I was there. Hearing this makes the hair on my neck stand up. What a night, and to be a part of rock and roll history! We bought tickets to a concert (I don't even remember who) and that show got cancelled. We were given a choice, our money back or tickets to The Last Waltz with The Band. We were so fortunate. ❤🎉
You were definitely blessed to see him at that concert. I only saw him once in an arena. He was definitely not impressed with speaker system. I had front row seats , it was a memorable time .
I watch this today, 8/9/23, with tears rolling down my cheeks. With the passing of Robbie Robertson, all the members of The Band, who I listened to in my little room, on my quadraphonic 8-track stereo, as a teenager in the ‘70s, are gone except Garth. Dylan and The Band were a huge part of the sound track of my youth. May God rest his soul. Rest in Peace, Robbie Robertson.
@@bigrich6750 Rich Danko and RIch Manuel was doing heroin, Levon too. The all smoked pot, and did cocaine and other stuff, but I Robbie did not do herion, I don't think Garth did either. Read Robbie's book Testimony, it's fascinating and gives a great insight not only to Dylan and the Band, but also that time period sixties into the seventies.
And was so greedy to "fu.k" all the other members of "The band". Greedy and opportunist to "play" the others that were at their lowest cause of the H. Just sad facts,just a "wise ass" backstabber
You nailed it. Music of this caliber is sadly amongst the missing today. Bob and the Band changed rock music forever for the good. Recordings such as this will always be a benchmark I think.
Saw Last Waltz in the theater recently with my 25 year old grandchild. We sang along as most others did. Then Bob came on and started singinging forever young. We cried, we just sat and cried.
I had the good fortune to meet Dylan many years ago in Ohio. I spoke to him for several hours as he relaxed in my uncles farmhouse. He shared many ideas with me, one of which has stayed with me through the years. Dylan was a great advocate of moleskin pants. He claimed they gave you a solid base from which to face the world. Well, sir, I been wearing them ever since and I love them and I do believe they protected me from Covid 19 also.
I LOVE the moment they segue from "Forever Young" into "Let Me Follow You Down." Levon, Robbie and Rick all look at Dylan as if to say "Okay, Bob...where you goin' with this?" Then it all comes together like a perfect recipe. RIP, Robbie.
Yeah, the best moment of the 'Last Waltz'. I have to think they had no idea what Dylan was up to but it sure didn't fool them. Levon straining to keep his eyes on Dylan from behind with Rick & Robbie focused on the movements of Dylan's hands. Rick knows what's up as soon as Dylan's first chord; the way he breaks into that smile & immediately starts bouncing.
Robbie saw clear enough to have a right out celebration concert to end it all of at the peak of their powers. A monumental concert put on film by Scorsese. For us all to enjoy and for some few lucky ones to remember. Beautiful and powerful art.
Dylan was much criticized for bringing The Band on tour with him!! But, the joy he had playing with them is so evident in this incredible performance! R.I.P. ROBBIE ROBERTSON AND THANK YOU YOU INCREDIBLE MASTER OF MUSIC!
HOLY SHITZ -RockN Roll at its FINEST!!! How young they all were in this & now Robbie has left this plane & caught that ride into the next realm, wow-fly & rock on wherever U R now man… We still got the music, the latter tune-i didn’t want to end, JAMMIN, man were they JAMMIN there!! 😱😱😱❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🌞🌞🌞❗️❗️❗️
Great moment at about 4:17… Bob plays a D7 and you can actually see Bob mouth the words “7th” to Robbie, a chord perfect for transitioning to “Let Me Follow You Down”. Once he starts the riff The Band immediately jumps in, its so perfect it seems like they worked it out in advance, but it’s wild that it was completely impromptu by Bob
What’s crazy is that Dylan with long hair and also being so chilled out here… he kinda starts to look like Bob Marley. Two supremely gifted individuals
The lyrics man... he was really a genius though he hates all the fuss, but im gonna say thanx for keeping us forever young, god bless this brilliant music...
