If Mavis Staples singing doesn’t give you goosebumps then you might be dead
That "Mmm, Hmm" after "...but my friend can stick around" will rip your heart out..
Robbie Robertson wrote this song, and played so well during this performance.
Mavis is the greatest. Her pappy's voice is an instrument unto itself. Finally, thank you Arkansas for Levon.
Absolutely!!
Thanx for recognizing Levon Helm... he also made appearances in a few movies. May he rest in peace...
Pops singing is so smoooth!
Mavis' voice is just like a liqueur sliding slowly over your tongue and fills every single point of your mouth with its great taste
🤢
RIP Levon, Rick, Richard. Living on in our hearts.
And as a few days ago Robbie as well. Sad
im 18 and in love with them.. RIP them all, long live Garth 😔
And, of course, all the Staples except Mavis.
Why are my eyes watering?
That touched me. Right here❤.
Always have, always will love The Band. They were the best.
My favorite too. I can't listen & watch without tears.
Mavis and em' brought this song up a notch.
Yes!
RIP Robbie Robertson 😢they’re all gone now. Wow, I feel old and sad now. What music
I believe Garth is still alive. I looked it up. However, yes sad I have loved The Band since I first heard "Up on cripple creek" in the late sixties. I'm almost finished reading Robertson's book "Testimony", fascinating, He was a great song writer and story teller.
RIP 😥
Garth is now in a long term care facility.
Garth Hudson is still with us, at last I heard. Godspeed, Garth.
Love love love The Band. Love Staple singers. Doesn’t get much better than this. 😍
My favorite singer drummer Levon Helms I'm glad you young folks have decided to listen to our kind of music and to keep it alive rest in peace Levon
🙏❤️
Perfection for this song
Don't forget to see the Playing for Change version with Robbie Robertson and Ringo Starr and a cast of thousands!
To think that they knew this was their last live recording as a group is sad, but they had a great going away party!
Right at the end Mavis whispers "Beautiful".
Try It Makes No Difference, also from The Last Waltz.
I will check it out!
Rick Danko shredding that fretless bass..man is a boss
My all time fave song by my all time fave band.
This was a filmed rehearsal. Seen it a thousand times, still gives me the goosebumps. Damn, I miss the 70s.
I definitely miss the super 70's when music was music.
The version done during the actual concert wasn't up to Scorsese's standards so they set this up later so they could include this masterpiece in the film.
He spread the talent around to where you know they all loved being part of the song
Levon was a legend. Mavis Staples sings with the very essence of soul -- or so you think until Pops Staples starts his solo.
Yes!!
What a perfect version ..so well done
I never get bored of this version. Great song, lineup and performance.
🙏😊
The respect you’ve shown, the fact that you didn’t interrupt at all, got you a subscriber the first time I’ve ever seen you react..fact is I just wanted to hear the song, and I found you…if you let the artists play, I will stay after and listen to what you have to say..A+ reaction
Thank you very much!!
Best version n favorite one unbelievably
The Band, the group that Eric Clapton said he wished he could have been in.
I'm so glad he didn't get to ruin it; he's a cardboard king of a guitarist and a soulless singer.
This is literally one of the greatest bands of all time. They played and recorded with dozens of great names. I'll bet over 1000 songs. You need to watch the whole movie it's awesome
Absolutely!!
RiP Robbie. For anyone that hasn't already watch the the last waltz.
Garth Hudson’s organ playing really pulls this version together.
The Weight is a perfect song for The Band’s combined elements of Americana, folk, rock, jazz, country, and R&B music.
Such... such a great performance of a wonderful song. You watched it correctly, in awe, like the rest of us.
I just purchased "The Last Waltz" online. There isn't a bad song on it!!! My favorite after the Weight is "It Makes No Differnce". Bob Dylan sings his song he wrote "Forever Young". Lots of good music there!!! You look like you could star in a Ricky Nelson movie!!
Absolutely! What a great concert & movie.
Oh really? Thank you 😊🙏
From start to finish The Last Waltz is brilliant
Love Levon Helm (RIP) the heart & soul of the group
A few of my favorites from The Last Waltz...
With The Band & friends
Up on Cripple Creak
Ophelia
Mystery Train ( w/Paul Butterfield )
The Shape I'm In
Helpless (w/Neil Young)
& Oh so many more....
Nice..yes..Rickey Nelson..lol..
Last Waltz Clapton took the house down!!!
