This has got to be one of the most perfect live performances ever in the history of human music.
Yes!
Or any other sort of music!
The entire movie!
Agreed!
Absolutely
When Mavis Staples ends a set, by mouthing the word, "Beautiful", it doesn't get any better!
❤
right?!! :D
Exatamente. Um elogio suave para uma performance poderosa.
@@cesaraugusto7094 ¡Estoy de acuerdo!
RIP Robbie Robertson, your songwriting has nourished many generations and more to come. RIP to Robbie, Levon Helm, Richard Manuel, Rick Danko, and Roebuck 'Pops' Staples.
Agree.. RIP.. another one gone...
Please don;t include Staples. He wasn't part of The Band. He was the token Black group who white groups were forced to perform with to be politically correct. "THE BAND" resented having to have black musicians perform with them when they did "The Night They Drove Ole Dixie Down", the great pro confederacy song, Pops Statpes can kiss my A**
And don't forget Garth Hudson, please, whose, ethereal organ sent the Band's music to another realm.
Fortunately Garth is still with us.
@@nelsonsimon6046 Luckily Garth is still with us, and hopefully will continue to be for many years. He is the last living Band member
When Mavis says beautiful at the end It's like the cherry on top. She is so good it hurts
Yes, just a whisper like she's thinking out loud
Indeed. Indeed. Nothing I can add to that statement.
My eyes well up everytime..and I'm a 46yr old guy
@@lumpyheadcarini7553 Yeah, I got 20 more on ya. :) It really doesn't get any better than this.
@@lumpyheadcarini7553 %100 makes me teary eyed. I'm a year older than you and I've owned The Last Waltz on VHS and DVD. This is the first time I've heard that little whisper at the end.
One of the best versions of The Weight. RIP Robbie Robertson, a true musician and songwriter. It’s a great loss.
Yup, sad day. After listening to The Band for 40+ years, I think this is the best version.
He ripped of the rest of the musicians in the band. Robbie was a cheat. He can rot in hell
It is THE best.
I agree. I knew him. He played guitar on one of my songs for my 2nd album called ‘Heroin Tango’ Robbie Played electric guitar so different than anyone ever that sounded like a Beautiful Spacey Whale’s Love Song That put The Heroin into my song it was about a female hero a slow waltz broken hearted love song & Robbie’s guitar was breathtakingly beautiful so different than anyone has heard. I miss him. He used to tell me he’d written a song about me. I think it’s ‘Somewhere Down The Crazy River’ I feel bad he was sick for so long. He was one of the greats. 💔❤️🔥🎸
Anyone who can listen/watch this clip and hear Mavis Staples whisper "beautiful" at the end without smiling or getting goosebumps needs a heart transplant.
To best of this at the award-winning 79
She summed it up perfectly.
Chills every time
Yes, and I think that was aimed at Rick Danko for his 'Crazy Chester ' verse - but that's just me . . .
Or a horn up their arse!
Pop Staples has just the purest voice.
But Mavis has the Deepest .
I've always felt Pop Staples had the most perfect voice too. I loved his guitar playing too.
Effortless
like honey
This fills your soul, RIP Robbie.
The best version I've ever heard of this song. They're all brilliant here but Mavis Staples is just peerless. What a voice.
Chris Pellow It's not just the voice. I sing opera--I've sung with the best vocal musicians in the world. Mavis does things with the voice I've never heard. All the way from grunt to shriek she lights up the song. I have to listen over and over again to hear her almost sub-vocal descant. Genius. What an artist! Wow, just wow.
Chris Pellow You said it! Totally agree.
Chris Pellow touche
+Chris Pellow No one comes close to her. It's a pure joy to listen to her sing.
+Chris Pellow I must agree with all that is stated, Ms. Staples , her father and sisters just make a class song even better. The Band at its close and zenith with this tune. It's hard to explain but I cannot listen to this song without tears coming to my eyes. It is a song with meaning and feeling but why it touches me is why we are human. Thanks Robbie and all of the Band. Like Mavis says at the END of the song- " Beautiful"...Yes my dear Sister it is.
Pops Staples. Yes. He gets up to bat and delivers. Natural and effortless, his voice embodies the maternal/paternal caring and tenderness that underlines the lyric.
