The Band gets their name from starting out as the backup band for Rompin’ Romney Hawkins, followed up by backing Bob Dylan when he went electric. They are special in that there is talent all over the place instead of a star. The Weight, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down and Ophelia are all great songs. Actually if you like them, it is hard to find a bad one.
They weren't his backing band at newport in '65 ... that was mike bloomfield, al kooper, and members of the butterfield blues band. They were his backing band for his 66 world tour, a year after he went electric.
@@dylanthompson8511 actually they didn’t, robbie and Levon were part of that crew but it was also Harvey brooks and al kooper, who are not from the band.
...and that is how a great band sounds when everything works together - love this performance so much! Get chills every time I hear it. Enjoyed your reaction!
Turning 70 soon and been listening to this song forever. They just don’t make music like this anymore. I know it sounds cliche but there aren’t any other words to how good this music is. The Band was just so talented.
This song breaks my heart everytime. Especially now. Of course its the words that speak so much. I mean just look at this line.. "Now there's no love As true as the love That dies untold But the clouds never hung so low before" Whats more heartbreaking than a love that could have had a story, a wonderful story of romance, commitment, family and memories but ended before the happy ever got started. It goes untold. Thats when you start noticing everything is so heavy. Even the clouds hang a bit lower than ever before. The rain seems like a flowing of tears at your door. And you dont notice the sunshine due to the depression. The lonely deep isolation nearly drives one mad and crazy. Every corner seems to be haunted by that love lost. "Without your love I'm nothing at all Like an empty hall, it's a lonely fall Since you've gone it's a losing battle Stampeding cattle, they rattle the walls" The song places us at the scene in a cabin I think. Alone. With a thunderstorm beating at the doors and even the imagery of cattle stampeding is placed as the persons thoughts just beating his heads thoughts about that love. Rattling the mans very soul because since shes gone he knows its a losing battle to get back to normal. "And the dawn don't rescue me no more" Even a new day that comes doesnt let him forget. Theyll be no nee starts. His heart is crushed. A very moving song that mixes old western ideas with a crying voice from Rick Danko as he sings in that yearning amazing voice that he had. He has a tear in his voice. A pain. And it fits this song perfectly. Robbies guitar bites through the song ringing in the strain of the emotions within the words to express it in a way that the heartbroken pounds on the wall with the hurts of lost love. Levons drums plod to keep the beat of a man who has to throw love letters away in order to even cope. The drums set that feeling of barely feeling like lifting your feet to the next step due to the heaviness of the loss. One of the greatest sad songs ever written and the performance is lightning in a bottle of whiskey. Thank you for posting this one that no one else really does in reactions. If you get the chance go back and really listen to the words and bring them up to read them. Paints a powerful picture of the heart.
That is a wonderful description of this song. You really hit it and you are so right about Rick, he is my favorite singer from The Band (although I love all of them) love how he draws out the waaal.
The interviews Martin Scorsese does with the band members, throughout the movie are worth watching all by themselves. Hope you can eventually cover all the guests who performed in The Last Waltz. Many people have said, including the artists themselves, most of their performances that night were the best of their careers. You’d be one to fully appreciate the movie.
This is my favorite live performance of all time. That being said, this entire album/documentary is full of great performances. Neil Young doing "Helpless is another standout, Joni Mitchell's back up vocal puts it over the top.
❤ i was just watching you react to a bob dylan song and i thought to myself how amazing it would be for you to react to the band its makes no difference, and you must have read my mind. This is one of the most beautiful yet painful songs ever. ❤
Ok if you ever get the chance. React to a group called Goose creek symphony. I do not care the song. Their style goes from bluegrass, to folk, to country, or to rock. Whatever they feel like. So yeah pick a random song and react to them.
Love The Band, Levon Helm was the only one who could claim a legitimate southern accent ( loved his voice ). The other four band members are Canadians eh! Lol. You must try Up On Cripple Creek and The Weight. R.I.P. Levon Helm, Rick Danko and Richard Manuel.
This is the group that other musicians listen to!! Truly one of the most unique and talented bands of our time! 3 lead vocalists, all wonderful! This is Rick Danko, but Richard Manuel and Levon Helm also sang lead. This is from the movie "The Last Waltz" and every music fan should own a copy! Dylan, Joni, Neil Young, Neil Diamond, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, The Staple Singers, Eric Clapton, Dr. John, Ronnie Hawkins, Emmylou Harris, Paul Butterfield, Ringo, Ronnie Wood....hell everybody was there! I'd have a hard time narrowing my recommendation to one Band song, so I'll give you a few......."The Weight" "Ophelia" "The Shape I'm In" and the beautiful "Acadian Driftwood", but I promise you there are so many more. Hell, just make a song list, put it on the wall and throw a dart. I'll guarantee you hit a great song!
Like it says at the very beginning of The Last Waltz..THIS FILM SHOULD BE PLAYED LOUD! Too bad you got a clip with such low volume. Anyway, great tune, great reaction. One of the most emotional live rock & roll clips you’ll ever find.🎸💥
None of The Band members are forgotten by me. I read Robbie's book last summer, was almost done when the news came he passed away. I then ordered 2 books from Amazon about The Band. Barney Hoskyns biography "Across the Great Divide", and The story of The Band, from the BIg Pink to The Last Waltz, by Harvey and Kenneth Kubernik. If you are a fan of The Band I highly recommend all of them. I listen to their music almost every day.@@willywonka7812
One of the all time greatest bands in the history of music ,the inventors of country rock , you should check out the last waltz concert movie that this is lifted from ,the best concert film ever made , directed by scorcese with lazlo Kovacs brilliant cinematography 💥
'King Harvest' by The Band has a really cool vibe ua-cam.com/video/EpGyfOnMNGk/v-deo.html