Last Waltz should be shown to every high school senior class so they can go out into the world with a basic understanding of what music is.
I didnt see this until the early 90's when I was in my early 30's. I instantly fell in love with Mavis Staples. My goodness.
Can’t get any better than this
It’s by far one of the best songs
RIP Robbie.
Can’t get any better than this. It gets better each time you hear it
I still get goosebumps 41 years later! Have you ever seen something done so enjoyably or more easily? I haven't. Musicianship of the highest qual!ty.
Really the best version of this song ever... But specially the final "afro musical crying" from The Staples, just amazing! From the Very Deep Roots of Time!
The Band with The Staple Singers for this was a GREAT combination. Mavis Staples voice is so SOULFUL
You see by the number of of comments that you don't have too many people that are familiar with weight one of them my songs I like back in the day I was trying to think of some of them without asking my daughter about love the band the Eagles next to Elvis I love Tom Jones I was really at the height of my N64 we went out dancing at least six nights a week and only reason we didn't go the 7th it's because the clubs were closed you didn't hear much Elvis but Elvis was on my mind cuz he was busy making those movies course we did buy these CDs from the movies or DVDs and then we have to go to the me almost I would like to say better than the Beatles I can't think of their name all I can tell you is the Gibbs brothers Andy Morris Robin and Barry not to me there is no one that can sing falsetto as good as Barry Gibb if I'm not mistaken even Robin sing my love for the Gibbs great songs like Massachusetts and I started a joke favorite Gibson song is tragedy Asbury got older he couldn't sing his fault peceto quite as high because he had back trouble and he said you have to really take a deep breath with your lungs and everything I guess to get up to that falsetto and his back trouble was interfering with that but he still did a hell of a job when they had a a show here in the states commitment writing Barry Gibb left in the other brothers have passed away you know how lonely he fails without his brothers they still write songs. He wrote his for I don't know how many people him and his brothers like Islands in the Stream Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton you don't send me any flowers anymore Neil Diamond and Barbra Streisand he wrote for Diana Ross I could go home and on but that is one group now I can listen to but they still do not surpass the king this is one of my good days feel like talking to anybody that calls me or I'll call them saw some go talk to John he owes me some songs one of these days I will be able to afford to get a cup of coffee with you I promise Harry's friend in the United States of America and I only hope that we get to stay that way and not turn into a fascist country in 2024 which keeps me up at night but maybe I'll be gone by then but I have a daughter and granddaughters and great-grandchildren that I would like to leave a country that is a domestic country not a facist I know I should leave certain subjects out and I feel like if I can't talk to John as long as I'm using the right language for my community I know politics might be out of here but I'm not trying to use anyone's name I'm just let people guess who I'm talkin about I will let you go for this the day hope you're not too bored with me Laura
I saw these guys live 3 times once in the late 70's when they toured behind Bob Dlyan. They were one of the greatest live bands ever to hit the stage. If you watch the flim The Last Waltz you realize how great they were at supporting other legends who were notoriously finicky about who they played with. Niel Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, and Niel Diamond. They showcased all these artists in that film and gave them all the support they needed to perform at their very best. What a legendary band.
Wow!!
Now thats a performance you’d be proud to say you produced. Thats not even a benchmark anyone can hope to reach these days, with all the recording tricks available today 🤘❤️ directed by martin scorsese
What a polished performance.
We sang this in the back of my parents station wagon cruising down the highway Many many years ago♡
The band a great group originally started as a sessions band at one time they where Bob Dylan band everyone played with them way back when but that wasn't unusual great music back then I miss the music and real talent I hate auto tune God bless
I’m mid-song and can’t wait to hear you speak when it’s over. It’s clear you have the perfect disposition for this classic song. This was a great find for my first time on your channel. Thank you.
It Does Not get any better than this...
Love The Band. Music from Big Pink still one of my favorite LPs.
Stunning
Awesome luv it
This is my favorite rendition of "The Weight." The Staples are hella from Oakland... take care home girls, and always come "Back to Oakland."
I've never seen any negative comments on this clip. How could you? It's perfect, and as a long-time Band-fan, nostalgic. These guys always managed to penetrate my soul and akashic experience with their style of music.
Only one word fits this. Epic
So good - a true classic!!!
