Thank you for sharing such a positive memory. I found The Band when I was 16. Only 20 years ago and it bugs me I wasn't around to be able to appreciate them at the time. Rick is my perfect guy ;) think Levon is awesome, Richard has the most soulful voice ever and Garth is a bloody genius! Xx
I Knew Rick Very Well,He Spent A Lot Of Time In Niagara Falls Ontario Canada,I Saw Him Last Time 1999 Union Hall Niagara Falls,We Are At Marks House,Rick Gave A Gold Record To Mark,Wrote Some Funny Lines On CD's For Me,We Partied A Little To Hard That Day And Night,He Is Resting In Peace.
I will always love the music of The Band. It was great seeing Rick, Levon and Garth still looking good and sounding good into their 50's. A nice crowd here commenting on the video. I share their enthusiasm. AND the rest of the backup band Richard Bell on keyboards, Jim Weider on guitars, and Randy Ciarlante on the drums and vocals did an amazing job too. I give them a lot of credit for their musical talents. All in all it was a wonderful show to see! I am glad I watched and gratefu that this video exists. Thank you.
Jonas Fjeld, eh? That's a great later interview with Rick outside, preshow, having a blast being the sweetest person as he can be & happy to talk to anyone who has the time & wants to!
I listen and watch almost daily ,it picks me up,something I look forward to almost like a treat or reward ,love this band above all ,all so talented nothing to say bad about any of them.it took all of them to give so much of themselves ,,and they did ,,god bless all of them ,marci. British Columbia Canada
Rick was such a great fellow. years ago he had a car wreck and wandered around hopurs before being found they found his neck was broke but no permanent injury....levon also a loss that can't be replaced..
Not sure Rick wandered around for hours, no permanent injury, but left him in pain for pretty much the rest of his life, which I think contributed to his addiction to heroin.
Thank you for this treat I love to listen to the Band at high high volume. You can't beat a rumble in the alley u don't know the shape I'm in I love the shape I'm in Greatest song but they're all great aren't they 💘 Love ya Levon
Difficult not to like these guys - their groove, style and sound is just terrific. A friend of mine tried to introduce me to The Band bakc in the 90s, but it was not until I some years later looked up The Last Waltz on youtube, that I was completely sold. And have been since. As a kid (I'm from 66) I worked hours in a discotheque of a radiostadion and can vaguely recall some of the older guys mentioning The Last Walts - so it was there stored somewhere in the back of my mind. Still haven't figuered out the drama between I guess especialle Levon and Robbie. But it beats me, that Robbie apparently took off with all the royalties. Even though he's of course credited for the most known songs. There may be some kind of explanation that we don't know. According to Robbie in some interview he and Levon were reconcield before his passing. Well anyways, fantastic music and personal characters.
Won't get into it, but was good friends with Rick and Levon and with them passed, Robbie can say anything he likes. Wouldn't believe a word of it! Knew Levon too well to ever think and know he would reconcile with Robbie
From the way Robertson told the story, Levon was already in a coma when he visited the hospital and "held his hand". Nothing about a reconciliation, only Levon's family allowing him to say goodbye.
Randy is a hell of a drummer, only slightly overshadowed by a legend here. Good singer, too. He was an excellent addition to The Band. I hope he’s doing well these days! I always thought that Randy, Jim, and Richard Bell did a splendid job of supporting the others. Had the pleasure of seeing them in Chicago in April of 94...wished that I’d seen the “original” Band as well (Richard Manuel is my all time favorite male vocalist)...but loved that show!
Wow, this mix sounds fantastic but you forgot W.S. Walcott Med Show at 18:00 in setlist, just cause I'd rather die happy than not die at all! Thanks for posting!
Check Garth out! Man do not get me wrong I love all the guys. I met Garth once in Providence RI before their gig at Lupo's and he hung out with us and was a cool guy. I was umm like 17 - changed my life
Saw The Band in Chicago in April of 96, and sat about 10 yards away from Garth. As a self taught keyboardist, I often joke that I’d give my right arm to have a tenth of Hudson’s talent.
@@def717 I believe he was diagnosed in 98’. You can find interviews of all the bands members referencing hardcore drug dependence at some point or another. All the love for each of these gentlemen.
I think they could All fill-in for the other one (& has before in the early days)! These are multi- instrumentalists! It's all about math time, counting, keeping time, fractions and division. Instrumentalists‽ Ha! Gimme one! Any of these'll do fine!
If rr hadn't stolen rights and broke up the group ('it's a bitta promotion and when we come back, it'll be better than ever'), Richard would've been there & there'd be only 5 BAND MATES doing it as they are in our eyes. Rick's talking about the time recording the RFA LP (s) with Jonas Fjeld, Eric Andersen & playing the extended circuit that trio played in promoting the first LP (& maybe for One More Shot's live show on cd2-?). If new to you, get some. Think about Birthdays and Holidays and loved ones, bosses, drug, drink, hanging out pals. This is about the best they were after Richard took rrs thievery personally & as one should. Never sign legal papers until your own guy's gone over them and for the record, so to speak, as your legal rep- with responsibility for what they're doing, saying, suggesting as your legal Rep. [>> Bless & RIP: Richard, Rick, Levon {& I presume} John Simon as well as the great Bobby Charles for having written (or cowritten..... if it's true-. , ,, ,:( Rick Danko- 'Small Town Talk') ahh BLESS'M ALL !!
Crazy Mama is one of the few tracks where I've noticed Lee playing bass, at least in recorded concerts. But all of the original Band members were big time multi-instrumentalists, except Robbie, who really stuck mainly to guitar.
@@nicholasfurnari8691 that’s why I like these guys so much because they wouldn’t stick to one instrument they’d use many different ones and just love the variety
Thx, something went wrong, it was not like that when I uploaded video. I made some editing because of copyright claim, maybe then something happened to sync. I'll try to revert changes, maybe it will resolve things...
Yeah, there are quite a few 1994 shows of them on youtube, his energy is usually higher and sings them with more power, he's really slow here, especially on their version of Atlantic City, compare that to the Letterman performace the same year, very different.
Rick Danko was one of the coolest people in Rock history.
Was good friends with Rick and Levon and yes they were younger in their heyday, but their talent never waivered. Miss you Rick every day❤

