Wow, hyper-critical bruh. This is an epic collaboration between two legendary groups, and all you got is some snark about the bass player/harmonizer extraordinare Rick Danko and Mavis Staples absolutely feelin' it?!? They're just cuttin' loose and caught up in the spirit of it all...how ya gonna dump on that?
Dude, that is a compilation of the finest singers and musicians ever to assemble anywhere. You dont have any idea what you just witnessed. You should see the entire video of The Last Waltz. It is indeed mind blowing.
The Band were one of the most influential bands from the 1960s and 70s, and this was filmed by Martin Scorsese when they broke up in 1976. The film, The Last Waltz, featured not only The Staple Singers but also Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, Dr John and many others.
Rick Danko sings the fourth verse while playing bass. This was Rick's normal behaviour. He's one of the great voices in rock. The Band had three lead vocalists -- Danko, Levon Helm (drums) and Richard Manuel. They are considered one of the greatest bands ever and one of the most influential. They changed the direction of popular music. Eric Clapton wanted to be a member but realized he wasn't good enough. The Band was considered Americana, Rock, Country, Folk Rock, even Gospel. Four Canadians and an American. They backed up Bob Dylan on a couple of tours.
The Band is a band. The Staples Singers is a band. This is from the movie, "The Last Waltz." That's Mavis picking up that second verse like the queen she is. And then her pop follows up.
@@oldschoolhip-hopheadriorea9178 actually the song is not gospel, it's considered folk-pop- with a slight nod to gospel infused by the Staples. The Band did the song originally, and the Staples joined them on what was considered The Band's farewell tour here.
This is from the movie "The Last Waltz" directed by Martin Scorsese and it documents the Band's last concert performance before they broke up at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on Thanksgiving Day,1976. Lots of musical giants of the era made cameos...Neil Young,Bob Dylan,Joni Mitchell,Eric Clapton and so on. The Staple Singers were invited to do "The Weight",but couldn't make the show due to scheduling conflicts,so The Band and some of the film crew later went to New Orleans and recorded the version you see here with The Staple Singers. And we now have this brilliance forever.
Two different groups doing a song in collaboration. Happens all the time. This a song written and recorded by The Band, but they included The Staples to join in on this performance.
Staple Singers were a premier Gospel family group. Mavis toured up to last year and I saw her! That’s Pop Staples coming after daughter Mavis. ❤ Back in our day , many groups had Black and white members. Check out KC and The Sunshine Band - “ I’m Your Boogie Man”- the hottest funkiest disco around!!!!!! Watch Mavis Staples and Mahalia Jackson together in “ Summer of Soul”!❤❤❤❤❤
Pops makes me happy every time I see him. This song in particular I just love his voice. It's so real and he reminds me of my pastor back in Jamaica queens when I was a kid.
The rendition of "That old time religion" is hilarious, Rick and his raspy voice kills it. He is stoned as I believe they all were. They were just goofing around, but their talent is one full display.
The Last Waltz was supposed to be The Band's last concert together. The Staple Singers joined in on this song and it was awesome! Great reaction to a great song!
This performance is part of the movie "The Last Waltz", but was not part of the concert, so was recorded somewhere else. There are some clips from the actual concert on UA-cam, notably, "It Makes No Difference". It Makes No Difference - The Band - The Last Waltz ua-cam.com/video/Q7yOGAmItFY/v-deo.html I lived on the San Francisco Peninsula from 1967-77 and this was the last concert I saw at Winterland. It was great to reminisce years later when I saw the movie. Now I see clips on UA-cam and enjoy seeing reactions to some of the performances. They opened the doors at 5:00 pm and it ended well after 2:00 am. I had seen the Band before, but this show with Dylan, Clapton, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Ron Wood, Ringo Starr and many other guest performers was epic.
Mavis was taking us to church young man. As a Caucasian sister, .... I got that. This was an era of music where collaboration and inclusiveness were the thing. Weve lost so much. Please, take it from an old hippie. We need to remember how to love and forget about hate.
This song has been around for like 60 years now. Another must-watch version is from 2012 Playing for Change. Robbie Robertson, Ringo Starr & a ton of artists around the world & it's another gem.
Almost all of these people are dead now. Robbie Robertson (guitarist) for "The Band" was the last living member, and he died about 6 months ago. Same for "The Staple Singers." Mavis Staples may still be alive, but Pappa, and the other sisters are gone, I think. This is just so good. From the early 70s, I think. Thanks
@@wreckingKREW1 Yes, Garth needs help getting places these days but once you help him get settled down in front of a Lowrey Organ, still magic. No one can play like him. Took a home entertainment center instrument (the Lowrey) and made astounding musical magic with it. Such an ear for harmony. You remove Garth's sound from the sound of The Band, and it's no longer The Band, it's just another band. A good band, but not The Band.
It was The Band, which was made up of 4 Canadian's and one American, the drummer Levon Helm. This is from their last concert, which is legendary, filmed by Martin Scorcese, at that concert they invited several guest musicians to join them. The Staples Singers, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Joni Michtell, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan. Look into more music from The Last Waltz and The Band, you won't be disappointed. The Chester verso is song by Rick Danko, who was one of 3 great singers of The Band. the other 2 was Richard Manuel and Levon Helm, the drummer. No Rick did not have Parkinson he was just a singer who put all his soul and feelings into his singing. Check out "It makes no difference" from The Last Waltz, Rick will break you heart with his rendition of that song.
Levon Helm was a great drummer,singer and he also was an actor.He played Loretta Lynns father in 'The Coal Miners Daughter'.He was in numerous other movies also.''The Band 'was the name,self named after first being Bob Dillions band and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame in 1994.
It's the Band, and the Staple Singers joining in. This was recorded at the last concert by the Band in San Francisco in 1976. The concert was filmed and has other joining the Band for their farewell tour. The movie is called "The Last Waltz" (1977.) Check it out.
The Band invited The Staples to do this video with them because The Staples were the first folks to record a cover version. It was released on their 1968 album Soul Folk in Action. I believe it was the first Band song ever covered by another group.