THIS Song by Rick Danko (RIP BBE 🙏🏻💔) was ONE of my FAVE from this full video called "The Last Waltz" by Martin Scorsese!! You should watch the full concert!!
Insane how people think Rick is the weak link. It’s obviously Robbie. Don’t get me wrong, his guitar playing is perfect for their sound but I’m sure a lot of guitarists could do his job. He does know Neil Diamond so there’s that.
No one in THe Band was the weakest link, less of all Robbie and Rick. Robbie wrote the lyrics and he knew how would do the song most justice, in this case Rick. Like Robbie said Rick would sing it with pouring all of his emotions into it, but still not make it come off as self pity. Both genioues Robbie and Rick. Love all The Band members, but have a soft spot for those 2.
First time I heard this, I had been away from my love for a long stretch...it kinda tore me up. The line "And the dawn don't rescue me no more" always hit me, too. In most of my most depressive phases, I would at least have a bit of reprieve in the morning. I knew I really was hitting bottom when even the dawn didn't rescue me
I read this description of Rick's voice "his voice was so plaintive achingly beautiful and it could bring a tear of the most hardened Hell's Angel". I love The Band love Robbie, Rick is my favorite singer from The Band. Not to take anything away from the others, they were all great.
Read them at weep, however the line that always gets me is "and the dawn don't rescue me". We have all been there, you get up in the morning and think it will be better, and then you realize that is not the case.
Not only does The Band make me feel so many emotions, but those emotions are intensified by the American early 19th century atmosphere that adds a touch of nostalgia and history. The final touch.
You must watch the documentary concert. “The Last Waltz”, It’s The Band, farewell all-Star concert. Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, dr. John, Van Morrison, The staple singers, and more.
Glad you appreciate country songs, please react to The Band, "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", live in concert 1975, do yourself a favor and order the DVD of the Band Farewell Concert, great reaction!
We stole the bread also, the three amigos. We hurt 7/11 back in 73 on. We knew the guy couldn’t chase us and leave the store. The Band was Great, we probably consumed the goods while listening to,The Band.
they all get a chance to shine. never allowing one to be bigger than the other. Because they all could lead a band!!!! Extremely talented. first to be on the cover of Time magazine as musicians!
This band "the Band" is the type of band that will get your grandfather off the alcohol and get your grand mother back on the pill. big thanks to Martin Scorsese. with out his vison to make this movie it would be lost forever. and you would be watching mtv type crap if you are young, get your self a copy and watch it with your folks. now that would be a great reaction.
You are absolutely right they cut a section of lyrics and if I ain’t mistaken a section of music also, which is a shame since it’s one of their best songs!!
Rick Danko is such an emotive singer. Glad to see him getting the respect he deserves.
Truly one of the best ever! The man with the stage fright, just standing up there to give it all his might.......
RIP
Brilliant - as they all were
Rick worked in the butcher shop in the small Canadian town where I grew up💕
My first crush 🥰

