Rick Danko - Blue River ( Live on Canadian TV )

[@tlcruze9977]

I love the guy on Rick's right playing a binder.

[@TorkG8]

Whenever I hear Rick Danko sing....it's like being wrapped in a warm blanket. It's the only way I can describe it!

[@jezebeljones659]

More of our Canadian heroes! Yay! And their superpower is, they're REAL. Humble people.

[@riffdigger2133]

I love his voice. In the study of hundreds of bands and solo artists over five and a half decades I am just discovering this melodic and unique stylist. Better late than never.

[@kevinokeeffe8089]

Yes Rick was a national treasure to Canada and the USA

[@bosox9017]

Just lovin' the sweet melodic and sometimes soulful voice of Rick. Thank God for this video from Canada. I am grateful to have found it. The video is great. It helps to keep hm and his wonderful songs alive and forever in our hearts.

[@waynedeadder664]

I used to see these guys in Toronto whenever Rick came to town. He was always so friendly and the shows were spectacular

[@foghorngoodhorn51]

Beautiful music. Gone way too soon... Rick and The Band live on forever.

[@globalboy65]

Pure soul and feellings in his voice. Miss you Rick.

[@kevinokeeffe8089]

Thanks for posting such a great version of this song...

[@rogerblankenship3235]

Rick is one of my favorites singers etc just so pure

[@michaelvkelly681]

His singing and playing style is so unique. you especially notice it when he is playing on his own. he just plucks and strums away and sings in a lazy laid back style like it comes so natural to him. love it.

[@craigsimon7658]

Great music Riick

[@sfbayareagirl]

Rick Danko is an absolute treasure. Thank you for posting this.

[@almanull3931]

Gone to soon, what a great singer, rip 😥😥😥😥😥

[@punkynsnow]

Nine people didn't like this?? Wow. It's a wonderful version and his voice was in fine form.

[@RnRSue]

They probably just don't like that I posted it, Jackie. There's some strange folks on the internet 😄

[@CharCanuck14]

Thanks for posting this Sue. Always good to see and hear Rick and wonderful to see my old bud Colin.

[@mikefroome3023]

the kind & welcoming voice of Danko

[@fustavglobber9036]

...even the false start is alright. What a performance.

[@traceyswanberg8796]

Rick Danko amazing, RIP also Levon Helm what a star

[@mjjames2442]

I dig that intro twice

[@tonyrotolo]

Definitely one of the best, he should never be forgotten, Happy birthday Rick!

[@suewarner1781]

Thank You!

[@cabindweller8454]

THE musician I wish all musicians were like. Soultoucher Rick Danko.

[@pjjanz]

Colin sounds great in this, wonderful harmony and he looks so happy!

[@ReedCheatham]

Love this song and version. Rick looks heathy here and in tune.

[@stewhooey1294]

Wow - great song and vocal.

[@janechapman6448]

Always comfortable and confident❤

[@bmarloman]

Love this version. Funny how the volume switch was off in the beginning. He handled it like a pro. RIP Rick Danko

[@InAWorldOfMakeBeliev]

Rick Danko What a singer!

[@fustavglobber9036]

Colin's a beast

[@johnnierotten5161]

Much happiness listening to this!!

[@palmereldritch7579]

Colin Linden. Little known outside Toronto but an amazing blues player

[@nygeronimo]

You coudn't be more wrong. Colin's well known world wide. He's been based in Nashville a long while & sought after as a session player & producer in the U.S & Canada for decades now.

[@davidtrout3331]

I miss the guy.

[@ynotttt]

Great video. Wish I could go back in time to see some of these great shows. Music isn't the same today. Or.........am I just a fossil from the past.

[@AlexChung2010]

this is danko. Richard Manuel was the keys player, but he did indeed have a real sad story as he battled depression throughout his life. He ended up taking his own life.. very tragic..

[@tredwmiche3442]

We saw Rick, Eric and Jonas in Allentown (Buffalo) on their East coast tour. Very cool

[@skumm1960]

I love finding stuff like this on KZbin...thanks for posting.

[@erniecf]

Unbelievable ❤

[@neageblues31]

Excellent.

[@2tycade]

I just recently discovered the talent of the members of the band and what a good bunch of people they were. Especially this guy, Richard. He seems to be a very good person. Someone I would have loved to jam with on guitars. It's sad the way the trouble he seemed to be having at the end. He had a great voice and could sing excellent harmony.

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Did you mean RIck. The Band had 2 members with similar names, who you see here is Rick Danko, the member was Richard Manuel, both had great voices, some like Richard's better, some Rick's. It is hard to compare, I personally love Rick's voice he is so soulful and sings with so much feeling, Levon was a good singer as well. Richard Manuel committed suicide in 1986 at age 43, Rick Danko died in 1999 at age 56 of natural causes.

[@meb2126]

Lovely! 💕Thanks for sharing!

[@WordslingingStephen]

First time hearing this-- reminds me of "Blind WIllie McTell"

[@davidvisoky7918]

Rick sounded great

[@toniaugusta]

Wow, that's exactly it. Well said.

[@neageblues31]

Very pretty song, real and raw...

[@swordfish52]

Thanks Sue ....

[@AnotherBlush]

Love Rick Danko

[@lordkoos]

Nice, thanks for posting.

[@mbjacobs]

God. Danko knows how to punch me right in the sentimentality.

[@michaelvkelly681]

Glad others hear it too!

[@DuneAquaViva]

A Great Tune by Eric Anderson which inspired my tune Gypsy River due to Garth Hudson's great accordion on Eric's tune, even more powerful on my Gypsy River as Garth did three or four tracks of accordion on it, as well as keys..

[@waynedeadder664]

Nice ad

[@rosemariemaldonado5886]

awesome

[@margaretmaskara9002]

Got to spend some time with Colin at a Danko show in Pawling Ny tears back. He had just visited White Plains NY the place where he grew up and was really excited about going back in time for a bit....He sang a song that night about "his baby and the telephone" cant find that song anywhere, anyone know if he ever recorded it?

[@robbiearamsay]

I know this has been sitting out here for a while but I'm curious who is the guy doing harmony and slide ??? Love this song

[@davidrobinson9507]

That's Colin Linden playing with him, right?

[@donaldzackson1765]

the mold was broke on danko

[@direwolf6234]

nice cover of eric anderson's early 70s tune ...

[@westgirl217]

What year was this? Gorgeous....

[@busenitzsucks]

Early to mid 90s Id guess

[@steroidolympics2012]

Whole guitar tuned down a whole step, for those playing along...

[@jackstarr4726]

Geez, Rick makes the song sound better than Eric Andersen...

[@avishy938]

Sounds ten times better than the Band
