Robbie had enough of touring, he had been doing it since he was 16, he was married with 3 young children, and 3 of the Band members, Levon, Richard and Rick were doing some heavy drugs etc. Robbie felt like if they continued something bad would happen.

I always thought of it as more of a nod to the boys. A way of letting them have the applause. But i do like the way you put it. Ronnie definitely thought highly of The Band.
In Levon Helm's book, This Wheel's on Fire, he talks about how much he hated The Last Waltz. He thought that Richard Manuel should have gotten more screen time, but he also said that Richard looked really bad at that time, "like Che Guevara after the Bolivians got through with him."
I've watched this so many times and yet this time is when I actually recognize how Robbie is conducting. He is absolutely leading The Band like the best defenseman on your power play!
That’s amazing. What a cool memory to have in the bank. I went to the same high school Rick went to… about 50 years later though. I got into The Band after college. I can’t believe there’s no Danko statue out front of the school.

In interviews Robbie gave late in his life he stated that The Band at that point was no longer performing as well as before with drugs and alcohol taking a toll. He probably felt that subpar performance would continue if they kept going. The Last Waltz film was taken from their last 5-hour concert with all their friends. It was the grand extravaganza Robbie wanted The Band to be remembered by.
@@JamesSmith-ou9sd The Hawk is a straight showman during this show. I actually enjoy his songs the most out of The Last Waltz. But you’re right, doesn’t compare to Neil Diamond!

Ronnie Hawkins came north from Arkansas and brought teenage Levon Helm with him. He gave a bunch of young Canadian boys their Southern soul.
Ronnie Hawkins loved those boys...and they loved him.
With all the Drugs and orgies they could handle you bet they were a tight nit bunch. Man the ‘70 seemed like a good time.
Levon may not have wanted to do this show, or the movie, but he was clearly feelin' it on stage. He's so, so good from start to finish.
I never knew he didn’t want to do the movie. Why was that?

They were all good that night, even Richard even though he was not in top form.

Rest Easy 💐
Garth is the only one left?
Robbie beautiful inside and out.
@@joekosobucki2141 Yes.
Yes rip keep singing ❤😢
Ronnie leaves the scene like an arsonist thinking "All good. The band is on fire.Big time...BIG TIME!!!"

@@steveanthrop8475 Those who ever listened to them ALL do, every one of them Steve Emanuel Levon Robbie damn even Bob Dylan
They all look so happy, even Garth. Ronnie Hawkins is the man

He was bitter of the screen time Robbie got too
RIP Robbie it’s been one year since you left us! Thanks for the great music!
So cool no body today can can stay up with them
Richard had such a great voice. A wonderful soul that we lost too soon.
They were all great, but I especially love watching Rick and Robbie.
When I first got into The Band, I thought Robbie was doing the lead vocals? Richard had a fantastic voice!
So many memories with this music. Aww the good old days
I just loved Ronnie's voice.
Coolest & humble band The Hawks-Band with Ronnie. What a great times the '60 & '70. We grew up those brilliant days.🗣(from Jujuy,Argentina)
I've watched this so many times and yet this time is when I actually recognize how Robbie is conducting. He is absolutely leading The Band like the best defenseman on your power play!
I think Ronnie is the one doing the conducting in this particular song
love them and so glad I saw them live at Watkin's Glen.
God, could Richard sing.
Great stuff. I'm gonna have to go back and watch the whole thing again.
Loved The Band!
Mr. Robbie really could burn that fretboard. Also this may be the first fanning of the flames on the guitar🍻
Love that little delayed crash Levon gives at the end there.
The Band iconic they will always live on in music history long may they play❤
Watching this with amazement! The greatest night in musical history
thats what is what is all about rip ronnie
I met Richard when I was 10 yrs old on Brunswick st in Stratford at my cousins house 😢
That’s amazing. What a cool memory to have in the bank. I went to the same high school Rick went to… about 50 years later though. I got into The Band after college. I can’t believe there’s no Danko statue out front of the school.
the Band was one of my life changes
Not in very good shape myself. Just buried the love of my life
My sympathies Gayle. Wishing you strength and peace. 🙏 Kim
The Heavens are surely Howlin...RIP Ronnie 'The Hawk' Hawkins...
rik danko was always my favourite, luvluv
Greatest concert movie ... until stop making sense.
RIP Ronnie. Gonna miss ya mightily.
Jerry Lee Lewis, The cousins Hawkins, Dale and Ronnie are the progenitors of what came to be known as Southern Rock.
When I first heard this talented band- I thought Robbie was doing most of the vocals- until I found out how talented Richard, , Levon and Rick were!
THANK YOU!
Great version!!
RIP Robbie Robertson.❤❤❤
RIP Ronnie Hawkins
RIP Ronnie Hawkins.
Damn that Robbie could play.....
Will always love and miss you guys. ❤️🔥
Big time, Bill! Big time!
Big time Bill! Big time!
Big time talent❤️
man, men used to have such great hair
90% of the money I made I spent on drugs and women. The other 10% I just wasted. Ronnie Hawkins
Wasnt that George Best of Man United? Similar mindset.
Wouldn't we all 🥳🥳🍻
Garth in the back wanted in on it 🔥🔥listen🤘🤘
Rip Ronnie
That was fucking epic 🤘🤘
saw Ronnie at the Cave in Vancouver the last show ever.
To look at this earlier recording just look what it did to Levon, he went gray to gone. The little time they had on the stage will last a lifetime
Anyone know what rig robbie used?? His tone is sick and his guitar pkaying is professional as it gets
Deluxe Reverb or 2x12 version of it whatever that’s called. Possible Tube screamer.
The Hawk!

Who’s the werewolf on keyboards
The great late Richard Manuel! Although he ain’t in the best of health here..

I don't get why Robertson didn't want them to continue without him.
In interviews Robbie gave late in his life he stated that The Band at that point was no longer performing as well as before with drugs and alcohol taking a toll. He probably felt that subpar performance would continue if they kept going. The Last Waltz film was taken from their last 5-hour concert with all their friends.

THE BAND!! Why bother with a NAME just be simply THE BAND very smart its much better that NO NAME BAND!!
Man, what a great performance...until Ronnie Hawkins comes out and ruins it. Geez
They were The Band because of Ronnie. Get your head out of your ass, Matt.
ahhahahaha
Hey Matt that's my Cuz--and he trained all those guys in case you don't know
@@andrewbicseymusic I can be trained by Jimmy Page, but if he came out drunk and ruined my gig I'd be annoyed.
