[@DonSpry]

htsspaul Not Ophelia ... W.S. Walcott Medicine Show.

[@Tim.Pierce]

setlist is wrong.. They did not perform Ophelia and Twilight at this show.. Here are the correct songs in their order: Caledonia Remedy Crazy Mama W.S. Walcott Medicine Show Stuff You gotta Watch Blind Willie Mctell It Makes No Difference Rag Mama Rag Atlantic City The Weight Don't Do It Blues Stay Away From Me The Shape Im In

[@smwrbd]

Glad to see " the shape I'm in", as the closing song.

[@froter1]

Tim Pierce thank you ! Exactly.. it makes no difference is a beautiful piece of music and Rick owns it ... always has

[@greglarry11]

After "Blind Willie McTell" the song is "It Makes No Difference."

[@IHIKML]

And... I saw Danko, Fjeld and Anderson a year or so after the Band gig, and when the band left the stage Danko had to pass me. When he passed I asked him to sign his first solo CD (the one you har snippets of in The Last Waltz). He first said "Meet me backstage a little later...", but then he saw what CD I had and said "Oh, you got that one? Wow! Here, hold my guitar"! Soooo.... I got to hold his acoustic guitar while he signed the CD, and I praised him for his work both with The Band and solo!

[@billm.819]

Rick was very kind to his fans. Met him a few times and he was always appreciative. I saw someone ask him for an autograph once and he laughed saying he was glad to because it beat being a butcher!

[@walterkoch2815]

There will never be a band again that plays like such a single, breathing organism

[@kevincraig8257]

Rick is my favorite and I love all of them they have been super bands together for years like Traveling Wilburys and Cream and so on but these guys were the genuine super band I've recorded the last waltz watch at least 2 times a week well just felt like saying something

[@kennewton6626]

I saw Danko solo, in ‘87 or so at Christene’s in Dennis, MA. Hate to say, the performance wasn’t great…I brought my Big Pink album with me, asked him if he’d sign it. His eyes grew wide…”Man I haven’t seen THAT in a long time!”. He took a long look at the inside cover, pointing people out to me…”There’s my mom, bless her soul…there’s my dad, bless his soul…”there’s Robbie Robertson’s mom”…he went on and on. He signed it…an unforgettable moment.

[@cravinbob]

Rick was the nicest guy I ever met. We became friends but I think he was friends with everyone! Miss him.

[@user-kw5pk7ve3n]

I was 17 when I hitchhiked to Torontos' York Stadium. I'd never heard of the band before that Day but they stole the show and my heart as well.Rick Danko singing it makes no difference still brings tears to my eyes 60 years later

[@WilliamBrown-pg8on]

Is anyone else super impressed by Levon singing, playing mandolin, and rocking the kick and high hat?

[@zothyrianv4990]

Yes! And he starts thumping on the Bass on Crazy Mama!!! Unbelievable!!

[@mysteriousplankton]

Always have been. He's a marvel.

[@suefrench8721]

I'd say that Levon Helm is a musical wonder and it was a sad day when he died.

[@jonathanwebb3024]

Yes

[@traceyswanberg9340]

Yes Levon is a genuis.

[@bigbow62]

Levon Helm always the Koolest Kat on any stage ✌😎 ( R.I.P - Levon ) On Walcott Medicine Show..... Levon & Rick really complement each other & sometimes it's like they are just one amazing voice✌😎 Could watch & listen to them play all day !

[@kapickleball]

I'm a late convert to The Band but like most of the people commenting here, I'm just blown away at their greatness. I recently watched "The Last Waltz" for the first time and from that moment on I fell in love with the Band. These guys are what rock n roll is all about. I can honestly say there will never be anything close to them. They wear their heart and soul on their sleeves. RIP Levon, Rick and Richard you are all truly missed.

[@carolschoeman8423]

Ditto Kenneth to everything you said! Late convert myself….the brilliance and pure rock and roll!

[@stephenblair8938]

Took me several years to get on board - "Life is a Carnival" and the "Cahoots" LP changed all that - September 1971..

[@pizzamatica]

Well done; now it's time to watch "The R&R Circus" with RS, The Who and others

[@waynej2608]

[@robertbruce6865]

When I was a Senior in high school, I got home one day in 1984 and noticed a brown labeled CD on my dad’s player. It was simply titled The Band. Turned it over to look at the songs, and I noticed that The Night They Drove Ol Dixie Down was on it. Vaguely recalled hearing it as a little boy (and I realized later that it was the Joan Baez version that I remembered), so I put it on. Blown away, I started at the beginning. By the time that King Harvest faded out, I was hooked. I had never heard an entire album where ALL of the songs were at least very good. Dad gets home from work. I mentioned that I had played that Greatest Hits album that was on his CD player (I assumed that it was due to the excellence of the music, combined with the simple title of the album). He laughed and pointed out that it WASN’T a greatest hits comp, but their second album. I’ve been in love with their music since.

