Now you have to hear The Band singing The Weight, from this same show, words can't describe how good it is!
Yes! "The Weight" From The Last Waltz.
Yeah, the "Staples Singers" really ad something special on "The Weight".
Robbie Robertson - an absolute legend. I think the Band were vastly underrated by the general public
Definitely a super group.
Agree but those of us who know,know
The Band was underrated? That's a first time I've heard that!
@@Elaine8492 They were not underrated, but considering how superb they were, not enough people know about them.
Speaking of the legend - Richard Manuel.
One of the Greats! Watch their concert “the Last Watz”! 😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
We sure didn't want the Band to say goodbye..but they did it in grand fashion with this show. The drummer got a lot of acting work in the 80's 90's...Still the best singing drummer all time!
Rick Danko the bass player is a lovely singer too.
Danko's my hero.
@@joelong7448 An "aw shucks" sort of ordinary guy who figured out how to be extraordinary. I really miss him and Levon. Every song they played, their hearts were on their sleeves.
They were Bob Dylan’s backing band and obviously a band in their own right. This video is part of the film “the last waltz”. They played their last concert here and invited all their music friends to join them. Check out the movie. You won’t be disappointed. I have recently discovered you you tube and I am loving your reactions
It wasn't their last concert. They toured for years and years afterwards. It was Robbie Robertson's last gig with them.
@@bartstarr100 I saw 4/5 of The Band in a bar in Toronto in the early 80's, but I never saw The Band in concert.
Welcome aboard! Warm greetings from Romania 💚
@@UKcanuck55Saw all but Robbie at a benefit at Kezar stadium. It was billed as Neil Young & friends,Neil,them & (wait for it) Bob Dylan. In1975, could not believe it. Pretty sure he never played with them again. It had been a while then.Look that up, you won't believe the line up. Again, benefit for SF schools.5 bucks, at least 60,000.
@@UKcanuck55 so nobody played guitar? Interesting take. I saw 3/4 of Alice in Chains then. I also saw 3/4 of Metallica. Also saw 3/4 of The Who. This is fun. Any band we see missing any original member was just some guys. Got it.
If you haven't reacted to it yet, check out the collaboration between The Band and the Staples Singers on the song "The Weight". You will love it.
Levon lived near me late in his life in Woodstock, and had repurposed an old barn as a performance space, and performed for free every third Thursday for whoever showed up from the local community. It was a rotating group of musicians, and Levon's health was not great, but the space put you right on top of the musicians.
That must have been special. Plus, anyone who attended a performance could say they went to Woodstock!
@markmurphy558 To say I'm jealous would be a huge understatement. Levon is simply amazing.
Levon always came across as a gentle man, I could hear him speak all day.
Robbie Robertson was a Canadian Native American but the singer Levin Helm was a Southerner from Arkansas. This song was inspired by Robbie's visit to Levon Helm's Fathers home. His father said "The South will rise again." Robbie wanted to capture that spirit if the defeated but not conquered Southerner. Robert E. Lee was one of the more important Confederate (Southern) generals. In this song he is riding by after the fall of Richmond (Confederate Capitol). You guys are just awesome to watch.
The drummer, the late Levon Helm, 10:55 was lead vocalist on most of their songs. The lead guitarist, Robbie Robertson, was the main song writer and band leader. A great band, they were first the backup band for Ronnie Hawkins, known as Ronnie Hawkins and the Hawks. They later became Bob Dylan’s band during the early years of after Bob “went electric”. Bob referred to them as “the band”, and so the name stuck and was adopted after their own recording career began. As for the history, the Civil War was fought over whether slavery, lawful and the foundation of the economy in the southern states, would continue or be ended. It is accepted in America, except by some in the South, that the Union - the North - held the moral high ground. Thanks for another wonderful reaction…..you guys are superb and my favorite reactors!
I live in New York and I don't think Lincoln and Washington held the high moral ground,Slavery was a very small part of the civil war,It would have died out on it's own,It was fought about states right and an overreaching power of the Federal Govt! We are still suffering from that war!
Richard Manual was the main vocalist in the beginning of their career. However due to alcoholism and health, he became less and less a force in the band.
I wouldn't say most of their songs when both Danko and Manuel both sang on quite a few songs.Helm definitely sang the most songs but The Band had 3 real lead singers.
