I dont know if I have ever seen anyone with so much Joy in their heart as Lex in my 70 years . Brad you are a Blessed Man to have her in your life . I just love watching you both react to songs I grew up with and played back in the 60's and 70's
You keep your mind & heart open too Man!
Well said. Totally agree.
I agree, you guys are so great and fun. Blessed to have each other.
they are like chalk and cheese... totally agree with you with all you said
Lex is as cute as a button
You just heard one of THE most technically skilled and naturally talented bands that ever existed. Three beautiful singers, a genius songwriter, all interchangeable multi-instrumentalists, and songs that SOUND simple but, under even casual scrutiny, reveal themselves to be technical masterpieces. Forged along endless touring through Canada and the USA.
Oh, and Garth Hudson is a fucking genius. Let’s not leave that out. He’s the spine of a genius band.
The Band encapsulated all of American music and created a whole new genre all their own. They were often called America’s Beatles (even though they were mostly Canadian 🤦🏻♂️). You should do a reaction to the entire movie The Last Waltz- directed by Martin Scorsese, it’s the greatest rock movie ever made and features a who’s who of rock and roll royalty joining The Band on stage. If you want to know what real music by real people was like back in the day, watch that film, and turn the volume UP!! 🎸💥
Eric Clapton begged to join the Band he was so impressed. They were also (I’ve been corrected NOT) the backing band on that infamous night Dylan went electric. Levon couldn’t deal with the drama and criticism and left for a while.
The Byrds is the Amercan Beatles.
@@fredfrederick5607 George Harrison also made a pilgrimage to Woodstock when the Band broke through, as the Beatles were coming to an end, and the group vibe he found in The Band was so at odds with the splintering Beatles vibe that when he returned to London to do Let It Be you could tell he already had one foot out the door on his old bandmates. The Grateful Dead were also inspired by the Band, and they put their psychedelic jams on the back shelf and put out two amazing acoustic-based albums in response. The Band were so contrary to the times that they almost single-handedly changed the whole direction of rock. While everyone else was going full-blown psychedelic and loud they toned it way down and got back to the roots. The whole singer-songwriter era ensued, but The Band don’t often get their due credit for having completely changed the whole scene.
@@fredfrederick5607 Actually they were not Dylan's back-up band on that night he went electric at Newport. (Mike Bloomfield was there). But they were his back-up band when he went on his European tour after that and got booed every night.(People paid for the tickets just so they could boo. Go figure).
@@keef7224 Yea.. You said it...The Band was the best..
That reaction is everything boys in The Band would have ever wanted.
I very much enjoy Lex’s child like excitement and pure joy she expresses when listening to music she appreciates.
And I see in the two of you, the very feelings of love and devotion this song tells of so plainly. Enjoy the music and each other, and I’ll keep watching and commenting about how funny and wonderful you are to me‼️👌🏼👍🏼😜
Yes she gets it right away🤩😉
This is kind of a dirty song about his side chick while he’s out on the road, but y’all made it sound so wholesome 🤣🤣🤣. LOVED the reaction, and you can’t go wrong with The Band, and the harmonies between Levon, Rick, and Richard on this one are soul quenching.
I was kinda surprised they didn't get into what it was about, but yeah that's always been my take on it too.
And that was no Entimen's doughnut either...😳
@@lindakessler8768 Hee hee! 😂
@@texashookem22 TeHe 🤙
the "frog" sounding instrument is called a clavinet. it's an amplified version of a clavicord. They were used a lot in the 70s. Stevie Wonder was a big fan of it.
Yep, a Hohner clavinet and a Wah-wah peddle.
Yup. Trying to mimic a mouth harp
I was way off. I thought it was a bass with some severe distortion and maybe volume control. Shows what I know.😐
@@kukuri007 When I first heard this song in high school, I thought it might be a really processed bass too.
That instrument is a clavinet with an expression pedal. (like a funky piano)
it simulates a rubber band sound.
THE WEIGHT (without the Staples singers) is their best tune. Also, OPHELIA.
I said organ with wahwah, but yours sounds better!
Here’s a link to a brief video showing someone playing keyboards w/ clarinet making ‘that sound’ cool! 😉😄👍 ua-cam.com/video/AtbUFuWtQfU/v-deo.html
You may be right but to me it sounds like a mouth harp, sometimes called a jaw harp. I've even seen it called a Jew harp. It's used in a lot of Bluegrass music and was commonly used in the Old West. You place it between your lips and teeth and pluck at a protruding wire or reed while changing the sound made by movement of the tongue
Lead vocals on this track provided by the Drummer, Mr. Levon Helm, of Arkansas, so the accent is real. And so is the yodeling. BTW, nice Aerosmith shirt Lex.