KEVIN DOTY I hope this reaches you and those you love in great health and happiness😎
Perfectly Stated.
Yes and his daughter's delivery could make a believer out of anyone!
Couldn't have said it better myself.
200%.....bang on
Right at the end of the song Mavis whispers “Beautiful”, and so it was. This is absolutely the best version of this song ever, without a doubt, every moment.
I'd never noticed her saying beautiful at the end. What a nice confirmation of how justifiably good she must've felt about the great performance they'd just accomplished together. Thanks for pointing it out
I didn't know that .. thanks
Some 45 years later ,I still get goosebumps and shivers at the brilliance of the performance of this song ! It should be used in music college's for inspiration and motivation for all budding music students . It's the Crème da la Crème .
20 years later and 2 music degrees later.... i wish people would study this in school.. The Band is the epitome of "You can't teach that in school"...
@@jordanjames3937 look at the absolute joyful smile from Levon as Mavis starts her verse of the song at around 1:13 ! It's the same ecstasy Robbie emanates while Levon sang the lyric 'If the money's no good ,' during The Band 's incomparable version of The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down ,at The Last Waltz ! Complete and utter respect and admiration for his/her outstanding talents ......Magical .
So true.
I would even go so far to say, that this song has healing powers….it has been uplifting me since 40 years
@@sheercerebralpower In the "Last Waltz" Garth Hudson said that musicians were the true healers.
Her voice is like butter, Dad’s voice is so pleasing as well. This tune is timeless and will endure.
I'd give an eye tooth to have the built in rhythm of the lady clapping near the end of the song,, her clapping gives me the shivers every time ... every time!
Mavis Staples is her name, singing with her sisters & dad, known as 'The Staple Singers'
This Song is my Will to Played at my Funeral,,, it is unbelievable,,,
They were the best. Just straightforward, clean, real. I'm 81 now and so many good memories have come back because of The Band and their music. Thank you, y'all.
I love The Band and always have. When you mention Clean, I assume your were talking about music? They were all doing drugs, some more heavy stuff than others. Levon, Richard and Rick all got into it, leavaing Robbie with all the responsibility
One of the best rock lyrics and concepts of all time.
Love the daughters looking at Pops with love & admiration
BUT LOOK AT THEM LOOKING AT THEIR SIS...GREEN EYED MONSTER
princess The I did see that. But that angle at 1:23 is shot so well it still makes that envy beautiful to observe.
What can you say, The Band and Mavis and the Staples Singers kicking the Soul in this song? Nothing can touch this performance. AWESOME!
😊
Notice!? No inner ear monitors, these folks, everyone could sing, harmonize, hit the note, The Band an amazing group of cats, lyricist's, arrangers, The Staple singers, huge talents, the soul the passion and Queen Mavis, this is untouchable, This is ICONIC, a word waaay too overused and tossed about these days
Nailed it beautifully, thanks
They still had monitors tho...
@@joereichlin258 Really. I was like, what? Bitching about in ear monitors just shows how ignorant you are about music.
When Mavis chimes in....I get goosebumps (everytime)
Absolutely
And again when Pops comes on!
me too
Levon and Rick have great voices, but she overpowers them all!
Me too!
RIP Levon , one of the best live performances I've ever heard
And the great Rick Danko
Missing Rick Danko and Levon. I still watch this whole show, probably seen it 100 times, and enjoy as much as the first time. Give me chills!
Hi Liz💐💐
Missing Richard too!!
The entire last waltz album is a masterpiece. For all of us musicians out there, it's from all those people on stage with the band that that teach us what music is all about
Listeners appreciate it also 😊❤
Thank god we have the internet so all of us here on earth can still enjoy masterpiece’s of music like this even though most members in this video have passed on.
I love how Mavis whispers beautiful at the end of the song. It really is.
The moment Mavis starts clapping turns the song into pure gospel !
I love when she starts clapping! It sounds cliche but this beautiful collaboration gives me chills every time
Church!!!! Every time!!!!
Edit: *evey-damn-time
I miss them.
