Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, and Richard Manuel will go down in history as some of the most accomplished and capable musicians to ever play rock 'n roll.
Seriously, Emmylou will you marry me? If you watch the entire show, notice how the Band all switch instruments on various songs, a completely talented group of people. I love how at the end of this song they keep rolling as they just all walk away.
Rest well, Robbie Robertson. Thank you for writing this brilliant piece of musical art and to you and The Band for sharing it with us. Emmylou Harris's performance here is nothing less than perfection. Requiescat in Pace, Robbie.
Love this stuff ... The Band members playing other instruments ... Danko sawing the fiddle mountain style, Levon on the mandolin .... great vocals all around ... Emmylou is the voice of God.
The talent is mind blowing. Whether with the Staples Singers or Emily Lou Harris. Never will happen again. They tell a STORY ABOUT AMERICA, like nobody else could.
music that was forged by the road ,Levon , Rick , Garth ,Richard ,Robbie, put in the hard yard over the years ,the songs played and sung ,a gift for us all, forget every thing else ,if you are watching this thank TheBand purveyors of no frills ,no gimmick just a special sound We will always be able to relive THE BAND
@@italianray69 Shut up moron! If not for Robbie none of the members would have even met dummy, nor toured with Dylan or made such great music together. So easy for people like you to sling the shit.
This is the only song in the movie that as not cut at the concert, but filmed on a sound stage. The movie featured the greatest collection of musicians alive ! It still has not been surpassed !
I love Levon's voice, and he is perfect on The Weight and Up and Cripple Creek, but have to agree, Rick is my favorite, especially in this song, his raspy voice it perfect.@@howie9751
It depends on the song. Robbie knew who could do the most justice to his songs. Cannot imagine Levon singing "It makes no difference" or Stage Freight, those songs were made for Rick. However, I cannot imagine Rick singing Up on Cripple Creek, or The night they drove old Dixie down",@@howie9751
The band will forever remain the best band in the sense of the term of all time. In their music you perceive a fusion of sounds as if they were a big family and that's right. Music has to give emotions and the only way to give emotions is to have something to share together. When you live together for 16 years and share everything you have, a feeling that excites you can only arise.
I love Emmylou and I love The Band. Wish Gram would’ve lived longer and jammed with them. Can you imagine him singing I shall be released during The Last Waltz?
Ya know what makes this song even more wonderful? For a literature geek like me anyway. . .is that Emmylou looks just like Evangeline is described in Longfellow's poem.
Gorgeous song!!! So pretty!!!! Robbie was right on the money when he called Emmylou Harris exquisite in his book !!! She looked exquisite and sounded exquisite! Fourty-five years later, she's still exquisite!!! God bless! 🙏❤️🙏
If you are talking about Richard Manuel he was from Canada, as was all The Band members, except for Levon Helm who was from Arkansas. Sadly Winter Park, Fl was where Richard committed suicide.@@dabprod
Definately a bass overdub because no one but Rick could be playing that way and he is playing the fiddle too! Emmylou is the most lovely mammal of all time. Nobody else even comes close. Always loved how she wore a blue dress for this. I saw the Band three or four times and always got knocked out by them. I used this song to launch a boat that I built and will build another boat named "Emmylou." I'd like to name one "Evangeline" but that ain't lucky!
This is why the Band was the best. Very talented musicians on all instruments. And then put Emmylou into the mix and it sounds phenomenal. Thanx for posting this.
I miss those guys. It kills me when people say "who" when I mention The Band; even people who were around in those days like me. Let's keep their music going. So long to Richard, Rick and the incomparable Levon Helms!
One of the best songs ever, agreed! And Emmylou Harris looks like an angel just descended from above, in that simple blue dress, beautiful, pure, sweet and talented, I can only imagine all the guys from the band falling like crazy for her, who wouldn't?