@@smedleybutler1969 I love that you love and have named yourself after the great Smedley Butler. But I must say one thing -- while the narrative you bring here definitely has SOME support, in total it is not true.
The United States was a nation deeply divided by slavery, from our inception. Even slaveowner Thomas Jefferson wanted an anti-slavery and impliedly abolitionist clause that he had written, kept in the Declaration of Independence in 1776 - but the southern colonies/states walked out of the Continental Congress and he had to strike the clause from the final draft, at the behest of Ben Franklin and John Adams. He continued to champion this cause when in 1787 he spearheaded the Northwestern Ordinance, forbidding slavery in the newly acquired states of the northern territories ceded by Britain but which Americans had not yet settled.
All the northern states were abolishing or were in process of abolishing slavery, from the 1780's through the 1830's, and ALL of them had abolished slavery completely before 1850. We were a divided nation -- hence Lincoln's campaign words in his debate with Stephen Douglas -- "a house divided against itself cannot stand."
The whole reason the southern states seceded from the Union at the accession of Lincoln to the Presidency in 1861, was because the new-found Republican Party was an ANTI-SLAVERY party. It had its radical wing, that wanted immediate and total abolition, without recompensing the slaveowners, and possibly even enforced by military conquest. The more moderate wing, closer to the Democrats, wanted only to maintain the Union, to allow the southern states to maintain their "peculiar institution" of slavery, but to STOP slavery from expanding any further out into the newly greatly expanded continental-sized nation. And there were people in the middle.
It's often pointed out that Lincoln said things like he would have preserved the Union but kept slavery, had the option been presented to him. But if you look at his whole development over those tragic four years, you see his genuine intent, not only with the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, freeing all slaves held in bondage in those states in rebellion (but NOT those border states that had remained part of the Union like Kentucky and Tennessee), even then it was made inevitable that it would be a total abolition at the end of the war. And in January 1865, it was Lincoln who PUSHED so relentlessly to get that 13th Amendment passed in Congress -- his greatest and final act, a mere three months before he died.
Everyone knew that this conflict was most centrally about slavery -- it was felt as a stain and a mark on our national character and our national pride, heritage and legacy, from the very beginning. But politics had to be played -- they couldn't just out and say it at the very beginning of the conflict especially -- even in the North they couldn't. It's a long story.
But I think you're only getting one side, which has recently sort of taken over in certain conservative circles. And it is true that there was a metamorphosis of Federal power over State power as a result of that conflict. And that's where you're right, and I support what you are presenting. But to lose sight of the fact that it WAS a war in which the abolition of slavery within the United States, or its continued existence and our continued shame, praising and stating that we stood for liberty and freedom and equality and yet still keeping people in bondage, was the central spiritual meaning of that entire conflict.
And We the People of the United States of America should feel incredibly proud that, not only did our northern States abolish slavery earlier than anybody else in the world, including Great Britain, which famously ended it in the British Empire in 1833 -- and from which the British actually got the idea -- but not only that, the British paid off all the slaveholders of the Empire -- they actually BOUGHT all the slaves and then freed them.
The United States of America is the only modern nation-state that can claim that we actually shed blood on the battlefield in our conflict to end slavery. The United States lost something like 650,000 men on the battlefield alone (I include the Confederacy -- it was about half and half -- both sides lost over 300,000 each). And I include the Confederate soldiers in my thoughts too, because whether they knew it or not, that's actually what they died for, even if they were being presented by their leaders with a narrative that the war was only and solely about sovereign States' rights.
@@smedleybutler1969hilariously wrong. Wow. Go back to school. A real school this time. It was about slavery. Pretty straightforward and accurate. If it was about States rights, then why wasn't the Fugitive Slave act about States rights. You've bought the KKK version hook, line, and sinker.
They had three lead singers. This was in 1976, it was from their finale concert and it was called The Last Waltz. It was filmed and a movie was released in 1978 and a ton of music superstars played in it.
GREAT CHOICE!!! I live in Richmond Va (Capitol of Dixie..slang for the South) ...i love that yall did this! Lotta history here. Ty MOA ☘️ 🇺🇲!!!
A song set in the American Civil War and the singer mentions the "summer of '65" which is 1865. Dixie is the American South and he refers to the northern raid on Richmond VA.
This is from their last concert, The Last Waltz. Hand down the best concert EVER put on film.
Except The Band went back to touring without Robbie.
And all the people were sanging. I love this song so much!
