Insane how enormously talented each member of The Band was, but Rick was my favorite. Their kind passes only once in this lifetime. Miss Levon and Richard, but Rick the most.
I was at the concert at the Cruise Cafe that night, with Danko, Fjeld and Anderson. I also met him at the studio a couple of days before, where they were recording their CD, because I was tuning the piano there. He was a very nice and friendly man.
Rick Danko is a LEGEND. What a tremendous artist and man. Nobody sounds like Rick Danko. He sang with a sweet sadness and had a rare high to low vocal ability. One of a kind. All he ever wanted was to play music. Thank God he did.
Miss my old buddy Rick... Got to play and sing with him a few times... Treasured moments.... He was a happy guy and loved my homegrown... Rest in Peace...
I saw Rick playing solo at a BMW motorcycle Rallye in upstate NY months before he passed away!!! Noticed he wasn't in great shape at the time! I had a weird experience there!! I sat right up front because I was a big "The Band" fan and at one point while he played his guitar he look right into my eyes as if trying to say something!!! Didn't think anything about it 6 months later heard about his passing !!! Then it came back to me!!!! Don
Seemed like such a happy soul... For me, December is always "DankoDays": born on the 29th, 79 years ago, passed on the 10th, 1999. I must admit, though, I listen to Ricky's music year 'round. He is missed. RIP.
I met Rick about a year later at an autism benefit show in NYC. Rick was very kind and friendly. I got to the show early and he came out and did a casual sound check. I was the only one the auditorium as Rick ran through a couple of tunes for sound check. I heard “When You Awake” and I believe he also did “Twilight” .
I got to meet Rick after a show in Atlanta back in 1994 when he and a couple of the newer band members hung around outside the bus where it was parked behind the venue. He was friendly and personable and took the time to speak with everyone who happened to be there after the concert. I am glad to read comments from other people who have met Rick and got to see what a genuinely nice person he was. It's such as sad loss that he has been gone so long.
Rick was for some reason, my favorite member of THE BAND. I think there was something about his spirit that just grabbed me and pulled me into the music! Him singing IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE in the Last Waltz film just breaks my heart every time I hear it! Plus he is my favorite bass player of all time... especially back when he played that big fretless bass with the "violin" headstock. I wish I knew who made that bass, or if it was a one of a kind. I'd surely give anything to buy one of those, though I'm sure it's way beyond my pay scale! I love Rick's voice... the one verse he sings in THE WEIGHT... ,"Crazy Chester followed me and be caught me in the fog..." My favorite verse in the song. God bless you Rick, may you rest in peace. And to die on your 50th birthday... I'm 60 now and it seems impossible that I'm ten years older than he ever lived to be! Crazy!! I saw THE BAND in a little bar in Portland Oregon... When I bought the tickets, Richard Manuel was alive, but by the time the concert rolled around, he had taken his life. They'd hired a new piano player, but without Richard it was a different Band. But I got to spend half the show so close to Levon I could have reached out and touched his foot, I then moved to the other side of the stage and watched Rick Danko from about five feet away for the rest of the show! One of the most excellent performance I'd ever seen! As always, ✌🏼& ❤️🌎🌍
Add me to the column of people who crossed paths with the man. Knoxville, I'm guessing 1989-1990. I was fortunate enough to be there on the invite of someone connected to the promoter. While I remember him looking far different than the man I was familiar with in the 70"s, he was so genuine and kind. We were having drinks at the bar after the show (I know), and I remember thinking how incredible that this at least semi-icon of rock was just a guy, shooting the shit. Great guy, Rick Danko.
My first true love/boyfriend….I was in high school in San Francisco in the late 60’s….fell in love for the first time…he eventually got strung out ….heroin seemed to be everywhere back then…anyway…so sad to see what it does to the best of us….Rick was so talented and had that amazing voice….pain, I guess, got the best of him….physical and emotional….We all do the best we can in this life. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
God: Ok, lets see I need a good base base player, guitar player, a superp singer who can be happy and sad at the same time, team player, Damn it Gabriel go get Danko!
anyone have the chords to this version? All I can find online are the other 2 versions but I need this one. Some of the chords look the same but Rick isn't using a capo here. Any help is much appreciated!
Hey, I worked my ass of on twilight, and the real key was realizing he played it in "dropped D" tuning... So take that low E string and drop it down to a D... Watch his hands (in every video you can find of him singing this song)... The chords came together pretty quickly once I moved to "drop D tuning." It also gives it a little more bass emphasis which is nice if you're playing solo. Good luck! Wish I could give you a lesson, but I'll bet you'll pick it up! Good luck! God bless you Rick... The best! RIP
Danio was a Guild or Gibson guy when it came to acoustics. This is the first time I’ve seen him with an Alvarez or K Yari guitar! Peace (I’m about ten yrs younger than Rick, but I grew up just down Hwy #3 from his house. In fact, I got to know all The Bands members except Levon) Peace
@@unclebobunclebob They can. Everyone knows that self absorbed Robbie Robertson wrote the songs after they all taught him everything about music. Most people don’t like the way Robbie sold out. So your comment seemed uncalled for. It’s a Danko video. Piss on Robbie.

