Mystery Train - The Band w/ Paul Butterfield - The Last Waltz

[@stephenchipkin274]

RIP Garth Hudson. Until yesterday I believe he was the last survivor of all those on the stage here. He (they) might be gone, but their music will last forever.

[@yru435]

Amen, brother.

[@Nhamp2000]

I consider myself to be pretty well rounded when it comes to music, especially when I was younger and Classic Rock became a serious format. It introduced me to all sorts if great music. So how is it I knew every artist in this movie but never heard of Paul Butterfield? What a performance.

[@peterwalsh5068]

Mr Butterfield man. No one played the harp like this geezer xxxx

[@bertkilborne6464]

Some guys would say Butterfield's good for a white dude... Shuddup !!! He's F'in PHENOMENAL ! ! 'Good for a white guy '. would be Siegal / Schwall Remember them ? John Popper doesn't make the list

[@johncopeland3826]

Listen to Robbie's unbelievable rhythm guitar all through this song ! Quite magical .

[@lewisfolkner7516]

Robbie was just a master, in such a chill way. Just listen to the track were Clapton loses his strap, and try to pick out the moment were Robbie steps in to keep things rolling, without looking at the video. It's hard to even hear the break in the music unless you're watching it happen.

Saw Paul Butterfield play with former Rolling Stones guitarist Mick Taylor in January 1987.

[@lvlimo394]

In the midst of Butterfield's blazing harmonica and Levon's great vocal, Robbie's blistering performance throughout is almost overlooked. Almost.

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Can't overlook Robbie, his stage presenc and charisma makes it impossible.

[@tattyshoesshigure5731]

The best version of this great song I’ve ever heard… just amazing! Paul Butterfield’s harmonica playing is phenomenal, so nice to see that broad grin Levon flashes him… like “yeah… I’m really digging this man!”

[@kennethcurtis1856]

Must not of heard James Burton on lead guitar.

Levon is amazing. He is "in the zone" with this song!

[@markbosch2495]

He is the fire, I had the pleasure to validate that fact!

[@chriscosby2459]

The Band brings out the best in everyone.

[@fan5407]

I've listened to a lot of different music since coming across the band, and one thing that always impresses me when I come back to their stuff is how creative Garth Hudson is. Both his choice of notes + the sounds he conjured from his various keyboards. A tremendous musician. One of a kind. Also, Paul Butterfield was a great harmonica player. The sound he gets from using circular-breathing on "Mannish Boy" at this concert is similar to what Garth is doing here on the clavinet: He's in the background, providing a colorful, ever-evolving texture beneath the other instruments. Ties it all together.

RIP Garth

[@fblauer]

So many highlights to a great concert.

[@markbosch2495]

Wow, just wow! I’ve always wanted to say that! Butterfield just knocked all the fucking pins down in my head. Holy macadamia!

[@tomstack5285]

Garth is amazing! That jews harp sound is great!

[@emospiderbutton]

What a tune

[@jpwpearson]

Beautiful

[@salspataro9389]

AWESOME!

[@joanschooley5160]

Great bits from old Garth on the organ, and I believe Richard is on the second drum kit.

[@justaaccount8738]

Richard can be seen at 3:29

[@hmsljj]

Now that was tasty. Thanks for posting.

[@jryan2313]

Spectacular

[@Sid-np3hf]

Damn there was a backing drummer on the last waltz!

[@gjazzy3072]

As the song starts, the lights are turning low. Only Butterfield is on the spot light. Is this intentional or accidental? Anyway, I like this moment.

[@justaaccount8738]

Scorsese and Robertson had planned where the spotlight would go in each song, which is why there are songs, like Stage Fright or Mystery Train, where only one person is in the spotlight.

[@gjazzy3072]

thanks. what a good direction by the two!

[@jamesmccarthy5086]

@@justaaccount8738 I just saw a thing where Robertson had said it was cause the crew had blown a circuit. But it worked

[@jamesmccarthy5086]

Wish I could’ve seen more of Richard drumming. He played the drums the most unique way. Weren’t the lights shutting off on accident because of a malfunction?

[@justaaccount8738]

In the '74 Wembley concert video you can see Richard clearly and also hear his drums

[@jamesmccarthy5086]

@@justaaccount8738 I always enjoy seeing him play them. It sounded amazing too. On KZbin here there’s some videos with their concerts form the 80’s and I always love watching his drumming

[@justaaccount8738]

@@justaaccount8738 I’ll definitely check it out. Thank you

[@henryedwards6408]

The short answer is Yes. They lost the power feed to the stage lighting system for a short period of time so it’s only ( Super Trouper) spotlights. I think the Muddy Waters songs were also only with spotlights.

[@bitaud31]

Un grand merci à l’immense M.Martin Scorsese

Where is that BIG DEAL We want to jump in too

[@jeffhockett2985]

Make no mistake.....while I love Ricky, Levon IS The Band!

[@nicholaselfrink7717]

If only Jim Morrison was alive for this one night to perform Mystery Train, it would’ve been phenomenal. Maybe even to see him perform with the others, that would’ve been nice

[@seanrooks5655]

[@janbounds911]

Shows you have no idea what a privilege it was for you to see and hear this performance. THIS was EPIC! Paul was one of the most incredible harp players ever. The stunning power behind every note is just literally breathtaking. Professional harp players know the dif. Harp players listen to Paul to learn how to play better. While his stage presence was solid, his poetry chops unmistakable, NOBODY listens to Jim to learn how to play harp better.

[@nicholaselfrink7717]

@@janbounds911 it is a privilege that we do have this on footage, especially having the people for the event. It just would’ve been nice to hear ole Jimbo sing along to this, since he loved playing this at his concerts till his last one. But yeah, it’s a great concert with fantastic performances and wonderful people.

[@zenzen1916]

I think Morrison was overrated...also a real dic.
