@@Karmakatt6 Hard to pick a favorite performance, but seeing Janis, Jerry, Bobby and Danko singing “Ain’t No More Cane” on the train had me grinning ear to ear.
When I saw the Band live in the 1970’s at UC Santa Barbara, this song stood out for me and made me appreciate Richard Emanuel so much. I was shocked and hurt when I heard years later of his suicide.such a soulful singer
I discovered these guys just days before this at overnight camp. I still remember putting on the brown album, hearing Across the Great Divide for the first time. Almost 53 fucking years later they're still my go to music. The Band!
Life has been really tough lately and I've lost my relationships with many people close to me this past year, but i'll always have the band. I listen to the band nearly every single day and the music always makes me feel better. Thank you, Richard, Rick, Robbie, Levon, and Garth. Thank you for the tunes. RIP Richard, Robbie, Rick, and Levon. This music never fails to cheer me up and give me a reason to keep going.
It's crazy we have the technology to re-watch anything we want like this and I'm not sure how I feel about that...but that part starting at 3:07 is so beautiful where they trade off and I can't stop watching it.
You should watch the clip of Levon and John Simon "the making of Rockin' Chair" that's usually in the sidebar. It's the best clip from that whole documentary, at least in some ways (it's all pretty damn cool, I find); Levon and John give you a real sense of the dynamics between all 3 vocalists and they both talk about that trade off. I've said forever, I want this song played at my "celebration of life" (even though I have nothing to do with old Virginny or working on the ocean). I really don't know how a kid 25-26 years old, as Robbie was when he wrote this, can have such an understanding of getting old. Between him and John Prine's "Hello in There", they've said it all, seems to me.
To all the band who died rest in peace you guys really inspired this 41 year old man into music thank you to the band rest in peace Robbie, Rick Levon, Richard thanks again
Truly a "heart & soul" human being and artist. Richard's given the world so much love and his music "loves on" in a wealth of recordings, videos, and in the millions of musicians he's inspired. The iconic tragedy of musicians, addiction, hurt Richard horribly. Alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, pot, heroine, meth... he and the Band were enabled by family, friends, and the music industry, to the point they could not work together; they endangered each other & their loved ones; myriad DWI injury accidents; and they started dying much too young. When will we learn to speak up instead of enabling? -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
Well now that Garth has Crossed the Great Divide, to take his place with his brothers on high, Leaving a void as big as a Woodstock Sky and a Poet devoid of minstrels to give wings to his prophesies and lullabies, the Lark has fallen silent and the Songbirds without Song. Ladies & Gentlemen, take or vacate your Seats as you will, Time out has been called, It's Full House on High, Wipe away your Tears, There's no time to Cry. I hear The Band strike up, there's a Stirring amongst the Stars, The Angels are filing in, between Venus & Mars. The Sun has bowed to the Moon from the Wings. Draw open the Curtains, it is Time for a Renewal, a Start of Wonderful things. Lift up your Voices once more & let the Heavens Ring. 😊❤🎉
I have long been a fan of the band. A remarkable group with a remarkable amount of talent, both vocally and musicianship wise. Am I the only one who thinks that Robbie's guitar was a bit out of tune? Knowing how these guys typically arrange songs with mastery, it could have been a purposeful tuning effort to provide a bit of depth to the song. It draws one's attention to the melody to see if the entire effort goes out of bounds or not.
Studio version has acoustic guitar. Sometimes when you play live you just have to make due with the instrument in your hand. Still a great rendition of this song.
I'd buy a beer to any fan of The Band. Keep rockin' until we all meet up oneday..
Back atcha, pal. Love this flick as it captures many of my favorite musicians, esp. Pig.
@Nano0k fantastic film indeed!! Would've loved to have seen Bob Dylan on that train!!

Ill buy one for ya. Hopefully we meet at a bar soor
Well shit I hope I meet ya pal ! Miller high life!
Sometimes I feel. This hill's to steep to climb
And the days that remain ain't worth a dime
I like how Richard puts his shoulders into it
The range on Richard's voice is awesome...baritone to falsetto.
Wonderfully gifted musicians. Richard really shines in this performance.
Richard Manuel. A beautiful tragic soul. What a fabulous collection of musicians they were.

What a beautiful, beautiful voice and version of this song !
This is a gem
Who else could have sung this song this well!
I was lucky to be at The Festival Express. Just a kid, age 15 and in awe of The Band. Such a great band, Eric Clapton wanted to join them.
3:28 And I long to see my very best friend

The Band!
This song is just a freaking killer.
A very beautiful song played by one of the world's best bands ❤❤❤❤❤❤with a
One of the best songs ever.
An exceptional version. RIP Garth, and well, the entire Band!
Doesn’t get better than this. I miss all of these guys, just a perfect song.
Best band EVER! They burned out way to soon. Miss them Sooo much
I was in upstate NY the day Richard left the world. What an imaginative, sensitive, massively gifted man. RIP always

What's the downside? It's what's so great about RUclips.

You mean Levon Helm?
@@JamesConley1234 yes
Back to the 8-track in my childhood bedroom. Such an emotive and brilliant band.

Richard leading is the best.
Levon has more soul then anyone I’ve ever heard, there all good.
Brilliant! Thanks for posting. Love the harmonies and the spirit of this song.
Love to see Levon on mandolin
Farewell Garth
A wonderful song for the now departed Robbie Robertson (RIP)
Best Band ever.....they're getting better with the years...
Sweet Richard is in top form.
So beautiful.
So wonderful.
Brings chills❤
Beautiful!
Wow! So talented!
非常棒的版本，希望微博营销号别转去墙内恰烂钱了，谢谢
Thank you for this!
Richard my favorite

Wow
RICHARD!
I can’t believe they’re all gone, except for Garth.
It won’t be too long till Garth joins the rest of them in heaven. I hope they’ll play for me and the missus, when I get there! Their the best.
This sounds like it was captured from the mixing board. Not great quality and I'm sure it's not what the audience heard.

The electric guitar doesn't fit, a nice acoustic part would have fitted better.

God bless you, Richard.
