Most underrated Christmas song

[@writer125]

Her father's daughter. Thank you Amy for continuing your father's legacy. Miss your father & the Band.

[@TheGeonam]

Merry Christmas to America and the world. More radio stations should play this song each year before Christmas. It would catch a lot of empty souls to pay attention to the message. Whether you believe in Christmas or not this song can catch one pay attention to the words maybe for the first time.

[@dogparticle8409]

Daddy would be proud. Merry Christmas, 2019

[@tonybarnett1158]

Been homeless awhile. Been listening to Amy and Levon tonight. They lift me up because they were always regular people. I'll go to the Christmas community center dinner in Woodstock before embarking on one final spirit journey. Lift me up.

[@dogparticle8409]

I would cook you dinner. I hope you find some comfort and peace. Merry Christmas

[@tonybarnett1158]

@@dogparticle8409 I always have peace and comfort. A raw trip into the Adirondacks is the last piece I need to renew my spirit.

[@dancullihall6834]

Merry Christmas be safe

You were Comment 69! Things will come around!

[@magnusjoelsson4089]

This makes me cry every time I listen to it

[@vickibardsley1023]

Absolutely beautiful! Levon would be so proud of them!

[@rickwilliams5524]

been a band and levon fan for 50 years, can't believe I just heard this song for 1st time this year

[@stephengaydos4346]

Rick Danko sings lead on the The Band's version.

[@jeffdziak6455]

Robbie wrote it..

[@marcfortier6632]

I love Amy's voice and this is a beautiful rendition, but nothing can beat the soulful, plaintive quality of Rick Danko's voice. He was born to sing this song.

[@michaelwattie489]

Effin' brilliant, great cover of a great christmas song

[@didiwongo]

Most meaningful Christmas song ever.

[@chrisgee8023]

Hands down the best Christmas song and version ever. I can listen to this endlessly. Merry Christmas!

[@simonblack358]

Each time I listen and watch your video I am transformed by your authentic inclusiveness. Your performance is a special moment, validating love, life and the inspirational power of collective trust.

[@kathy4604]

Great job... my favorite song for 40 yrs.

[@MaryGerdt]

[@ArchStantonify]

Merry Christmas to come 🎄🎄

[@Tonetwisters]

[@TheGeonam]

@@Tonetwisters I'm listening in Dec. 2021 and Joe Biden has F..ked everything up

[@kayleekittredge4035]

I’m listening Sept ‘23 and it reminds me of my Grampy I lost Christmas time last year, when I 1st discovered this song and listening tonight brought me right back there to that time. And reminded me how much I loved that man and how much I miss him. I just cried like a baby.

[@richardnotman787]

Just about made Mr cry. Thank you.

[@tinbuzz8836]

I love the band and your father has been and will always be a source of inspiration for me. I love you family Helm . Tin from San Benedetto del Tronto. (Italy)

Christmas in March 2019 ... March 26, to be perzack. THIS is just so good. This is the perfect group, perfectly matched to this perfect song. And how did all you guys keep from just grabbing Amy Helm and hugging the life out of her? Good grief.

[@johnnycanz]

I was at this show, maybe 3rd row, so....Yeah. It was special then. Still is. Little bit of magic in the barn!

[@Tonetwisters]

Blessed you!!

Great band tune.

[@carolmccannon4118]

I like The Band's version, but I LOVE Amy Helm's version. Soulful.

[@catfan5439]

the "thumbs down trolls" need to go home and play their fav justin bieber songs ..just saying

[@jenjen7728]

cat fan54 LOL!!

[@tagelauridsen947]

As far as I know, this is a very personal Robbie-song, celebrating the birth of his son. Maybe the "thumbdown trolls" are just wondering why that song is performed in Levon´s studio, since Levon spent the last 35 years of his life profoundly hating Robbie? Don´t get me wrong, though, I do NOT take side in that sad feud, I simply love and respect all five of the guys and bless them for all those great songs. And this one is great, too. So, no thumb down from me, only - thank you Amy and the rest of you for making this beautiful version yet another great BAND-song.

[@ExodusPessoa]

Ha Ha Ha Well Said Ha Ha Ha I just love your comment!!!

[@ExodusPessoa]

This is fucking good music.

[@vrrnonorem4266]

Dont give them any voice. Dont recognize them. No quarter.

[@ArchStantonify]

I'm there now ☺

[@willypotts100]

"...lovely"♫

[@Tonetwisters]

Drums could have been mixed back a bit, if possible -- just my opinion, of course. But gee, this is SO good. LIVE music this is ... And the subject matter doesn't get any better than this. Wow. This is wonderful.

[@christopheretzwiler5635]

I love this song I believe Leon got saved before he passed away I don't know if he is still alive or not!?and agree with the one person that said people that gave thumbs down, they need to listen to their Taylor swift garbage where half of these wannabes have to use autotune because they absolutely cannot sing so go somewhere and learn how to sing!!!!😠

[@markbailey8674]

Levon is smiling down....

[@ArchStantonify]

I'm just going to watch Scrooge, the Albert Finney version and I'm there ha

[@leesher1845]

Love, love, love that version, Derek.

[@vonhayes6391]

This song was written for Billy Baranowski!!! The real chorus before it was changed went " son of an engineer Patti carried the torch

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Robbie Robertson wrote the song for his son who had been born 6 months earlier. Robbie's third child and only son.

[@davidmcclaskey342]

Someone boost the mic of the small guitar player ! :D

[@soffietto1]

Una gran bella versione oserei dire quasi meglio dell'originale

[@shukongohjin]

リヴォンの娘さんですか。

[@dennisryan6370]

Levon's daughter...

[@rob8872]

Three people named. At least 5 unnamed on this song.

[@TT-zi7hi]

sounds good but the tambourine is ruining it or me. he should have used a shaker to do what he's doing...

[@paulmccarthy8345]

Haha, key of D......are you serious?!!

Totally orthodox rendering of Jesus's birth and the gospel implications of it.
