I wish all the original The Band members would've reunited and made few more albums, Robbie is a terrific Blues guitarist and he needed that awakening again.

🕊❤️🕊 just love Robbie Robinson 🇨🇦

[@joeyholly5259]

Not enough to get his name right

[@tonebenderx]

I really wished this had been an hour or more instead of 11 minutes.

[@geekay1349]

is that all! We are hungry for more

[@robertparsons5295]

Levon had such a warm, great, smile.
Listening to Robbie, is like listening to velvet if velvet had a voice.

[@williamsmith8053]

In my opinion, The Last Waltz documentary film was the greatest rock film ever produced. Bill Smith, Las Vegas, NV.

[@RollingOrmond]

Save for the Joni Mitchell and Neil Diamond bits, soul dripping off every frame.

[@lisbethskaalum3680]

I totally agree

[@robertlepper5460]

It is pretentious

[@dit076]

That was great. Thanks for sharing!

[@ASelinger]

This is the best interview!

[@ASelinger]

Hey Ari

[@georghagglund9338]

There is so much focus on what Robbie Robertson did or didn't do with royalties and quitting The Band and such while albums like "Cahoots" get totally forgotten. I never see anything about that record. Isn't it time to lay the "politics" aside on this band that hasn't been active in decades and focus on the great music they left behind?

[@thepublichousebrandcom]

Georg Hägglund Cahoots isn't their best in fairness. '...Southern Cross'' is superior.

[@FOXLIES]

The greatest American Band was 4/5th C a n a d i a n !!!!!

[@steveconn]

George wasn't being condescending with the Keith remark; he was saying it took a heavy like Keith to match Robbie's artistic weight.

[@SilentKnight43]

Robbie's voice always sounds (to me) a lot like Eddie Van Halen.

[@nickcupkovic5721]

It doesn't work like that Musicians have they're own ways

[@leahflower9924]

If I had to spell George's last name in a spelling bee I would lose lol

[@paulevans8348]

Was this interview pasted together? Strange edits and an awkward ending.

[@larry1824]

In the last waltz your nicrophone

[@Rosesyoutube]

Love Mr Robertson's music and voice. George's weird lounging/on the edge of his seat poses are off-putting. Get chairs you like

[@aljoseph4170]

Keith Richards filed in for you? as if Robbie is not an icon? George that was an incredibly dumb thing to say. you made is sound like Robbie is well beneath Keith. what an insult.

[@MsAdesio]

So self congratulatory. He tells that story all over the place how he 'held Levon's hand ' , he obviously feels so guilty for what he did

[@christinelaframboises3705]

Wow, Who are you to say what any of these guys felt? Where you there?

[@jmgmarcus808]

Worst ending to an interview I have ever seen.

[@jimcunningham61]

Definitely awkward

[@johnwinger2240]

Proof sub human beings can be fantastic musicians

[@christinelaframboises3705]

What!!!??? Who are you to judge! 🤡

[@levistubbs8949]

is that a bad wig Robbie's got on ?

[@Bubbacat54]

The man who murdered the band........and the wig is appalling

[@geekay1349]

give it a rest
