I'll break it down for ya..... The lighter shade individuals are The Band. They are awesome. The darker shade ladies and gentleman are The Staples, a Gospel vocal group. Legends. This video is from a film called The Last Waltz directed by Martin Scorsese. The Band decided to break up, but instead of fighting it out in the papers they decided to have one last, big concert and invite every great musician they'd ever played with. So nearly every song is them with someone else equally legendary. It is worth a watch... most definitely. The "bonus" is more footage from the film. - Your GOAT in Thailand.
Staples Singers songs: - I’ll Take You There (this is the one you know even if you don’t know it) - Respect Yourself - Oh La De Da - If You’re Ready (Come Go With Me)
@Flying Cupcake I took friends to see Irma Thomas live once - they really didn't believe that voice was coming out of that person, so effortlessly was she singing :-D
No matter what you hear young buck, there has always been harmony with it comes to music! I don’t recall any these problems between different groups of people that you are facing today, we found common ground with music! Today many look to divide, destroy rather than come together, we all can learn from one another! With age comes wisdom, I pray yours comes sooner experiencing what we did 40 years ago when we didn’t see color we embraced differences! GOD love you brother
This was a merger between two super groups, the Band and the Staples. Normally just the Band sings this song but was joined by the Staples for this performance.
That woman is Mavis Staples, she's a legend, you should check her out. Also, check out some of Robbie Robertson's solo stuff. Oh and the drummer/singer is Levon Helm, R.I.P. Levon.
True, but they only sang with the band for The Last Waltz The Bands farewell concert which this video is from. The Band is my favorite group and The Last Waltz is the best concert film out there.
The best American Canadian band ever! Mr. Video. You HAVE to check out The Last Waltz where this video came from. Directed by Martin Scorsese and one of the greatest concerts ever filmed! Enjoy.
Ive watched that religiously for year. Perfection. Did you notice the cocaine rock in Neil Youngs section? Dude had a 40 bag banger in his nose hair. Fuckin hilarious
I saw the Band open for Crosby Stills & Nash at Colt State park in Bristol RI back in the mid 80's. Outdoors on Narragansett bay on a beautiful summer night! The band was AWESOME! Unfortunately David Crosby showed up late for CSN gig and then threw a tantrum on stage. I thought Graham Nash was gonna kill right there on stage! And there isn't enough great things to say about The Staples, stone soul groove brother! Fantastic reaction brother Mr. Video! This is a great ride we are all on. Blessed to be here! Thanks man!!!
@@jeremyleneave5618 It was funny to see Graham Nash walk halfway across the stage, and Crosby was acting like a child, arms folded across top of guitar with his back to the crowd, and the band. After about 10 minutes or so he started playing and the rest of the show he was fine. He had a big booze and coke problem at that time. That's why he was late I think.
Ain’t it the truth! I’m white as a cotton ball and have admired her for decades! The Staples are the “Icing On The Cake” on this tune for sure!!! I could listen to her and Pops all day, and I have believe me!
Where did Mavis come from, and all her sisters? POPS 🤬🤬 STAPLES, DAS WHERE! Pops will heal you in ways you didn't know you need my friend. He is GOD'S GOAT! I'm not a man of the book, but I SNAP TO when Pops starts talking. Bob Dylan asked Pops for Mavis hand in marriage. She said no.
Speaking of Bob Dylan. The BAND was his touring band when he went electric in 1965. They were booed everywhere around the world for over a year on tour. They got back together for a tour years later in the 70's and all the booing had turned into joy as the world fell in love with electric Bob & the Band! The BAND put out 8 albums, Bob like 80 lol( more like 40)
I got nothin against Rick,or anybody really....Levon and Robbie are just special to me, I met them when I was 7, during the festival express tour of Canada. Even got a couple hi 5's, so they stand out in my mind more.
@@smittyboy13 - Well done. I had to check my comment to see if I really wrote that :-) I have to say that I started watching this channel being somewhat annoyed by his bouncy behaviour. But that turned into appreciation because I saw how he lets himself be touched by the songs.
Mr Video,firstly ..great reaction, now you are listening to one of the great ones. The drummer is the coolest guy who ever walked the earth...Levon Helm, all were masters of their instruments... Check out "Evangilene" from the "Last Waltz: DVD.
Mavis utters one syllable and I have goosebumps. This is sheer magic. I could watch this and the whole documentary a million times and still feel that way.
Gotta do It Makes No Difference from their last waltz concert.. That song was Rick Danko's masterpiece and quite possibly the saddest song ever written.
@Mr Video I like how you react to rock music and metal music, but I humbly request you react to some of John Lee Hooker ( my favorite singer/songwriter ). He does great collaborations with Van Morrison and Canned Heat including many more but his solo stuff is great. His music is real old school, but for starters I recommend Serves Me Right to Suffer or I'm Bad Like Jesse James.
Absolutely a must!! My oldest son did a world tour with his son John Jr as his guitarist. I'll just say that I'm not as big a fan of Junior as I am of Senior and leave it at that. 😉✌️
This is The Band, as in "Oh, your band has a lead singer? Ours has 4." Plus Roebuck "Pops" Staples, Ms Mavis Staples, and the rest of the Staples Singers. Thanks for the amazing reaction to this awesome song, Mr. Video!!
OMG!!! This version is ah-mazing 🤩 Aretha Franklin and Duane Allman also cover this song... one of my personal favorites!! If you’re down for drummers singing then you should totally check out Anderson Paak’s Tiny Desk Concert! You’ll love it!
That "sister" came from heaven. she is an American treasure to be sure. And part of one of the oldest American family bands recorded (The Staples Singers). That sister is the one and only, FANTASTIC Mavis Staples.
Im indigenous and i absolutely love watching when the staples come on and see black people's face light up immediately when they feel that soul connection. That is what our culture calls spirit, and knowing how musically motivated our races are, its lovely to share and witness the same force.