Garth Hudson is playing a clavinet with a wah-wah pedal. Billy Preston plays it on "Outa-Space" and Bill Withers "Use Me" features it too. Funkadelic used it a lot as well.
Sounds like a mouth harp.
And don't forget Stevie Wonder in the early seventies!
Clavinet is an electrically amplified clavichord. Uses something similar to guitar pickups. It’s related to a piano, but rather than felt hammers striking the strings, you have small metal blades. Also, don’t forget the master of the clavinet, Stevie Wonder.
Thank. I have always thought it was a mouth harp. Listening this time with ear buds I thought it might be a key board. Would never have figured it out. Thanks
@@alanfriesen9837 It is
The Band is iconic with songs "They Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" and "The Weight". They influenced many, many artists. Levon Helms (RIP) was the only one that was from the south in America. He was one of the best drummer/singers of all time. To do a deep dive you must watch The Last Waltz.
A little trivia: The band Nazareth ("Hair of the Dog") took their name from the opening line "I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling half past dead" from The Band's song "The Weight".
Great song by "The Band" and written by their guitarist Robbie Robertson., sung by Levon Helm (drummer) who was the only American in the mostly Canadian Band. All great musicians! :)
Levons daughter is keeping the music alive 🤟
That funky instrument is a Hohner clavinet being played with a wah-wah pedal. The clavinet, especially in tandem with a wah-wah pedal, was a sound that became famous in the late '60s and early to mid-1970s, especially in funk music.
The night they drove Old Dixie down is their best song for me, the live version
The late great Levon Helm singing that song.
Love your reaction! Levon Helm, the singer, was also an actor, most notably playing Loretta Lynn’s father in Coal Miner’s Daughter.
their promotion was just a few really good musicians playing simple, good music with a simple, good name
Their songs are not simple to play...They are among the best bands with the best musicians ever.
The night they drove ole Dixie down from the “Last waltz” album and find one with lyrics
Great song from the perspective of a poor southern farmer in the south during the civil war.
This song has a tendency to be an earworm - once it's in your head, it's all you'll hear. Love the hell out of it
Levon Helm was their drum and the singer of this song and he may have even wrote the lyrics. He is also the only non-Canadian from the South US. The Band was Bob Dylan's band when he first went electric and before that they backed Ronnie Hawkins as his Hawks. Rock history is so cool and once you go deeper into it you find out why band sound the way they do.
Robbie Robertson wrote the lyrics.
Levon didn't do song lyrics. Ironic since he was such a great story teller.
I’m glad I had the “May have” in there as an out. Should have known it was Robbie.
Stagefright is another one I always come back to. Preferably the 'Last Waltz' version
Phenomenal band! So much talent, Robbie Robertson is a very underrated guitar playerin my opinion.
Isn't he listed in the top 100 guitarists of all time?
I'm always so focused on singing along with this song whenever I hear it that I never stop to notice how fundamental the synthesizer sound is to this song. That "froggy" sound is iconic. The Band were awesome!
The frog sound is made by Garth Hudson on a model ii Hohner Clavinet through a wah wah pedal.
This is the song that made me a fan of The Band. I miss those days of falling in love with new things in life like bands, strange places, and even stranger girls...junior high was a magical time for me👍💖🎶
It's such a great trip to watch Lex light up to down home music! The Band gave us some of the best music ever recorded. The Weight is one of the best songs ever written. I've only seen one version on line and it features The Staples along with The Band. If y'all get around to it be sure to have the lyrics nearby to fully appreciate the storyline! Brad you may be interested in the fact that Levon Helms is one of few lead vocalist/drummers!
Levon Helm was just one of the three "lead vocalists" that The Band had.
@@BobSoltis1 yes, I know. Levon, however, was also the only drummer in addition to being the lead vocalist on Cripple Creek and The Weight. I don't remember if Robbie or Levon was lead on The Night the Lights Went Out in GA. It seems like Robbie was. Have you seen Robbie's The Weight world wide video that he put together with Ringo? Chill bumps!
Just me that likes ‘Unfaithful Servant’, ‘King Harvest’, ‘Stage Fright’, etc.? So many great songs!
You need to listen to these from "The Last Waltz", their stellar final concert.
"The Weight" with the Staples Singers live is a classic!
I especially loved the version of that song from "The Last Waltz". That may be the one you're talking about.
The Band, do more of them. You'll love it.
Arkansas native Ronnie (Rompin' Ronnie) Hawkins moved to Toronto in the 50s and established himself as a rock'n'roll real deal dude. Four Canucks and another Arkansan formed his backing band eventually. When Bob Dylan went electric in the mid-60s, he grabbed the boys to back HIM up. After his accident a couple years later, they all holed up together in Woodstock NY. The results of those sessions were eventually released as 'The Basement Tapes', but first the Band released their debut, 'Music from Big Pink', after the house, virtually inventing what came to be known as the 'Americana' genre. Dylan took them out again in the 70s, and released at least one live document of their great synergy, 'Before the Flood', in June '74. The Band performed a farewell concert, 'The Last Waltz', filmed by Martin Scorcese, in '78, featuring Hawkins, Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, the Staples Singers, Dr. John and more.