[@williamadamsmusic3025]

I have 2 favorite bands, THE BEATLES and THE BAND, in no particular order... I saw THE BAND a few months after Richard Manuel passed on... He was alive when I bought my concert tickets, and he was gone by the time of the amazing concert. That show is in the top three concerts I've ever seen... and I've seen over 200 shows!!! The Band was like nothing else on this earth! I was so close I could have reached out and touched Levon's leg... I stayed right there for the first half of the show, then moved down to where I was right in front of Rick Danko (my favorite... I wish I could have met him... I miss him so.) He came right to the edge of the stage I got to watch his hands play those amazing bass lines. He played bass unlike anyone else on this earth! And Garth Hudson is my favorite keyboardist of all time, and what a great horn player! I cannot say enough about how these men impacted and changed my life forever!!! God bless you; RIP Richard, Rick, and Levon! There are less colors in the world without you! ✌🏼& ❤️

[@catdaddy3302]

When Levon stepped off the stage in Springdale, Arkansas, my wife stuck her hand out and said, “Thank you!” Levon took her hand and said, “No. Thank YOU.”

[@christy7698]

Only two bands changed my life. The Band and The Velvet Underground. That is the only thing they have in common but that's a BIG one!

[@NagoyaHouseHead]

Some people say The Beach Boys are the American Beatles. I say The Band are the American Beatles.

[@bosox9017]

@@NagoyaHouseHead Interesting comment. Both bands have great harmonies. Both of the bands describe America. Very similar. You are right. They must be "cousins"

[@youspoppa]

Danko @2:00 -- "we're not gonna change the world, but we're here to help the neighborhood". Rick, you underestimated yourself. R.I.P.

[@codydavidyates72]

Lovely quote. His voice is forever soaring somewhere out there.

[@ronjanis5321]

More true words have never been spoken (or written)!

[@IHIKML]

Saw them about a month or so after this gig, and they were amazing!!! I was even lucky enough to be invited to dinner with them after the show, but that's another story....;-) All I can say, they were a great bunch who knew how to treat their fans!!! RESPECT!!!!! RIP Manuel, Danko, Bell and Helm! Your legacy and music will live on forever, and people will remember you with love in their hearts!! You were such a great band no matter what incarnation!

[@wacody1560]

This was a great night. THE BAND opened for The Allmans.

[@kmousie49]

I am just amazed and stunned when I watch this....then at the same time broken hearted and sad that they are no more. I wonder if they now know how incredible and adored they are then and even now. Miss them all so much.

[@johncollinson8130]

I WOULD BE A LOT SADDER IF THERE WAS NO FILM. JPC.

[@catdaddy3302]

When I first saw him in Helena, Arkansas, his band opened with Caledonia. He didn’t have another drummer though. He carried it all on his own. I’d seen him with The Band years earlier. But I got to sit and visit with him for a while this time. He was a great guy, very REAL. He was still a country boy from Turkey Scratch, Arkansas. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@marksandoval3126]

Most underrated musicians of all time!

[@BBPalmer420]

Not really, a very well documented band, much appreciated and rated right as they need to be. Supreme

Lived 1/4 mile from the danko family farm. My mom, Carmen, was dating Rick the months before he left for California to become famous and she hooked up with my dad before he could come back. Yup I have imagined lol. The entire danko family was talented and sat a many family jams at the old farmhouse, was blessed.

I did not know that Levon played the bass guitar so well. He can really groove. I've never seen one of these concerts from the 90's, even though I had all of the music from the reformed BAND. It's great to see how well Rick performed live. Too soon gone, man.

[@omeletpants]

Actually, Levon taught Rick Danko to play the bass in 1961

[@omeletpants]

BTW, Rick started out as a lead guitarist, then Levon taught him to play bass and he took over that job

[@malbuff]

I've always had the feeling Levon could play anything, and teach it, too. That man was a walking, talking, singing, brilliant musical genius.

[@mitchuhl7357]

Levon Helm could probably play almost any instrument you put in front of him

[@tomjones5650]

Garth taught them all also.

Back in the day, I saw this lineup front row in the old Ontario Place revolving stage in Toronto. Terrific show! Also, I'm wondering who has seen the earlier VHS of them touring Western Canada after Robertson had left. They had added extra talent such as the Cates brothers, I believe. Man, they were red hot and tighter than a witches wtf. Track it down and enjoy. Would love to find a digitized and remastered version. The performances are worthy of such treatment.

I’m 26, so I wasn’t born until 8 months & 7 days after this concert, but The Band, and more specifically, Levon, has had such an impact on my life. My brother played their version of ‘Atlantic City’ for me when I was 10, and that was it. I went down the rabbit hole of The Band & music inspired by/similar to the Band. Top 5 are The Band, Grateful Dead, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison & Talking Heads.