@@asarosensweet3292 Thank you. I was sure of the chronology. I just knew that they were the band long before they were The Band.
@@asarosensweet3292 actually, they first joined Dylan in Forest Hills NY '65, and toured America before they got to Europe in '66.
@@dylanthompson8511 actually they didn’t, robbie and Levon were part of that crew but it was also Harvey brooks and al kooper, who are not from the band.

One of my favourite songs, by one of my favourite bands. The Band had 3 unbelievable singers, and what a great catalog.

The Band was one of the greatest live bands ever. Check out Blind Willie Mctell by the Band

If you ever had your heart ripped out. That song says it all
Ophelia where have you gone

So yeah pick a random song and react to them.
Love The Band, Levon Helm was the only one who could claim a legitimate southern accent ( loved his voice ). The other four band members are Canadians eh! Lol. You must try Up On Cripple Creek and The Weight. R.I.P. Levon Helm, Rick Danko and Richard Manuel.
And this is why after getting to know the Band, EVERY single band/group I hear nowadays.. I just go... Meh...
Garth's sax absolutely melts me every time on this. Just so so good. 👍👍👍👍

Fast forward past the Neil Diamond bit, but other than him it's all good.
Nah, I'm no Neil Diamond fan, but he's got a great and interesting voice, and backed by The Band is awesome.
This band changed music.
Love your reaction. That’s Rick Danko singing...I love his voice
You should check out Acadian Driftwood by this band! You won't be disappointed.
Camera doesn’t show it much but Rick Danko is doing vocals and playing bass at the same time 😍
Like it says at the very beginning of The Last Waltz..THIS FILM SHOULD BE PLAYED LOUD! Too bad you got a clip with such low volume. Anyway, great tune, great reaction. One of the most emotional live rock & roll clips you’ll ever find.🎸💥
To hear Richard Manuel’s vocals try “the shape I’m in “. A banger by the band.
You can’t go wrong with anything from the last waltz
He's right. You should try reacting to more songs from the last waltz
Well, I could do without some of the spoken word stuff they threw in.
Oh, there’s plenty of cringe in The Last Waltz
Poignant song. Tight band.
Stage Fright is another great one by the Band
Do Ophelia by The Band. Best version is from the same live concert
That's actually a live recording on a sound stage, but, yes, definitely worth a listen.
It hurts within seconds. Bravo!
More of THE band plz
THE BAND! 😀 Yes! “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down” is a favorite, The Weight”; must heard by music all lovers ❤️
Playing For Change has the Best version of The Weight I've ever heard, with musicians from around the globe on different instruments
A song so sad it feels good. Can't ever get enough .
LOVE The Band!
Scorsese movie. Fact.
As good as this singer is, Richard Manuel was even better. RIP
Why compare they are both great, although I have a soft spot for Rick.
@@hannejeppesen1809 cos Manuel is forgotten

At an 8 minute limit you're gonna miss out on some of the best music ever created. I suggest maybe rethinking that plan. 🥴✌️🌻
One of my favorite bands of all time. And this whole show is sick.