Laughed so hard at your reaction to this song So great to see our younger generation finding these songs and falling in love with them like we did, this song will definitely get up on the floor
No matter what, music brings us all together my friend!!! Music will bring back memories bad or good. Music may change over the decades but it will always unite us! Love your reaction man
Saw Levon Helm in concert with Ringo Starr an his all star band. The rest of the line up was Joe Walsh, Billie Preston, Dr. John and Clarence Clemens. Got to sing the Weight with Levon. Damn what a show!
This is a great tune...thank you for you reaction and choice...The Band was Bob Dylan backup band, this was filmed at their last concert called The Last Walz, which you still can watch...its a movie...and on dvd...✌
I took my teenaged son to watch Mavis Staples play a concert at a local Jazz festival. He was hooked and made me watch The Last Waltz with him. Had a blast showing him some of the old greats and reminded him how good it was for him to be exposed to some of the greats.
The idea between a double guitars, is that they play in different octaves. This is awesome songs. Bands from the mid-to-late 60s and through the seventies, just laid it on down. This was the age of Aquarius the time to let go of the old and grab onto the new. Desegregation and all schools and public institutions. Changes in the way we thought about our government end the war in Vietnam. A time we all started looking more critically add nuclear power and power plants. It was the Cold War it was us versus Russia. The 60's and 70's world wild ride but I'm glad I didn't miss anything but seeing Janice in concert!
The legendary Mavis Staples! 💥 Too bad the last line gets cut after the drunken bonus track, where Robbie says “Well, it ain’t like it used to be!”😂 The Band were one of a kind- Old Time Religion, damn straight!
This was a clip from the Movie the Last Waltz. It is an incredible collection of groups singing with The Band on the occasion of their giving up touring. Groups and artists such as Clapton, Dylan, Neil Young, Muddy Waters, Van Morrison, Paul Butterfield, Joni Mitchell etc. It's will worth your time to look these up.
Bob Dylans old band who did their farewell concert filmed by Scorcese. "The Last Waltz", widely considered one of the, if not the the best music/concert movies ever made.
The Band (the pale people here) started out as a group of studio musicians who played backup for lots of famous people, including the Staples Singers (the guest artists here). They eventually went out as a band on their own and had several famous hits. This is the last concert from their last tour. Thirty some songs in a 5 1/2 hour concert with about 20 different guest artists. The Staples Singers, Bob Dylan, Niel Young , Muddy Waters, Niel Diamond, Ronnie Hawkins, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Dr. John, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchel, etc. A movie and an album were made of the concert but the producers didn't like how the original recording of this song went and re-recorded it in the studio later. That's what we're seeing here.
Thanks for doing this reaction, one of my favorite songs, too cool! Also, the Staples were featured guests. I had to add this, I wish there was more music like this, music unites, thank you.
I don't know why, but I did not expect this to be THIS FUNNY! You are HILARIOUS!!!!! I LOVE YOU!!!!! Got me at my J O B acting a fool!!! Now they going to try to make me do some work because I'm having too much fun 😑😂😂😂😂
You're just beginning on a great ride. The music back in the day was real music that's when people played instruments and came together. The kids wanted to take band to learn to play and learn to read music. Enjoy your ride.
When my father passed away everyone in my family got to pick a song to play at his funeral. This is the song I chose. It still hits me every time I hear it.
Sorry for your loss. Lost my dad 15 yrs ago. Mom just left this world to be with him again. Forever. They let my 4 brothers and I play our new albums on dad's Hi -Fi stereo. They discovered our music and taught us to love their music too...jazz, swing and the blues. I chose for mom's service It's a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong and for dad's it was Summertime by Ella Fitzgerald. They are still dancing I've no doubt. I get great comfort from my memories. May you find comfort in yours. Music helps so much.
I am a 60 yr old white guy that has loved the Band and enjoyed the Staples since I was a kid. Watching them on 60s and 70s variety shows. These two belong together, in the tree of music you can trace them back to the same branch. Incredible talent. But let’s concentrate on shit that don’t matter.
As your pillow says, When words fail, music speaks. This music has spoken to me for years, and I pray it will continue to speak to everyone. Also pray it speaks to me on my death bed!
Brother, Levon Helms....just pure greatness. It's beyond brilliant! Levon is the lead singer. RIP He also played Loretta Lynn's Dad in The Coal Miners Daughter movie.
I can't stop rewatching this! Mr. Video the difference in your face at 6:33 and 8:22 is priceless! You went from help me, lord to I'm here for it in record time. 😂😂
I love this reaction. You know there is a whole album, " Rhythm, Country and Blues" of similar songs. BB King, Staple Singers, Aaron Neville singing with country artists.
The "Band" is singing with the group, "The Staple Singers". The 2 guitars together, one is a 6 string and the other a 12 string. They have separate distinctive sounds. You Rock!!!
I agree with the below, you are definitely adorable and I like the made up words sometimes better than the bad. Love watching you. Have a great week. Kiss your boys for us. 😊😊❤️
Mr. Video As the song finishes you can hear Mavis Staples whispering "Beautiful", precisely what I think of your reaction. From someone who has enjoyed both The Band and The Staples for 40+ years Thank You!!
You just witnessed some major talent there my friend. The Band is far more influential in the musical history than they receive credit for. And the Staples Singers are on a level all their own, as well. I was lucky enough to sit front row of a small revolving stage venue to see The Band perform many years ago. Life Is A Carnival is one tune that will stick in my mind forever from that night. But they don't have any bad tunes and I'm certain these awesome musicians could transform a phone book into a music standard if they chose to.