And I get goosebumps after all these years. Melodic masterpiece
Rest in peace my friend. Wonderful musician and even better person.
Beautiful. Glorious. Fill our hearts with country, folk, soul, blues and gospel. RIP Robbie Robertson - thank you for your great music that lives on with us. 🙏🏽❤️
Love it when one of the Staples ladies whispers "beautiful" at the end of the song. She knows that they did a hell of a performance right there.
+Guus Jacobs It's Mavis, and doesn't it just wholly encapsulate her and that performance. Truly beautiful.
Fantastic rendition
I've seen this so many times before and never noticed this - could this actually get any better?
I loved that they caught her saying that!
Agree, wholeheartedly! First saw The Waltz in 1979, probably many hundreds of times since. And, yes, that moment is, well, beautiful.
Jesus Christ....
I LOVE Rick Danko, His verse is the greatest of anyone's. Not based on vocal ability alone. His bass playing, groove, and vocal articulation is flawless! Can't be touched.
Not to mention, dude's TRULY Feeling it! Look at those moves. I believe a little bit of cocaine also added a little "Umph" to Danko's sheer Radness.
Every verse of this is sung beautifully but there's something to me about Pops turn that really gets me deep! His voice is like honey
That's what I said.
When she says "beautiful" right at the end, I smile.
I cry.
i love pops effortless singing...like hes not even givin er and it comes out so sweet
Awesome, I immediately thought the same thing
Yes yes yes
His voice is like velvet.
Smooth
The shot moving back to Mavis at 0:56 is one of the most gorgeous camera movements I’ve ever seen. The moment is so soothing to the eye and ear all at once. Remarkable from all the artists involved, both before and behind the camera.
It's a majestic piece of film making from "the artists behind the camera" that could only be produced by someone who had really listened to the music and was in tune with it. Every verse gets a similar treatment but this one is the best. This is one of the things that made me buy my own Blueray copy of The Last Waltz - so I could watch it again at will. And here's a nice surprise - with a few years between each viewing, the effect is gorgeous every time.
She a great song and put it out of the park.
Blows my mind every time! Rest in peace Levon, Robbie, Richard and Rick! You are so frigging missed! Thank you all for the magnificent music🥰🫶🏻🙏🏼 #thegreatgiginthesky
One of the great musical performances of all time.
Thank you. Any time any song anywhere.
Yep
Second to Elvis live performance of " If In Can Dream"
A stage loaded with pure artists! Thank you people for the music!
Rest in Peace Pervis Staple, 85 (05.13.21).
What a wonderful life you've had, you certainly brought joy to so many with your voice and music.
This is one of the very best versions of The Weight I've ever heard.
Thankyou Sir.
Peace, love and harmony be with your Soul for Eternity.
✌❤🎶♾🌟🙏
🇨🇦💃🐈
Bless your musical Soul.
Best band ever.....Thanks Robbie. Have a good journey.
This is my favorite version of "The Weight" ever, hands down. I mean, the Staple Singers with *THE BAND*; for what more could you ask??? "The Last Waltz remains one of the finest concert films ever put to recording simply because the concert itself was one of the best concerts ever given in rock'n'roll. God, I wish I could have been there--I was 8, alas.
There's this classic moment at about 1:14 when Mavis Staples (I think it's her) starts her verse about Carmen & The Devil, and Levon looks over at her, and just closes his eyes and grins with contentment, like he's thinking, "D***, this is some good stuff!"
The caramel syrup voices of the Staple Singers, especially Pervis Staples, so gentle and smooth on his "Miss Moses" verse, add a dimension of pure soul to "The Weight" that is just magic and alchemy--a truly inspired pairing of two phenomenal musical forces.
ua-cam.com/video/ImE4IZ_n_CM/v-deo.html
@@bdubyou55 OK, yeah, Aretha and Duane's version is good, too!
Just doesn't get any better than this. RIP Robbie, Levon, Rick and The Beak. The music will live on FOREVER!
IMO the power of this is Pops. Undersinging like a pro.
I agree, he's the smooth calm contrast between Danko's and Mavis's emotional singing. Knowing what not to play is sometimes the key.