Wow love the song 🎵 😍 thanks sweetheart 😘 💕
😊🙏❤️
Never get tired of this version love you
The band is four Canadians and one American, drummer Levon Helm, they used to be Bob Dylan’s back up band. Robbie Robertson wrote most of their songs. BTW You missed the impromptu jam session at the end of the video! R.I.P. Levon Helm, Rick Danko and Richard Manuel.
You Said it like it is, great!
The Band has a few bangers Love the song an you peace my brother GOD BLESS 💯🌹🔥❣️🙏☮️🌞
Actually this is a studio recorded version not live. This was done by Robbie Robertson during the production of the Album The Last Waltz from the movie of the same name. The Staples Singers never actually performed this song live at the Last Waltz concert. The other Band members were pissed off at Robbie for including some acts like Niel Diamond (Who Robbie just happend to be producing an album for at the time) in the Concert and leaving out others. They decided to do a studio version with the Staples Singers and made it look live to fit into the theam of the Movie The Last Waltz. This information comes from Levon Helms book " This Wheels On Fire" about the history of The Band.
Oh really? Great information. Thank you.
Happy 85th Birthday, Garth Hudson (keyboards) 🇨🇦
Aaaaaahh 😎 The Band…Staples….well…it just DOES NOT get better’n this that’s for sure!! Levon Helm, Mavis, Dad…heck…ALL OF ‘EM 💕 When ya have a free minute…Check out Playing For Change and THEIR tribute to The Weight!! It is PURE brilliance and I do believe you’ll LOVE IT!!!!
❤️
Also directed by one great director Martin Scorse! Mavis and Levon - too great.
When Danko's not the best singer by miles, y'know you're witnessing greatness!
Yup!!
One of the greatest songs ever written and certainly one of the greatest performances ever recorded... Thank you for doing this one, and have a great day
Thank you. Have a great day as well!
WOW❤I just found your channel, from Canada 🇨🇦 The Band is my fave group, with my teenage crush being Rick Danko (RIP) and The Last Waltz is a MUST SEE! Pure Canadiana 😊 Subbed
Thank you very much!! ❤️❤️😊
I remember this song from my middle song from when I was in my middle teens, Always loved it! Thank you John for sharing this, I haven't heard it in several years! Love you John! Crazy Old 65 year old woman from Cleveland Tennessee!
Thank you very much Lavena!
Mavis is still amazing saw her in 2019. Still sounds great.
Wow!
That "Um Humm" after her chorus goes right to my soul.
The Last Waltz was the best Concert Movie of all time, until J. Demme and Talking Heads make “Stop Making Sense”!
Check out The Stapes’ versions of Life During Wartime and Slippery People. Slippery People is a staple of Mavis’ show to this day!
You might also want to react to Mavis and Dave singing “Take Me to the River” the Al Green and Heads standard. It was a Kennedy Center Honors moment.
Will check it out!!
The perfect marriage of blues/Soul, and rock and roll! Mavis is a queen! If you haven't seen "The Last Waltz," it's required musician viewing, along with "Muscle Shoals", "The Wrecking Crew" and "Standing in the Shadows of Motown." The Staples Family recorded in Muscle Shoals, AL -- just about 40 miles west of me, and FAME Recording Studios and Muscle Shoals Sound (Jackson Highway) are essential stops if you're interested in music history. They absolutely took it to CHURCH in this video! Loved the reaction. Peace!
Absolutely ❤️ Thank you!
Did you notice the bass had no frets. Never seen that before. Best version of the weight, I agree. Mavis, what a voice, Staples truly took me to church. New subscriber here. Thank you for sharing your time and reaction. Peace
Thank you very much!!
Jack Bruce (Cream) often played a fretless bass. See "Live at Royal Albert Hall".
Love your reaction
Thank you!
Mavis also sang the intro to National Lampoons xmas Vacation
Got to react to Mavis doing "I'll take you there"!!!
Yes!!
Thanks John for reacting to this classic!
Thanks for watching Nancy 😊
If you want to see a great concert movie, checkout The Last Waltz! The band was breaking up and they had a tribute cocert at Winterland, San Francisco, with Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Ringo Star, Eric Clapton and so many more! A true must see! You'll thank me for this suggestion....
"WOW!" Zactly! This was Thanksgiving 1976 at the iconic Winterland Ballroom in San Fran. 'S a documentary movie by Martin Scorsese... a gotta see!
Just Great. All I can say.
Best version.
Hey hey JG; this was fabulous! Didn't recognize the title, but at the go of the intro, I recalled it! Hope all is well. Will fully dive into my messages this weekend & circulate things 😉 KIT ...
