each came up to play one of their tunes. It was an all-star concert, for sure!
This music makes you feel, like you can actually feel the pain.
What I've always loved about this performance and how it was captured is that the camera stays pretty well locked on Rick for the most part, with Robbie and Levon getting some screen time, and then just all of a sudden Garth's right up front taking the song to a new level on the sax. Like some magical creature just appearing out of nowhere to gift us with his talent.
Such a beautiful lyric. Anyone who’s had their heart broken can immediately relate to the line “And the dawn don’t rescue me, any more.”
RIP RICK DANKO, see we are all listening to your soulful beautiful voice
That was a great analysis by Amber, you both do great reactions! I love The Band, they do so many great songs. I think you would both love The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down and Up On Cripple Creek. I see you're already getting requests for them and I'm sure you'll get lots more in the comments.
The keyboardist is Garth Hudson, and he is the one playing the saxophone in this song. He had very conservative parents and began studying classical music at a very young age. When he joined The Band (who were then called The Hawks), he knew his parents would be horrified that he was joining a rock band, so they told them they were hiring him to be their music teacher!
Oh yeah, and this is one group you can do a lot of live performances of because they did a great job of many of their songs at "The Last Waltz" concert, which is where both of the videos you've seen by them came from. The also back a lot of great artists in the same concert, including Bob Dylan.
Thank you for reacting to this
An incredible live performance by the Band, filmed by Martin Scorcese and some of the best cameramen of the time, y’all should really keep your eyes opened 😮
One of the best love lost songs ever recorded! ♥
You guys gotta do their song The Nite They Drove Old Dixie Down off this same concert (Last Waltz)!
The Band, “Atlantic City” “Up On Cripple Creep” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” “The Shape I’m In” and more. On your own you must watch “The Last Waltz”
The Band is a very rare blend of very rare souls. You can hardly imagine five more unique and vastly different individuals. Melding together to form a perfect blend.
The vocal duties were shared between three lead singers whose styles were as different as the individuals themselves. For my money, Ricky Danko who takes the lead here, is the heart and soul of The Band.
Sadly, all three singers, Danko, Richard Manuel and Levon Helm have passed beyond this Earth.
So much more for you to discover here. They are legendary.
I agree they 3 singers were all unique, and not to take anything away from Levon and Richard, but I absolutely love Rick's singing.
The guy singing here is the late Rick Danko. He sang a verse on "the Weight" but the primary singer there was drummer, Levon Helm. If you love Rick's voice, I definitely recommend "Stage Fright" (From "the Last Waltz")
Here are the hits - You've already heard "The Weight". Next...."Up On Cripple Creek", "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", "The Shape I'm In", "Ophelia", "Life Is A Carnival", "Stage Fright", "When I Paint My Masterpiece", "King Harvest", "Tears Of Rage", "Don't Do It", "I Shall Be Released". The Band had 3 great lead singers...Rick Danko (Bass) has that frail, soulful voice you just heard. Levon Helm (Drums) has the down home, southern accented, little bit nasal voice you heard on "The Weight". Finally, my favorite, Richard Manuel (Keyboards) has a powerful, soulful voice like Ray Charles that carries the lead on "The Shape I'm In"...my favorite Band tune.
Such a great song. So beautiful. My personal favorite from the band.
The Band took the name "The Band" after playing for Bob Dylan for a few years during his heyday in the mid 60's. They are the most notable band to ever back Dylan and are hailed by many famous musicians as one of the most influential rock bands in the world.
That soprano sax is Garth Hudson, the organ player in The Band. He also plays accordion.
RIP Rick, Levon and Richard😥❤️
The Band is a must. Incredible music and lyrical themes.
Damn IT, if that isn't one of the most beautiful, perfect pieces of music ever composed - from the soulful voices to the guitar harmonics to the perfect soprano sax - it's a perfect work of the finest art. I could listen to this song every day for the rest of my life and NEVER tire of it. Thank you Rick Danko and all of the gentlemen in the band of all bands.
You got it! It's not about perfection, it's all about authentic emotional expression. Not many ever did better than The Band.
a band of soul
You're just scratching the surface. I love The Band for the reasons you guys are already getting -- they are genuine, incredible musicians (three world-class singers) and create those "experiences". I'd maybe do "Don't Do It" or "Ophelia" or the video version of "King Harvest" with them playing in the basement of Big Pink, the house in Woodstock, NY where they created tons of music with Bob Dylan.
You have to listen to the live version of The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down!! It’s awesome!!
The Band- These guys were special! You have to watch the whole movie. You won't be sorry! A wonderful rabbit hole to go down. Thanks for great reactions!
Watching ‘The Last Waltz’ was a transformative musical moment in my life. I saw a couple of clips on late night TV. For nearly a week I didn’t rest until I procured a VHS of the complete movie & watched it 3 times in a row. I’d recommend it to anyone, just a fantastic experience. A moment in time & a celebration of a certain era. I felt in on a secret culture that I missed by 10 years. Everything is authentic as Amber mentioned.