I absolutely adore the two of you. Your interactions with each other are so genuine. Your reactions to these songs you choose are thoughtful, meaningful and interesting.
I second that!
Amen!!
You should definitely listen to their performance of "It Makes No Difference" from this concert, The Last Waltz, from 1976. Rick Danko, their bassist, takes on lead vocal and it is one of the most passionate, intense vocals ever put on tape.
This is one of my all-time favorite songs!
From the film of The Band's final performance,"The Last Waltz" by Martin Scorcese - the greatest concert film ever made. The show's lineup is a roll call of legends: Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Ringo Starr, Dr. John, The Staple Singers, Neil Diamond, Van Morrison, Paul Butterfield, Ron Wood, Emmy Lou Harris... you get the idea.
Not their final performance. It may have been planned that way, but they sure kept touring without Robbie. I can show you videos.
612,000 casualties in the American Civil War. More died than all our other wars combined. A real tragedy, in that the deaths were all Americans inflicted on ourselves.
Arkansas proud, Levon Helm.
Me, too, brother.
The Late Great Levon Helm. He was the main singer, could play anything. A proud southern man from Arkansas, lived his adult life in upstate New York up until his passing.
He never lost his beautiful country drawl.
I believe this song is more about personal loss during the Civil War than any historical figure. It begins "Virgil Kane is my name," which could be any person living in Tennessee during the Civil War. A moving and beautiful song.
Greetings from Danville VA, home of the Danville train mentioned on this song. Love this song...thanks for reacting. ❤
Thanks for listening 💚
Yes he was singing with passion. In the South many of us still smell the powder burning.
I really love your channel. You can tell how much you appreciate music. I love your accents, as well.
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoy it! 😊
Me too. You are sincere and authentic and genuine.
The song was written by Robbie Robertson - oddly enough - a Canadian
With input from Levon. Levon was the one who told him he needed to mention Robert E. Lee.
My great great grandfather commanded a brigade in the Confederate Army , CSA . He was the oldest of 4 brothers . He and his youngest brother were killed in two separate battles and his other two brothers were both wounded and captured in a third battle . The Confederacy won most of the battles but lost the war because they ran out of men .
😳
Yes, the South was pretty low on men compared to the Union, even with a large percentage of the Union Army in the west fighting native americans. They even had a few guarding the Canadian border, those Canucks weren't always as non threatening as now.
In my opinion one of the most underrated bands. Each member a master musician in their own right. Fate put them together and we should be so grateful for that. Levon (drummer) was the only American and sang many of their songs. Canadians Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Robbie Roberson and Garth Hudson finish out the band. Lead vocals at times were performed by Rick Danko and Richard Manuel. Their catalog of songs is well worth checking out. They really don't have a bad song.
You need to check out one of the BEST videos on the net of The Band and The Staples Singers performing "The Weight" from this concert (the Last Waltz). I know you reacted to the Playing for Change Version (which is great too) but the Last Waltz version is incredible.
My friends were listening to Donny Osmond I was listening to The Band....thank goodness ❤🙂🇨🇦🎶
You had weird friends.
@@johnperrigo6474 I was lucky I had cool older sisters
This was 1976. And 4 of them take turns at lead vocal.
3 singers. Robbie didn't sing until he was a solo act. And Garth doesn't sing
"Dixie" is a nickname for the American South. So, the chorus is Virgil's complex feelings about the moment they lost the war. Robert E. Lee was their chief general.
Thank you for playing this song. I'm Cherokee and German. I am also a southern 😊
Dixie is a term denoting the southern United States
Levon Helm -- the main inspiration for the Band's music, with a truly unique singing voice.
That really isen't true, he inspired Robbie to write this song, but Robbie was the song writer. The Shape I'm in, is a song Robbie wrote about Richard Manuel, due to his addiction problems. Stage Freight perhaps about himself and/or Rick Danko. However, you are right Levon had a very unique voice and a great drummer, but Richard and Rick also had unique voices. I happend to love Rick's voice.
Good evening to my favorite reactors. Peace and love to you both
Greetings from Romania 💚
The Amereicxan Civil war was fought over slaverey. The thing is you had family vs Family on many occasions.
Levon Helm the drummer was the main vocalist on many of their songs. The piano player Richard Manuel was the vocalist on one song that I know of and the bass player, Mike Danko was lead on one that I know of.
