close your eyes,,,, picture yourself sitting outside a cabin on the porch with your friends sipping some honeysuckle shine , swapping stories. a gentle wind flows across the hairs on your arm. the music is in your blood. the same blood as your earthly brothers. no words need be said, and this song follows that gentle breeze.and time slows down to cherish every second as if it was your last. feels good, dont it? your welcome here anytime, no judging anything, letting your souls blend together. happy, content. heaven on earth. that is how i paint my picture
One thing that strikes me about Levon - every single time you see him playing, he looks like an excited small boy to be on stage singing/drumming/playing. So talented and yet so humble. RIP.
I've got it myself & will have it till I also get to the RIP part. You might understand that some of us have no choice & whether anybody gets the chance to hear any of us humble boys is not really in our control if we don't do the "business" part of it. I'm glad we all got to hear this guy :) Me, I will always be the small boy on stage as I wasn't very tall to start with! ;)
I just love this song and the looks on the faces of the players, doing what they love with the man they love, Levon Helm, "The Man". Larry Campbell's picking on this is special!
Of course, Levon Helm was the backbone of The Band and wrote many of their best songs. He played Loretta Lynn's daddy in the movie "Coal Miner's Daughter".
the problem with this is that there is no problem. it just caint get any better, thanks 4 posting. still can't get over it. best version. music to my ears.
I lived in Dallas for a year and came back to Austin in 1972. I knew this song and wondered if it was about Deep Elem in Dallas. Come to find out that it is! Levon and his band do a damn fine job playing it too!
so damn nice, thank you Levon, great vocals Larry. If you can count Levon Helm and Jorma Kaukonen as artists you've played with often, then you're doing great.
Deep Ellum... back when I lived in Ft, Worth, many years ago now was a place some of us wanted to go, we KNEW where the music was real, & so was life, rich with the good soul. Maybe I'll get back there who knows. Meantime thanks to Levon & Dirt Farmers not to mention soo many others for keeping this alive
Beautiful, joyful, relaxed musicianship. Like all great bands, it's about how good the music is rather than how good the players are. This is what you learn from a lifetime of doing it well.
@@dragmyre Levon was the original drummer /singer in the group called the Band .in th e 60 s to the end , wikkpedia them im pretty sure youll know some of their songs .
I have watched this video a few times now. I come every once in a while to remember levon. This Larry buy blows me away too. That voice is incredible. I give him all my admiration for helping levon go out as he did... I hope you are repaid, my friend.
I met levon's helms mother and father on a bus trip from Az to Ct. they got on in joplin. they were going up to Bethel N.Y. . saw the scrap books and pictures of Levon's prom tux. it was light blue . nice people . literally salt of the earth
It never will! It is the Magic of the 1950-70s Music catalog of Every genre. If only the Young Musicians of today would learn from the MASTERS of that time. We still have the songs, the vibe, The Energy of the Best Time Ever! We my generation is gone PLEASE Young Ones Keep listening Learning and TEACHING your children about The most special Time of the 20th century. I know because I LIVED IT! Robbie You have "Painted Your Masterpiece" dear,Rest In Beautiful Peace with your Brothers and Sisters. ✌️🙏🩵💛🧡💚😪
LEVON played Lorretta Lynns father in her autobiograpical movie The Coal miners Daughter back in 1978 ? yup he was cool in that role and continued to play with the Band on n off following that and with others .
hey now rick , east coast Canada . saw levon n band 6 months before we lost him it was amazing the energy n respect for him that was in the room .it was incediable how he was , as he was suffering from cancer at the time , i belive , taking short cuts in his drum playing , but still keeping the sharp ,bright Levon beat in tact, that he owned , amazing to watch . i believe it was close to 2 hour show , sure it was over 90 minutes and him that close to the end played the whole time . even sang a couple , Levon Lives .
The whole song is so cool...call me a bass lover, I don't care, I love the stand up bass in this song. It's all good but bravo to the gentleman bass player. Love you all for sharing with us. Thanks, Mr. Levon Love and miss you sir.
u should listen to junior huskey play on the nitty grritty dirt bands album called will the circle be unbroken , vol . 1 ,, or Willie Dixons album called I Am the Blues . stellar bass playing .
I just love this song and music it makes you feel good just like you want to get up and dance.Wish i had the l lirics.I love the whole layout of the song.I would like to hear more of Levon Helm and his fab group.,Thank You from Sask. Canada.God Bless.
Ive said it many times when all of us have long passed, this great song anthem.whatever you wish to call it will still be remembered, its for the ages so it is for the one and only Robert Zimerman
I want to like this 3 or 4 times!! I saw Larry and Teresa at the Vancouver Island Folk Festival last year. Immediately impressed, and so taken by Larry's great big grin - ALL THE TIME! Have you ever seen anyone who loves what he is doing more than this?? So, so talented, and I am a guitar player, so I know brilliance when I see it. Love these guys, and miss Ol' Levon...

