I was working for Mitch Ryder 1968 when the Band's first album came out Music From Big Pink. Mitch's new band had a Hammond organ, guitar, bass and drums and I believe it was two horns. We had a job down in Philadelphia at the Kennedy stadium which was the football field for the Philadelphia Eagles opening for Sly and the Family Stone. So we had two limos for the group to drive from NYC to Philadelphia. I believe that Big Pink came out a couple of days before this road trip. So Mitch and myself and two or three other the band members were in the first limo. I'm sitting in the front seat with Mitch and and he's got a cassette of Big Pink and Mitch puts it in the cassette player and that was all we listen to all the way down to Philadelphia and all the way back to New York in a smoke filled limo. That album blew our minds it was so different and unusual the way they combined all the elemental rock blues country and who knows what else the most amazing vocals they have. Here it is I'm 76 years old and I can still remember that ride and the feeling and hearing that cassette almost like it was yesterday believe me I wish it was yesterday LOL
@@jazzfan67 interesting what you wrote about listening to an music by yourself and you can't remember when you listen to an album with somebody else. It's what the powers to be are striving to do. Separate everyone from each other. All I see is younger people with there heads always looking at there phones. I'm amazed when I go to a restaurant or bar and there's a table with younger people with maybe six or seven people and three to four of them have their heads buried in their phones ignoring the people at the table. People walk down the streets or in the store passing each other and nobody looks anybody in the eye anymore. Nobody wants to talk on the phone anymore young people want to text text text. Isolation is becoming the thing. Now that you realize it do something about it✌️
That's so cool
I've been listening to this song for 55 years and loved it every time. Love the band. Smile on Garth Hudson.
To drum like that is godly ! To sing and drum like that is out of this world !
That moment when Garth smiles 🥲🥲
Heartwarming!
Not that often!
The tune is wonderful. Not so the flag.
@@lorenzomoro1313 flag?
Oh Marty really? Scotch? Welch?
To sound tight, (rehearsed) yet, loose, (spontaneous) at the same time is magic. You can't plan for that. That's the chemistry between The Band members.
You can hear in Levon Helms playing and singing but, its with the entire band. Its where the accents fall and the playing off of each other.
Excellent group.
I love the piano player making noises just so his friends would laugh
Man , how easy did those guys make music look and sound ? Oh to have been a fly on the wall when The Band were in their prime and creating immortal music ...brilliant and spellbinding talents .
Read Robbie Robertson's book "Testimony", Robertson is not only a great songwriter, but also a great storyteller. Goes into a lot of detail.
A brilliant group all of them could change parts at any time. Too bad it ended the way it did, thank you Levon, Richard Rick Garth and Robbie for giving us this great music
So, how did it end?
They all hated Robbie. Richard killed himself. Levon died of cancer. @@haroldbrown6630
Read, This Wheels on Fire.
Robbie took it all
@@ricmarquez7726 Read Robbie's book, or even better yet for a more balanced view read Barney Hoskyns biography of The Band. Robbie didn't take it all, he wrote the songs, without songwriting no Band. That is not to diminish the others, they were all very talented and help to make the Band what it was. By the time of The Last Waltz, Robbie was exhausted being a caretaker, 3 members were doing heroin, he was also married with 3 small children and wanted to spend more time with his family. They all made a lot of money, some wasted it on drugs, reckless spending and bad money management.
I wish UA-cam was around back in the 1970’s. We used to argue about who was singing all the time. For whatever reason, everyone thought Robbie sang every song. I knew it was Levon
A prioneering band if i ever saw one.... their sound, instruments, vocals, writing was so ahead of it's time. I mean, what rock band yodels???? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 You couldn't compare them to anything, they were truly original. I firmly believe that if they released an album today, it'll be a hit. I mean, I was born after The Band broke up and I love them!!!! One of my all time favorites!!! That's telling you something. If musical acts can be just as captivating and entertaining in the present as they were in the past, they did something right!! 😊😊😊 GOD bless The Band and their families and friends. 🙏❤️🙏
My favorite band, togheter with The Beatles!
Listen to more music buddy.
I was 12…just weaning myself off the Monkees… this band helped me make the transition.. watching them in the moment of just this video.. a moment that can never be again repeated or revisited other than this video.. it’s all we have .. it’ll do..
This brought tears toy eyes. It will never be any better. RIP Levon.
Wow, so much talent, we will never see the likes of The Band again
So bummed, I was about to see Robbie Robertson at the Crossroads Festival ‘23 in LA in Sept. love you RR!