Drummer and singer here, Levon Helm, the Arkansan, bassist/singer Rick Danko, and singer/pianist Richard Manuel have since passed, leaving only organist/general keyboard whiz Garth Hudson (playing "electric frog" here, lol) who had to be paid extra in the early days for the"music lessons" he was supposedly giving the rest as the sole condition for being allowed to play with them, and guitarist/main songwriter Robbie Robertson.
Ronnie Hawkins, btw, who had a ton, a Who's Who of Canadian blues talent pass through his band over the decades, passed May 29th, 2022 at his home near Peterborough. He'd previously hosted John and Yoko at an earlier home on the west side of Toronto. Another old friend hung with 'em, loved him, disliked her. Wotevs.
Any suggestions on the page are worth a listen, and a couple of personal faves are 'The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down', 'King Harvest', 'Chest Fever/Stage Fright', and 'Doncha Do It.'
Great, appropriately joyful, loving reaction, thanks yet again.
The Last Waltz was their farewell concert. A masterpiece with many guest appearances. Check out The Weight. Brilliant song.
It's a clavinet with a wahwah pedal. The technique here was picked up by Stevie Wonder, and from there became a basic part of early funk tracks!
That is very cool, I did not know that!!!👌👍✌😁
Clavinets were cool. Essentially an electronic harpsichord; the strings are plucked rather than hammered as they are in a piano.
Listen to every one of their songs, they are true masters.
Brad your truly blessed. I been married for 30 years and i wish the same for you and Lex :) Shes to happy to let go !
Lex - love your smile, love your laugh, love your energy.
Brad - you are a lucky guy.
You should watch the live version from The Last Waltz. The drummer is the one singing.
First record I ever bought. Just as good now as it was back in the 70's, you guys just proved it. 🌼
Is it me, or is Lex just amazing? Wow, love her energy!!!
Hey guys..THE BAND were originally BOB DYLAN'S backing band when he went all electric back in 63-4 if my memory serves me well..? Peace..
Originally they were Ronnie Hawkins backing band before they were Bob Dylans.
It was 65-66
Lex just has so much fun listening to music, its contagious
Never heard this song before but I have to say for some reason I enjoyed it. Cool lyrics and his voice is weird but catchy.
This whole album is criminally underrated.
More of the brilliant lyrics of Robbie Robertson, a Canadian of great talent. Listen to more...
Great song. I remember listening to this 20 years ago at 4 am. I love ,"The Band" since then.
When you see true joy and happiness, rejoice, yourself! You have witnessed a rare and beautiful thing.
The greatest band ever to come out of Canada.
You guys should react to…
The Band - It Makes No Difference
🎸🤘
Rick Danko in The Last Waltz kills it.
Rick Danko!!!!❤👌👍✌
I still have that vinyl album and others of The Band. Yup, I’m singing along lol
All stored away with all my vinyl from the 70s😊
Let Lex be LEX ! And Brads mellow enough to enjoy her ! Love it !
I was lucky enough to see them live here in upstate NY a few weeks before Richard Manuel died. Such an amazing band.
Damn, Lex was so cute enjoying that old ringer😁👍
I am so impressed with the pure joy. I feel the same. It’s a clavichord. Mimics a jaw harp. You are blessed to feel the joy without reservation. Love you guys!
I'm impressed with you two!! The Band is the real thing! Watch their concert movie "The Last Waltz"...you will be blown away!
Lex, the sound is a Clavinet (probably a Hohner D6), going thru a Wah pedal. Stevie Wonder used on with great effect on Superstition. If you like that sound check out Lachy Doley, he has modded his Clav to have a Tremelo, like a guitar.
I’m glad you mentioned ‘Superstition’ - it’s exactly what popped into my head too!
One of the greatest band's, 'party' tunes.
No one is surprised you love it.
🙏🎶👍🎶🙏🎶👍🙏👍🎶
I so, SO wish that Garth Hudson could see Lex's reaction to his Clavinet fills. He would fucking love the joy that it brings so much. That sound is one of the most amazing and unique sounds out there.
EVERY ONE WAS A FRONT RUNNER IN A BAND IF THEY WANTED THEY WHERE THAT TALENTED. SO MUCH FUN
Keyboardist is a family friend. Played organ at my grandmothers funeral. One of two living members of the band.
A simple but amazing song, “Up On Cripple Creek,” is sung from the viewpoint of a truck driver who goes to Lake Charles in Louisiana to stay with a lover called Bessie.
