To see him so young in this movie (of course I also watch this back then, in a movie theater though). So young.. and it was the end-of-an-era concert. Too young!
My dad was at this show, 3rd row. He saved the poster and original program, and watched the DVD at least once a week. They served a full thanksgiving meal before the concert and tickets were $25, which was expensive at the time, but hey it included dinner! Sadly he died of COVID about 2 months ago - this song would've played at his funeral if we had one. Miss you so much ❤️
My Mom Wasin't THERE - But She Got me into The Band, & OTHERS from the 60ies-70ies. When I was 14, I got the nickname "Hippy" cause all my friends were Rock'n'Roll Metalheads - into Slayer & Stuff. I listened 2Early Stones & THIS Album(Last Waltz), Janis, Beatles.....Ya Know What I Mean. Once in a While I'll Listen to the OLD Metallica - cause I heard that TOO, But Happy 2STILL B A Hippy in 2021!! 😊✌🎶
No matter how many bands they gather together for today's music festivals, nothing will ever match the talent and sheer greatness of what we see here on stage.
That's why whoever remixed this in recent years, felt it necessary to sweeten it with rousing applause at certain points. The original record didn't have all this cheering. They don't realize this material doesn't need to be sold like all the other s*** today.
If you like The Band, you should check out Ursa and the Major Key. They have a song called Only The Sky Is Blue that sounds pretty similar to The Band, and their whole album is influenced by The Band, Floyd, Grateful Dead, Beatles, etc.
I had this conversation with my daughter today. I asked her who would be on stage from the 90's (her teen/20's). She started giggling and said, "All the boy bands-NSYNC, The Boys On The Block, Menudo..." Actually I think the 90's would have a good line up with Soundgarden, The Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam...but no, no group of singers will top these singers here on stage. They had a staying power that remains to this day.
I just love Rick Danko’s voice. They all had such uniquely beautiful voices. I think I love Levon’s voice, then I hear Richard Manuel, then I hear Rick. Then the music writing and lyrics, then the way they all play together. It never gets old. I loved them in high school and still so many years later.
Robbie Robertson of the Band has died after a long illness, on Aug 9, 2023. He was 80. Guitarist-songwriter-singer, he worked extensively with Bob Dylan and Martin Scorsese. RIP.
Best rock-n- roll movie ever produced in my opinion, all that talent in one place at one time, forget about it. Never to be matched again god bless them all and thank you for this show.........peace
What a collection of talent. Talent on a level that we may never see assembled on one stage together again! This song has a different meaning for me tonight! Rest Easy Robbie🙏🏼🎸😢…that band in heaven is going to be awesome to see some day!
This song really shows off how Dylan was not just a great writer, he had a fantastic voice, he carries the song with a much higher pitch, but its not overwhelming, it complements the layers of instrumentals and vocals, I think this song/The Last Waltz in general is peak Dylan vocals, damn...I wish I was alive then.
I agree - Dylans' voice was at its peak around that time. But I love his voice in general. His voice - being not "Beautiful" in the way it is for other singers - was what made HIS songs so GREAT!! His voice is honest & really IS, a BIG part of his sound. It HAS changed over the years, but that happens when ya sing as much & for as long HE has. It has OBVIOUSLY WORKED for him VERY well. A PERFECT voice for the MUSIC that HE Wrote & Performed. Beautiful.
Ron Wood said that he and Ringo were just watching the concert and the promoter just dragged them up there. There was another drum set up there already as Neil Diamond had his drummer playing along with Levon Helm during Neil D's song. Whose guitar was Ron playing? Don't know that one.
Sublime sublime sublime!!!! What a line-up .... Joni, Bob, Eric, Neil, one of the Beatles, one of the Stones, Van the man..the Doctor. I love the Hawk too .... pity Richard Manuel didn't get a spotlight moment for five seconds ... I love love love .. The Band so much ... 3 amazing (different voices) Levon, Rick and Richard (RIP) OMG ... I'm so grateful for The Last Waltz .... this is, without a doubt, my all time fav concert .... Thank you Mr Scorsese ;)
Bob Dylan is a genius for this. In “I shall be released” he says “I see my light come shining from the west down to the east. Any day now I shall be released.” the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, therefore he’s in the latter part of his life, turned towards the East, reflecting on the past as the sun sets behind him, which signifies the “light shining from the west down to the east”. Great stuff so much depth here.
