Cover of the The Band classic written by Robbie Robertson in 1969. All the parts were recorded by quarantined musicians and sent to Neale Eckstein for mixing and video production.
I've just enjoyed Playing For Change cover this, now I'm here for this version.... and I noticed another version of The Band's classic song on my feed that I'll be off to listen to shortly.
I have heard so many versions of this song by so many people and I must say that you people do the best job! Even better than the pros ~Robinson gave us the "fatted calf" Feast y' all!
I can't imagine how hard it must be for all of you to just sit and wait, not knowing when (or whether) you'll ever be live on stage again, and what form that will take. Be patient, have faith, and know that that day WILL come. Thank you to every performer in this video for sharing your talents to bring us all a little joy. Bravo!
what a fantastic answer to the quarantine - to bring people together via technology, do a wonderful version of a classic song and put so much happiness in it for all to share.
I guess in the end, this song is not about the quality of people's voices, it's not even about the fact that some of them may be lip sinking .............all they are doing is UNITING in a world that is so uncertain and, quite frankly, scary. They have a song that they obviously love and all they are trying to do is spread that..........love, hope, joy and unity to all of us. How the hell can this be wrong..............we are all in this together and so how about we all appreciate the message they are sending .......rather than criticizing their 'real message'. Much Aroha (love & respect) to everyone in this video. Jim (New Zealand)
OMG, just what I needed, Grandma passed in the Nursing home while I was ill with it, it's been a hard month & a half, just now getting to grips with it, Grandma loved the Band, I've loved them since I heard them as a teen, sure been missing those that have passed, still have my bootleg Band tapes, thanks for these memories & next time I can add a vocal or two. Brilliant.
So sorry to hear about your grandma. Glad this video provided some comfort. It brought a bunch of us together who are really missing playing live together.
Very Very Nice! Levon has a HUGE smile on his face looking down when he hears how this song brings folks together and evokes such emotion! THX for a great job!!
Blown away by the musicality of these folks. And just spiced with same real crazy funny ideas. I love you guys! And Neale obviously took the main load in this project! 😊
Spot on intro wardrobe! Orange and dots! So envious of all your talent ! Praise God for sharing your souls🙏🏼✨💖 Beautiful rendition ! Enhanced this spring morning ... 🤔think I’ll imbibe one more time.
A really, really enjoyable clip everyone .... loved ALL the vocals, especially at 1:28, the guy on the lounge at "Hey Carmen" . Just one comment ....... the little white dog was a bit low in the mix .... woof. Love to you all from Australia ..... stay safe.

I hate it when people covered this song but you guys did an absolutely amazing job and Levon Helm would be proud watch it.

Few songs have this power of universality. So why is it so underrated!?!
Underrated by who? This shows how much weight this song gets.
@@jordanepstein1499 Pun not intended? Still literally no person I talk to physically has ever heard of The Band
@@jeffbrehove2614 That's just sad, must live in a cave to not know the best Southern (Canadian) band.
@@jordanepstein1499 Tell me about it.
You gonna call Nirvana underrated next? Because that’s how dumb you sound.
A really, really enjoyable clip everyone .... loved ALL the vocals, especially at 1:28, the guy on the lounge at "Hey Carmen" . Just one comment ....... the little white dog was a bit low in the mix .... woof. Love to you all from Australia ..... stay safe.
thank you
Great ;)
Great job everyone!
Great version. If you haven't already, check out the one with The Staple Singers.
dang this makes me so happy