I was very close to Rick..His voice was that of an Angel and so was his Heart and Soul. Miss you Mmy Dear Friend ❤
He was a super nice guy.
Such a wonderful musician and such a sweet man. Thank you for this !!
Rick Danko singing "It makes no difference." Rips my heart out every time.

A true moment in Danko history captured in all its glory blazing and heartfelt now crystallized in our hearts forevermore RIP RD
Never met him. Still miss him.

Sweet man and talented voice. Miss you Rick
What a talent and a lovely man it seems. Loved all the Band singers but Rick was the special voice for me.

What a treasure! Rick was such a beautiful musical spirit.
Best version of this song. The way Rick plays this i can listen to it over and over again.
This is fantastic
Agreed..

This is a late reply, but that fretless bass was an Ampeg AMUB-1.
@@tannerharris3271 thank you for the info about Rick Danko's bass... Im going to look around for one of them. Thank you again, William Adams
@@williamadamsmusic3025 My pleasure, happy to help. Take care.
A beautiful human
I love when Rick plays acoustic. These songs transfer so well with his playing. His high lonesome tone is un matched.
Goddang great talent and he just puts a smile on your face, his goodness really radiates
Absolutely beautiful version. Thanks for sharing this!
Absolutely love his voice!

As real and genuine as a person can be. Very modest for such a great musician. Eases into that song like its an old friend!
The Great Rick Danko
Miss you Rick. You inspired all of us.
You know, His speaking voice is just as sexy as his singing.
Ohhh glorious. RIP Rick Danko
God: Ok, lets see I need a good base base player, guitar player, a superp singer who can be happy and sad at the same time, team player, Damn it Gabriel go get Danko!
What a precious soul.💜
Rick was awesome!
What a treasure. Rick Danko’s so adorable. Wish I could have met him.
Happy Birthday Uncle Rick. We miss you so much.
glad to see someone remembered
Spill some wine for The Rick Danko
Taken away too soon.
That sweet far away smile at 3:13 squeezes my heart.♥
I miss him every day. Such a super nice, funny and goofy guy. And talented of course. One of the kindest men to walk the Earth. Taken to soon.
This is the heart of America
Canada
whatta great soul he was, it just shines out!
Beautifull voice
He was such a cool dude!
O god he is wonderful
NRk production this is why the whole of Norway is paying the fee for this tv station, because of this its worth it through the ages.
My man
Beautiful.
the man was talented definitely 😎
And a super nice guy because was a Canadian lol.
Just know I would have loved you if I'd known you. Just get that feeling.
RIP Rick.
God Bless Him!
Rick is the best!
Great
Love it!
From Icon to Angel, I will always love you Rick, R.I.P.
oh my god!
The first song is "Twilight"
3:04 is when the Evangeline performance starts.
My maan
РИК ЗАМЕЧАТЕЛЬНЫЙ.
Pure joy!❤
From Danko to Drake, we have the zenith of Canadian talent, and the absolute abyss. You know who is who, don't you?
Drake is an embarrassment. That shit ain't even music.
3:04 - Evangeline
❤️
Beautiful. Read the poem as well. Acadia lives.
🌹💚
Evangeline is the other song.
💕
"it's likely just an innocent story about people's infatuation with feelings."
Does anybody have the tabs for this particular version of Twilight? An estimation would be really helpful, I find it hard to figure it out.
anyone have the chords to this version? All I can find online are the other 2 versions but I need this one. Some of the chords look the same but Rick isn't using a capo here. Any help is much appreciated!

Is it a K. Yairi guitar he’s playing? The bridge system suggest it is. Anyone? Btw - this is so beautiful!
Yes, you're right, to me it seems this is the model Rick played yairi.com/k_yairi_guitars/wy1/
Danio was a Guild or Gibson guy when it came to acoustics. This is the first time I’ve seen him with an Alvarez or K Yari guitar!
Peace (I’m about ten yrs younger than Rick, but I grew up just down Hwy #3 from his house. In fact, I got to know all The Bands members except Levon)

Didn’t this video have an initial section where he sings twilight first?
Yes, I removed it because my yt chanell received copyright strike caused by that part of video.

Robbie's song.
But Robbie can’t carry a tune in a bucket so we’ll leave the singing to this fucking legend.
@@HuWhiteNat Why can't they both be legends. No song. No singing,
@@unclebobunclebob They can. Everyone knows that self absorbed Robbie Robertson wrote the songs after they all taught him everything about music. Most people don’t like the way Robbie sold out. So your comment seemed uncalled for. It’s a Danko video. Piss on Robbie.
@@HuWhiteNat I like them both. I particularly like songwriters and always comment on who wrote the song. Again. No song, no Rick singing the song.
Not only it's Pre-Invasion Future Danko, but it's also night-of-the-invasion Future Danko

Robbie sings this the best!
He was the cutest. Couldn't sign
Robbie wrote "Twilight," but I don't think he sang it... There'll never be another unique collection of talent like "The Band."
I believe Rick Danko sang this song.
@@danreilly2792 Yes, but Robbie didn’t sing it, although he wrote it…
Yes he did!
