It takes bassist hand strength to pull off that end-of-the-neck mandolin-like acoustic guitar solo.

Rest easy ❤️‍🩹

Thank you for sharing this bittersweet memory of a very talented man. His partnership in The Band placed him among the very best IMO of the timeless classic rock and rollers. A very touching and sad song.

My Friend Rick,Miss Him,Was with him not long before he passed,My Friend Mark has his Gold Record,I Have Writings From Rick he gave me personally in Niagara Falls Canada HIS Second Home. RIP Brother 🙏

He was a great guitarist in my opinion, not just a great singer and human being.

The coolest breakup song in rock. Bar none.

Beautiful❤

A Beautiful heart wrenching performance.

If I had a chance to relive a day in my life, one day I would choose is the day I got to spend with Rick and Blondie Chaplin together in New Paltz, New York in 1979.

What a beautiful voice...unforgettable ❤

Lonnie Brooks was a bad man! I never heard him live. I have a live tape a friend recorded and it is great, play it frequently. Sugar Blue is going strong, my brother met him in China.

Omg, I love him so..what a talent. Same with his 🎶 guys. So much feeling and how beautiful.

Very sad to see an angle falling. Rip Rick- a Canadian with heart bigger than Kansas. ❤

The part he sings and I never felt so alone before brings tears 😭.

He could talk with that mfin guitar

Please see "when I awake". Get with God.

I’m here cause there was a Lonnie Brooks poster on Uncle Bucks (movie) wall.I call these treats when you revisit a movie😁

Rick you where loved by so many people, was it worth it ? we still love you Rick

Damn Rick was so good.

That's beautiful

Tearing up every time this plays! RIP Rick and everyone else in the band that didn’t make it. Greatest band of all time no matter what genre of music you love

Funky goodness with a Stones flair😍

Kind of a mix of gangster and street priest prophet...Frank Zappa George Clinton... Ornette Coleman Sun Ra Marvin Gaye Van Morrison all stirred up by an interstellar pirate poet philosopher... With a broken heart but an unbreakable spirit. The video is profound ...I love your backup singer too... She brings the church and her smile says everything will be alright... Someday somehow somewhere....😘

I love this song and Rick singing it.

Beautiful x

An amazing human being in the best meaning of the word. A true gentle person, and so, so beautiful to hear that unique voice on this tune; a Rick Danko trademark.

Oh my God what a beautiful voice and performance. I love you Rick. .

Best rendition of this song I have heard. Better than the last waltz version or album version or remastered version, Clapton version or other versions.

Wonderful musician, so incredibly talented and humble

1978. J’avais 18ans quand avec mes potes on a vu le film au cinema. C était magique et c’est toujours magique. Ce morceau est dans mon top 10 depuis. ❤

Dylan put it best this song is 'like a corkscrew to my heart'

Ricks voice was always magical. Miss you my friend....

Great!

Levon and Rick are resting side by side along with Rick Danko's son that died at the age of 18. I love The Band.

Wonderful song. Tragic loss.

I hate alcohol

He sounds great but it's so sad to see Rick like this.

Proverbs 16:25 There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

❤ Just amazing ❤

Damn, it looks like Rick ate a six-string!

Rick n Robbie used to play an Irish bar on Mission Hill in Boston back in the 1980’s. I saw Rick there more often playing solo but Robbie floated in once in a while. It was a dive and surreal.

So well said, from a true artist! We love you!

Sugar Blue is like an alien from another planet--and a continual inspiration on the harmonica.

I hope the kids at that concert were aware of how privileged they were that night just to be there.

Happy Birthday In Heaven Rick, would have turned 80 today.

Crying here too. Just love his voice and sincerity.

What a master Lonnie was!!! It was an absolute honor to know and play with him! I miss him.🎶🎵

Just watched the movie Uncle Buck. He had a poster of Lonnie Brooks. So glad I looked him up. He's very different I love it.

oh my god, that was so beautiful and soaring -- and ugly and sad because of his health. And you know he's not gonna last much longer. This caused me to weep. And I hope Robbie Robertson saw this -- and even better his WIFE, who is an addictions specialist. Perhaps they could have lent a brother a helping hand." There's one video of him playing his last show the night before he died. He looked like this, but sounded great. I'm sorry. I wasn't even a big Band fan until recently, when II finally listened to the FIRST record all in one sitting. . Now, that's something else. But I heard their BIG hits way too much on FM radio, so I tuned them out. This is an old, sad story -- revived now in the documentary "Once Were Brothers", which basically tells Robbie's version but sheds more light on how much that concert meant to Robertson. It seemed like he was documenting his legacy more than deciding to call it quits. All the camera angles make sure he's in the frame as much as possible. Never cared for that concert. Dunno why, perhaps it was because Neil Young made a fool of himself with the coke booger as he crooned "Helpless.: (I saw Neil at a midnight show in Atlanta the night before the show. He was great, but wired. Apparently, he kept the party going all the way to the concert. And he showed up in the same clothes I'd seen him wear in Atlanta. (I once saw a black and white concert goer film the ENTIER 5 hour show....the sound isn't good -- they had to do retakes. It's boring. Then along comes movie magic and everybody looks great, especially the beaming Robbie. I wonder, was he so happy because the concert was a success or because he knew he was never gonna play with these junkies again. Yes, there are three sides to every story --I'm a recovery addict. I would not want to be in a band of three heroin addicts and a drunk either. But watching this, all that is forgotten. Robbie proclaimed to love Rick as you brother, always adding that he was an only child. The guy came with a narrative. No wonder the guy was a loner. These were the musicians who made his songs famous because Robbie's voice sucked, IMO. And I think about how Danko's wife lived her last years in some run down using home on SS. I'm 64. I disliked Robbie Robertson the second I saw him for the sit time on The Last Waltz. He never said a word, and grinned through the whole thing and played some killer guitar. Even then, I felt this movie was weird. I mean, why were they breaking up? It never really got answered, and I don't think the other three were coherent enough to realize they were being duped by Robbie both to free himself from the Band, and also start making movies with Martin Scorsese. Hey man, - go for it. But don't be an asshole and a rich cheapskate. Poor Rick. All he wanted to do was play music and make people happy. Such is fate -- and Jesus died for nothing, I suppose JMHO ....thanks!

painful to watch, but glorious to listen to...rick danko is sorely missed.
