Most bands are lucky to have one decent lead vocalist. The Band were blessed with three outstanding vocalists. There will never be another group like them again.

I have great memories of seeing this band in Japan back in 1988 or 89. One thing though -- I don't see Garth Hudson anywhere here. That's Billy Preston on organ and Dr John on piano.

I started to listen to a rendition of The Weight put out by the folks at 'Playing For Change' whose work I normally really admire and enjoy, interestingly enough, I couldn't listen to their rendition of The Weight as recorded on the Bands album, Big Pink. It is just one of those tunes that the only way one can enjoy it is if it's the original, very telling, perhaps that's what makes a masterpiece.

This is so hard to listen to. You can hear how close Rick is to crying. And as the bassist of one of the greatest rhythm sections of all time, I think him struggling to keep the rhythm says a lot about how crushed he was about Richard's death. This was such a beautiful tribute to a lovely man and musician who left this earth way too early.

If you listen to Richard singing "The Shape I'm in" and then to Rick singing "It makes no difference" you will hear that their voices are different. However, singing this sing Rick sounds different, probably because he was all broken up. As far as I'm concerned whatever Rick sings is special.

a very very sad story.....the Band did Canada proud in particular s/w Ontario from whence Rick and Richard and Robbie and Garth were from and fate intervened somehow and Ronnie Hawkins along with Levon completed the puzzle....music from the 60`s and 70`s and 80`s will never rise up again the way it once did.....

I used to see "the old timers" drinking coffee and smoking cigarettes out front of the General Store in Woodstock.. Had no idea "the old timers" were Levon and members of "the band". Think it was Levon would hold the door for me as i humped the hand truck up the stairs delivering "Big IndianWater".. I saw what seemed like a funeral precession. It was the memorial servise that day for Richard. Sad day it was...

The Band holds such a special place in my heart and I loved the playfulness and humility with which they came across. They were great to see live and I will .sure miss them all. Garth Hudson is the only one left living. In the early years Garth, who was classically trained, actually tutored his band mates

This song became a silent partner to me from when I first heard it on 'Music from Big Pink' in 1968, Richard's plaintive voice tugging at my heart, like some forgotten child at its parent's clothes. Then during my incarceration in Brixton prison for stowing away from South Africa to England, merely 4 days before my 21st birthday, 15 November, 1969 while awaiting repatriation, it became a form of salvation for my sanity. Now here I sit, shortly before my 75th birthday, in my home in Durban SA, with the sad comfort of this masterpiece transporting me to a thousand memories, all held together by the strains of a tribute by a brother to the man who steeped us in its comfort while trying to dispel his own loss & sadness ❤

I feel what you mean I guess. Some say this was a too simple song from Dylan. But who on earth never felt the killing feeling of emprisonment and the longing for freedom. This applies to all of us & could be sung in any church mass, or in a mosque or a desert.

Garth I'm sure is feeling lost and so was everyone else . It's hard for me to say this since as close as I ever got to the band was their music so all I've ever read , listened , or heard someone who actually knew them which many of the people I honestly thought knew what they were talking about since the stage and light jobs I worked was with a few people that where their training rodies so yea I got some insights on the Band Members and it was taken very hard by all members of the tight knit group and it simply reverberated thru all and questioners didn't have much sympathy for any of their private lives . As I read these comments other than the original comment by johnnycardboard was a sincere comment which a lot of your replies where way outta line , I mean read the comment and dont reply with such negativity i mean come on guys damn use that thing above your shoulders for something else other than rin & stimpy's cartoons and take a break since I don't know of one negative comment that has ever been givin about The Band just simply try to be human every now & then . Peace be with you all and anyone who comes here for the music and may everyone you hold close have peace in their lives as well !!!
