In my humble opinion, one of the most beautiful songs written. Listening to Rick Danko singing it with The Band continues to bring all sorts of emotions to the surface. What a lovely cover version. Absolutely continued in the spirit intended I think.
He really was a songwriter of the highest grade possible was Robbie Robertson . Some of his tunes are true authentic American / Canadian classics . What a lifetime body of work ? RIP ..you were all class and originality .
One of the greatest songs of all time and a really hard one to do well, partly since everyone's always going to compare it to Rick Danko's masterpiece, but you guys nailed it.
The harmony part on the verse is a very tidy solution to “the Rick Danko problem,” which is that rarely have a singer and a song been so intimately connected as Rick and this song. Mere imitation is very hard to pull off and even then is deeply unsatisfying. But the two voices together? Beautiful!
Musicianship that takes your breath away. The amazing thing about Misner and Smith is that, as fantastic as this cover is, you will discover a world of original material just as great that goes toe-to-toe with giants of American popular music like The Band. Check out any of their CDs. If you love close harmony two-part singing like The Everly Brothers, these folks will make your hair stand on end!
Kudos to Misner and Smith and the guitarist they employed that night. One of my favorite and what these wonderful Bay Area musicians got down here is the harmony and I'll make a point to track them down a full 6 years since this recording.
Second to none, the best cover I've ever heard you nailed the pathos and hurt that's more then the sum of its parts if that makes sense , just amazing thank you
I've changed my opinion. The guitar is more reminiscent of Jerry Donahue than of Robbie Robertson - still beautiful. The harmonies are less anarchic than those of the band - still beautiful.
Their voices and harmony are terrific. But, and it is a big but, hie song was written to be sung as a lament by an individual. The refrain is best sung like the Band did with harmonies. But the confessional parts are best sung by an individual.
The two of you played such a great rendition of one the best songs of all the years of rock 'N roll. But, the electric guitarist either never heard that song, or never felt that song. Total dragging hindrance on what you guys still managed make something really good.
One of the best rock and roll songs of all time that most people don't know about.
Take a bow folks. Truly a very sweet rendition of this timeless classic.

Completely agree. So hard, so good. Not enough Danko in my life lately. That will be immediately rectified.
One of the best covers of The Band I've ever heard!
This is song to me is evergreen and will always be, and I hope others will agree with me
That was outstanding. That did The Band and Danko proud there.
That lead guitarist was laying down some sweet Robbie fills with no love from the camera. Great performance by all. Bravo
BEAUTIFUL rendition of BEAUTIFUL song!!! very TALENTED players! thx for posting!
I just lost someone. Thank you for this. Amazing
LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!!!! If you don’t have goosebumps, you don’t have a pulse. Thank you for this.
🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎵🎶🎤 I loved your performance. Voices and eletric guitar are fantastic. 👏👏👏
Very nice job...Not many can do justice to this song besides Rick Danko. I would say you do very well! Bravo!
Ahhhhhhhh... An Oasis in a huge desert! All that rain can bring me back to life! Thank you!
Wow! This made me cry. Such a beautiful, heartbreaking rendition.

So nice 👍 RICK DANKO !! Song gets me. Makes me sad for that era
The song is a treasure. So is this version.
Nice arrangement of this beautiful song. Rick would be proud.
I wasn't expecting this. Great harmonies and real Robbie Robertson sounding guitar until the superb guitar solo at the end.
I just discovered this. Beautifully and tastefully done. You all really did justice to this incredible song.
That was truly exceptional! Love the Band and this was a great rendition of a great song.
That tele really dialed in for Robbys sound and the squeal very good 👍

Bravo
That's rite!
Awsome
The electric guitar solo is sounding like the great Roy Buchanan.❤️
There's a good reason for that. There was a connection between Robbie 'n Roy.
Beautiful!!
NICE job on one of my favorite songs! Josh channeled Robbie nicely.
Excellent version
VERY GOOD GANG
You guys should have way more subscribers .. that was insanely good.

Hippie-Cowgirl
感動しました。
"I was impressed"
Mmmhmmm ❤️👍🏻❤️
Does it sound this good every take ?
Awesome!!! Sorry Rick D. but great version
I love this song, I think the telecaster brings it back too close to the original version, I'd like to hear steel or mandolin on it instead

well I've heard it a bunch of times.. and in no way trying to copy the original.. but sorry you disliked my playing so much! Each to his own. :-)
@@JoshYenne personally, I thought your playing was in the spirit of what Robbie Robertson played on The Last Waltz. My two cents.
I don't agree at all, thought Yenne did a good job. Enjoyed the song, reminded me how much I miss The Band.
@@markmulvihill totally agree. So much more than JRR's seagull noises. Nicer-looking guitar too.
Great job, all three of you! Great pace, harmonies and feel. Just missed Garth's soprano sax, but I guess he was busy elsewhere.
You really nailed the emotion in the singing. Without that, this song is just flat and boring. Good job!
Just a face in a crowd on a dead end street....
It's nice. But it's no Rick danko ;)
my god thats one clean tone from all three. amazing, thanks for sharing
I visit this every now and again, it 's unbelievably moving, thank you!
VERY nicely done. BRAVO!!!😎
just checking in on this, glad it's still here