There is a slightly different version here on UA-cam where the mix is a little better, Pops and the Staples are a little louder ua-cam.com/video/Z2eTW8qZBtk/v-deo.html
Indeed! I like that expression (under singing). Fantastic!
The only voice that bought tears to my eyes. All that ease in his voice, like treacle.
@@Gregor9043 Felt some sadness watching this performance in 2020. Rick looks wired and Levon junked up ... though I know they've both got decades of music making ahead of them.
Bless Martin Scorsese for capturing this so masterfully.
No shortage of great musicians here, The Last Waltz one of the best filmed musical events of all time.
This movie was my "Screener" on the women I was dating as it seems to highlight the Road Challenges and Touring was something that seemed destined for me.
Not so sure this was Effective, as Touring never became my focus.
Great Performance and Movie, but Sadly we have Lost most of THE BAND.
I watch it almost once a month and it will never cease to thrill me.
The Band was phenomenal. such great music. That still resonates today.
So much talent on that stage.. And Robbie Robertson.
Love that Mavis Staples just states beautiful at the end as it fades out. It is!
This song will always be in the atmosphere...its omnipresent...RIP Robbie. Levon Helm...the greatest vocalist/drummer ever...it really doesn't get any better than this...😊
That smile on Levon's face around 1:15 says it all...he knows Mavis (and everyone else) is simply KILLING it!
Levon made no secret of the fact that he was disillusioned by The Band and The Last Waltz at this time...but he clearly never stopped loving the music. He's smiling and grooving the whole film. It's amazing.
@@adamkane4217 Why he was disillusioned?, What happened?
@@JP-xd6fm It's in Levon's autobiography: he felt like Robbie Robertson had turned The Band into HIS band, and unfairly took songwriting credits away from Garth Hudson and Richard Manuel. On top of that, Levon claimed that the decision to stop touring, and the Last Waltz concert, was all Robbie's idea, and that the film was edited to make Robbie seem like the real leader of the group.
Well, as a fan I have to thanks Robbie to make the last waltz possible!, but everyone knows Levon was the leader and Garth and Manuel songwriting. Btw, The bio is called This wheel's on fire?
@@JP-xd6fm Yes! It's a great read, though I take both Levon and Robbie's sides of the story with a grain of salt.
The audio mix in this version is incredible. Piano, Keys, vocals all blended like I'm passing them walking through my own garage.
Man I love these people😢 Their music, their voices, their words will always matter.
R.I.H. Robbie 💔
I run out of adjectives to describe all of these amazing musicians. We were blessed to have them here with us. ❤❤
Hi Suzy💐💐
Kudos to The Band for having the good sense to perform this song with the Staples. Mavis Staples has a "once in a century" voice. Talk about soul!
I know. I just want to hug her. The shot is gorgeous too.
Pius Twelvetrees aint it Martha Staples?
Dimitri,
No it's not Martha. It's Mavis along with Cleotha, Yvonne and Pops -- one of the best family singing groups ever!
Well, The Staple Singers did a cover of the song
Mavis is still a power!
Such a gift for us...Robbie Robertson you willl sail with the angels forever...
Timeless. Speaking to me even more now and has all these years
I can't stop playing it
So I'm not the only one in the world. Eve. ry. day. x5???@bud greenleaf
You and me both.
Robertson begon zijn carrière op jonge leeftijd door zich eind jaren 50 aan te sluiten bij de begeleidingsband van rockabillyzanger Ronnie Hawkins. The Band ontstond in de jaren 60 als begeleidingsband van Bob Dylan. Na een motorongeluk van Dylan in 1966, die daardoor langere tijd niet kon optreden, ging de groep in een gehuurd huis in Woodstock muziek opnemen met Dylan.
Het leidde in 1968 tot het eerste album van The Band, Music from Big Pink, dat meteen een succes werd. Een jaar later volgde met het album The Band alweer het tweede album. Robertson ontwikkelde zich tot belangrijkste tekstschrijver van The Band. De karakteristieke muziek van de groep - een soort mix van country met folk, blues en rock - is nog altijd een belangrijke invloed in de muziekstijl americana.