"And I swore as I took another pull, My Bessie can't be beat".
what a crazy world this song describes
That frog instrument was Garth on the keyboard killing it lol
Fate was working overtime to put these 5 superb musicians in a band.
Great tune and great reaction. Staying in the same genre, checkout Lady Blue by Leon Russell and also Dixie Chicken by Little Feat. ❤
Dixie Chicken, great idea!
Yes!! The Band!!!
Thanks for my daily dose of joy. Love you two so much. Peace and blessings.
Love The Band always!
Acadian Driftwood is another classic from them, also Chest Fever, Shape I'm In, Rag Mama Rag, Across The Great Divide etc.
All great tunes..
Southern Fried Rock at ITS BEST Wonderful song that brings warm memories of my youth
When you two have kids and grandchildren, they will be able to look back and see how young & goofy 🤪 you two were, especially Lex. 🤣
Remember the Drummer sang this one. One of the best
The great Levon Helm on drums and lead vocal on this song (The Band had 4 lead vocalists), he was a national treasure. Suggest you do "The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down" or "It Makes No Difference" (with an incredible lead vocal from bassist Rick Danko) - both songs from The Last Waltz videos
Great song suggestions...
They only had 3 lead singers - Levon, Richard (who was their main vocalist), and Rick. Robbie only did backing vocals. Garth didn't need to sing.
@@bigernkingpin Yes, Robbie did very little singing, (his mike turned down or off at concerts). He did
however have 2 lead vocals on studio cuts. These being, To Kingdom Come, and Out of the Blue.
@@tomst.antoine7742 hardly makes him one of their lead vocalists though does it? It is widely recognised he had a bad singing voice and his mic would actually be unplugged during performances, including at The Last Waltz.
That clavinet through the wah wah pedal is classic.
Lake Charles, La in da house.... right here! lol
Levon Helm, a legend gone to soon!!
I'm from Lake Charles, LA. Back in the late 60's early 70's that was a real party town. The gulf is about 45 minutes away
Nice to see Lex enjoying the funk of Garth Hudson.
The “foggy instrument” was actually Garth Hudson on organ, something I have never heard anyone do
Garth is playing a clavinet through a wa-wa pedal.
You know one american & a bunch of old boy canadians , again what we grew up on.canadian drift wood , history.
This is my boss's favorite song. I probably hear it 30x a week
THE NIGHT THEY DROVE OL DIXIE DOWN ........Please! Love yall
Never could get to into The Band for some reason but I did listen to the song The Well for like two weeks straight because I loved it so much.
Keep going...The Band has a deep... well... of great tunes...
Only the dead would not be affected by this oldie ..... The Band.
From one of the best albums OF.ALL.TIME!
For sure...
That "frog" sound you questioned was a clavinet with a wah wah pedal.
The 2 of you are just so stinkin cute! Your videos are a bright spot in my day!
The drummer and lead singer is Levon Helm, he is also playing the hillbilly that was in the movie Shooter.
that's exactly what this song does for me, pure joy....i believe the sound you are hearing is Garth Hudson's clavinet!
these guys were one of the greatest bands ever assembled! RIP Ronnie Hawkins thanks for getting these cats together
keep reacting to their stuff it's worth the journey............
OMG Lex ....you are so cute with your reaction to the yodeling lol Love you guys ❤️ Keep making us smile 😃
Man, you've got a LOT to look forward to with The Band! Did y'all miss the verse about "so I guess I'll call up my Big Mama, tell her I'll be rolling in, but you know deep down I'm kinda tempted to go and see my Bessie again....." More good time romps: "Rag Mama Rag" "Ophelia" "The Shape I'm In" "Look Out Cleveland" "Atlantic City" and on and on......The mystery instrument is a clavinet played through a wah wah peddle. Garth (one of the two remaining original members still alive, Robbie Robertson being the other) has lots of tricks up his sleeve! Truly one of my favorite groups of all time!
My favorite band…The Band
The "frog instrument" is a Hohner clavinet being played with a wah-wah pedal. This song is the first (known) time that it was done.
That "frog sounding" instrument is a Clavinet. Pure inspiration from Garth Hudson.
love the phrasing...great song
Yeah, the clavinet through a wah wah (frog) really fit beautifully with the rustic feel of this song. What's not to like? Just as fresh as it was 50 years ago.
The organ sounds like a merry-go-round playing gospel.
Chest fever,shape i’am in,the night they drove old Dixie down,Dillon’s back up band,the weight.
You two are so cute in how you respond to each other. May we all be blessed to find this kind of love and acceptance 🙏
The joy you two spread is infectious, God bless you both ✌️😎
RIP Levon Helm ~ Vocal & Drums