Rick Danko man
Rick!
The group of musicians who collectively were known as The Band were timeless already in the 1960s. Merci for this video.
God bless Garth...
I was on stage doing a handheld camera beside levon helm sing the Weight on a Canada day special 1994 in Ottawa What an honour !!!
Many comments about how great the production was. Merci beaucoup.
TOTAL GREATNESS
It Makes No Difference is the greatest torch song of all time
OMG the quality of this production is tops!!! Super camerawork

Thank you for uploading this is pure magic. Fab sound and close ups❤️
Thanks for this beautiful film. What a lovely band. Ever notice how they become kids when there playing. We should learn from that. Bless
Loved and love them all, such great musicians! thank you for this post!
Thanks for listening
Thank-you for this!
Thank you for this treat

This is a great Band concert and the audio and video is perfect! Thank you. I just subscribed.

Robbie was and is a great guy. He didn't take off with anything just his reputation!
Love Levon and nephew Randy playing off each other--and who says two drummers in a band doesn't work?
Randy is a hell of a drummer, only slightly overshadowed by a legend here. Good singer, too. He was an excellent addition to The Band. I hope he’s doing well these days!
I always thought that Randy, Jim, and Richard Bell did a splendid job of supporting the others. Had the pleasure of seeing them in Chicago in April of 94...wished that I’d seen the “original” Band as well (Richard Manuel is my all time favorite male vocalist)...but loved that show!
Funny: I always thought that The Dead were enhanced by having 2 drummers as well.
Love the track list!!
Levon beginning his first decline a little bit here.

Is levon alright? Thanks for the post!
chrispywilliams1992 He doesn’t seem like his usual self here does he?
Levon died in 2012 of throat cancer.
@@def717 no shit. what’s that got to do with this performance? It’s 18 years

@Twilight 8368 Battled with crack long before he had cancer. This knowledge is commonplace. Sorry you weren’t aware!
Robbie who?
Wasn't there a stepbrother named Robbie? Went toooooo Hollywierd to chase an ego...and The BAND played on!
Is Levon playing bass on crazy mama? Never knew he could play bass

@@ZvonimirBucevicBuc I really hope so, this footage is something else. Thank you for uploading this anyway, much appreciated!
I fix it, now is synced
Why did Rick let himself get so far????
Levon sound like he took one too many Vicodins 😞 very very rare to hear him sound bad. He was only human though
Yeah, there are quite a few 1994 shows of them on youtube, his energy is usually higher and sings them with more power, he's really slow here, especially on their version of Atlantic City, compare that to the Letterman performace the same year, very different.
This could have been early start to his illness.
Fantastico!!! This is New to Me and I really like it!!! TheBand
Watch The Last Waltz..! 1976. Levin hated it but it was a great show! Last appearance of Robbie Robertson. Than God!!
Thank you Zvonimir....nostrovia živali
Follow the bouncing Rick Danko!!! ♥️