My dad played this song when I was younger, he was a good flat picker did a great cover on this song. RIP Dad.
One thing that strikes me about Levon - every single time you see him playing, he looks like an excited small boy to be on stage singing/drumming/playing. So talented and yet so humble. RIP.
What a great observation
His first connection with music was for the fun of it, and he never lost it.
A beautiful soul and great musician.
I've got it myself & will have it till I also get to the RIP part. You might understand that some of us have no choice & whether anybody gets the chance to hear any of us humble boys is not really in our control if we don't do the "business" part of it.

It's is teeth. The tops are forward, like a beaver, so he is always smiling. Kind of cool...
Larry Campbell, your guitar playing is so damn good, I keep listening and never get tired
STILL luvin this song after all these yrs. That darn LC he's f***g GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That gets better every time I watch it.
well done Im 76,play every day for 44 yrs.Thank you,it was a pleasure.
Found this accidentally last week. How could anyone give it a thumbs down? Absolute magic!!
I just love this song and the looks on the faces of the players, doing what they love with the man they love, Levon Helm, "The Man". Larry Campbell's picking on this is special!
Levon Helm was/is a National Treasure.
Larry Campbell is a great musician and a great guy, that’s why Levon worked with him!
Larry Campbell! This is the best version of this song I've heard.
Why did it take me 9 years to find this pure gem!!!!!? Beautiful
No kidding. I wish i could live about 65 more years so i can listen to this great music i never knew exitsed.
Patience Grasshopper
This is the best version of Deep Elem Blues I've found. RIP Levon Helm.
I can’t stop coming back to hear and feel this over and over.
Go take a nap...
Finally an "Addiction" I can get onboard with
I don't get tired of it- yet
THIS IS REAL FRIGGIN' MUSIC !!!! First TIME I've ever heard them !!!!!
Unfortunately Levon is no longer with us, lovely man he was.
@@Mounhas Damn !!! I hope Levon is resting in peace. Is the tuning of his guitar Drop D ? I am new to this style of music and I love it.
Of course, Levon Helm was the backbone of The Band and wrote many of their best songs.
He played Loretta Lynn's daddy in the movie "Coal Miner's Daughter".
love this more traditional arrangement of the blues classic......r.i.p. Levon
One of the best pickers and singers to ever grace a stage. Fantastic! 🎶🤗🎵
Levon's Music Transcends Time, Race or Creeds --It is Music from the Heart and Soul that All can Respect and Enjoy.....
Larry Campbell is one of the most talented unknown musicians around.
Yes, first time listening to him. Great feel on the guitar and voice!
Love me some larry campbell and miss levon too.
Couldn't agree more. Saw him play with Shawn Colvin in Boulder in '17. What a show!
He’s not unknown tho. Has a killer career. Well respected.
Yo le conocí en Madrid y tanto el como su mujer son increíbles a todos los niveles !!!
His parties were amazing, he was even more amazing. He was a real good human and I'll miss him.
That´s the right weight and speed! Very heavy and nice. One off our favourite tunes at the oldtime jam, Stockholm, Sweden with Rachel Eddy.
Is there some kinda way I can give this two likes?
I'll add one for you.
Me too!

Ill throw an extra one in there for you
This relaxed tense precise rhythm.
Is the walkin pace sweet rhythm of life.
Start swingin the blues.
On the one.
Clerky.
Scotland.