Emmylou Harris voice, coated all over those voices like a fine sauce, making the entire recipe worth making. A womans voice is such pleasant gift to a mans open hearted sentimental idaes in song. Like silk on an axe handle, her voice makes it all glide home.
Got that right. Whatever it took to make each song the best it could be. Rick, Richard, Levon, and Garth; nobody ever said “That’s Not My Job.” Robbie Robertson, not so much.
A group of us saw Emmylou's first concert. Late 1967, she sang and played in a small field with no stage or electronics. Just her and about 40 of us in Topanga Canyon. A beautiful day; we sat in the dried grass and listened to her (in the dark ages before cell phones, etc. we went to each other's homes and spread the word she was going to play).
superb performance-the 60's and 70's were excellent for many genres of music. unfortumately, quality songs like this one went from few and far between to almost non-existent these days.
the genius of Scorcese... showing the first fifteen seconds of how easy these musicians turn back into regular people; almost as easy as them creating such beautiful harmony
I would say it's over a decade since I listened to this track but Levon Helms voice in particular stick with me. I remember a previous comment on this that I thought was really funny. Paraphrased; Levon Helm seems like the kind of guy who could fix your fence :)
This is the best band ever. They are all so talented on many levels. Some people think the Beatles were the greatest but they were not even close though I do love their musict
"Evangeline" [Intro] She stands on the bank of the mighty Mississippi Alone in the pale moonlight Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler Said that he'd return tonight They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi Lovin' the whole night through 'Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing And bring it on back to you. Evangeline, Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen That pulled her man away. Bayou Sam, from South Louisian' Had gambling in his veins Evangeline, from the Maritimes Was slowly goin' insane. High on the top of Hickory Hill She stands in the lightnin' and thunder Down on the river the boat was a-sinkin' She watched that queen go under Evangeline, Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen That pulled her man away. Evangeline, Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen That pulled her man away.
Preciosa música y letra. Nunca me canso de oírla. Hace muchos años vi la película recuerdo las entrevistas, el porque se retiraban, todo el escenario austero pero impecable. Fue fantástico . Nunca la olvidaré.
Such a lovely song! This man had troubles and yet could sing a song so appropriate to his struggles. It's a somber expression, a Ray Charles tone so clear; but, all his own. "You don't know me". That's what my X wife said! This tune is dynamic and well expressed. I hurt for this man's struggle.
Emmylou Harris is captivating and hypnotic. I can't take my eyes off of her. She's so poised and graceful, and relaxed, very natural. If I let myself, I could sit and watch her videos all day long on UA-cam.
Sometimes I can't even take how good The Band is...
There is something magical right t
Always love them 💕
One of a kind, a class of their own. You would understand if you ever seen/heard them.
Keith Richards talked shit on them for playing too close to their recordings. Yeah you limey fuck. They were musiciansz
The Band! Greatest group ever. I fell in love when I first heard The Weight Wayne Fouche RSA
Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, and Richard Manuel will go down in history as some of the most accomplished and capable musicians to ever play rock 'n roll.
Mississippi boy here, I have requested this song to be played at my funeral
Kudos to Scorsese for having the vison and wisdom to capture The Band's greatness before they disbanded.
The Band disbanded. ☹️
That was clearly sad damn day
No kidding, and the way he pulled it off was incredible.
And started to die off.
retired..not disbanded..I just retired after 55 years...not dead ..waiting for a new challenge
The musical geniuses all gone now.Miss them. RIP BAND
I love the way The Band would play musical chairs on their instruments. You never knew who was gonna end up playing what.
Another beautifully written classic by Robbie, wonderfully performed by the Boys of the Band and Emmylou...! It doesn't get any better, folks!
Rick Danko at his best with that souful raspy voice. Can't get enough of him.
@@hannejeppesen1809
Yes! Rick & Lavon were my favorites. Garth was also great addition.
Absolutely spectactular!!! Levon Helm has always been an inspiration to me, but these guys together and with Emmylou is just magic.
