    That singing drummer is Levon Helm, one of the most insanely talented human beings in history. That of course is my opinion, but there was an incredible amount of talent on that stage right there, that’s undeniable.

    "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", "It Makes No Difference" etc.

    Wow, Wow, Wow, great one guy's. This from the movie "The Last Waltz" released in 1976. The movie follows The Band leading up to their farewell concert in 1976 on Thanksgiving Day in San Francisco. Robbie Robertson playing the duel guitar here wrote the song. Levon Helm on the drums sadly passed away a few years ago as did bass player Rick Danko who was on your car left and sang here also maybe 8 years or so ago. One more member has also passed. I think only two are left, sad. Two more great videos from this movie are "The Night They Drove Dixie Down" with Levon singing again. The other is from the last so g of the show when Bob Dylan and The Beatles drummer Ringo Starr along with a lot of famous performers who played that night did Dylan's "I Shall Be Released" What a way to finish the show. In 2019 Robbie Robertson hooked up with Ringo for the 50th anniversary of the release of the song "The Weight" They were joined in remotely by musicians from around the world. When the pandemic hit hard in 2020 this video kinda became a world anthem, please check it out, it's incredible. Peace ☮️✌️💕

    The guitarist was Robbie Robertson, the Band member who wrote most of the Bands music including the Weight. He was the guy who kept this group together and gave them the music that made the band The Band. Robbie was a Mohawk who's ancestors fought on the Canadain/British side when the US war of independance occurred. These Iroquios moved to Canada when the war ended. Much of his music was actually historic including the Weight, The Night They Drove Ol Dixie Down and Evangeline.

    I wish we as Americans got along like the folks in this song. The world would be a better place. Harmony. The Nazareth referred to in the song is a town in eastern Pennsylvania that they are talking about. The home of guitar maker Martin.

    This came from a concert movie by Martin Scorsese called "The Last Waltz" . It had a lot of guest performers and was their last live performance.

    This collaboration between The Band and The Staples Singers was the final song performed in the iconic "The Last Waltz" - A 1978 Martin Scorsese documentary of the final live performance of The Band. The Band decided to do their final performance at The Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, which was the first venue they played together. In addition to all the classic "The Band songs, there were a number of superstar guest performers - Ronny Hawkins, Dr. John, Paul Butterfield, Muddy Waters, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, Neil Diamond, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, and Bob Dylan. The guys in The Band felt that there had not been a "right message" stated to end the documentary, so this fantastic arrangement was put together. The Staples (especially Mavis and "Pops") were an unparalleled gospel group, and the members of The Band have their musical roots closely tied to gospel and soul music. No finer way to end this amazing documentary!!!

    Deeply spiritual song ...
    Nazareth , Moses , Luke and the Devil !
    Fun fact - if you’ve seen the movie ‘Shooter’ with Mark Wahlberg ,,,the drummer is the old gunsmith man they go and see in Tennessee ! Levon Helm was his name ...
    RIP !
    Great song ! BJ you hit the deeper meaning brother !
    Asia’s take is also valid !
    Some songs are meant to hit on many levels , this is one for sure !

    This was from the documentary film "The Last Waltz" which covers their final concert. The very next song is another classic called "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" and is my favorite version of that song, It features a horn section arranged by the great Allen Toussaint!

    First off, props for the Elly De La Cruz hat.
    What you have here is a singing drummer, Mr Robertson (RIP) and that wonderful disjointed into lick. Robbie is the master of soulful licks, fills and solos, Rick Danko and his totally cool manic body jerks and killer turn with his verse. The Staple Singers took the song from really good to masterpiece.
    The song weaves bible tales throughout its story but the main theme is what’s living in a small town all about. Colorful characters and some hard luck. Nazareth refers to the town in Pennsylvania where one of Robbie’s guitars was made. Seeing a label inside the guitar stating the guitar was made in Nazareth gave him the push to write the song

  • @f.murphy8340
    @f.murphy8340 2 роки тому +2

    Martin Guitars are made in Nazareth, Pennslyvania - that just kind of struck Robbie Robertson - and he used it as the core of the song. He simply looked inside the guitar, and the name was there.

    That short backstage looking jam at the end showed Robbie Robertson on guitar. The Band's base player was on the fiddle and the guy blowing the harp plays keys with The Band. The old timer on the guitar is Pops Staples and his three daughters with the wonderful Mavis singing lead.

    Levon Helm on the drums. Originally from Turkey Scratch, Arkansas (although they say from Marvell which is just a few miles north) I lived near there for the first 3 decades of my life. Levon is gone but his memory will live on forever in these songs.

  • @wonsworld61

    A wonderful part on that song is as the screen fades to black, you just see and hear Mavis Staples whisper the word "Beautiful" .. it sums up the entire clip in one word as spoken by one of the performers.

    The Band 1st album was a big influence on Roger Waters / Pink Floyd
    Referring to "Music from Big Pink" by The Band, Roger said:

    "That one record changed everything for me. After Sgt. Pepper, it's the most influential record in the history of rock and roll. It affected Pink Floyd deeply, deeply, deeply. Philosophically, other albums may have been more important, like Lennon's first solo album. But sonically, the way the record's constructed, I think Music from Big Pink is fundamental to everything that happened after it."

    Wow. I've always been an admirer of The Band but I guess I'd better pull out my vinyl LP and give it a long overdue listen!

  • @teri7398

    I like this version. I have been a fan of the band for years. Some may ask are they country are they rock. I say they are simply beautiful lay back smooth music. Over the years many great performers had turns playing with them George Harrison Bob Dylan and nowthe Stalptons. All in all just great music to listen to.

  • @cheryla7480
    @cheryla7480 2 роки тому

    Four Canadian guys, sounding as “southern” as their drummer (Arkansas) the great Levon Helm. Robbie Robertson wrote the lyrics for all their songs. Try “Up On Cripple Creek “ next. R.I.P. Levon Helm, Rick Danko and Richard Manuel.. The Staples really made this version my favourite.

    Love this song, I can't wait to here your jam reaction. I bought the "Band Greatest hits for this. "I have to add, I was coming home on a country road at 3 am. And it was a foggy night after a 12 shift, in 2001. My parents knew this song. But, it became mine. It is awesome!

  • @markmyers6472
    @markmyers6472 2 роки тому

    Drummer is the late, great, Levon Helm... his library is extensive, but some of his best work is the last two albums he did... Dirt Farmer and Electric Dirt... some of my favorites is 'when I go away', 'growing trade' and 'a train robbery'. His voice changed after his bout with throat cancer. They told him he would never talk again... and instead... he released two of his best albums... Cool Cat from Arkansas.