When I was 21 years old (22 years ago), I spent a single day in Orleans Parish Prison, it was a case of wrong place wrong time/mistaken identity of which I was compensated with a settlement check a couple years later. Still it was one long scary day. When I woke up in the morning I saw the sun from the skylight shining on the west wall and at the end of the day it was shining on the east wall. This song was in my head the whole time and I always wondered if this is what Bob meant. Anyway 'I saw my light shine from the west down to the east' and that's what it means to me even if that's not what it meant to Mr. Zimmerman.
Rip Dear Robbie.. I was only six when this masterpiece was created but I have watched it 27 times since then.This Mark's the end of great music.Long live class of 76.May God welcome you into the gates of heaven. You are a young man now and your Mom and Levin have been waiting on you. my prayers for your family.
Richard was pretty much ignored in the movie, but for a brief moment here we got to hear that beautiful voice of his. At least we got that. Rest in peace, Richard.
Snake Stabler I know! I'm trying to educate how wrong it is. Manuel sings a verse alone, and he doesn't get screen time once. It's the freaking grand finale of the show and they don't even display all of the band members?
All the talent, all the legends on that stage at that time in their prime. Yet behind them at his piano sits Richard, the sweet, half broken, fallen angel. And for one gorgeous verse he owns all of it.
@@Pippie5555 I find this version of this great song fascinating. It's not the best version by a long shot - a bit too sloppy. But that verse where Richard takes it and all the giants step back in a clear sign of respect, is a beautiful moment.
They say everything can be replaced They say every distance is not near So I remember every face Of every man who put me here I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released They say every man needs protection They say that every man must fall Yet I swear I see my reflection Somewhere so high above this wall I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released Now, yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd A man who swears he's not to blame All day long I hear him shouting so loud Just crying out that he was framed I see my light come shining From the west down to the east Any day now, any day now I shall be released 💙
+MrDJCoulton and you could go on and on.... A show where everyone was over the top talented... What a show.. I've watched it about a hundred times in my life.
Once a week we had an open stage at the local pub, free drinks for the performers. At the and of the evening, we did this song all together. Happy days.
What a massive amount of talent on one stage! I'm pretty sure all of them are Rock & roll hall of famers now. I see a lot of comments thinking Clapton was singing the 2nd verse. That was Richard Manuel. Unmistakable beautiful voice!! Probably the best concert film ever done. One can only imagine what the after party was like! Yikes!!
no way man, Joni Mitchell easily ranks on this lineup. Most underrated performer in history, fabulous voice, terrific songwriter. Not everybody's cup of tea but definitely overlooked for no good reason. artistically better than almost all of these people.
What a monumental moment in music history...Martin Scorsese made one hell of a film...the sound and cinematography is just phenomenal for that time period!!
So, so sad to hear of the passing of Robbie Robertson What a beautiful person and outlook he always had! Always respected by the top music people…simple. His quote ‘It’s a Goddam impossible way of Life’ I used to listen to this many times! And a smile at the end gave me inspiration! Workable! You released now …
Some how, Some way WE the people have to stand up with courage, dignity and honor. If we as a people cannot find a way forward then we as people, have lost OUR way.
Well said!! At one point, most Rock'n'Roll stars did drugs & being messed up was "cool.". I wanted to be a Rock Star (when I was young), & I romanticized the "Disease of addiction." Lucky for me, we never met anyone who sold anything other than weed, so I was safe until I "grew up.". By then, OTHER drugs WERE AVAILABLE, but there was no more "Romanticizing" of them anymore, because SO MANY of the "Stars" whom I had "looked up to" had died because of OD's. It was certainly NOT cool anymore.
Likely there never will be....I'm feeling damn glad to have gotten to grow older with SO many great artists, many still here.... it's been & still is a great run
I've returned to this performance countless times. It touches me in so many ways. As a full time musician myself, Robbie's words in the interview really gets to me. I can relate to that stare and the smile, there's nothing to do but to move forward and keep playing. It will be incredibly tough at times, but in the end it really is worth the effort and it will bring you unforgettable moments of adventure and friendship.
So great , this that music then ! Me now 71 years old and seeing and listening this beautiful music! Al those artists together ! Tear s in my eyes and heart! Bravo and so lucky that I this remember from so many bands ? Isn’t it ?……….thanks for that All those musicians ! Wish them luck and happiness , health and thanks for the music and watching these movies! On my I-PAD , 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰
@@hannejeppesen1809 You're correct. Richard was apparently very drunk that evening, and generally wasn't well. If you watch the whole film, he doesn't appear on screen a whole lot. I didn't know he requested not to be filmed much, but it doesn't surprise me.