Ook werd de groep in zijn hoogtijdagen hoog aangeslagen onder muziekcritici en andere muzikanten, onder meer omdat alle bandleden uitmuntende zangers én muzikanten waren. Het leidde tot een bijzondere synergie. Zo zei Eric Clapton ooit eens fameus dat hij dolgraag lid van The Band was geworden
It’s nice information, but you forgot to quote the website, my friend… there is a strange sentence in it about Clapton that made me curious…
Stay tuned, but stay sharp! 😉
@@stumblingjack2645 Eric said that a few times over his career.
@@stumblingjack2645He just blatantly copied the NOS news article
One of my favorite live performances of all time , pure magic.
Not a live performance, was performed on a sound stage in a studio. My favorite live performance is in 1995 at the Let It Rock concert at Massy Hall in canada.
We were blessed with all the Band's music. Thankful that it lives forever
How can anyone NOT love this?
Impossible !
only if you are a southern inbreed
They are all -we say in Germany.."Vollpfosten"...
Idiots on UA-cam with no idea what good music IS !!
The Last Waltz was just an all around great concert film.
Definitely too bad today's kids aren't treated to something like this
Never disappoints, one of my favorite movies. One of my favorite performances. Mavis is special. Levon performance is for the ages. Danko is wonderful. And Robbie on guitar. Pops' voice is heaven sent, and in a word "sweet". I always come back to this song and this version when I need a pick me up.
Yep!
To me… The Weight is the standard off what all other folk rock/Americana genre blending music is trying to live up to. I whole heartedly believe that The Band, influenced by Dylan, is most important/influential American band of the modern era. Levon’s stories of out-there southern characters that were shaped and polished by Robbie Robertson. The Weight perfectly blends the best elements of Blues, Country, Gospel, R&B, and Jazz into this Homeresque tale of adventure and conversely a longing for home. Love for Levon Forever!!!
@@tylerfoust487 There is such an authenticity about them, that I just see all these modern so called Americana folk/indi/hipster type bands as wannabees trying to emulate the greatness of this which just seems so natural.
@@tylerfoust487 The thing is ….The Band is Canadian….the only American was Levon Helm ( drummer ) from Arkansas.
Nice international version with ringo Starr and Robbie too
The very best musicianship of any era. Privileged to see and listen to The Band twice.
Love Rick Danko's emotive voice as he always gets into it...great singer and great Band!!
Bill same, he doesn’t have the greatest voice but he feels it
@@clintonjackson1209 That means he has a great voice.
Someone commented on a different version of this same vid, something like: "Pops sings smooth and subdued and then Rick comes in like your drunk uncle". I just thought that was a cool description.
I love Rick. Richard, Rick and Levon Rest in Peace
❤
@@cedarshoals529
Lol! I believe they all would have loved that observation and laughed their asses off
This slays me every time. The camera coming around Mr. Staple and showing all four of them, obviously they are related, it’s perfection. I’d like to know whose idea it was to ask The Staple Singers to do this. RIP Robbie.
RIP Robbie Robertson
❤
Thank you for your great music!
I will always remember your sweet smile 🫶
This union was Church at it's best. Classic session with healing power anytime it's heard. What a beautiful gathering of souls. There is an unmeasurable force behind a collective of human beings as conduits for the " Great I Am ". Praises be to what results from love of one another anointed by pure heartfelt joy ! Can I get a witness ?
@R R you can.🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♀️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️🙋♂️
I never get tired of watching this version. Mavis and the Staples added so much. Levon and Ricky in their prime, man. Love those guys!
The band were the band,staple sisters amazing.
Thanks robbie,god bless.❤
Best version of this, my favorite song of all time. The guys, especially Levon Helm and Rick Danko, are the magic of this performance. Pops and his girls are the soul of it. Mavis Staples in particular makes me believe in God.
Saw this live. I cried. Simply mind blowing❣️
My god what a voice that woman has...
It is perfect. Rest in peace. Your music writing talent will never b matched. Performance is perfect. This song holds more meaning than a lot of people know. I’m 69 and it still chills me to the bone.
So much talent on stage....Will never see the likes of these days again...60s and 70s the best ...
What a way to remember Robbie then to listen to the best recording of his best song.
That one lady sure has a beautiful voice. She sure is beautiful, too.