When you have Clapton, Springsteen and so many greats in awe, you're somethin!! Levon just has built in cool, not bad on the eyes either.
Wonderful song… I love those great sounds Garth makes with his keyboards, kind of like a funky, amplified jaws harp if there was such a thing!
He's playing a Clavinet. Analog keyboard made in the 70s. Stevie Wonder uses one in the song 'superstition'
@@miket.220 thanks! :-)
Yep, Hohner Clavinet through a wah wah pedal
One if my dad's favorite band's when he was alive. When they played in Toronto Canada my dad and friends would see them play and after they played they would sit and have drinks with everyone. RIP Levon and Robbie. 🙏
Without doubt this band is the essence of music, I will never tire of listening to the..
One of the most underrated bands ever! Period.
I wouldn't call them under rated at all. Sure, they didn't sell as many records as the Beatles or the Stones but in their active years (1968-1976) they were one of the biggest concert draws in the country. They sold millions of albums and had huge hits with national airplay. They were managed by the one of the biggest names in the business at the time and had a concert film for them directed by Martin Scorsese. That's not because they were under rated.
@@TheMoodyLoners ask your children if they know who they are? They should be a household name. Most people don’t know any of their history, where they started and how they “cut their teeth” in the industry.
@@Followyourlight420 True, but then again, with the exception of the Beatles, no one today knows anything about bands that ended 50 years ago.
@@TheMoodyLoners this is a true statement as well. I don’t know any of the new “artists” or today. Ok, I do know a few, but that is after much vetting. I personally enjoy bands who tell stories, sing about current and lost hero’s and such. We must keep real music alive!
@@Followyourlight420 Amen to that. It would be wonderful if there was a re-awakening in popular music.
Its really hard for me to watch videos like this, I just cant believe they are all gone! Just WOW where does time go? I know it done ran me over like a semi truck! I saw these guys a couple times and that was so so long ago now. Once by themselves and once with Dylan. I will love them always....:-)
Garth Hudson is still with us, but he's the last.
Oh thank you- I didn't know that- a small ray of sunshine for the day :-) @@marks.3303
The BAND were incredible💯
The best band ever!
In 1965, Robertson had certainly heard of Dylan, but knew little of his work. Robbie and Bob, though, had been working in parallel, absorbing music originated deep inside America. Both, in retrospect, were getting ready to distill that gumbo into what is now known, thanks to the sanctuary provided by the ranch house they dubbed Big Pink, as Americana music.
Legit when the Wailers were working on Catch A Fire and Burnin’ they probably heard this album and were like daaaaaaamn we need to get that funky clav. Band absolutely owning it. Fire rhythm.
The wood in that room helps them create too, love the way wood sounds
Nothing but WOW !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They were so great ---wonderful memory !
I’d rather listen to Levon sing than Bruce talk.
You so right
Hell yeah
And I'd rather listen to Levon speak than bruce sing
@@paultoepfer5540 I'd rather listen to levon fart than Bruce sing
Fair point. Why is Bruce Springsteen talking over The Band anyway? Was he there, or something? lol
I love how Bruce says they were greater than the sum of their parts, but then Robbie calls the documentary “Robbie Robertson and the Band”. I mean, rest in peace Robbie, but come on.
Robbie was their songwriter. He was THERE. I don’t get the vendetta that fans have against him. He wasn’t killing himself with drugs and alcohol, unlike his band mates.
Bruce and his banal commentary
Love many of the bands I grew up on, but there’s only one The Band..
The Band breaking up hurt more than The Beatles did. And The Beatles hurt plenty.
That was NOT filmed at Big Pink.
I change it! Thank you! 💪
Epic. They don’t make music like this anymore.
Springsteen said that together they were greater than the sum of their parts. I always thought Levon Helm could have been much more. As the only American from the group, and a Southerner at that, he had the voice, the mannerisms and the stage presence (after all, his acting credits showed that), to have been a legendary country/pop/southern rock crossover artist like, or even with, such characters as Glen Campbell, Jerry Reed and many others. He could be, and often was, spellbinding. I wish he had done more.
THAT’S A BAND MAN
Fun Fact . . . . Levon had a cameo role in "The Shooter" with Mark Wahlberg. . . . Great scene in movie
My dad sent me that clip a couple of months before I started listening to The Band. I didn’t make the connection that it was Helm until one day when we were talking about a drumming instructional video Levon did and my dad mentioned that he was also an actor.
Whoever decided to have Bruce Springsteen and Eric Clapton talk over The Band needs to be in jail.