@@channelcheddle Not sure he was very drunk, Robbie wrote in his book, before the went on stage Richard put out his hands and they were not shaking too much, if he was shaking he needed a drink. Robbie wrote something like just a few hiccups here and there nothing to sweat about. Richard said himself he didn't want to be on camera much. Sad he was so talented, as was Rick both kind of self destructive Richard more than Rick.
What a soulful rendition of a great gospel song. The grand finale of some of the very best music and memories ever. Thanks so much Hector for sharing this incredible footage of a timeless moment. ❤
Richard Manuel, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Muddy Waters, Dr. John, Bobby Charles, Ronnie Hawkins, Paul Butterfield, and Robbie Robertson Your voice and performance will forever remain in our hearts. Robbie R.I.P
Awesome group of musicians, it saddens me when I see some that is no longer with us. I'm glad my 8 year old granddaughter wants to hear this music and know who these artists are. She also asked me, PawPaw whose going to get all your records and stereo when you die ,I told her it's hers if she wants it . She said ok ,that mad me so proud, I know she will listen to them and know who they are and think of me and her Nana playing them for her while dancing through the house with her, makes a PawPaw proud.
Robbie was more than just cute he was gorgeous, movie star looks, and lots of charisma. Rick not bad looking either. Like all The Band members, but when it comes to looks I have to single out Robbie and Rick.
Yes, you are right Robbie was self made. Grew up with a physically abusive stepfather, never knew his real dad, who died before Robbie was born. His stepfather discouraged him from dreaming about becoming a musician, fortunately his mother was more supportive, if not for her, we might never had heard of Robbie Robertson. Robbie wrote in his book, we weren't poor, poor, but we were not middle class either.
@@hannejeppesen1809 He seemed mellow and smiling when he played and his attitude never showed his past upbringing as a chip on his shoulder at least to the audience. We need more people like him.
@@divalivingston1664 No I don't think Robbie had a chip on his shoulder. He wrote in his book, we were not poor, poor, but we were not middle class either. He also wrote music became his escape. He was 13 when his mother had enough of the abuse, since Robbie's stepfather would beat them both, after he gave them both a black eye, she had enough. That is when she told Robbie his real dad was Jewish. He became close to his to uncles, he was close to his mother, and she was very supportive of his musical ambition.
Even though I'm a millennial just in my 20s discovered Bob's writings from my Uncle's old diary where his lyrics were written and since then I've only fallen in love with his work more and more and more. It gets more endearing with time. Wish I was born in your era. I love you legend Bob Dylan 💙❤️
INCREDIBLE with Bob Dylan,, love that song. I shall be released.. my mantra.. but apparently it is taking longer than I thought.. I remember singing that in my 30s and here I am.. in my 60s. :) yup wow. and going down the list, Janis, Buddy Holly, Elvis.. and listing the people gone, I saw Janis Joplin too.. didn't get to see Elvis ..
I saw it in a walk in moovy the..ate..her when it first came out in the 70's. I had been a Band fan for a while. It was stupendous. I am glad you liked it, Tanner.
But people always say the "dylan can't sing" nonsense, yet he's got one of the most unique voices in music history, it's the whole package with dylan it's his phrasing it's how malleable his voice can be to how he wants to sing that song in that moment and the lyrics, he's had many different vocal styles over his career you can't put him in a box and the people who don't get it just want to put him in that box but they can't so the only way they deal with how they can't put him in a box is that oh he can't sing, one day they will find out real music isn't about the ears it's about what it can transfers to the heart,soul and mind.
I Love it TOO!! To those who think he isin't a Good Singer - I Call BS Cause It Is REAL - & From His SOUL!! His songs would NOT Have Made the Same IMPACT with any other Voice. B Real & B Yourself - Love those Who Love & Appreciate You - & Not CARE about those Who Don't. That's How You Can SMILE - ALL the way Thru Life!!✌😊🎶👍
Stellar Line Up Stellar Music Stellar Performance Stellar Film If one could assemble all The Greats in Music that are Still Alive Today, one could perform another Classic Concert But "The Last Waltz" is Epic History.....That can Not be Duplicated Nor Topped Just Beautiful in Every Way
The best thing about those times is all those great musicians coming together, it just would never happen now, one of the best gigs weve witness to.. sublime.!!