Rick Danko
@@oldairyheir My bad
I LOVE LOVE LOVE this song!! ❤❤ Could listen to it a thousand times and never get tired of it!!
Please do more from The Last Waltz please!
This is from The Last Waltz one of the best rock movies out there. You should watch the movie you will learn things.
Dixie, the south stood against repression from the north, The pillaging from north, The battle flag (stars and bars) was changed and used because they were almost identical prior and friendly fire from confusion, also x in flag was used for signing name back then if you couldn't write, people confuse the fact that the flag stood against repression and not any pigment of skin.
Very nice reaction 👍👍
The more you learn about this band, it’s history, it’s members, their music, and this very special evening and the film directed by Martin Scorsese of this night and the fantastic interviews he does with its members, the more you’ll want to know. You’ll get more than enough information about this very special concert from your well informed fans. I really hope you wind up reacting to every song from this concert. It’s considered one of, if not the greatest concert film of all time. As always, the two of you provide a touching response to art. Thank You
"The Band" was a Canadian-American rock band formed in 1967. They started out as the "Hawks", the backing group for singer Ronnie Hawkins & later they were the back up band for Bob Dylan. Their most popular songs included "The Weight" & "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down". But they had a lot of other great songs such as "Up On Cripple Creek", "King Harvest (Has Surely Come)", "The Shape I'm In", "Ophelia", "It Makes No Difference" etc.
I first heard this song in i believe 1967 or 1969. I was a young teen. And i remember thinking that this song could have been written 100 years earlier. During the civil war. It is a brilliant song that will be played 100 years from now. Robbie and levon were geniuses. Robbie wrote the song after visiting Levon and his parents in Tennessee. Robbie had a long conversation with Levons dad about the south and civil war. The dad , being a true southern patriot. Told robbie that the south would rise again. That's what inspired robbie to write this song. Amazing that robbie is a Canadian and wrote such a great song about American history.
Great story. Thank you for sharing 💚
It warms my heart that you liked this performance because I like you guys and this was one of my favorite groups when they were around. As others may have said, all were born in Canada except the drummer and lead vocalist, Levon Helm who was born in the South (Arkansas). This video clip came their "farewell" performance "The Last Waltz" . You may have already done a reaction to the song "The Weight" , also from the video documentary.
This concert was called "The Last Waltz" and was the last performance of the group before they stopped touring. It was recorded around Thanksgiving in '78 by the legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese. Levon Helm who played drums and sang was one of the primary vocalists of the group although Robbie Robertson and Rick Danko also sang lead. I saw these guys 3 times live and one of those times was when they were backing up Dylan on his mega comeback tour. It was kind of ironic that they were winding down as Dylan was mysteriously reappearing after a long time in obscurity. To see them both together was a once in a lifetime opportunity. Great great live band - the best really.
I remember that I had the single record of the version by Joan Baez, this was back in 1971, it's a great song. Thanks so much for your reaction. 😊😊
I love Joan, but she butchered the lyrics.
Crazy story but I was born in 1964 and I lived in western Pennsylvania and within walking distance from my house was a little country store that me and my 4 siblings visited a lot sold candy and sodas and we were there a lot and they had a jukebox with this song on it and they were right on the Mason Dixon line which separated the North from the South and it was called the Dixie Diner and the owner was really old and every time we played this song he sat in his rocking chair and tears rolled down his cheeks! I was just a kid and now I’m 60 years old and I still see Smiley’s face! ( that is what everyone called him)! Just a powerful memory for me every time I hear this Song!!!
Wow, thank you for sharing. Much love from Romania 💚
As usual honest and pure reaction, luv y'all from Dixie
Another song from The Band and from this concert that hits me emotionally. Levon's voice is so real.
so much talent in this group!
Levon Helm (drummer) played the father of Loretta Lynn in the famous movie "Coal Miner's Daughter". He was absolutely brilliant in that role!
This is probably the best version I've heard. I'm a Yankee and damn proud of it. We fought to abolish slavery. Yet I wonder if there were more lovers of this band in the North when this was new, than in the South because when and where I grew up, these guys, and Little Feat (which many attribute to being a band from the South - they weren't. Actually The Band had a couple members from Canada) and Allman Bros., The Outlaws, Flying Burrito Bros., The Dillards, off the top. Lynard Skynard came a little later. HUGE following and appreciation in the North for that Southern Rock sound.