Watch the whole thing. You won’t be the same.
it's difficult to put into words just how bold and fresh and affecting those opening lines from “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” - sung with such plaintive authority by Levon Helm, about the Civil War. Yet here was the coolest American “pop” album of the year, by a group consisting of four mysterious Canadians and a guy from Arkansas, of all places.
This is one of my all time favorite bands. The amount of other artists who were influenced by them is staggering including the guitar God Eric Clapton. Their first album Music from the Big Pink is one of the most memorable debut albums of any band. Richard Manuel is actually the main singer along with drummer Levon Helm. Please Please Please do more songs!!! Doesn’t matter which one either they’re all great
Rick Danko’s vocals are amazing. This, It Makes No Difference & Stage Fright are High recommendations from the Band. And King Harvest, Atlantic City & Chest Fever too
Oooh wow! That was something else. Never heard the of The Band nor the song, but wow. Loved everything about it, his voice, the tune, the harmony, but that Sax🎷& guitar🎸was the cherry 🍒 on top. Nice pick guys. 👌 🎵👏❤
Danko is one of my all time favorites for non regular lead singers, Garth is extremely talented (horns keyboards etc, and his parents wouldnt let him join til he said he was giving them music lessons) the night they drove old dixie down , by the band pretty please
A crushingly emotional monster of a song/performance...
One of the geniuses in the Band was Robbie Robertson. He later did solo work including an album called Contact from the Underworld of Redboy. Many great songs and one that was not a hit but everyone should listen to is SACRIFICE. It features Leonard Peltier in a recording from prison telling his story. Moving. Some people have said it is indian centric but I think that it is a cellabration of his roots good and bad. Much Luv
I have the biggest crush on Robbie Robertson from "The Band". He has a song you HAVE TO react to called "SOMEWHERE DOWN THAT CRAZY RIVER". (original video). What a voice on him!! ❤️❤️❤️
I discovered The Band my freshman year of college. I’ve loved them since. I’ll listen to and watch The Last Waltz whenever I need to see and hear this great music. You could always watch The Last Waltz on your movie channel. 😇😇
You NAILED the beauty and magic of this extraordinary and truly one of a kind group. I was instantly obsessed when my mom took me to see The Last Waltz in theaters when it came out. I was only 10, but it hit me deep, and I've only loved them more and more over the years. AND, it was my introduction to Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, The Staples, Muddy Waters, and on and on (I already knew Dylan from my parents' record collection!) You described their harmonies perfectly - I think Levon (drummer) said that they didn't really know how to harmonize, they just each sang what felt right. This performance of this song is just so brilliant, and is a perfect example of what us old-timers would call "real music." If I could recommend a great video for a Friday - Joni Mitchel's "Coyote" from this concert is hard to beat! A great example of The Band's diversity, and I dare you not to fall in Love with Joni. Love your channel, keep up the great videos!
You guys should do "The Bands Last Waltz" as a movie reaction. Greatest music documentary ever, and second place isn't even close.
Another lead singer was Richard Manuel. One in particular was “King Harvest (has surely come)”. It was about the the depression of the 30s and is just a fantastic song. Live versions are the best. There are many available to react to.
The studio-version Must Hear is "Chest Fever." That one will knock your socks off.
You also generally can't go wrong with anything from The Last Waltz. Standouts that you haven't hit yet include "The Shape I'm In," "Ophelia," "Stage Fright" and "Life Is a Carnival" (the last of those isn't in the movie). In terms of guest musician songs, "Coyote" (Joni Mitchell) and "Caravan" (Van Morrison) are superb.
The Band's last show, and it was filled with memorable performances!! Check out their version of Caravan with Van Morrison 😱😱😱
THE BAND! I suggest “King Harvest (Has Surely Come)” , “Don’t Do It (Don’t Break My Heart)” live Rock of Ages version, “Rag Mama Rag”, so many incredible musical experiences!!!
Best ever , The Band .... never be forgotten .... Music History
You can't go wrong with The Band! For another song sung by Rick Danko, the bass player, check out "Stagefright". Their primary singer on most songs is the drummer, Levon Helm, who has that sweet Southern twang. Levon and Rick are both great, authentic sounding singers and musicians.
This is from the concert video "The Last Waltz" from The Bands last performance. "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" from this concert is a must. Levon Helm sings it with the heart and soul only a southern boy could muster.
Rick Danko’s voice is unique and full of emotion. The Band’s other lead singer, drummer Levon Helm, has one of the best voices in rock, IMO. You should check the live version of Don’t Do It from The Band’s Rock of Ages album, featuring Helm as lead vocalist. Once you hear his voice, you’ll never forget it.
You missed Richard. All three are like instruments.
The Band's catalogue is huge and marvelous.
