RIP Richard, Levon, and Rick. They were part of a group that had the stature to be called "The Band". Where some groups had one or two really talented members, the Band had all five members that contributed something truly unique to their music. I began listening to them in the 1960's and still listen to them today. Their music and souls are timeless.
Levon was the heart, Garth the musician, Rick had the ear, Robbie a spokesman/writer, but this guy, Richard - the "Beak", was the SOUL. I think 1,000 yrs. from now, when MUSIC is studied, the experience of these 5 guys will be discussed. Garth was the only guy that could read music - only guy that studied music. Richard sored as high as man can get, and as low - the price of genius.
Correction. Robbie was the bastard who wouldn't let anyone have a few dollars on song royalties. I don't think they did enough great songs to be discussed a thousand years from now. Maybe Neil Young or Dylan or Van Morrison. I kinda like We Can Talk written by Richard the most, better than Tears of Rage. Lonesome Suzie is real sad. I shall be released in great but a bob dylan song, and the the Weight and drove Ole Dixie down are good. Stage Fright is not a good album.
@@oppothumbs1 "The Weight" and "The Night They Drove Ol Dixie Down" two of the great songs those guys did - "Ya can't raise a Kane back up, when ya bend his knees" - the best description of the Southern Pride I've ever heard. My favorite is Richard Manuel singing: "I just spent 60 days in the jail house, for the crime of havin no dough, now here I am back out on the street, for the crime of having no where to go!" I've read "This Wheels on Fire" (Helms) and Robertson's "Testimony" and one other by a guy that wrote about the SF movie "The Band". Those guys were at the birth of Rock n' Roll and the electric sound phenom (and Dylan, of course) and I think that's why they'll be a part of music/art history a long long time from now. I think Robertson screwed the others out of royalty because he'd got a wife and two kids, hooked on the So. Cal. life style, wanted to settle down, big ego, and felt he needed every dime to live in Malibu and become a movie guy. He learned the "royalty trick" from the NY mob/music guy, and found a way to justify screwing his x-pals. The "royalty" thing is still going on today - live music, play the wrong song, and ya get sued.
It’s hard to believe that Richard could sing this high even after listening to his other songs in this concert where he has more of a blues voice. Very very nice performance for him. RIP Levon, Ricky, and richard
@@craigsimon7658. Winter Park, Florida. I’ve visited the hotel. And the circumstances may have been worse: I urge you to buy Joe Forno’s book, Levon’s Man. The true story is far more haunting. My all time favorite male vocalist.
Because in the Last Waltz his voice had practically diminished due to all the alcohol & drug abuse. Here he's actually capable of hitting higher octaves.
I agree with you, but actually the way he sings this on the studio version brings me to tears. Its the one song I prefer he sings higher, even though I also love it on the Last Waltz. But its heartbreaking when he goes high.
何回見ても泣けます。
マニエルさわ安らかに😢
I love watching Richard sing.
If I was told I could only listen to one song the rest of my life - it would be this one

30 years later and still moving… there's always been something about Manuel's voice that just reaches in and touches my soul.
Richard Manuel, too soon gone. RIP, Sir.
There's an art to singing falsetto, but even greater art to singing falsetto and making it sound this good. Richard Manual knew the greater art!
Richard Manuel was the heart of
The Band!

Beautifully said
Amen we’ll said
@@marvinsannes9397 "You can't raise a Kane back up, when he's in defeat " I think is the line. At least that's what I hear.
1:40 the way he sings "high" really gets me
We miss you Richard
Richard was the soul of "The Band"
richard manuel vocals just touch the soul!
大好きです!!!!
Man that is a beautiful rendition.
R.I.P Richard Manuel best vocals best pianist
Richard was a soul singer. RIP.
Chill bumps....RIP Richard!
It’s hard to believe that Richard could sing this high even after listening to his other songs in this concert where he has more of a blues voice. Very very nice performance for him. RIP Levon, Ricky, and richard
I love every moment I heard them from 68 until now.
manuel for me was the white ray charles...he was at the end of his run...died not to long after...R.I.P

This is profoundly sad
When the ol inspiration is running a bit low, i revisit this concert to watch him strive and try so hard.
The BEST !!
Sublime voice
😂グレイト！40年前に名古屋でみました。僕にとってバンドは魂です。
愛し合うべきThe Band❤🌎
I was there.
I get it, we all have different tastes but Richard had an amazing a voice ❤️
Thank You!
Soul music. ...
No doubt what so ever
He was months away from ending his life. He was falling and just couldn’t stop.
3 years later wasn't it?

Wow!
I gotta catch my breath!
Cryin again
ロビーがいない初来日公演なのよね…😞
I can see araki there
he realeased himself
richard where are u bro
Please, Richard -- don't do it.
I assume they made good money in Japan..why didnt they tour more there?
They were basically breaking even with 8 in that Touring Band.
Why does he insist on singing it so high? I prefer his voice an octave lower, like in The Last Waltz.
Because in the Last Waltz his voice had practically
diminished due to all the alcohol & drug abuse. Here
he's actually capable of hitting higher octaves.
Okay but he sounds a lot better in the lower octave :/
Joel Wallenius I here ya, I prefer Richards low hoarse sounding voice over his falsetto's sometimes as well.
I agree with you, but actually the way he sings this on the studio version brings me to tears. Its the one song I prefer he sings higher, even though I also love it on the Last Waltz. But its heartbreaking when he goes high.
That's how it was originally recorded
.I love America lettere dal Vietnam dal Film.