Doesn't get any better one of the greatest bands with one of the greatest female vocalist..
Emmylou Harris - the voice of an angel with a face to match.
ñ
I bet she's a cute bum as well
Cute and well ridden. Has that look about her.
And an awesome rack
Seriously, Emmylou will you marry me? If you watch the entire show, notice how the Band all switch instruments on various songs, a completely talented group of people. I love how at the end of this song they keep rolling as they just all walk away.
Rest well, Robbie Robertson. Thank you for writing this brilliant piece of musical art and to you and The Band for sharing it with us. Emmylou Harris's performance here is nothing less than perfection. Requiescat in Pace, Robbie.
Rest in peace The Band lives on in their music
Only Garth remains alive.
The last waltz is the best music DVD i have ever seen. Everyone should watch it 4 they will love.
One of my favorite DVD's of any kind.
Parents, if your children are interested in music, please share this video with them, this is an excellent performance of a most beautiful tune.
Love this stuff ... The Band members playing other instruments ... Danko sawing the fiddle mountain style, Levon on the mandolin .... great vocals all around ... Emmylou is the voice of God.
Richard's drums are always fun to see.
The talent is mind blowing. Whether with the Staples Singers or Emily Lou Harris. Never will happen again. They tell a STORY ABOUT AMERICA, like nobody else could.
@@edcaples5731 Yet almost all of them were Canadians.
Emmylou Harris has perhaps one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard - and the The Band were in top form in that Last Waltz !
Two of the best singers in Rock 'n' Roll, Levon Helm and Rick Danko!
Man that part when Emmy comes in and sings "lovinnn the whole night through"... tingles up and down my spine.
music that was forged by the road ,Levon , Rick , Garth ,Richard ,Robbie, put in the hard yard over the years ,the songs played and sung ,a gift for us all, forget every thing else ,if you are watching this thank TheBand purveyors of no frills ,no gimmick just a special sound We will always be able to relive THE BAND
"The Last Waltz" was an amazing film and am glad that I can enjoy it again. Pure grace.
Man, THIS is music. Juxtapose this with the top-40 music of today, and it's truly a sad sight.
the finest version of this great song
The Band. Emmylou. 'nuff said.
The Band. Emmylou. Nuff said.
The Band were THE Band! I don´t see many of such talented musicians around these days ... What a pity!
As was the Nitty Gritty Dirt band. :)
All but Robbie. Great writer, lousy musician. lol
@@italianray69 Shut up moron! If not for Robbie none of the members would have even met dummy, nor toured with Dylan or made such great music together. So easy for people like you to sling the shit.
i'm still a child and i can't think of even listening to my generation's music! thank god tunes like this aren't forgotten
This is the only song in the movie that as not cut at the concert, but filmed on a sound stage. The movie featured the greatest collection of musicians alive ! It still has not been surpassed !
I think The Weight is the same way. I can’t remember if there are any others.
I'm not even sure Woodstock had this much talent.
VERY best version of this song! So much talent on that stage! Best band EVER! Emmylou is fantastic! RIP Levon Richard ,and Rick
Dankos voice is perfectly suited to this song. Amazing piece of music. Love it.
Yes but Levon's is even better.
I love Levon's voice, and he is perfect on The Weight and Up and Cripple Creek, but have to agree, Rick is my favorite, especially in this song, his raspy voice it perfect.@@howie9751
It depends on the song. Robbie knew who could do the most justice to his songs. Cannot imagine Levon singing "It makes no difference" or Stage Freight, those songs were made for Rick. However, I cannot imagine Rick singing Up on Cripple Creek, or The night they drove old Dixie down",@@howie9751

oh my,
Awesome
One of my very favorite pieces of music ever.
The Band is certainly one of the most talented groups of all time.
I love Emmylou and I love The Band. Wish Gram would’ve lived longer and jammed with them. Can you imagine him singing I shall be released during The Last Waltz?