Dear Levon.x
love everything about this song and Larry Campbell please keep bringin it on RIP Levon
the problem with this is that there is no problem. it just caint get any better, thanks 4 posting. still can't get over it. best version. music to my ears.
Love it!
Takes me back to the 80s only we needed $200 to get outta jail then.. Always had $500 total for good times and wild women..
Absolutely.. and knowing how much respect everyone had for Lavon (his real spelling) makes it even sweeter!!
One of the best versions I've heard. So much feeling.❤
Levons birthday ought to be a national holiday.
Amen to that!
wooooooow sweet Mama; Daddy got them DEEP Elem Blues!
Well then let's just do that. May 26th, I believe.
Amen brother
Or at least a Arkansas state holiday
I lived in Dallas for a year and came back to Austin in 1972. I knew this song and wondered if it was about Deep Elem in Dallas. Come to find out that it is! Levon and his band do a damn fine job playing it too!
Is it not Deep Ellum? I was wondering about the same, if this song was written about that neighborhood in Dallas famous for its Blues History.
so damn nice, thank you Levon, great vocals Larry. If you can count Levon Helm and Jorma Kaukonen as artists you've played with often, then you're doing great.
Great song, beautifully performed!! ❤❤
Never complain or insult SIR. UA-cam music is the way forward. It feeds the souls of ALL lovers of music.
Deep Ellum... back when I lived in Ft, Worth, many years ago now was a place some of us wanted to go, we KNEW where the music was real, & so was life, rich with the good soul. Maybe I'll get back there who knows. Meantime thanks to Levon & Dirt Farmers not to mention soo many others for keeping this alive
That’s the best and most effective performance on acoustic bass I ever heard.
How could anybody dislike this? Wonderfull!
Larry Cambell blows me away!!!! Never heard of him till about a yr ago.He makes this quartet
Saw him a long time ago Backing Bob Dylan. On "All Along the Watchtower", the was playing Hendrix's part on an old lap steel. My jaw is still dropped.
can’t get this darn song out of my brain man I love it.
A great cast of musically gifted angels, thanks for the great sounds that just changed my state from them Deep Elem Blues Blues to bliss!
I love this. Original old style country/blues. Reminds me of Guy Clarke somehow.
Had the pleasure of picking with Mr Larry a while back, hope the opportunity presents itself again. A really talented guy 🎼🎶🎸🪕🎻 Dennis
Those guitar solos are really awesome. And that woman in the white shirt has a great voice.
That's Levon's daughter...Amy, I believe?
I liked this the first time I heard it. The more I hear it, the more I like it. Awesome!!!
Wow! just blew me away, seriously talented guy and extraordinary band,
Really special...thanks..
Music of the 1st Class Variety....just doesn't get any better. Levon always surrounded himself with the best musicians. Miss him. Thanks for posting!
Beautiful, joyful, relaxed musicianship. Like all great bands, it's about how good the music is rather than how good the players are. This is what you learn from a lifetime of doing it well.
Gone but never, never forgotten!!!! Miss you so much Levon....the world misses you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
which one is Levon? please,
@@dragmyre the one playing the mandolin
@@dragmyre Levon was the original drummer /singer in the group called the Band .in th e 60 s to the end , wikkpedia them im pretty sure youll know some of their songs .
I just love this. Great job good guitar picking
There was a time in America when this music was played all the time. A time when the feelings this music evokes were plentiful. Bless you Levon.
my guess is 1965 to 1975 .
Love this performance. It sends out such good and positive energy
Hi Amy.
Yer dad's pal clerky fae scotland.
God bless you all.xxxx
Man, he can really plat that guitar! The guy on the bass viol's awesome too!

Larry Campbell, one of the finest musicians that Bob Dylan had in his band, so glad he ended up playing with Levon!
I agree from sunny qld
levon is a legend
Levon played the Coal Miner to perfection and was a great Musician as well,a well rounded mountain boy.
LEVON played Lorretta Lynns father in her autobiograpical movie The Coal miners Daughter back in 1978 ? yup he was cool in that role and continued to play with the Band on n off following that and with others .
Love this... Deep Elem has been a Grateful Dead staple since the 70's.
It's an old song, not sure of its history, but I know it goes way back.
hey now rick , east coast Canada . saw levon n band 6 months before we lost him it was amazing the energy n respect for him that was in the room .it was incediable how he was , as he was suffering from cancer at the time , i belive , taking short cuts in his drum playing , but still keeping the sharp ,bright Levon beat in tact, that he owned , amazing to watch . i believe it was close to 2 hour show , sure it was over 90 minutes and him that close to the end played the whole time . even sang a couple , Levon Lives .
Awesome musicians. Levon Helm was a giant of his craft. I miss him. Thank goodness their music will live on forever.

Thank you for striking the real chord that runs through Americana Blues!
