    I just can't get enough of watching and listening to Rick Danko singing, especially this song, also Stage Freight, and my favorite "It makes no difference". I have like The Band since 1969, always liked Robbie, but recently have really singled out Rick, he is so soulful.

      Yeah, my eyes and ears are always attend to Rick and Levon. Especially Rick, though. He is an icon of cool, but his voice has an aching vulnerability. What a combo.

    • @hannejeppesen1809
      @hannejeppesen1809 Рік тому

      Yes, especially when he sings "It makes no difference" and "Stage Freight", and of course "I shall be released" from Richard Manuels memorial. I don't know if you are male or female, I'm female, a few years younger than the guys in The Band, I always thought Robbie was very good looking when younger, still do. However, something speciall about Rick that makes him very sexy and attractive.@@teahorseguitarstraps1856

Levon was great on Up on Cripple Creek and Dixie, and also the beginning of The Weight, and Rick was perfect for the Chester verse. RIchards voice was made for "The Shape I'm in",

      Garth Hudson is a multi-instrumentalist who can play Piano, Organ, Accordion and Saxophone. It’s interesting because most or all of them could play multiple instruments but it says Garth is the only multi-instrumentalist if you search them up.

      @@shaykatz5648 Yes they were and I liked Richard the most however I’m not sure how underrated rated he is (or if he is) since Levon would apparently say that he was their main singer and of course if you look at videos you can see how he always mentions Rich. I don’t know I just think that someone who died that long ago at that age wouldn’t be known by younger people unlike the Beatles who were famous everywhere. The Last Waltz Refrain with Robbie is a song I like since his voice and Robbie’s sound really good together.

    All the members of The Band were multi-instrumentalists, three had phenomenal voices (ie. Levon, Rick and Richard) and how many bands that had five such talented guys in them could stay together so long and leave such a lasting legacy? I'd nominate The Band as the very best band ever, from their varied work they left us to their influence on so very many other top, popular superstar musicians and to 'nick a catch phrase.from Pacino "I've been around, ya' know".

      martykate ; i own Last Waltz, and while some of it is breathtaking (oooo, the Staples on The Weight!) I was disappointed....seemed to be all about Robbie Robbie Robbie, much of The Band in the dark, Garth and Richard almost in witness protection. The Robertson-Scorcese bromance was so obvious I wanted to gag...and knowing Scorcese was so concerned with those d*mned chandeliers--moans he had to settle for two. Oh well, rock movies were a new thing.

    Long Black Veil sounds like a very old and very traditional song of the Appalachians But the truth is that it was written in 1959 which means that it was only 24 years old when The Band did this great performance of it

    • @jeremiah123z
      @jeremiah123z 8 років тому +22

      I thought so too, the Band's version sounded so authentic, soaked in old Appalachian woodsmoke and whiskey, it had to be some long-forgotten mountain ballad. In fact, it was written in 1959 by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin and originally recorded by Lefty Frizzell. However you describe it, the song is unforgettable. And nobody ever did it more memorably than the Band, with Rick Danko's lonesome vocal up front and center.

    I only saw the band once way back about '62 or so after they left Hawkins. It was at a nightclub called the Purple Onion a few miles northwest of Brampton Ont. Unfortunately a fight broke out just as we arrived, it got nasty and we left when it was apparent the band wasn't going on.
