@@jamiejohnson3886 And over the years, in spite of his brilliance in the recording studio... I have often come to prefer the 'live' version covers of his great recordings. Just another example of his genius and artistry..!!! God bless you, EC..! 🙏
Of course in remembrance to Robbie Robertson, but also I believe, from a style interpretation perspective, he was also playing it as a tribute to Rick Danko. Eric is a good man..!
I’ve been listening to Eric Clapton since the 70’s. My admiration for this great musician grows every day. His songs bring back so many memories of different times, love and loss, happiness and sadness, rockin’ and bluesin’. Many thanks to this wonderful music man.
Love that song. Loved THE BAND. LOVE Eric's version. Eric serves this song really well. And here is Eric at 78 years old performing outstandingly well. For me a true inspiration .
Robbie wrote the song and deserved the credit. Not taking anything away from Rick’s great delivery; Levon’s drumming, Garth or Richard. The magic was the entire band.
Cmon now. They made this magic together. Without each band member, this song might be floating in space, unheard. They were The Band and not to share the glory and the revenue this music provided, as what happened in the end, is so tragic to me. Especially when the other band members weren’t faring well. They ALL made it happen, each having their signature songs. ❤️
I watched The Last Waltz as a boy when it was released in Germany on my 10th Birthday 25.11.76. I had started taking classical guitar lessons 2 years prior.My dad took me…and there and then I decided what I wanted to do all my life….be a professional guitar player…..here I am 46 years later, a professional guitar player….

Don't speak any German, however when I heard this concert simulcast on the radio on Thanksgiving in my home near San Francisco in 1976, I heard something amazing happening, and I knew I needed to be a apart of something like this. I Began taking lessons the next year and I'm still playing all these years later ✌️
I was supposed to be here. But me and my girl Broke up. This performance just made me bell my fucking eyes out. This man just don’t know how to NOT be amazing ALWAYS. Damn.
That was beautiful - thanks for sharing. Really makes me miss Rick too. Often wonder how it would have went down if Eric got his wish to join The Band.
Great choice and his voice is pretty suited. Nothing beats Dankos voice and Robbies guitar style and Levons drumming but great tribute and Clapton actually sounds emotional for a change
Well if you think about it he has had his share of losses lately, his contemporaries people he's grown up with spent his career with, so yeah, I would think you'd be a little bit emotional about this time in his life. It's awfully nice of him to do this song in remembrance of him.🎶
It is..! Clearly, by Eric's vocals... and his guitar interpretation... it is a tribute to he who 'composed' it, and to the one who's vocals 'owned' it..!
Typical of Eric Clapton... he finds the way to make this cover a tribute to Rick Danko and Robbie Robertson while honoring also the entire group..! Thanks, EC... May God bless you..!
Eric has told about the time he first heard Big Pink, and how it made him realize he was wasting his talent playing 'kiddie music' as he called it with Cream. Said it changed the whole direction of his career. He always looked up to Robbie and what he did with The Band. ❤
Sorry to inform you that Eric Clapton never said he played “ Kiddie music “ with Cream !!!! Send me the proof. Cream was a jazz drummer, Jack Bruce a classically trained bassist and the blues guitarist, Clapton! When Clapton played with the Yardbirds before Cream he remarked that “ pop “ music and “ Top of the Pops” wasn’t his thing🎉
@@alexandercameron1977Hi, I did read that somewhere. I promise you I didn't make it up. 😉 In fact I remember that term specifically: either kiddie music, children's music or words to that effect. And he was hugely influenced by the Band's early albums.
True Rick Danko sang lead vocals on “It Makes No Difference,” though Robbie Robertson wrote this classic song by the Band. RIP to Robbie, Rick, Levon & Richard.
Andy Fairweather Low. Has been one of EC second player's for many years, especially throughout the 90s and early 2000s. Not sure why his current guitarist Doyle Bramhall is not with him on this short tour.
Blackberry Smoke do a faithful version of this..Baby Don't Do You Do It as well. And The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down..The Weight as well, although i think that one is an acoustic performance by Charlie Starr, BBS front guy. And while i'm at it, Charlie does the best It Takes A Train To Laugh I've ever heard. All on YT.

One of Robbie's most beatiful songs.
Rip Robbie. Rick. Levon and Richard.
Amen
I think Clapton did an admirable job covering this song, but there's only one Rick Danko, and I sure do miss him.
yes, Rick put so much emotion into this song. Check out Rick's version of Small Town Talk

Bobby Charles song
I hear u bro
Derek Danko had this down along with Stage Fright.
And Manuel
Clapton playing for the memory of a friend he truly loved and admired. 78 years old and still bringing it. Amazing!
It is hard to put into words, the inspiration this man has been, and continues to be. "May you stay forever young"
So true👍@@markmcmyn8967
Some of his best work has been done in Tribute to his friends who are no longer here & 2023 has particularly brutal

Wow Eric...beautifully sung and played for Robbie. Thank You for playing these great The Band songs to keep their legend alive!

Much appreciated delivery by one of the greatest tributing one of the greatest love songs ever written by his friend.

For a change..?!!
@@iconoclastKM to clarify, I saw him live and have seen other live video where he just seemed emotionally disengaged.
Danke Eric und Band
Ihr seid die beste Band und meine grossen Vorbilder.
Perfect tribute. Perfect song ❤
It was great show, I had so much fun
Loved it , I stayed sober so I didn’t miss anything getting up to use the bathroom or get more drinks , lol
God is still young and keep on playin like.....always
Hey out there ❤
Wow!
This should be a tribute to Rick Danko.
Absolutely!! Danko’s voice makes this song. What a great comment
Just lovely❤
It’s not ?
It is..!
Clearly, by Eric's vocals... and his guitar interpretation... it is a tribute to he who 'composed' it, and to the one who's vocals 'owned' it..!
Wonderful. ❤
Thank you!❤
Rick Danko's song. Nothing compares. Doesn't matter who wrote it. Even if Bob Dylan had written it.
Thanks! We 3 were there ❤❤❤
Typical of Eric Clapton... he finds the way to make this cover a tribute to Rick Danko and Robbie Robertson while honoring also the entire group..!
Thanks, EC... May God bless you..!
I pray that EC covers this number at the Crossroads Festival so that there will be a 'formal imprint' somehow..!
Reminds me of the Todd Rundgren song Dust in the Wind, for some reason.
Robbie
A great tribute to a great song. I wish only that they could have had Garth do his bit with the soprano sax.
* tears*
People who talk during concerts should be kicked out!
Drives me insane !!!!
Especially during the performance of this number..!

@@TimmyB707 I always thought Danko wrote it. Thanks for the correction
@@KittyCarlile-490Robbie did a wonderful job writing it, but Rick OWNED it!
Can anyone tell me the name of the guitarist to Eric's left? Such a great show!!
Andy Fairweather Low. Has been one of EC second player's for many years, especially throughout the 90s and early 2000s.
Not sure why his current guitarist
Doyle Bramhall is not with him on this short tour.
@@robmorrison1043 thanks very much🙏
@@robmorrison1043 I just don't know but I don't really miss Doyle 😂😅
Without Rick, that's about as good as can get.
And like the gambler says...
I thought Danko wrote it
No... he only 'owned' it..!
Brilliant cover by EC and his ensemble..!
This song and Cocaine as well as I'm your hoochie coochie man
Why got to a comcert and then talk?
Unfortunately there were three people that arrived late and talked throughout most of the concert. It was very disappointing.
repent the kingdom of our lord is at hand
Why are people talking, what an insult.
