Dr John - The Last Waltz - Such A Night - LIVE 1976

[@datadude67]

I discovered Dr John after I visited New Orleans, and I thought he was a pretty good pianist. I was very wrong. He is a LEGEND!

[@JosephLance-x9q]

I was 20 when this was filmed, to all the young folk out there ,,,, well I can’t explain the seventies,,, but if you were there,,, no explanation needed

[@irvy78]

I'm1978 and I get told all the time. I grew up in the wrong decade as by the time I was making my own choices, it was the 90s, and music aint been anywere near as kl ,since the 70s in my humble opinion

[@bereaantaki8230]

for those us who were not there.. pls explain lol

[@phyllisiervello]

No one was like Dr. John. I am privileged to have known him.

[@taylormade410]

Yes, one of a kind - a privilege just to hear him play!!

Oh baby! No one can replace the sweet Dr. John. Always joyous. Sweet, sweet voice. I loved him. Unforgettable. So much fun! Talent galore. RIP!

[@vbelli57]

he had the Band smiling and the Band hardly EVER smiled

[@STSGuitar16]

Man, that voice is just indescribably good for this music. What a legendary, once-every-generation musician he is. He doesn't get the respect that he really deserves, in my opinion. Like, it is insane that I had never even heard of this master NOLA musician, Dr. John, until years and years later, and I actually do know a helluva lot of music from that era. I'm a younger fella (23), and I am just so glad to have discovered this amazing work by an amazing musician. Truly in a class of his own.

He's my generation and everything you say is spot on. I love that you like him! One in a million and one of the greatest bands ever backing him up..

[@susanbuckner5335]

[@phyllisiervello]

You said it right and I am nobody but was privileged to have known him, seen him. He was a party waiting to happen. I am happy that his music remains forever and he is finally getting the recognition for what he deserves

[@jensy2289]

I think this is my favorite of the entire show. 💫💥

[@TheFreedutch2008]

Well night they drove old dixy down comes close

[@icerunner]

I swear, he could sing those lyrics on the beat, behind the beat, ahead of the beat or 3 weeks after the song had ended and they would still be buttery! Glad I got to see him perform live.

[@kathywarrick2084]

Missed my chance! Sure would've loved to! RIP. 🌹💖💖

[@jappychap2003]

Yeah, it's easy actually. Well, that's how he makes it look.

[@sallyvesey753]

Love Dr. John and love the Band, miss them so

[@joelwexler]

I'm speechless. Have played this a 1000 times over the last 48 years.

[@daisyduck5428]

He talks exactly how he sings, one of the greats

[@martinpickard6043]

My favourite version of this track This live version is so good. Better than the studio/album version.

[@r.p.8906]

when he says " night" I go wild!!!!!!!! The way he sings it makes me so happy!!!!

[@junbo7754]

Amazing! What a vocal! What a piano!

[@jupiterlegrand4817]

Dr. John even WALKED like he was in a Mardi Gras parade. RIP.

[@helendropinski3754]

❤❤❤Dr. John! One of the best singing voices and talent.

[@janemalickalden]

Such an amazing performance and it does my heart good to watch Robbie Robertson joyfully sing,"If I don't do i t I know somebody else will."

[@johnbuaas9216]

What a marvelous, effortless performance.

[@scottphillips7368]

I recently finished the Levon Helm biography and he said it ironic Dr. Jon chose this song because he was actually becoming involved with Levons then wife Libby due to them going through problems. A year later or so Dr Jon and Libby married I believe or at least became a couple. Levon held no grudge or ill feelings and gave them his blessing. Still love this song. Speaks to me and a few situations in life that were similar. One I wish I could take back and one that brought me and my fiance together. Sorry but if I don't do it, somebody else will.

[@johannabeasley2031]

What a performer a genius.....we have lost so many great musicians

[@wysiwyg2489]

He is not lost a single bit as long as you listen to his music.

[@johnking8888]

Pure magic and joy. Sadly we’re moving further and further away from where this came from. Hopefully it will cycle around again.

[@BluesPianoSheets]

I hope you're right John, a lot of rubbish on the air-waves these days

[@johnking8888]

@@BluesPianoSheets I hoping but in so many ways we are so far away from this. The bluegrass revival gives me hope for other roots genres. There’s nothing like it and nothing better. It transcends and brings joy and communion and that’s more of what we desperately need.

[@shanjayaweera3036]

more people need to play the piano - that's the key

[@GMBogart]

After the performance Robbie summed it up: The Doctor. Nuff said. He brought joy and we need more of that today!

[@user-fy7xq1rf5m]

I had the pleasure of meeting the Doctor at an MMTP where I was counselor. An amazing thrill to meet a New Orleans legend!

[@thefilmandmusic]

Love that piano …..

[@leanidis300]

Dr, John the night tripper was the real deal. He brought the hoodoo on to the scene back in the day. RIP Brother!

[@rickdenson9174]

His Gumbo Album is Quintessential New Orleans. I know the Drummer on it Freddie Staehle . He told me Jerry Wexler heard them live and went Nuts trying to get a record done. The rest is history.

[@stevenrolston6696]

A splendid musical moment. Joyful.

She said: he smelled her scent on his fingers. Naughty girl. Brings back memories of college frat parties 😂

[@suzywalsh7906]

I still get goosebumps when I watch this. I got to see him perform live in the 70’s and it was awesome. He came out with a bag of glitter and threw it into the air. It took quite a few washings to get it out of my hair.😁❤️

Sadly for the film (which I love btw) his performance is edited and there is a cut just before the end. A great performance, and a great film, of a great band.

[@catdaddy3302]

Notice how he walked past Robbie to shake Levon’s hand. 🙀🙀

Maybe he was apologising for stealing Levon's wife...if he didn't do it, somebody else will.