We are all Neil Young looking on in complete astonishment at all of these legends singing one of the greatest songs ever written. That's why he's my favorite; he was not afraid of dropping the rock star pretense and showing pure childlike joy.
I saw this as a movie in a theater, great. Wish it would be played again on a big screen so I could share it with my children and grandchildren (makes me really old). But, all of them have experienced good music through me. Makes me happy.
Dylan is truly great. But the Band are every bit his peers. Did you know Dylan's first credited songwriting collaboration was with Richard Manuel? Did you know Clapton disbanded Cream after he heard The Band, and that at one point George Harrison quite the Beatles and went to hang out with The Band instead?
@@sambac2053 Eric Clapton did say he felt cream couldn't compare to the band BUT that was not the reason for disbanding cream. If you read his autobiography he had just got fed up with the whole supergroup thing; the touring and the infighting in the band. Every stop on the road he'd be calling management and saying I want to come home and they'd say just one more week . He also said that if he ginger and jack had been able to talk through their problems they may have lasted. So cream was breaking up anyway nothing to do with the band but Eric did feel that the band were the best and he even had thoughts of joining them . Driving up to meet them in his head he was joining them he said
@@davidmellish3295 . I saw Cream ,and Blind Faith,and another Clapton outing. I saw the Band,and I saw them with Dylan,and Dylan without them .I did read Clapton's autobiography. And several interviews, He went and hung out in Woodstock, wanting to join them. Robbie Robertson has talked about it too. Clapton also said when he heard them he decided the whole endless guitar solos thing was shallow,that he was embarrassed,and that what they were doing was real .
@@sambac2053 yes I'm not disagreeing with you that he said all that I was just saying that it wasn't like he heard the band then said that's it I'm ending cream. That may have been the straw that broke the camel's back but cream was on the rocks and breaking up anyway
I simply cannot watch this without crying
CooManTunes yeah, you missing it?
CooManTunes The Band is the greatest band ever. So shut up.
What are trolling here for, go back under the rock you crawled out from and leave fans of great music alone.
I wasn't criticizing the Band, you morons. :'D It's pussies like Oskar that I'm criticizing.
CooManTunes well you know, as they say; you are what you eat.
Rest in peace, Robbie. Thank you for everything. Enjoy the big waltz in the sky.
Farewell Robbie
Rip my friend, Robbie
❣✌
WELL STATED !
To see him so young in this movie (of course I also watch this back then, in a movie theater though). So young.. and it was the end-of-an-era concert. Too young!
My dad was at this show, 3rd row. He saved the poster and original program, and watched the DVD at least once a week. They served a full thanksgiving meal before the concert and tickets were $25, which was expensive at the time, but hey it included dinner! Sadly he died of COVID about 2 months ago - this song would've played at his funeral if we had one. Miss you so much ❤️
RIP to your dad...

Neil young is very close to Joni here how did Nash feel about that? 😅
@@leahflower9924 I'm wondering how Joni felt about it. She didn't look all that comfortable with him rubbing up on her.
@@janetb8839 Word on the street is that she hates Dylan. She clearly didn't want to be there on stage.
And it worked nevertheless. Great stuff!
Neil Young is coked out and creeping on Joni. Great song writer, piece of shit in life
Hey, Rick Danko. Thank you for everything. You won't be forgotten.
Richard Manuel's vocal turn is magical. RIP.
Is that the vocal on the second verse? Ty
@@JJ-gg4xm yes👍
I just love Rick Danko’s voice. They all had such uniquely beautiful voices. I think I love Levon’s voice, then I hear Richard Manuel, then I hear Rick. Then the music writing and lyrics, then the way they all play together. It never gets old. I loved them in high school and still so many years later.
The road took a lot of the greats, but you made it to 80. Rest in peace, Robbie. You are released.
Here, my fellows, is the epithome of rock and roll music.
Possibly the most epic rock collaboration in history.
Epic and awesome
I love their name, The Band !
Robbie Robertson of the Band has died after a long illness, on Aug 9, 2023. He was 80. Guitarist-songwriter-singer, he worked extensively with Bob Dylan and Martin Scorsese. RIP.

No we can never recreate that era so it may not get any better than that.