You know when Eric Clapton gives your band approval 👍. .. .. . Shyt just got real 😊
What The Band recorded during this period is beyond anything else in rock, except the best work of The Beatles.
That’s quite the overstatement
@@BerndtNorten Hi Tom, I meant to use quotation marks for that statement. It's a quote from, I think, Griel Marcus (though could be someone else) that I was hoping someone would pick up on. For me, The Band's first two albums are up there with the best of The Beatles, my favourite band.
RIP Robbie Robertson
Rip Robbie Robertson, rick denko, Richard Manuel, levon helm! Long live garth
Keyboardist Garth Hudson playing a clavinet with a wah-wah pedal 3 years before Stevie Wonder used it on "Superstition."
Magnificent
Oof. Levon Helm ❤️
was this filmed in woodstock? at a very popular artists colony where lots of music and movies were written???
I don''t want the explanation, just the music. This should be clear from the descripiton
It’s an excerpt from a documentary
This IS!!! Our best band from🇨🇦 Then Rush. Nobody was like these guys back then. So so so underrated. But you’ll never really know unless you lived it. 🎼🎹🥁🎸🎤🪗🎶🎵
It's like watching Vulfpeck, but Stratton shares songwriting credits ❤
I am absolutely enamoured with the band and have been for many years. I don’t respect that Robbie failed to share the royalties amongst the group! He does mention in an interview that the songwriter is the ‘low man on the totem pole’, however greed got the best of him in my view!🤷🏼♀️
I love the enthusiasm in Robertson's voice. ❤❤❤
He doesn't sing. It's levon
Why is the sound hollow till 3:04 then it sounds good till the end.
Anyone know the type of jacket Levon is wearing?
best music ever along with Lynyrd Skynyrd
Good grief. A bunch of racists. Sweet Home Alabama is a dreadful song.
great
What is thia full movie called?
"Scorzese" hahaha One of the Greatest directors
All departed, except Garth. He's in a nursing home, went after his wife died. I'm so sad
where can i get the full music video?
You can get it as Up on Cripple Creek from Big Pink. The quality of the video and of the track was not as good as this one. And the other thing is that it was not film at Big Pink but at Richard 's studio in Woodstock.
@@lorenzozambelli1727 uhm Wasn't on Big Pink
Was it on Tinker St?
Wow Clapton looks different everytime I see him
The genere of County Funk began and ended in 3min 35 seconds
"Loaded for Bear"!!!
King Gizzard is The Band of 2024.
Miles Davis said Joao Gilberto could read the newspaper and sound good and true enough, well that’s how I feel about Levon Helm
How come RR never had another hit after he broke up The Band?
What documentary is this called
Once were brothers
For the love of all things righteous...let the song play. I dont care others thoughts
Can someone link the original video of this performance please? I can't seem to find it.
It's a film called Once Were Brother
Same pictures but different take? Not the best sound and video quality but this is the full song (without the ending) I found :
ua-cam.com/video/MlegqCMcYGI/v-deo.html
I came home from an Illinois vacation in '69, it was like living in the ole south,bib overalls and all.cmecback to Lorain ohio, was on the beach, & this bouncy tune was on the air.always remember that...freshman in highschool." Lodilodi whooohoo"
American music,end of story.
If you read Levon’s book there wasn’t much solidarity especially when it came to royalties
Drugs, booze and partying, along with their manager pushing Robertson to be the star, was big part of it.
Bruce …hey buddy it’s me reality, they all wrote songs …now please shut up and let me enjoy this song ….
Mi sono iscritto 😁 bellissimo genere musicale :) avevo giá commentato ma è stato cancellato dal tubo presumo..
Ti ringrazio per l'iscrizione😉! Si, i The Band sono unici nel loro genere, peccato che qui in Italia sia così poco conosciuti... 😔
@@lorenzozambelli1727 sono la mia band preferita..😉sì qui in Italia sono poco conosciuti purtroppo, credo che non ci abbiano mai suonato anche
@@christianbleve8255 se non sbaglio una volta prima di diventare "the band" insieme a bob dylan ma solo levon e robbie...però si diciamo che non avrebbero raccolto nemmeno molto
@@lorenzozambelli1727 sono rimasti quasi esclusivamente tra Stati Uniti e Canada con qualche eccezione come il live del 71 alla Royal Albert Hall a Londra, Robbie ha da sempre avuto la "paura da palcoscenico".
