never knew the band existed until 1991.fell in love with there backwoods allmost appalacian approach to music.allmost like how one would consider credence clearwater revival with southern swamp music.even thought they were from california.
I know she's a tracker Any style that would back her They say she's a chooser But I just can't refuse her She was just there, but then she can't be here no more And as my mind unweaves I feel the freeze down in my knees But just before she leaves, she receives She's been down in the dunes And she's dealt with the goons Now she drinks from a bitter cup I'm trying to get her to give it up She was just here, I fear she can't be there no more And as my mind unweaves I feel the freeze down in my knees But just before she leaves, she receives It's long, long when she's gone I get weary holding on Now I'm coldly fading fast I don't think I'm gonna last very much longer "She's stoned, " said the Swede And the moon calf agreed But I'm like a viper in shock With my eyes in the clock She was just there somewhere and here I am again And as my mind unweaves I feel the freeze down in my knees But just before she leaves, she receives
This performance for me was a huge factor as one of the main reasons why Robbie Robertson wanted to stop touring with The Band ? If the engine blew 'a gasket ' for example ,then the entire heart of the group was seriously affected in the quality dept and to be honest ,they sounded horrible . I know hindsight is as accurate as you can get ,but if certain members of The Band had the smarts to take a step back and scrutinize their lifestyles back then , i believe The Band would have made wonderful music in the studio after The Last Waltz with the original lineup . Addiction is brutal and horrendous !
The older i get the more i love THE BAND
Me too

Love how the composer is lurking in the shadows.
Ok...THIS is the BEST LIVE version of this SONG !
Beautiful,Masters at work!!!
Levon’s drumming is great even when he’s singing. His ride cymbal cuts through nicely also.
Any gig that has Richard Manuel in is amazing by default
When music was really music
This is awesome. Big Pink was one of my first albums, bought it in 1970.
Just went to the big pink house this week in Saugerties NY looks the same
I know she's a tracker
Any style that would back her
They say she's a chooser
But I just can't refuse her
She was just there, but then she can't be here no more
And as my mind unweaves
I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves, she receives
She's been down in the dunes
And she's dealt with the goons
Now she drinks from a bitter cup
I'm trying to get her to give it up
She was just here, I fear she can't be there no more
And as my mind unweaves
I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves, she receives
It's long, long when she's gone
I get weary holding on
Now I'm coldly fading fast
I don't think I'm gonna last very much longer
"She's stoned, " said the Swede
And the moon calf agreed
But I'm like a viper in shock
With my eyes in the clock
She was just there somewhere and here I am again
And as my mind unweaves
I feel the freeze down in my knees
But just before she leaves, she receives
nice!
Great great great
@ 2:15 when levon comes in. Mighty fine playing
Sadly, Richard's voice was in the process of deteriorating.

Should have handed the lead vocal chore to another band member.