She jumped in at the end because it started to sound like the Band’s regular version which ain’t bad but it doesn’t have the extra Spiritual/Soulful vibe that this special performance has. Thanks for running the last verse and the Old Time Religion jam.
The bass player has nothing wrong with him! That's who he/the band was. Fully into their own music and playing from the soul. Some extra "stuff" may have helped that behaviour too 😂 but for the most part it was who he was. R.i.p Rick Danko
This whole concert movie "the Last Waltz" is definitely worth watching. Lots of artist came out to play with 'The Band" for this concert, their retirement concert. Martin Scorsese directed it. It might make a good reaction if you do long reactions.
"The Band" which is the name of that band (they were Bob Dylan's band and just called themselves The Band when they went on their own) are playing with The Staple Singers--who The Band invited to be in their movie--which people describe below. It is a song written by The Band's excellent guitarist, Robbie Robertson--who sadly passed away in 2023--a great talent.
lol, on the left on bass is the great Rick Danko and that’s just his style. He’s adorable. Watch anything he does, and you’ll see those are his mannerisms. Check out “It Makes No Difference” also from this same show, The Last Waltz. Absolutely beautiful.
That was Rick Danko's normal behavior. While most bassists play stoically and show little movement, Rick had what I call a "jangly" style with a lot of movement, sometimes called the Danko Shuffle. But you will appreciate his singing style and talents if you check out "It Makes No Difference", also from The Last Waltz.
Bill Graham was one of the most important promoters for live acts in SF during the heyday of the 60s. A consistent feature was mixing acts together that you might not otherwise expect. Lots of seminal blues/rock/gospel acts along with the up and coming hippie rock bands. I believe that's a part of the story for how we ended up with the Staple Singers and The Band on this tune.
The Band was all that you mentioned Rock and Roll, Gospel, Country, Soul. They had been Bob Dylan's back up band before they released their first album "Music from The Bid Pink, which was very critical acclaimed and caught the attention of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton. Their next album was called the Brown Album, which was great as well. Unfortunately at that time drugs started to interfer with their creative process. Robbie Robertson was the main song writer, he had 3 members, his 3 lead singer, Richard Manuel, Levon Helm and my favorite Rick Danko doing heroin. They continued on for several years and finally Robbie had enough, the drugs the car crashes, they all did drugs, but Robbie stayed away from heroin, and he wanted to stop touring before something really bad happen. Thus the Last Waltz, which is considered the greastest concert film of all times.
Wattsstax been on my list to watch for a while. I remember seeing the trailer and The Staples are all eating ribs in the backseat on the way to the show
I think it's already been mentioned - "The Band" is (were) an outstanding band and they were on tour with Bob Dylan for several years and can be heard on a few albums. Of course, "The Band" was a group that made music that stood on its own - "The Weight" was a song that appeared in the film Easy Rider (produced and created by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper) played and also became a hit. They make a few songs like "the night they drove old dixy down" or "stage freight" Just like other current ones at the time like “born to be wild” or “the pusher” from the band Steppenwolf. Best wishes @all from hamburg (germany)
The Band became legendary when Bob Dylan hired them as his permanent band ( Dylans musicians / bands are never really permanent. lol ). If you ignore Rockabilly and similar cowboy music, then The Band probably invented Country Rock as a genre......they definitely made it popular. The Weight was a feature song in the movie Easy Rider as was Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf. .. .the movie giving both bands a world wide supercharged fan base.
Fanny put a weight on him, she sent him to Nazareth, Pennsylvania to visit people he had never met. Obstacles began when he arrived, he couldn't find a place to stay the night, Carmen a person he was sent to see, left him with her friend the devil. Luke was waiting to die. Crazy Chester wanted him to take his dog, etcetera. By the end he felt like he was carrying a cannon ball in his bag, from the weight of the people he had met, "It's Miss Fanny who sent me here with her regards for everyone".
Don't you recognize Mavis Staples's voice from _I'll Take You There_? Oh, mmm, I know a place Ain't nobody cryin' Ain't nobody worried Ain't no smilin' faces, mm-mm, no no … Lyin' to the races
The Lase Waltz is the legendary The Band preparing for their last performance, with many guests. Many artists have covered The Weight. Aretha Franklin has a killer version.
You should sit down with a few music loving friends and family, watch Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece movie, The Last Waltz. He wanted to document the groups, farewell concert. They were joined by one or some of the best Singer, songwriters of that generation. You’ll enjoy it.
"But my friend can stick around" I've watched many reactions to this song. You're the 1st on to catch that line. Good on you. This track is from the Last Waltz. Look It Up. The Band's swan song, a concert at the Fillmore that included thanksgiving dinner. The artists that appeared with them are all legendary. From Muddy Waters to Neil Diamond. take a look.ua-cam.com/video/_csn7KtVeOU/v-deo.htmlsi=Wx2rDViRkQeADBKH
I looked it up after I did the reaction and yea it was a whole bunch of LEGENDS of all Genres in the bldg that night. And THE WEIGHT was actually performed AFTER the show in front of only 250 people!!! #LEGENDARY
Never commented on your channel. First time watching you. Here's a suggestion: Search Reactions to the Band and Staple Singers the Weight, and watch other reactors to this performance. Then watch yours. "Hahaha, look she's clapping thinking the others will join in and they didn't, hahahaha" This guy must have a handicap, hahahaha" Take some deserved criticism and do better by it. @@oldschoolhip-hopheadriorea9178
Bro, perhaps you should stay in your lane. Hip hop etc. Leave the actual music reactions to folks who understand music. Talented people entertain, the rest rap!
You concentrated on the performers and didn't listen to the song. FYI - Nazareth in Pennsylvania. The concept is to take the burden (weight) off of Fanny and put it on the main character. When he sees Carmen & the Devil, again taking the weight onto his shoulders. The main is a traveling soul who wants to help others. I understand this is your "initial" reaction but your focus on Rick & Mavis didnt allow you to understand the song. Your interpretation of Nazareth & the Devil lead you to believe this was Biblical. However there is a theory that the traveller is Jesus, but Robbie said it didn't go that deep.
Mavis Staple and Levon Helm( the drummer) stayed friends, and did concerts together up until his death from cancer.

