[@brandonmclendon5368]

God, Richard’s voice was amazing.

[@wgb01001]

Would’ve been nice to see him sing.

[@tomgebarowski8156]

You know, it really is...his voice is almost unearthly, ethereal, out of this world. I would also describe it as aching or longing, which really makes his songs so emotional & deep sounding. His singing really stops you I'm Your tracks whatever you're doing, when he comes on. The Band & this singer in particular are hugely underrated in the annals of rock and pop music history.

[@brandonmclendon5368]

@@tomgebarowski8156 Yeah. You can hear the pain and pure emotion in his voice whenever he sang, especially in songs like She Knows, Country Boy, and I Shall Be Released. This makes all of his songs more sad, especially seeing how he died

[@tomgebarowski8156]

His singing is very soulful! That's the key word I'd use to describe it, good or bad, it's always soulful!

[@tomgebarowski8156]

King Harvest is an alltime classic as well.

[@JB-pr1jg]

We need the whole concert please!

[@smithscribe2900]

It wasn’t all filmed.

[@PhilipRawbon-rk8uv]

What!!..but we want more more more!!😊

[@el0blaino]

Top three track from the Band, I love this song so much! This performance - camerawork not the best - but redeemed by getting Robbie's hands for the solo!

[@johnvoyce]

It's over 50 years old and it sounds so fresh. I saw them in 1971, I think, at the Albert Hall. This takes me back to when great music was played by great musicians.

[@josephgonzalez4380]

Great show, I was there! It truly was cool. I only remember parts of it though, gotta admit…The Band, what a good group!

[@janechapman6448]

Richard's voice at prime and he still looked really well. Glad this exists. The Band ❤

[@wgb01001]

Finally a song with Richard on lead vocals… and they barely even show him. Damn. He was the best singer in the group and he always got the shrift when being filmed. They never put a camera on him.

[@joelsacks2919]

I was just going to add a comment saying pretty much the same thing when I saw yours.

[@leotrash32]

I believe that camera crew were not given some liners of who's signing on each song. But yeah, in this rare occasion you encountered a band with 3 lead singers (who sometimes share their duties at different times sometimes in a single song) and honestly I would get confused to film and follow that consistently lol. Hoping this (and Don't Do It) are not the only ones recorded on film that night and they get a re-release soon

[@markseifeddine8559]

What a disappointing video. Richard on camera for just a few seconds. A damn shame

[@ronbo11]

At least they did Robbie's guitar solo right. I don't know how many times cameras pull away when the lead guitar starts to pull out the stops!

[@samuelgeis3237]

Pardon me. If he was, as you say the best singer in the group, why wasn’t he singing lead on damn near every song like Robert Plant or Roger Daltrey.

[@waygonedon]

Robbie's solo at the end!

[@celestecampbell564]

So sweeeet!

[@philkennelty7715]

Great shot of Allen Toussaint watching the horn section playing his charts.

[@malbuff]

That horn section... !

[@celestecampbell564]

Can music get better than this? Richard's voice. Levon on the drums. Robbie's lead guitar....magic!

[@neilwhitaker6284]

Garth's organ!!!

[@andrewmair7371]

What a perfectly balanced Force of (Musical) Nature The BAND were… 🙌 Restraint, sound(!), harmony, soul & authenticity to burn! 🤷🏻 & probably an interesting & pretty fair example of how long a group/collective of exceptional artists can maintain a collaborative peak - 🥂💐

[@rogerlunde8668]

One of the gratest songs in Rock-music, ever!

[@annemartin4035]

There were a couple of comments made from individuals who were disappointed that Richard Manuel was not hardly seen in this video even though he sang lead. I did happen upon a video of King Harvest filmed at a jam session in Woodstock and Richard was definitely seen singing and playing. Video is called The Band-Jam and uploaded by promised land.

[@markheefner6527]

Im 45 in 2022 and these guys are by far my favorite band to listen. Love all the different instruments sounds these guys make together. Definitely something i got it from parents influence as a child.

[@DandyLion662a]

Thumbs up man. You weren't even born in their heyday so thanks for looking back.

[@josephsweeney8611]

Rock of Ages one of best live recording ever

[@markatr6]

so much talent in the room, and runnin' at their peak, just seeing it on film the vibe comes thru..!

[@mauricegoldner44]

a lot of people think of the band as some type of country rock hybrid, which some of it is, but they had some heavy r n' b grooves

[@JohnHaslam-nh8tn]

Agreed. To simply call it country rock completely sells them short. For instance what is "country" about The Shape I'm in, Chest Fever or Rag Mama. And what's rock about long black veil. Ask Taj about the Band; he says they're the only thing comparable, musically, to England's Fab 4. High praise, from a man who has seen a whole lot.

[@mauricegoldner44]

americana is such a stiff clinical term, i prefer roots rock

[@oriolquintana4637]

I stand amazed in the presence of The Band

[@MrAM4D3U5]

Corn in the fields Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water King Harvest has surely come I work for the union 'Cause she's so good to me And I'm bound to come out on top That's where she said I should be I will hear every word the boss may say For he's the one who hands me down my pay Looks like this time I'm gonna get to stay I'm a union man, now, all the way The smell of the leaves From the magnolia trees in the meadow King Harvest has surely come Dry summer Then comes fall Which I depend on most of all Hey, rainmaker, can't you hear the call? Please let these crops grow tall Long enough I've been up on Skid Row And it's plain to see, I've nothing to show I'm glad to pay those union dues Just don't judge me by my shoes Scarecrow and a yellow moon And pretty soon a carnival on the edge of town King Harvest has surely come Last year, this time, wasn't no joke My whole barn went up in smoke Our horse Jethro Well he went mad And I can't ever remember things bein' that bad Then here come a man with a paper and a pen Tellin' us our hard times are about to end And then, if they don't give us what we like He said, "men, that's when you gotta go on strike" Corn in the fields Listen to the rice when the wind blows 'cross the water King Harvest has surely come

[@girltograndma]

70 year old grandma still loves the Band!