Awesome reaction to a beautiful song. Levon is awesome
Levon played the elderly weapons expert in the movie Shooter
He played that role perfectly
Great reaction and a wee historical explainer too.
This was one of the greatest filmed concerts of all time.
The drummer, Levon Helm, was amazing and singing at the same time.
A bit like rubbing your belly with one hand and patting your head at the same time with the other. Try it!!
The subtitles are hilarious!
The American Civil War showed how divided a country can become. One of the most heart wrenching things was that even a family was so divided that many times two men fought on opposite sides.
This performance is from the movie "The Last Waltz". The band played back up for so many famous musicians plus they had their own catalog of songs. You should consider watching "The Last Waltz", it was a final concert before a breakup and they played with so many famous people that they had played with over the years. A real phenomenal concert!!! Oh and I love you guys, keep up the great work / reactions.
Written as a Southerner’s perspective about the American Civil War, and the Northerners invading the South. I was a young musician when this movie came out in 1978. I went to see it at the theatre about 8 times!
“There goes The Robert E Lee” was about a ship named after a Confederate General being observed by Virgil from his mountain home looking down into a river.
Song about the American civil war from the early 1860s to the mid 1860s. (Union) states vs the Southern states. Abraham Lincoln was President. As the war was basically won by the North, some of the Generals of the Union Army went through the defeated south, and ransacked people's farms and property for themselves. Think Russia in Germany after the end of WWII. This was not ordered, or endorsed by the Army, but simply something that was done by various officers in the army. The south was devastated and poor from the war, and many were starving. The Army would simply take their horses, and cattle, chickens, and even art and jewelry from these people. They were known as "Carpetbaggers." They were the minority, but they were bad people. Some were shot by the military after a court Marshal.
Thanks folks
Thank you for the info. Peace and love 💚
My town was ransomed and burned by the Confederate army. Horrible war.
I have never liked the whole south thing, growing up a northerner. This song has grown on me so much since the first time i saw it in movie theater 1976.. heard it probably 500 times over the years and certainly didnt dislike the song, but never seeked it out either. About 15 years ago watched The Last Waltz again.. WAS COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY BY WATCHING LEVON SING THIS SONG!!! The passion , the great lyrics, his brilliant singing, the SOUL.. AND THERE IS THAT SOMETHING EXTRA IN THIS SONG.. THE UNDESCRIBABLE!! So to me this version is an ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE!! As good as any live performance in any song. HUGE HUGE FAN!!
I truly wish I could go back in time and watch this in a theatre for the first time again. I doubt I knew much if anything about the movie/concert going in - it would have been a great surprise and great experience. What a concert/movie! Still amazing and incredible after all these years!
Great band!! Robbie Robertson went onto have a great solo career; after the Band stopped. ❤
The Band didn't stop. They continued without Robbie for years and years.
So good! God Bless The South
loved this, thanks guys
Levon was often the lead vocalist, but not exclusively. Great song, great band. Love your heartfelt reactions.
The drummer was one of three lead singers. They basically all sang and sang well and were all multi instrumentalists..
There are three must see music movies - the first is “The Last Waltz” which is directed by Martin Scorsese and is about The Bands final show (I was friends with the Bands drummer, bass player and organ player, back in the 1970’s! They are my “Beatles”). Then watch the 2013 documentary on Muscle Shoals recording studios. Then watch “Standing in the Shadows of Motown”, a documentary about the Funk Brothers!
Peace
This concert was their last time they played together. They had been together for almost 20 years at this point.
Try “It Makes No Difference” from this same concert. They are a very deep rabbit hole to explore.
The last time with Robbie. Not their last performance.
A fan of The Band was Elton John, and he wrote and recorded - Levon - The Band's drummer's name.
If u liked Levon Helms vocals he has great other songs with great lyrics on his own😎 try anything off the album Electric Dirt, Dirt Farmer!!!!
Like my father before me,I’ll work the land 🇺🇸
150 years later (2009) the Danville train still ran along the James River through the back yard of the place where I used to live in Richmond, VA. The railroad still ran one train a day back and forth between Richmond and Danville. Used to think of this song every time the daily train rolled by.
Levon Helm, one of the greatest voices in rock. Ever. He's the American of The Band and from the south. Rick Danko was also a lead vocalist for The Band. As was Richard Manuel. Three of the great voices of the last half of the 20th century. The best band of the 20th century.