Very well put👍❣️
What he said. Watch the whole movie.
I think Martin Scorsese was the director. He was involved in some way at least.
dzhellek he was the director
Miss Mavis Staples,sisters and their dad “Pops”. A reaction to The Staple Singers on their own too is well worth it.
Staples Singers songs:
- I’ll Take You There (this is the one you know even if you don’t know it)
- Respect Yourself
- Oh La De Da
- If You’re Ready (Come Go With Me)
Absolutely!!! ❤️ The Staples Singers!
Oh yeah - Respect Yourself, It's A Long Walk To DC, I See It...
@Flying Cupcake I took friends to see Irma Thomas live once - they really didn't believe that voice was coming out of that person, so effortlessly was she singing :-D
I agree a reaction to the staples would be awsome ua-cam.com/video/oab4ZCfTbOI/v-deo.html

Apparently you were not around during the 50s, 60s or 70s. Go do your home work.
Patti LaBelle? Mavis Staples laps Patti LaBelle all day and twice on Sunday.
And Pops puts em ALL to shame😀
Ohhh.. shit!
I love Patti LaBelle, but you are so right. No one is better than Mavis Staples.
I like Patti LaBelle, but Mavis is.....foundational.

@@douglasgawitt8818 oh wow! Yeah, that's beyond my scope of knowledge.
In my opinion this is one of the greatest recordings ever made.

Ophelia and Shape im in are fantastic yo
Yes Cripple creek ! Give it a listen!

All the above, but ya can't forget King Harvest

Saw Peter Frampton and Gary Wright at Colt park back in the 70's. Those were the days.
I love watching people's faces when Mavis' voice hits them for the first time.

