Robbie Robertson was a true original artisan . He never copied anyone ! His whole body of work throughout his career stands up with the very best of them . He never bad mouthed or disrespected anyone . It was always love and gratitude for other people's talents and achievements . We will never see his like again in the music world . RIP Robbie ,you were the coolest guy in Rock and Roll ...EVER !

Such grief his passing is causing me. His muse took special care with Robbie Robertson. All us lifelong listeners benefitted beyond measure.

[@jamesbradshaw3389]

Yes, It is Very Sad that the great one has left us but is great that Robbie has gone straight up to Heaven and is having a brilliant time with his former band lads, his parents, family and friends who went ahead of him, Good on you for writing this true tribute to the very great Robbie Robertson, what a Man Robbie was and what a brilliant band the Band were

[@andresabbagh5819]

I love Robbie too but I beg to differ on the bad mouthing part......not only did he do it but he made a habit of it over decades.....well documented stuff.... many times he openly called Levon, Rick and Richard irresponsible and lazy....it might be true, it might not but saying it IS bad mouthing important , rock and roll talents...especially close ones.

It's very sad how much resentment Levon Helm had for Robbie Robertson - taking it all the way to his grave. Robbie has never said a bad word about Levon through all those years - only recalling him with respect and affection. The saddest part is that almost all the big hits written by Robbie were inspired by Levon Helm.

[@edkeen9378]

I love both of them 😢

[@geetpicker]

You do realize that Robbie totally screwed over levon and the rest of the band with that whole last waltz bs, don't you? Robbie financially ripped off the rest of the band.

[@sammyseagull]

theyre dead! give it a rest ffs!!!@@geetpicker

[@kevingrady8736]

@@geetpicker Do you really believe Levon and the others would keep working with the guy if he kept ripping them off every time they record music ? Levon got arranging mixed up with writing.

[@LudiCrust.]

No matter what people say to paint Robbie in a good light he completely screwed the Band over. He waited until Levon left town then used a couple high powered attorneys Martin Scorsese gave him to trick the rest of the Band into signing over their entire shares & any future earnings over to Robbie. Robbie then withheld all the revenue even from Levon until Levon sued him several years later. Somehow Robbie & the attorneys finagled the Last Waltz contracts so only he made money off of it despite it happening while the rest of the Band still had ownership stakes & Levon never got paid despite keeping his share. Robbie resented the rest of them not putting their fair share of work into it & also their substance abuse issues so he robbed them while they were all drunk and/or high. I’ll always love the man but what he did to them was foul. There’s proof of everything said here. Why other famous musicians that were friends of all theirs have stayed quiet I’ll never know -maybe it had to do with Robbie’s immense power in the music & movie businesses I don’t know but CSNY, the Allman Bros Band & the Dead are the only musicians I ever heard talk about Robbie negatively for it. It’s gotta be something like that bc it doesn’t make sense. The only band that ever tried to help the rest of them out was the Grateful Dead who split profits from the tours the Band opened for them in.

Rest in Peace Robbie. A true original, he loved the music of the South, the roots of Rock & Roll. Brought to Toronto ears first by powerful Radio Stations out of Nashville and other Southern Stations as well as Buffalo New York, and then brought live up here by Ronnie Hawkins and Levon Helm. He took that sound and expanded it to create some wonderful music , along with the rest of the Band. A soulful musician and a truly classy guy. You never hear him say a bad word about the people he knew and loved. And a proud Native Canadian and proud of his Jewish roots as well. I for one will sorely miss you. Rick from Toronto.

[@SuperC888]

Well said, Rick! Well said

[@hapax87]

I believe Garth Hudson is still alive, if so, he is the last remaining member of The Band. Their music brought so much wonder and enjoyment into out lives . RIP Robbie !!

[@peterpedersen1641]

RIP Robbie.... I see he is playing his bronze dipped Stratocaster from 1976! The last time, more than likely, that guitar was played live. I was a fan of The Band from the start. But when I went to Watkins Glen Concert in 1973 I made it to the stage while Bob Dylan was playiing with the guys and I was in awe. I had just turned 18. I had been playing guitar for a couple of years, 3 chord tunes. Which all Dylan's tunes are based on. But The Band Tunes, meaning Robbie's tunes, were more complicated for me to learn. Now, 50 years later, I know these tunes like the back of my hand, got to meet Robbie a couple of times in NYC, and also got to know the other guys through the late 90's through other friends and also the guys who came later to play with Levon Helm Band... All those guys. Everyone is amazing. And Robbie was the guy who started it all. Thanks for posting Lieke!

[@NilsFerry]

Wow, he's playing the bronzed guitar from the Thanksgiving 1976 Last Waltz concert. RIP to a Rock Legend and proud Native American.

[@hallmarston876]

It doesn't diminish one whit Robbie's legacy to highlight that his best work was a member of a talented ensemble. Thanks to Nelson for the tribute to Manuel's lead on the original. Robbie during the Band era (as distinguished from his work with Dylan) was so original that in an era of majestic guitarists, his playing was as distinctive and instantly recognizable as anyone, save possibly for BB. And saying that you rank with BB is one hell of a compliment.

Robbie said "See you on the other side".