The greatest musicians in the world are not the ones who are the most technically proficient or can pull off the flashiest solos, but those who can lock into what’s going on around them and serve the song. That is why I’m arguing that The Band has the world’s most incredible players. Throughout this concert, they proved they can play in a variety of different genres, back up an eclectic mix of artists, and make it all sound seamless. I tip my hat to Robbie, Levon, Richard, Rick, and Garth for being the best in the biz!
I so agree! However, I totally appreciate and make an exception to Steely Dan for their expectations of technical perfection. They brought together the best session musicians in the world. 😁.
@@cbennett196631 of course there is,The Beatles were groundbreaking and great musicians but in no way are they the best ever musicians. The Band were a lot more versatile and could switch instruments and singers for different songs with ease.
I'd argue that Little Feat captures both the technical proficiency musicianship while also creating an amazing atmosphere with their sound. Maybe not my #1 top band but definitely up there. The Band had amazing collaborations as well as original music that will always be timeless.
I joined the Navy in 1978, and I can say that these songs were played by the guys often. Be it Scotland, The Azores or Israel - I listened to this. Made me think of home.
Was first footage I’d seen of Bob when my brother bought the last waltz video when we were teenagers. My mum was forced to watch it dozens of times. Her favourite was forever young. Love that hat.
The interplay between them. The combined two songs is my love story with my woman. A million thank you's to Bob, Garth, Levon, Richard, Rick, and Robbie!
Dylan at his very best. Blessed to see him about four years ago. Would have loved to see him live in his prime…. RIP Robbie. Thanks for all the music…. Looks like the Band is finally back together.
74 through 76 proved to be a triumphant second coming of Dylan: this concert, the RTRT two legged tour, plus Blood on the Tracks and Desire were classics. On top of all that there was also the belated official release of the Basement Tapes and I thought that Planet Waves was vastly underrated. Yeah, I would have given my left bollock to see him play live in this era of sublime creativity.
@@fungiformenow Good for you. If you don’t like him why waste time sh!t posting about him? Too negative to find something you actually like yourself are you, and so miserable that you won’t allow someone else to enjoy something because you don’t enjoy it, eh? Get a life!
yet another timeless, universal, and forever poetic way of weaving together music to let us know that even in our uncertainty there is a human spirit that we share...
Great music played with great energy, joy and fun. Good luck Robbie. Thanks to him, the rest of The Band, and Dylan for wonderful music when I was young and throughout my life. I am 72 now and still love this music. I now like finding, and being turned on by new young artists in small clubs and pubs in London U.K.
Id like to dedicate this on 2-22-21 to my Dad on his passing RIP Thank you for making me who I am. You're on the trip of a Lifetime and I will love you forever ♥️🌹💀🙏
You can see that The Band was peaking that night. Those beautiful heartfelt Robbie Robertson solos are just perfect. And you can tell that Bob was pulling a fast one on them with the decision to segue into “Baby Let Me Follow You Down.” But they flowed with it seamlessly, as if they had rehearsed it. And Rick Danko’s smile says it all. They were the greatest backup band in the world for a night.
never knew they segue the two songs together. All-time great musicianship. You can see it in Robertson's eyes- he knew one seconds in advance what to do.
I was a secondary school student when I went to watch the waltz movie here in Casablanca Morocco sometimes in 1977 I guess … I still remember these lost days full of enthusiasm & dreams , now I am 64 years old .
R.I.P. Robbie... You are and will remain one of my most important musicians... So many good songs!!! Storyville - one of my favourite albums... The Last Waltz - Great Concert and Movie!! And the time with Bob Dylan -----> you've influenced me a lot!!
Every musician on stage is checking on Dylan every few seconds...look at them giving Dylan quick glances, even Robertson in the middle of a solo. They are all following and serving the genius.
Did you go to the ‘74 tour with Bob Dylan & The Band? I was there, lol, 4 times! We liked them so much that we followed them!! College days, could get by with it then! Fabulous memories!!