This song really shows off how Dylan was not just a great writer, he had a fantastic voice, he carries the song with a much higher pitch, but its not overwhelming, it complements the layers of instrumentals and vocals, I think this song/The Last Waltz in general is peak Dylan vocals, damn...I wish I was alive then.
I adore the Rolling Thunder Revue tapes and that was just a couple years prior to this. I felt like Dylan’s phrasing live made the songs so dynamic.
Brother couldn’t sing so well, but he had too much soul not to sound righteous.
I think fantastic voice is a stretch. It worked though
I agree - Dylans' voice was at its peak around that time. But I love his voice in general. His voice - being not "Beautiful" in the way it is for other singers - was what made HIS songs so GREAT!! His voice is honest & really IS, a BIG part of his sound. It HAS changed over the years, but that happens when ya sing as much & for as long HE has. It has OBVIOUSLY WORKED for him VERY well. A PERFECT voice for the MUSIC that HE Wrote & Performed. Beautiful.

What a performance of rock musicians who will never be surpassed. The Band was one of the biggest bands in rock history. And RIP dear Robbie.
They weren’t big. They were loved. But never had a a hit.

Richard Manuel's voice is hauntingly beautiful here. So much depth.
I can listen to Lonesome Susie over and over again
Don't forget Rick danko. Also a great voice.
I thought the same thing......I am the biggest BAND fan ever and I found he never sang better than that one verse!
SAME AS RICK DANKO, IT JUST DONT GET ANY BETTER !!!
@@allandonnelly6926 Yup. Levon too. The Band had 3 lead singers!!
This is perfect in every way, but what gets me most is Robbie Robertson's smile (and Neil Young's, too).
Robbie smile could light up the whole room. although in some of these clips it is sad, still a pleasure to look at.
Thank you Robbie and all the Band and Bob Dylan. RIP Robbie ❤

So I remember every face

From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
They say every man needs protection
They say that every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Somewhere so high above this wall
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released
Now, yonder stands a man in this lonely crowd
A man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shouting so loud
Just crying out that he was framed
I see my light come shining
From the west down to the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Once a week we had an open stage at the local pub, free drinks for the performers. At the and of the evening, we did this song all together. Happy days.
Damn! That would be epic!
Where was that? The reason I ask is because it's all being taken away you know
@@kenbranaugh8251 It was in a german Town called Freiburg. Don't you worry too much, things like this will come back if people act responsibly.
What a massive amount of talent on one stage! I'm pretty sure all of them are Rock & roll hall of famers now. I see a lot of comments thinking Clapton was singing the 2nd verse. That was Richard Manuel. Unmistakable beautiful voice!! Probably the best concert film ever done. One can only imagine what the after party was like! Yikes!!
I think it would have been awesome, I would have tried to pick up Dylan, it was hot 👍

This song will be played at my funeral. That I know.
no way man, Joni Mitchell easily ranks on this lineup. Most underrated performer in history, fabulous voice, terrific songwriter. Not everybody's cup of tea but definitely overlooked for no good reason. artistically better than almost all of these people.
RIP Robbie. Thanks for so much! 😔
Legendary and beautiful live version of this masterpiece. Bob Dylan is a genius and incomparable poet.
What a monumental moment in music history...Martin Scorsese made one hell of a film...the sound and cinematography is just phenomenal for that time period!!
2.30, Neil Young is just comically high
Hahah he's having the best time!
2:30 if anyone wants the link
Trippin' ha ha!
cosmically ?
he chose joni
Makes feeling music today should not even be called music. Just inconceivable amount of talent on that stage.
So, so sad to hear of the passing of Robbie Robertson
What a beautiful person and outlook he always had!
Always respected by the top music people…simple.
His quote ‘It’s a Goddam impossible way of Life’ I used to listen to this many times! And a smile at the end gave me inspiration!
Workable!
You released now …
Some how, Some way WE the people have to stand up with courage, dignity and honor. If we as a people cannot find a way forward then we as people, have lost OUR way.
Hi Kristin💐💐
Richard Manuel sings two lines and everyone turns to marvel at his skills.
100%.
Because he is the best singer on that stage
he SHOULD have sung the whole thing....
Actually the song was written for him to sing
like fucking cranks their necks in unison
I love watching smiling on Neil's face.
Neil always loves working with Bob.
Yeah that's great! I love Neil Diamond. And Neil Young too! x
Yeah he's havin a blast. It doesn't look like Joni trusts him though LOL.