I can indeed imagine that! 🤠
Sometimes, you just don’t want the song to end
Just play it over and over again.
Another reason to love Canada 🇨🇦❤
And Rompin' Ronnie Hawkins, may he rest in peace.
Love Rick Danko's voice.
never really knew who the guy was until about 3 years ago.
He's incredible
I love this song...Garth Hudson was always one of my musical heroes.
Ya know what makes this song even more wonderful? For a literature geek like me anyway. . .is that Emmylou looks just like Evangeline is described in Longfellow's poem.
Where have I been!! Never heard this before and it is delightful.
We miss you Rick Danko, Richard Manuel &Levon Helm
It did not matter which genre of music The Band played ,their musicality was if the highest standard ! Quite remarkable ...
Gorgeous song!!! So pretty!!!! Robbie was right on the money when he called Emmylou Harris exquisite in his book !!! She looked exquisite and sounded exquisite! Fourty-five years later, she's still exquisite!!! God bless! 🙏❤️🙏
Just plain Beautiful.......
RIP Robbie and Co. Thanks for the wonderful music
I do so love to hear Emily Harris and the band sing Evangeline!
Richard died in my home town it so sad rip Richard, Rick ,and Levon I wish music was still like this
i love all three of them
Richard was from Winter Park FL....?
No, he hanged himself from a shower curtain rod in a motel room while they were touring there.
How sad. 😩
If you are talking about Richard Manuel he was from Canada, as was all The Band members, except for Levon Helm who was from Arkansas. Sadly Winter Park, Fl was where Richard committed suicide.@@dabprod
It didn't get any better than this! R.I.P. Rick Danko!.🙏 (buried at Woodstock) ✌😎
Definately a bass overdub because no one but Rick could be playing that way and he is playing the fiddle too!
Emmylou is the most lovely mammal of all time. Nobody else even comes close. Always loved how she wore a blue dress for this.
I saw the Band three or four times and always got knocked out by them.
I used this song to launch a boat that I built and will build another boat named "Emmylou." I'd like to name one "Evangeline" but that ain't lucky!
This is why the Band was the best. Very talented musicians on all instruments. And then put Emmylou into the mix and it sounds phenomenal. Thanx for posting this.
never seen her before not into country but i'l tell you i am going to be checking her stuff out now,she's incredible in this song
+Trev Mac check out some songs she did with Gram Parsons
oka,thanks
Trev Mac well, did you check her out yet, you've had a year now
Perhaps most impressive...and it is already extremely impressive...the song was written the day before this was filmed.
Always brings back the memories of the very first weeks at university. When I had a smile on my face, friends to smile about
These guys were truly The Band.
I miss those guys. It kills me when people say "who" when I mention The Band; even people who were around in those days like me. Let's keep their music going. So long to Richard, Rick and the incomparable Levon Helms!
greatest all around band of all time
One of the best songs ever, agreed! And Emmylou Harris looks like an angel just descended from above, in that simple blue dress, beautiful, pure, sweet and talented, I can only imagine all the guys from the band falling like crazy for her, who wouldn't?
emmylou harris is absolutely incredible
Escutei pela primeira vez a 40 anos não me canso de ouvir esta banda mais emylou e fantástico
There is nothing like this to even compare to...how awesome!
+Michael Ladd
couldn't have said it better myself
Such a brilliant performance from a brilliant film. Love it
Love the Band
Since early 70s. Miss and RIP Rick Danko and Levin Helm.
Emmylou Harris voice, coated all over those voices like a fine sauce, making the entire recipe worth making. A womans voice is such pleasant gift to a mans open hearted sentimental idaes in song. Like silk on an axe handle, her voice makes it all glide home.
Timeless. Robbie!!!
Interesting to see Levon on the mandolin, Richard on the drums & Rick on the fiddle... RIP boys.
don't forget Rick ,r.i.p
Very nice observation. It just shows their versatility doesnt it?