I think I would have cried if I had been there to witness this beauty! History in the making!
They'll never be another Bob Dylan. There'll never be another, "The Band."
R.I.P. Robbie. Thanks to you & The Band for all the timeless music.
Just so and well said. Another giant gone
I'm absolutely devastated rip.
HE,S PLAYING IN THE GREAT GIG IN THE SKY KNOW WITH ALL THE GREAT ROCK AND ROLLER,S WHO HAVE GONE BEFORE. PEACE TO YOU ALL MY FRIEND'S. 🙏✌️😎🏴

This may be tasteless but I am surprised Dylan outlived them all.

A Quick One While He’s Away, at Rock n Roll Circus. Highly recommend.

Im not a religious man. Gawd bless Robby!. The Band changed the world. Love ya Robby! Rest in piece my friend.
Bob Dylan and The Band were just made for each other.
That hat alone makes this one of Dylans best performaces.
Am i the onlly one listening on my 81st birthday??????
No but I am 71
I played this Bob Dylan (Forever Young) song at my dad's 65th birthday and retirement party - it was perfect. ♥

Rest in Paradise Robbie, ❤ thankyou for your wonderful and timeless contribution to music 🎶
I've loved you guys for 60+ years. When we've all crossed over to the other side, I plan on hearing you perform this in person. It's about time❤❤❤❤❤
Robbie saw clear enough to have a right out celebration concert to end it all of at the peak of their powers. A monumental concert put on film by Scorsese. For us all to enjoy and for some few lucky ones to remember. Beautiful and powerful art.
Un fing believable!!.. simply put ...together they were the best!
I saw Dylan with The Band in Madison Square Garden 1974. I was 25 then and I cherish the memory. RIP Robbie.
That must have been fantastic! When they got back together and made the Planet Waves album including Forever Young.
We love you, admire you and are eternally grateful for the thrills you gave us all. Still giving us...The last Waltz. Burnt into our psyche.
Robby R l P what a lovely man and you singing with BOB and the Band just fantastic thanks
Only Garth Hudson left. What an honor this music is to be left to exist. I love each and every one of you. Godspeed Robbie
RIP Canada's Robbie Robertson life is lived in just an instant
Bless you Robbie. You will live forever young.

RIP Robbie Robertson, may you stay forever young
So great. Forever young ❤ Robbie Robertson
Happy BIrthday Bob. 83
Rip Levon, Rick, Richard, and Robbie.
Probably the only performer in the world that could stand beside Dylan on a stage and be naturally acceptable as an equal. Dylans face shows it all.
Robbie and the band no one as good fantastic thanks
RIP Robbie. Always remembered
This song must be one of the best song riten and the music with it truly brilliant thank you
HOLY SHITZ -RockN Roll at its FINEST!!!

The lyrics man... he was really a genius though he hates all the fuss, but im gonna say thanx for keeping us forever young, god bless this brilliant music...
Bob Dylan and The Band -- it just doesn't get any better than this.
Certainly doesn't.
In love with his perspective on life. He touches my soul. Always has.
It most CERTAINLY does not!!!!
You've got that right. Music today doesn't come close to this. RIP Robbie ❤
RIP Robbie, only one member of The Band left now. One by one the greats are leaving us never to be replaced.

Rest in peace, Robbie Robertson!
Love the changeover. Bob mouths to Robbie "let me follow you" and Levon waits for the prompt too. Seamless.
I'm in tears. RIP Robbie. I grew up with you and Bob all those years ago. Your music is timeless.
May u rest in peace amen alleluia

"Baby Let Me Follow You Down" is my fave Dylan song, he puts aside all the folky social awareness pretensions and just rocks
They were Dylan s backup band. !😊
I KNOW - that's when the magic happens. everyone was on FIYAH that night. what an epic historical concert and film!
If Dylan shows up for you, it's going to be a hell of a show.
never knew they segue the two songs together. All-time great musicianship. You can see it in Robertson's eyes- he knew one seconds in advance what to do.