Stuart I always thought she was just worried that chunk of coke from Helpless might hit her. Or she was just disgusted overall.
Check his nose
The Band, The Last Waltz, my all time fav< Been listening for 40 years & it still gives me the shivers, LOVE IT LOVE IT LOVE IT !!!
Lump on my throat. Seen this movie 100 times or more, and it always affects me. What talent I thank Sorese for making this concert history
Some of the greatest ever on that stage!
"The road has taken some of the great ones." I'm so glad I no longer romanticize the disease of addiction.
Amen
Lot of us as addicted to the lifestyle as the "stuff". Yeh me too ,took a while.
Well said!! At one point, most Rock'n'Roll stars did drugs & being messed up was "cool.". I wanted to be a Rock Star (when I was young), & I romanticized the "Disease of addiction." Lucky for me, we never met anyone who sold anything other than weed, so I was safe until I "grew up.". By then, OTHER drugs WERE AVAILABLE, but there was no more "Romanticizing" of them anymore, because SO MANY of the "Stars" whom I had "looked up to" had died because of OD's. It was certainly NOT cool anymore.
I cry every time my brother and I downloaded MANY the Band lost my brother 2 1/2 years ago stupid cancers I miss him so much
This was one of our favorites
THE Band, the last waltz, incredible music, incredible talent!!!!!! They just dont make them like that anymore!
Joni Mitchell said it best about today's 'music' - "There's no muse, just ick."
No they don't
Likely there never will be....I'm feeling damn glad to have gotten to grow older with SO many great artists, many still here.... it's been & still is a great run
They sure don’t one of the best bands ever
Very FEW at Best. There is NO Comparison to THE BAND - THAT'S 4Sure!!
Nothing like "The Last Waltz"... Simply the best.
I've returned to this performance countless times. It touches me in so many ways. As a full time musician myself, Robbie's words in the interview really gets to me. I can relate to that stare and the smile, there's nothing to do but to move forward and keep playing. It will be incredibly tough at times, but in the end it really is worth the effort and it will bring you unforgettable moments of adventure and friendship.
I feel that man, musician myself too ✌
So Loved "The Band", this is so special, I thankfully have a DVD of "The Last Waltz"! I Very nostalgically re-visit every now & then.
Hello Dana, How are you doing?
Rest in peace Robbie R, we love your legacy for ever
So great , this that music then ! Me now 71 years old and seeing and listening this beautiful music! Al those artists together ! Tear s in my eyes and heart! Bravo and so lucky that I this remember from so many bands ? Isn’t it ?……….thanks for that All those musicians ! Wish them luck and happiness , health and thanks for the music and watching these movies! On my I-PAD , 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶👏👏👏👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏🙏🥰
Richard not being on camera is an absolute tragedy.
He was not in good shape, didn't actually wanted to be on camera too much. RIck and Robbie were the 2 photogenic ones.
Yea seemed like a last minute change
it was about Robbie's ego not The Band
@@hannejeppesen1809 You're correct. Richard was apparently very drunk that evening, and generally wasn't well. If you watch the whole film, he doesn't appear on screen a whole lot. I didn't know he requested not to be filmed much, but it doesn't surprise me.
@@channelcheddle Not sure he was very drunk, Robbie wrote in his book, before the went on stage Richard put out his hands and they were not shaking too much, if he was shaking he needed a drink. Robbie wrote something like just a few hiccups here and there nothing to sweat about. Richard said himself he didn't want to be on camera much. Sad he was so talented, as was Rick both kind of self destructive Richard more than Rick.
One of my favourite musicians Robbie Robertson..... Look what he has created!
This song gave me hope at a very trying time when my son was incarcerated but he's still in when I hear it it makes me cry and still gives me hope
💙🙏🙏🙏💙 GBY 💙🙏🙏🙏💙
Good by Robbie Robertson and RIP ❤ ! Thanks to all the beautiful music you gave us.
was working backstage at this gig,,everyone knew it was special,,time as passed,,grown old,,thats the lucky ones,,
MrHarrytrout Lucky ☺
Wow!!! Do you have any pictures from that?!
I was actually singing, I am actually Bob Dylan, there, I'm better than you.
Neil Young smiling...priceless
What a moment of Rock'n Roll history! So many stars all around Bob singing with him, to say Good Bye to the BAND!
dose an old man good to see all these people from my youth together with so much positive energy
bruce levine yesss!