It's so good. And the direction! Scorsese reveals this hidden gem. MR Video was shook.
You’re never the same after you’ve been hit by the greatness that is Mavis.
Ok. I’m already getting the idea I can’t watch this beyond two minutes.
I cry every time I see someone hear it for the first time.
Where did Mavis come from, and all her sisters?
POPS 🤬🤬 STAPLES, DAS WHERE!
Pops will heal you in ways you didn't know you need my friend.
He is GOD'S GOAT!
I'm not a man of the book, but I SNAP TO when Pops starts talking.
Bob Dylan asked Pops for Mavis hand in marriage.
She said no.
Pops was the truth. And Mavis
Bob had a hankering.. Shit.. Shes georgeus

Double neck guitar was basically made famous by Jimmy Page.
Technically, thats a guitar and mandolin on one body. Only one I've ever seen
@ted ritola Jimmy Page is the Zeppelin guitarist
@ted ritola Robbie's is a mandolin/guitar double neck, while Page's was a six string/twelve sting guitar.
Rush used double neck guitars also

Been with you since the start. This is my favorite reaction yet. Good job brotha!
One more thing, you know a song is great when you haven’t heard and you start singing along… definitely watch The Last Waltz
They’re musicians who actually PLAY their instruments and know their craft. Seen em twice in the late 70s and early 80s.
You're just beginning on a great ride. The music back in the day was real music that's when people played instruments and came together. The kids wanted to take band to learn to play and learn to read music. Enjoy your ride.
When my father passed away everyone in my family got to pick a song to play at his funeral. This is the song I chose. It still hits me every time I hear it.
Sorry for your loss. Lost my dad 15 yrs ago. Mom just left this world to be with him again. Forever.
They let my 4 brothers and I play our new albums on dad's Hi -Fi stereo. They discovered our music and taught us to love their music too...jazz, swing and the blues.
I chose for mom's service It's a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong and for dad's it was Summertime by Ella Fitzgerald.
They are still dancing I've no doubt.
I get great comfort from my memories.
May you find comfort in yours.
Music helps so much.

I am a 60 yr old white guy that has loved the Band and enjoyed the Staples since I was a kid. Watching them on 60s and 70s variety shows. These two belong together, in the tree of music you can trace them back to the same branch. Incredible talent. But let’s concentrate on shit that don’t matter.
Glad you got that special feeling about this performance. Exposing young people to this music is essential.
Hahaa I never had so much fun watching this video before. More people just kept appearing and ur reaction was priceless.
As your pillow says, When words fail, music speaks. This music has spoken to me for years, and I pray it will continue to speak to everyone. Also pray it speaks to me on my death bed!
Brother, Levon Helms....just pure greatness. It's beyond brilliant! Levon is the lead singer. RIP
He also played Loretta Lynn's Dad in The Coal Miners Daughter movie.
I can't stop rewatching this! Mr. Video the difference in your face at 6:33 and 8:22 is priceless! You went from help me, lord to I'm here for it in record time. 😂😂
The last waltz is amazing. True musicianship. 🤝❤️👌
legends!!!!!!!!!!! you sounded like bill cosby when u did that, thast was great
I love the sister next to pop smiling. Precious.
Its fun to see you react it's like a kid at chistmas.
I love this reaction. You know there is a whole album, " Rhythm, Country and Blues" of similar songs. BB King, Staple Singers, Aaron Neville singing with country artists.
YESSS! This is SOULFUL AF. I was wildin' when this came on in the movie. One of the best songs ever written.
Man, how I am only seeing this too lol this is Mavis Staples singing with The Band... A lot of legend on that stage 🙌🙌
My all time fav version of this song!! 💞
The "Band" is singing with the group, "The Staple Singers".
The 2 guitars together, one is a 6 string and the other a 12 string. They have separate distinctive sounds.
You Rock!!!
When he said, “he better not start singing,” talking about Robbie. Haha if he only knew the rest of that story.
This may be your funniest reaction yet. I'm dying. This is a classic performance from the great film The Last Waltz.
I agree with the below, you are definitely adorable and I like the made up words sometimes better than the bad. Love watching you. Have a great week. Kiss your boys for us. 😊😊❤️
The Band were The GOAT
Mr. Video As the song finishes you can hear Mavis Staples whispering "Beautiful", precisely what I think of your reaction. From someone who has enjoyed both The Band and The Staples for 40+ years Thank You!!
Definitely react to "the night they drove old Dixie down" and "up on cripple Creek" you'll go crazy over the organ player
Dude, that moment when you say "What's Next?" and I know you've still got surprises to come.
The Band w/The Staple Singers. Awesome!
You're the only one who actually reacts to the videos I love it everyone else just listens
When I first saw this way way back it brought tears to my eyes, and it still does!!!!
You just witnessed some major talent there my friend. The Band is far more influential in the musical history than they receive credit for. And the Staples Singers are on a level all their own, as well. I was lucky enough to sit front row of a small revolving stage venue to see The Band perform many years ago. Life Is A Carnival is one tune that will stick in my mind forever from that night. But they don't have any bad tunes and I'm certain these awesome musicians could transform a phone book into a music standard if they chose to.