[@waltzie88]

It simply does not get any better. Perfection.

[@tomlehr861]

Every one of them was a piece of the puzzle, unique

[@tamarashadle5977]

💫☄️❤️OBSESSED❤️☄️💫 Like seriously, my 6 month old kitten is named Levon & he falls asleep to The Last Waltz regularly 😆😍😉 I follow tributes to The Band around the country like most people follow The Dead!!! This recording is AMAZING, I'm now on a mission to find it in it's entirety. 💕THANK YOU 💕 ☮️ 🏕️ 💟 🌘 ✨ 🌒 🕊️ ❤️ 🏕️

[@rinalore]

🏆Great song/performance down💭memory🎶music lane.🥁Levon's enjoying the singing break it seems.👏🏻They all sing💪🏻great in different ways. 🌹Thanks for sharing. 🇨🇦✌🏻🎶♥️✨🌎✌🏻

[@ollyclam]

Footage of the band I’ve not seen 1000 times! A rare treat, thank you

[@brotzmannsax]

Richard still sounded real strong here and those horns sure are a sweet touch. The Band second album is a 5 star classic I hope they play at my funeral.

[@frogface66]

Robbie’s solo smokes.

[@jacobstanger3659]

These are the best quality videos of The band

[@drdrew3]

You’ve never seen The Last Waltz? It’s pristine

[@hamburgerdan101]

@@drdrew3 this would be better if it had richard singing in it more

[@Guidotoons101]

I spy the great Allen Toussaint sitting behind the horn section. He did the horn arrangements here!

[@mikegalante6909]

the talent shines through like a supernova. Richard near his best - the other 4 were so good they covered for him superbly on the last tour together!!

[@BlackCatWhiteFace]

Fly High Richard! Beautiful man and voice.

One of my all time favorites god Richard you are missed brother that and the one and only levon helm 💚💯💯💯

[@JeffreySykes]

I hadn't noticed Danko going fretless before.

[@neilwhitaker6284]

he played it a lot on the first two albums I believe. Its an Ampeg I think. I can be a nerd about this stuff :) think he played a Gibson SG a lot around that time too.

[@tomst.antoine7742]

Great video.....Keep them coming....

[@kettymartire7660]

Ma quanto siete braviiiii🧹❤️❤️❤️

[@lorenzozambelli1727]

The entire concert is amazing, but this track in my opinion is the best performance EVER!

[@EatAPeach72]

Hurts my soul these boys have moved on

[@sbobo4437]

My fav song❤

[@johncopeland3826]

The finest musician ever, of the Rock era ,Mr Garth Hudson , must have been getting his beard trimmed or something. as the camera person omitted him altogether! To be fair the camera work is not too clever,but to miss out Garth is tantamount to treason! Jeezo!

[@hiterss]

Give us moreeeee!

[@neilwhitaker6284]

I can hear Garth playing but I never see him!!!!

This song came 50 years earlier - ubelieavable

Their masterpiece.

So much amazing things in one song and then Robbie reminds you he kills on guitar.

Does Robbie have a fingerpick on his middle finger?

Yeah he does. He used finger pinks frequently

[@laurentjustin8701]

All I want to see is The Rumor in live

[@christopherjones1649]

I always thought that was Rick Danko singing that one. Now, I know.

[@marianosalomon5361]

[@thetruthfornow6045]

This was their best music live. They kept it faithful to the studio recordings and their voices still were strong. By the Last Waltz they still had the energy the sound was a little sloppy and the voices showed their age except Levon.

[@smokinjoe45]

band was awesome and the camerman was high or drunk. Holy shit, he missed almost all of Richards lead vocal. Fuck!!

[@cayenneman08]

"Was Richard still in the band"" during this??? 🤣Obscure joke!

[@cayenneman08]

@@jazzfan67 You know where Im coming from bro!!!

[@waynemoores]

Sad that drugs tour this band apart too early.

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

Richard looks great compared to the Last Waltz. Sounds better too. Rick looks near death here. Heroin and egos ruined this band

[@drdrew3]

Levon, Danko and Hudson went on for 20+ years after Robbie split and another 13 after Manuel passed. During that time they toured incessantly and made music every bit as good as this video. Even after throat cancer Levon hosted rambles at his home until the bitter end. The content produced by the original lineup was certainly impressive but they demise of the original band was only the BEGINNING of an amazing musical journey.

[@thomasminarchickjr.7355]

@@drdrew3 it was over after they split, especially after Richard took his life. The made 3 albums with almost no original material. For a group that claims to have co-written so many songs, they sure didn’t come up with original material when he was gone. Robbie is an egotistical guy, but without him and Richard, it wasn’t the Band

[@davidbmilton524]

Rick looks real bad for sure, but at this time I believe he was recovering from a serious car crash. But he's hitting all the right notes on fretless bass.

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Rick seems to have many different looks. I'm a woman of that generation, I have always loved THe Band. I thought RIck was very good looking in The Last Waltz, also in some video's from the mid eigthies where he is on tour with The Band, sans Robbie. When he had a beard he didn't look quite as good, just my opinion, same for Robbie, who was so gorgeous when he was young. In the video from Woodstock Rick looks good too.@@davidbmilton524

yea noticed that too :(