You should check out the movie the last waltz it's all about the last concert they
Did before going their separate ways
RIP Rick Miss your Gift to the world !
So many great songs at this show. I love the Coyote Joni Mitchell does. And the back story between her and Neil young. Awesome.
Neil young said it was the greatest honour in his life to play with the band on last waltz.
♥ this song! One of the best love lost songs ever made. BTW - check out the unedited full length version of this sometime
Danko wasn’t the best of singers, but he was a great singer
You might want to check on the length of videos to make more money. I think I saw they should be 8 minutes or longer.
please do stagefright its another beautiful song
You should definitely check out the band performing The Weight...last waltz live.
Think about these great musicians. Each played two or three instruments. Totally commited to the art and love of song. Never see that again.
Insane how people think Rick is the weak link. It’s obviously Robbie. Don’t get me wrong, his guitar playing is perfect for their sound but I’m sure a lot of guitarists could do his job. He does know Neil Diamond so there’s that.

Not sure what year this is from; was Robbie Robertson no longer with them? Good song choice✌
Robbie is there. This is an exert from "The Last Waltz" movie. Robbie never came back to the later lineups.
@@tommathews3964 Thank you
"Yo Yo what's happenin' guys".........can you please stop with the lame cliches and think for yourself!!! WTF!

I liked Rick's voice. It was different. 90% of singers out there all sound the same. It's a shame is passed in '99.
RIP Norfolk county misses it's favourite son Rick Danko!
its called canadian parka shopping its amazing just how much could be stuffed into a parka coat

This was their last concert as a complete band after 16 years together.
❤️💛🧡
Keep on rocking my friend. TX stay well
Love this song! One of the greats. Thanks, Teez! 😍
Rattle the waaal love Rick's singing, and he not bad to look at either.

Só pretty you stopped it before it had finished!
Garth Hudson...soothes my pain...
Actually there is a full tilt horn section at the gig with the venerable Howard Johnson on tuba.
Always go with the long/live version
Anytime I'm in a sad mood how to listen to the song so emotional to me
the band and the staples: the weight
Guy Clark- Stuff that Works
Shove your eight minutes.
if get this then u are my brother and my sister
You must watch the documentary concert. “The Last Waltz”, It’s
The Band, farewell all-Star concert. Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, dr. John, Van Morrison, The staple singers, and more.
Does my 8:30 request miss the cut?
No that’s all good fam 💯
@@TeezMcGee Nice! I think it’s going to be a good one...

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!
It’s too bad they cut some of this song to make it on the DVD. One of my favorite songs ever!!
They were that great,liked .
Props for reacting to this one
Why they are called the Band...
God, I miss Rick Danko.
'game over' is right
Old School, thank you for opening your mind and heart brother.
We stole the bread also, the three amigos. We hurt 7/11 back in 73 on. We knew the guy couldn’t chase us and leave the store. The Band was Great, we probably consumed the goods while listening to,The Band.
talk about a broken hart
left handed? AYYO
I would love to see your reaction and thoughts of the night they drove old dixie down . The band preforming it
That's Garth 😁
Best song ever
they all get a chance to shine. never allowing one to be bigger than the other. Because they all could lead a band!!!! Extremely talented. first to be on the cover of Time magazine as musicians!
In deed. Beautiful song. One my favorite of all time. Tanks for the reaction
Best band of all time right there......
Congratulations man!
Teez has good taste in music
Ophelia is another great song.The Band had three great singers.
So fun that someone finally reacted to another song than The Weight! Id love to see some reactions to other The Band songs, this was gold.
This band "the Band" is the type of band that will get your grandfather off the alcohol and get your grand mother back on the pill.
big thanks to Martin Scorsese.
with out his vison to make this movie it would be lost forever.
and you would be watching mtv type crap
if you are young, get your self a copy and watch it with your folks.
now that would be a great reaction.
Garth Hudson (sax) - could pretty much play any instrument and was a monster on Organ. The talent of this group could collapse a stage.
He even taught all the rest to play music.
I believe he omitted a verse that's included in the studio version. But this performance is next level.
You are absolutely right they cut a section of lyrics and if I ain’t mistaken a section of music also, which is a shame since it’s one of their best songs!!
@@nrwlkguy It believe the CD of this has the complete song, but it's been a while since I've listened to it.
@@jnagarya519. I think so too, but on the film (DVD) is where they shorten the song.