And, it does the same for an old lady!....
Sure Does Bruce - It Sure DOES!!
The Band was one cool group of gifted musicians. Real talent.
Oh that voice of Richard Manual, so plaintive and so good. What a line up on stage. Brilliant
What a soulful rendition of a great gospel song. The grand finale of some of the very best music and memories ever. Thanks so much Hector for sharing this incredible footage of a timeless moment. ❤
Richard Manuel, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Muddy Waters,
Dr. John, Bobby Charles, Ronnie Hawkins, Paul Butterfield,
and
Robbie Robertson
Your voice and performance will forever remain in our hearts.
Robbie R.I.P
Rip Richard Manuel!!! One of my all time favorites!!
The star power is unbelievable in this version of this great song!
This is What you Call a Loaded Stage in Every Aspect of the Word--Very Moving to this Old Man of the Sixties....
randy beard
😂
I share the same sentiment with you bro, I am shedding tears of joy being lucky to experience the 60's
Awesome group of musicians, it saddens me when I see some that is no longer with us. I'm glad my 8 year old granddaughter wants to hear this music and know who these artists are. She also asked me, PawPaw whose going to get all your records and stereo when you die ,I told her it's hers if she wants it . She said ok ,that mad me so proud, I know she will listen to them and know who they are and think of me and her Nana playing them for her while dancing through the house with her, makes a PawPaw proud.
🎉
Love it ❤
3:12
Watched the entire DVD twice tonight . And then came here for this song. Classic ....
I always thought Robbie Robertson was so cute. RIP to a self-made man. You were one of the great ones!
Robbie was more than just cute he was gorgeous, movie star looks, and lots of charisma. Rick not bad looking either. Like all The Band members, but when it comes to looks I have to single out Robbie and Rick.
Yes, you are right Robbie was self made. Grew up with a physically abusive stepfather, never knew his real dad, who died before Robbie was born. His stepfather discouraged him from dreaming about becoming a musician, fortunately his mother was more supportive, if not for her, we might never had heard of Robbie Robertson. Robbie wrote in his book, we weren't poor, poor, but we were not middle class either.
@@hannejeppesen1809 He seemed mellow and smiling when he played and his attitude never showed his past upbringing as a chip on his shoulder at least to the audience. We need more people like him.
@@divalivingston1664 No I don't think Robbie had a chip on his shoulder. He wrote in his book, we were not poor, poor, but we were not middle class either. He also wrote music became his escape. He was 13 when his mother had enough of the abuse, since Robbie's stepfather would beat them both, after he gave them both a black eye, she had enough. That is when she told Robbie his real dad was Jewish. He became close to his to uncles, he was close to his mother, and she was very supportive of his musical ambition.
I so love this Concert video. I watch it every year around Thanksgiving & Christmas. What an event !!!!!!!!
Hello Wilma, How are you doing?
Even though I'm a millennial just in my 20s discovered Bob's writings from my Uncle's old diary where his lyrics were written and since then I've only fallen in love with his work more and more and more. It gets more endearing with time.
Wish I was born in your era. I love you legend Bob Dylan 💙❤️
What a collection of music royalty...real musicians...never see a line up like that again...simply awesome and the song gives you goose bumps.
This is the epitome of what music is all about right here...can't top it
What about Justin bieber he an icon at such a young age and has a lot of charisma. He is the new dylan
@@andrewhindley7548 Just no.
INCREDIBLE with Bob Dylan,, love that song. I shall be released.. my mantra.. but apparently it is taking longer than I thought.. I remember singing that in my 30s and here I am.. in my 60s. :) yup wow. and going down the list, Janis, Buddy Holly, Elvis.. and listing the people gone, I saw Janis Joplin too.. didn't get to see Elvis ..
I have listened to this song countless times, along with the rest of the album. it never gets old or tired. so much talent on stage
The WORLD Would Not Be the Same Without The Band. It would B DIFFERENT - in Counless ways - and None of them Being in a GOOD Way!!
Fabulous and unique performance in the history of folk rock! With every star singing together one of Bob's most meaningful poem/songs!
It is TRULY BEAUTIFUL - & Unlike anything Else! I Will play this Album till the day I die.
Sitting here on the porch, with a whisky (Scotch), after dark, mourning my good buddy and huge music soul. Rock it for Carl, Boys!