@@tompaul2591 Pound for pound the most talented group ever, IMO
Got that right. Whatever it took to make each song the best it could be. Rick, Richard, Levon, and Garth; nobody ever said “That’s Not My Job.” Robbie Robertson, not so much.
@@jimcoco677 other than to write the song
The best right there of all of them
Can't believe this is gone from us
😪
I've listened to this a hundred times and never heard that before. Cool.
Best best ever . No one or band will ever compare to the Band . Ever. They are in my heart forever.. 🙏.

The best band. Really !
They really are THE BAND
So sweet, brings me a lot of good memories.
Emily lou Harris is an Angel
They were so damn good its heartbreaking, many that are so missed.
Love hearing this Music when drawing or painting moves my soul for peace an art.
They are Amazing .. Thank You "The Band"...
when they were young and in their prime, they did it all the time, now that they are old and gray they only do it ...
Thanks fellas, your were / are “ THE “ Band
superb performance-the 60's and 70's were excellent for many genres of music. unfortumately, quality songs like this one went from few and far between to almost non-existent these days.
Magic the likes of which we will never see again.
Possibly the most bigly stable performance of any one song I’ve ever seen
jeeesssuus Emmylou, angelic
the genius of Scorcese... showing the first fifteen seconds of how easy these musicians turn back into regular people; almost as easy as them creating such beautiful harmony
Everlasting song rings through the ages, man these musicians were damn good, notice Richard playing drums Levon on the mandolin..very cool
+BBQMAN81
this video is *TOO COOL*
the most beautiful country song
It's Cajun
I would say it's over a decade since I listened to this track but Levon Helms voice in particular stick with me. I remember a previous comment on this that I thought was really funny. Paraphrased; Levon Helm seems like the kind of guy who could fix your fence :)
Emmylou Harris --- The Sweetheart Of Country,,Oh My God,,I LOVE HER MUSIC,,She's My Alltime Favourite Female Country Artist!!!!!!!!!
My college roommate turned me into the band in 1977 thank god for my long years Damn good music
This is the best band ever. They are all so talented on many levels. Some people think the Beatles were the greatest but they were not even close though I do love their musict
Awesome 👌 what a song 🎵 👏 🙌 make me feel good all over !
Absolutely Beautiful!
Thank you Benny for introducing this movie to me...I've enjoyed it for years!!!
"Evangeline"
[Intro]
She stands on the bank of the mighty Mississippi
Alone in the pale moonlight
Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler
Said that he'd return tonight
They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
Lovin' the whole night through
'Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing
And bring it on back to you.
Evangeline, Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
That pulled her man away.
Bayou Sam, from South Louisian'
Had gambling in his veins
Evangeline, from the Maritimes
Was slowly goin' insane.
High on the top of Hickory Hill
She stands in the lightnin' and thunder
Down on the river the boat was a-sinkin'
She watched that queen go under
Evangeline, Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
That pulled her man away.
Evangeline, Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
That pulled her man away.
Truly the best song by The Band.
what a doll an singer
Preciosa música y letra.
Nunca me canso de oírla. Hace muchos años vi la película recuerdo las entrevistas, el porque se retiraban, todo el escenario austero pero impecable. Fue fantástico . Nunca la olvidaré.

Emmylou and the Band , Powerful Singing and Powerful Music ,
clean traditional music.....
the more you listen to The Band the more you are inclined to agree that they are a musician's band.
I love watching Richard play drums.
Me too. I also like the way Robbie seems to off in dream land while he plays guitar.
me too also
He was!
I like it, great
Even better than my memory... Pass me a tissue, please?
Emmylou is just tremendous, as is The Band.
you bet
Emmylou Harris is captivating and hypnotic. I can't take my eyes off of her. She's so poised and graceful, and relaxed, very natural. If I let myself, I could sit and watch her videos all day long on UA-cam.
oh may GOD this is truly a gd song
Time when music made sense. Unlike todays forgetful
songs.