A era that will never be copied.Talent was pure and abundant.Sincerity really existed. An AMAZING TIME IN MUSIC.How I wish I could have lived during those days.MUSICAL HISTORY!!
I remember seeing the Band in Toronto,Canada in 1973. The day befor First day at high school. I have never been the same. I'm so grateful for the Band Music. It get me through alot of the shit people go through in life. Thank you gentleman from the bottom of my heart. Via Condios. Pete Harrison.
This is perfection in art. You'll never find a better example.
The more I listen to this: Its just a perfect blend of soul music.
Yes, Mavis steals it. And that's amazing considering the talent on stage.
Can’t explain how wonderful this song makes me feel! I just love it! ❤
Mother Mavis put that Pentecostal clap in there trying to take us to church!! The whole collaboration was superb..
When Mavis says "Beautiful" at the end. Im not even sure why, but the most powerful emotion hits me when she says that. Why, yes....yes it is Mavis....Beautiful!

I have never listened to the Band but this quite honestly is one of the best live performances I have ever seen its just brilliant and reminds me why all I listen to is 60,s 70, s and some 80,s music.
Man being born in 1970 I only got to know music through father and thank goodness he had great taste. I feel so fortunate to have this in my reprttroiur.
This group of people singing such an incredible song without any ego amongst each other, and doing it so very well exemplifies the true heart of what music is all about. There's love and respect all over these richly gifted musicians. If only that kind of togetherness could be a constant presence in all music, I honestly think we'd all be better off for it.
thats what im talking about!
Fuck yes brother!!! The last waltz is a great way to learn how much musicians respect eachother
You Betcha***!!!!
That sensual voice of Mavis, amazing everytime you hear it.
one of the best songs ever written, levon is amazing!!!!!!!!!
Levon ran the Woodstock recording studio and brought many more young musicians to their potential for no personal gain. Rip a purist.
Really love Levon. And he claimed it wasn't just Robbie's song, that it was a group collaborative effort.
I'm getting tired of the poor Levon got ripped off thing. A former manager said Robbie was in the studio in the mornings writing songs while Levon and Richard had to be dragged out of bed from partying the night before. Robbie took care of business and Levon didn't. The business structure of how Robbie got most of the royalties was a common one in those days.
Levon💓💓💓
This performance gives me chills. What a combination. A Match made in Heaven!!!!!!!
Feels like church , RIP Levon, how soulful are the Staples singers ? Pure Americana 🇺🇸⚓️
"Hey Carmen lets go downtown" Does not get any better than this. Love The Band.
I love how the bassist is enjoying himself to the fullest.
Lol. Rick Danko. He wasn't as good of a lead singer but he was a great harmony singer. Kind of brought a needed ingredient to The Band with his harmonizing. It's almost like a trademark of The Band.
Yeah, that's called cocaine and apparently he was loaded with it that night.
@@timsullivan67 No doubt, he has the dictionary definition of "coke energy" in the footage!
The Staples add a new dimension to this excellent song.
The Band was one of the greatest ensembles ever. I remember this song oh so well from the early 70's, but the addition of The Staple Singers take this rendition into the stratosphere! Mavis and Levon are two of the most earthy -- even soulful voices ever! I wish they had used the same on "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down." Rest in Peace Levon Helm.
Well said 👏
One of the best performances of any song, by anyone, ever. It was amazing from the first note. But I swear, that last verse... they took it to a whole different level! My idea of a true religious experience, in the best possible way.
Right on Stacy, when I hear this I'm reminded heaven is right here...
I play this often. I refer to this performance as the day Classic Rock and R&B shook hands. I so agree with you on that last verse. Mavis got happy as we call it in the Baptist church. This was just am amazing performance.
I so agree it is a religious experience
Makes me cry. I will be seeing the fore after soon.
Iuiiuu
tears in my eyes caused by this pure beauty, to listen to them singing and playing together brings such a superb, such a wonderful emotional experience, what a union!! ❤️
This just makes me smile and feel so good. And reminds me of all the good old times, and people who are no longer with us
I love this version of the weight, The Band are great, but with the Staple singers , this came right out of HEAVEN....