I hope things calm down, because a much destressing is needed! ❤ Stay safe & strong!
Btw; Really dig your reaction 👍
Yes, it's a great song! 😊🙏 Thank you! Stay safe & strong as well Lisa ❤️ KIT :)

Watch ALL of THE LAST WALTZ ..directed by MARTIN SCORSESSE !!

I love it
Considered the best hippie song ever 😎
I think you hit the nail on the head when you said take us to church
😊🙏
Yes I remember these turns very well we getting into the light 70s maybe early 80s when I was waiting love the song really groovy I will be 77 tomorrow on May 30th and you told me we could do it go when you got back from your trip that his hand in mine was coming so I was hoping it was coming for my birthday when I posted a new song I love that that lady music and I remember the error of that music was into I think most all that was before disco came in I like a lot of those sounds back then you know getting old I can't think of some of the bands names right off that I listen to through my teenage daughter and I'll keep holding on and waiting you had been really good to us Elvis fans anyway so we can expect Elvis all the time I would like to go down the Elvis Rabbit Hole as far as we could go but I did love the song you just played AKA Elvis Junkie
Happy Birthday Laura! I hope that you had a great day ❤️🎉☺️ More Elvis coming your way soon! Sorry that I did not manage to react to "His Hand in Mine" yet but I will do it as soon as possible. It's my little birthday present for you!
I think Wow is yeah Wow..lol
DANKO !!!
Yes!!
This was absolutely amazing.... Please when you have a minute check out Boz Skaggs ..
Low Down..
Geile Musik
You should check out a song by George Strait and Alan Jackson. Called murder on music row................be water my friend
I will check it out!
You should really watch the entire movie The Last Waltz which this clip is from.
I will!!
@@johngibsonmusic Directed by Oscar winner Martin Scorsese. It was The Bands final concert and the guest list is legendary.
I this video very well.
You seem to get the nuance.
Why does no one comment on the Hammond B?
Just saying.
John I'm trying to get this with no errors when you came back from your trip you said Laura his hand in mine is coming well I've been waiting I've only has heard one song from you since you've been back that was the weight which I commented on a while back about a song that I have never ever heard from Elvis now I know that there's probably some tunes I've never heard but if I'm sure at least 90% of them it's called The Last Farewell I would like you to come in on it what you think the song is talkin about myself I think it's a man either leaving England or going back to England one of the wars I would think is an unusual song Elvis to sing I think and then the other day I found the most chill Bump song America and then I found which out will you probably never find again I just came over and accidentally he was performing on New Year's Eve and he sang Auld Lang Syne and it was midnight so the audience was singing along with him so you can't hear him back clear but that particular song If I don't hear that on New Year's Eve at the stroke of midnight will it's not New Year's to me I love all Auld Lang Syne maybe that one came out alright anyway I will let you go this is your friend from America and then I also found he must have been performing on New Year's Eve of course your friend I'm sure you didn't travel through Mississippi cuz there's nothing here to see except if he go to Tupelo I do have Elvis's little shotgun house and souvenirs and everything I'm sure that helps Tupelo with their income terrorist to have to stop in at Tupelo my friend bought me some shot glasses with the little shotgun house on it and some heart-shaped Elvis plates I did very well on my birthday this year except for those 277 candles on my cake they look 10 ft tall
That's amazing Laura! Thanks for your comment.
Yes, but I have to upload some pre-recorded videos first. I will record my "His Hand In Mine" reaction in the next few days. Thanks for you patience. ❤️ Have a fantastic day!
Where did I mess up or not when I said I was going to try to make this one error-free it was a error I want every sentence I do believe Laura
@@johngibsonmusic I understand John I'm not trying to the rush you or anything I know how it works and you got to kind of go in and how they were put into you as a request and I don't expect to jump to the head of the list AKA Elvis Junkie
@@johngibsonmusic well I just read your comment again this hope you have a great day too and I hope I don't take too much of your time with my silly errors and thing as his kind of embarrassing to me and I might just start not requesting or commenting because I make too many errors and I'm not mentally challenged or anything I'm just getting a little slower and slower once more Laura
You're not old enough to rate "our" music. You had to be there.
You're pretty
Marry me, cutie. Oklahoma here. Peace!
He had already heard this song he was mouthing the lyrics for a while and he missed the end. Wth is wrong with this guy
Where or when did I say that I haven't heard this song before?