@@christianbleve8255 se intendiamo il gruppo originario con robbie si, anche se sono andati in Francia, Olanda, Inghilterra e Spagna nel 1971 e basta. Negli anni post the last waltz invece hanno girato un po di più come Giappone Germania e Europa...ma il 90% lo hanno dato in America e Canada...
Robbie is First Nations
Now Garth is alone, the last of the mohicans
The fucking clav
Wendy Seldner
I feel for kids today, their music( if you can call it music sucks) They want to fit in with the crowd so they go along with it. They don't know the difference. Music without string or horns or keys or.skins is not music. Want to confuse a rapper? Put any musical instrument in their hands.😂😂😂
I have tried "The Band" a number of times and I don't get what the big deal was and or is about them. After Robertson's death last week I tried them again and I still don't see it. They are good players playing basically boring tunes....
Wonderous non scientific chemistry these guys had. Done for the love of brotherly creativity and sounding completely void of ego. The crap of singers becoming "stars" by covering other people's songs on the voice and american idol is so far removed from a true ensemble like The Band.
Only child RR calls their band a brotherhood, "powerfull"; but evidently not enough to divvy up the shares equal ... just sayin' ...
Yeah he, "wrote" the songs in black&white, but all five together painted the pictures that MADE the songs so colorful.
Just my 2 cents ...
They got publishing royalties, all equal. That was for the painting and the brotherhood. But Robbie wrote the songs.
your two cents are about worth two cents
Robbie the betrayer. It’s true the good die young.
Give your head a shake, Springsteen. It wasn't just Robbie's writing. It was a collaboration. Robertson ( with Albert Grossman's help ) ripped off "his brothers."
Robbie Robertson is one of the greatest song writers, EVER. HIs solo career after is loaded with wonderful, meaningful songs.
Why the hell is Martin in the review wanna be
Nobody sounded like Led Zeppelin too
Who put those idiots talking over the music 😮💨
Martin Scorzese
@@lorenzozambelli1727 figures, hasn't done anything good for decades
"This Brotherhood Was So Powerful" I decided to destroy it.
Not as powerful as the song writing royalties apparently
Drugs destroyed it.
@@cymbelinedark4233 Robbie could have helped his brothers out when they really needed it but he didn’t.
It’s hilarious when people think they know other people’s hearts in their personal relationships, lol. Only The Beatles could destroy The Beatles, nobody can destroy America but Americans and no, Robbie Robertson didn’t destroy the drugs, drinks and party. He just left it behind.
I’m a fan of both Levon and Robbie yet it’s evident Levon died bitter on his own. Even with Robbie at his dying bed.
Richard Manuel committed suicide so surely that’s not Robbie’s fault either? Then again, people get sore when their brains are limited to understand that R&R isn’t a stable or lasting career for most.
@@floobuscanoobus (1) "Helping" an addict is sometimes the worst thing you can do; and (2) how do you know he didn't?
When the boss is losing his shit. You have to respect
"Three of the greatest white singers in rock history"...what a fuckin` insult!
Could have done without any opinion from liberal Springsteen
And the people said amen
Bruce is the BOSS 😂😂😂
"Greatest White Singers of all time"??WTF does that even mean? So they are great for white guys??
If only Kanye could join these on stage then my life would be complete!
Robbie talking about “brotherhood”. Sadly laughable
A good band. But I never understood the hype. They wrote … is it five great songs? Maybe just four. Overrated.
😂 painfully untrue
@@kevinkeith3530painfully stupid.. and from the mouth of a child evidently. Bob Dylan had (has) a knack for picking them.. this is just one group he kind of brought to everyone’s attention as I recall as a kid then. There were others.
Interesting point though. If you reckon a handful of their songs are great, but not the rest, well, you're right. And if that's what makes a band great for you, then you're right there too. If you love everything they did, every obscure outtake and scribbled half-idea on the back of a napkin, you're right about that too.
They were the greatest...they were kind of OK and everyone has just jumped on the "they were the greatest" Band-wagon because that's what you're supposed to say...they were of their time and captured a zeitgeist for a lucky few who can truly feel that delight...they had a far-reaching influence because of their music, or because of their ethic and the feel of what they seemed to be about...they're only worth listening to because Counting Crows are amazing and I heard Adam Duritz loves them so that's interesting as an influence...
I don't know, it's interesting what makes a band "great" in the wider world of rock & roll opinion.
I agree, but some people make a comment like 'they only have 4 good songs ' when they've never heard the full albums and are just going off what they've heard on the radio or a greatest hits album.
Painfully true. Their oeuvre is a mixed bag. Most of it sounds rough, inchoate.