It's hard to believe that Robbie is gone. He had such a powerful presence and aura. You felt his soul through his music.
Greatest American song ever written by a Canadian. Mavis is the GOAT.
Rick Danko sings the fourth verse while playing bass. This was Rick's normal behaviour. He's one of the great voices in rock. The Band had three lead vocalists -- Danko, Levon Helm (drums) and Richard Manuel. They are considered one of the greatest bands ever and one of the most influential.

Four Canadians and an American. They backed up Bob Dylan on a couple of tours.
Robbie did quite a bit of lead vocal as well.
@@Dr3amtime After he left the group.
Not sure Eric Clapton felt he was not good enough, but he didn't have the nerve to even ask to become a member.
I think he actually said it. And he saw first-hand how tight The Band was and knew he couldn't fit into that.@@hannejeppesen1809
They were with Bob Dylan for years. They were there when Dylan went electric. That pissed the folkies off.
His style is feeling soul in his way.
The Band is a band. The Staples Singers is a band. This is from the movie, "The Last Waltz." That's Mavis picking up that second verse like the queen she is. And then her pop follows up.
Also, Mavis is taking us to church with that clap. You don't have to join in (there wasn't an audience). She's there.
I'm there 😊
"Why'd she do that?" Taking it to church son.......
Sister Mavis is still spreading the word in song. Love when Pops comes in so smooth.
She's clapping because this is a gospel song. Listen.
I didn't realize it was Gospel song until I looked up the Staples Singers and saw they were a Gospel Group.
@@oldschoolhip-hopheadriorea9178 actually the song is not gospel, it's considered folk-pop- with a slight nod to gospel infused by the Staples. The Band did the song originally, and the Staples joined them on what was considered The Band's farewell tour here.
When you asked “Does this guy have any underlying conditions or is that his normal style? “ I fugging spit my drink out
Well, yes and no. Rick Danko, like everyone else on this clip is an original.
"Why'd she do that?" Because Mavis has soul for days.
This is from the movie "The Last Waltz" directed by Martin Scorsese and it documents the Band's last concert performance before they broke up at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on Thanksgiving Day,1976.
Lots of musical giants of the era made cameos...Neil Young,Bob Dylan,Joni Mitchell,Eric Clapton and so on.