I love this band -- such talent. Robbie Robertson had some phenomenal solo work later on.
My sister was at this show. She still rolls one up when the band is playing.
I just keep coming back to you guys! It’s such a REFRESHING take on music. It’s odd I go half way around the world for GREAT reactions and to hear songs that mean something, no?
Maybe..we are all closer than we think. Funny what music can do.
You two are so in my wheelhouse. Thanks for taking me back to real music with such fresh new eyes.
Lovely! We are happy you joined us on our musical journey. Warm greetings from Romania 💚
The Band had three lead singers, Levon Helm (drums), Rick Danko (base), Richard Manuel (piano).
Great song and reaction
I remember seeing them as a kid at an outdoor arena.
Bass player Rick Danko and drummer Levon Helm each took the lead on "The Band's" many songs. This video was from the documentary film "The Last Waltz" (directed by Martin Scorsese) which showcases the final concert given by The Band. Many of the greats in music gave stellar performances to add to the magic of this amazing concert. It is widely considered to be the best filming of a music concert ever. It was suggested below, and I definitely agree, that you should review pretty much every song from this amazing film!
You two should watch the whole film The Last Waltz directed by Martin Scorsese. The whole band can sing and play different instruments and there's many guests in the film.
I cherish this band
I have no idea how Robbie Robertson could possibly come up with the incredible lyrics he did in nearly every song. It was like channeling the ghosts of long lost people. I think he must have been a voracious reader and got his ideas from books. I have no other explanation for the brilliance of songs like this.
A couple of songs to listen to if you want to hear the other singers: "Rockin' Chair, sung by Richard Manual, and "It Makes no Difference," sung by Rick Danko.
Thank you 👍
He was a main vocalist and the only American and a Southerner from Arkansas.....his ancestors fought for the Confederacy. . The other band members were Canadian. This was A live recording a the Last Waltz filmed in 1978
I'm from NOLA and it's a liberal city, but the heartbreak about driving Ole Dixie Down, to me wasn't about slavery as much as it was about the damn yankees taking our homesteads, burning them to the ground and pillaging everything and everyone and that included doing horrible things that were perpetuated on all women. It's an incredibly sad song to me💙💙🇺🇲🇺🇲✌️✌️
Don't blame all Yankees. I was born and raised up North but live in Tennessee now.
@@markhaus2830 I'm not blaming all yankees, I was stating facts. Apparently, you like the south enough that you reside there. Come to me with facts or don't come to me at all💙💙🇺🇲🇺🇲✌️✌️
Very true 👍 people forget that the south stood against repression, and over reach ect.. north would be more like british aristocrats and some of the same things being done still from the previous war with britain onto them and sanctions that were devastating, hence succession ect...
By the end of the four year Civil War (1861-1865) one quarter of the adult white men in the south were dead and another quarter were wounded. The southerners fought harder than any other group in American history (except some Indian tribes) for their independence, so when their capital fell and their nation was crushed, it was a tremendous trauma to the people who suffered such losses only to be crushed.
America has 10 times the population today as during the Civil War, and back then on all sides, military and civilians dead from the war was about 1 million, so today it would be like us having 10 million die over 4 years! That shows just how massive it was! People see 9-11, natural disasters, etc., as being big, but nothing comes close to the effect of the Civil War!
When I go away is probably the best song that describes Levon Helm sang. Worth a listen.
Well known song. Iconic
The Band sound like is really like no other - love everything from the Last Waltz - but they also have some great music with bob dylan in the Basement Tapes and Before the Flood concert - get a real feel for American music , mix of country rock and blues - really enjoy the reaction
It Makes No Difference, live, from the same Last Waltz concert. You have to listen to that song, it will blow you away.
IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE who the lead singer is, it's all good.
For sure! 👍
It makes no difference the song Rick Danko is the lead singer and he sings it to perfection, like only Rick can.
Levon (on drums) was the lead singer on probably half their songs. But Richard Manuel and Rick Danko sang lead alot as well. Three great singers.
"... _Stoneman's cavalry came and tore up the tracks again_ ... " ... if you google images of George Stoneman you'll see that if Andrei grew his hair out a bit, he would look like him. Andrei definitely has that cavalry commander look.
We just googled it! Andrei had a great giggle out of it. And said "I don't mind, he looks cool" 😂
The greatest concert on video!