This is probably the coolest thing I've ever seen
I saw it in a walk in moovy the..ate..her when it first came out in the 70's. I had been a Band fan for a while. It was stupendous. I am glad you liked it, Tanner.
Bob voice so unique and precious
But people always say the "dylan can't sing" nonsense, yet he's got one of the most unique voices in music history, it's the whole package with dylan it's his phrasing it's how malleable his voice can be to how he wants to sing that song in that moment and the lyrics, he's had many different vocal styles over his career you can't put him in a box and the people who don't get it just want to put him in that box but they can't so the only way they deal with how they can't put him in a box is that oh he can't sing, one day they will find out real music isn't about the ears it's about what it can transfers to the heart,soul and mind.
I Love it TOO!! To those who think he isin't a Good Singer - I Call BS Cause It Is REAL - & From His SOUL!! His songs would NOT Have Made the Same IMPACT with any other Voice. B Real & B Yourself - Love those Who Love & Appreciate You - & Not CARE about those Who Don't. That's How You Can SMILE - ALL the way Thru Life!!✌😊🎶👍
I just watched this, All I can say is WOW!!!!! What a gathering of talent. Wish we could go back to those good ole days when music was this good!!!!!
I always think of my brother who passed away on 6-14-22,i know my brother is in the Arms of God now
R.I.P Robbie. Thanks for the memories and great music...........
Stellar Line Up
Stellar Music
Stellar Performance
Stellar Film
If one could assemble all The Greats in Music that are Still Alive Today, one could perform another Classic Concert
But "The Last Waltz" is Epic History.....That can Not be Duplicated Nor Topped
Just Beautiful in Every Way
I first listened to the Band when I was about 15 or 16. Just love this version ! I'm 60 years old now 😀😀
Not Quite 60 Yet - But I Started listening to this at about the same Age - & Will Listen to it for "Hopefully" for MANY MORE YRS!!
The best thing about those times is all those great musicians coming together, it just would never happen now, one of the best gigs weve witness to.. sublime.!!
What a moment in the history of music, brilliant collection of musicians all in the moment.
We are all Neil Young looking on in complete astonishment at all of these legends singing one of the greatest songs ever written. That's why he's my favorite; he was not afraid of dropping the rock star pretense and showing pure childlike joy.
He's digging it, man. Probably the second best songwriter on that stage...and he's geeking out over number 1. I loved that moment too.
I saw this as a movie in a theater, great. Wish it would be played again on a big screen so I could share it with my children and grandchildren (makes me really old). But, all of them have experienced good music through me. Makes me happy.
So much incomparable talent in one video alone!
One of the great songs of all time. What a line up. I love The Last Waltz.
Dylan is in a world of his own like always LEGEND no one even comes close
Dylan is truly great. But the Band are every bit his peers. Did you know Dylan's first credited songwriting collaboration was with Richard Manuel? Did you know Clapton disbanded Cream after he heard The Band, and that at one point George Harrison quite the Beatles and went to hang out with The Band instead?
@@sambac2053 Eric Clapton did say he felt cream couldn't compare to the band BUT that was not the reason for disbanding cream. If you read his autobiography he had just got fed up with the whole supergroup thing; the touring and the infighting in the band. Every stop on the road he'd be calling management and saying I want to come home and they'd say just one more week .
He also said that if he ginger and jack had been able to talk through their problems they may have lasted.
So cream was breaking up anyway nothing to do with the band but Eric did feel that the band were the best and he even had thoughts of joining them . Driving up to meet them in his head he was joining them he said
@@davidmellish3295 . I saw Cream ,and Blind Faith,and another Clapton outing. I saw the Band,and I saw them with Dylan,and Dylan without them .I did read Clapton's autobiography. And several interviews, He went and hung out in Woodstock, wanting to join them. Robbie Robertson has talked about it too. Clapton also said when he heard them he decided the whole endless guitar solos thing was shallow,that he was embarrassed,and that what they were doing was real .
@@sambac2053 yes I'm not disagreeing with you that he said all that I was just saying that it wasn't like he heard the band then said that's it I'm ending cream.
That may have been the straw that broke the camel's back but cream was on the rocks and breaking up anyway
Never, ever, so much talent stood up together on the same stage. This is the pick of all times, and all times to come.
Thank you God for giving these people their talents. What a beautiful place they've made this world with their music.
Hi Beth💐💐