The Staples also recorded The Weight in 1968.
Rick Danko is the singer/bass player and there may, or may not have been substances being used by members of The Band during this time. 😎
This is fire 🔥. Im only 37 with an old soul and the band the weight is one of my favorite songs all time. Love this song.
Staple Singers were a premier Gospel family group. Mavis toured up to last year and I saw her! That’s Pop Staples coming after daughter Mavis. ❤
Back in our day , many groups had Black and white members. Check out KC and The Sunshine Band - “ I’m Your Boogie Man”- the hottest funkiest disco around!!!!!!

THATS WHATS UP! He reminds of the Joe Cocker's live performance.

Well, I can predict that this channel won't be around long.
Can’t agree more. This is a classic from The Last Waltz and I can’t finish it due his reaction.
Mavis was feeling, “take me to church feeling”🤘❤️
I never tire of this collab between 2 legendary groups. I’ve watched it dozens of times.
This was written by Robbie Robertson
(double Neck Guitar). The Band was Bob Dylans backup band for a while. They are Americana.

Another couple of lead singer drummers are Don Henley of the Eagles ( Hotel California)and Phil Collins(Coming in the Air Tonight).
"Crazy Chester folllowed me" . . . he is playing guitar and taking on the character of Chester.

Thanks for the View & Comment!💩🤡
@@jamesmontgomery9523 wait a second, I've seen you commenting on some of my other videos...Thanks for the Hate, View & Comment!💩🤡
Never commented on your channel. First time watching you. Here's a suggestion: Search Reactions to the Band and Staple Singers the Weight, and watch other reactors to this performance. Then watch yours. "Hahaha, look she's clapping thinking the others will join in and they didn't, hahahaha" This guy must have a handicap, hahahaha" Take some deserved criticism and do better by it. @@oldschoolhip-hopheadriorea9178
I replied to your comment, but now my reply is gone. Must have been a glitch. @@oldschoolhip-hopheadriorea9178
That bass player is high as a damn kite. When you hear him talk, he sounds like a dumb jock, or Forrest Gump. He is (was?) an odd one.
The man was following Pops Staples. If he leaned in too far, can you blame him?
Dude is coked out of his mind. LMMFAO
Far from being funny, Mavis was simply employing a "church clap" pretty typical time-keeping (especially in Black churches). Fun, but not "funny".
This guy is clueless and classless.
💩🤡@@jamesmontgomery9523
Thanks for the View & Comment!
The worst most disrespectful reaction I have ever seen. Thumbs way way down
You sure have that right!
@@jamesmontgomery9523 I bet he watched the whole video🤦🏿♂🤣
💩🤡
HE WAS BORDERLINE RACIST....A 2 WAY STREET
Bro, perhaps you should stay in your lane. Hip hop etc. Leave the actual music reactions to folks who understand music. Talented people entertain, the rest rap!
One of the worst reactions I've ever seen.
At least you got a laugh out of it.
You concentrated on the performers and didn't listen to the song.
FYI - Nazareth in Pennsylvania. The concept is to take the burden (weight) off of Fanny and put it on the main character. When he sees Carmen & the Devil, again taking the weight onto his shoulders. The main is a traveling soul who wants to help others.
I understand this is your "initial" reaction but your focus on Rick & Mavis didnt allow you to understand the song. Your interpretation of Nazareth & the Devil lead you to believe this was Biblical.
However there is a theory that the traveller is Jesus, but Robbie said it didn't go that deep.
I love the band. Except Robbiet
