The Band Cover "Ophelia" (Larkin Poe Cover)

[@jsmoot1]

These girls are a national treasure.

[@johnvoyce]

As a Band fan, I didn't expect to listen to this all the way through. But I did. Really, really good!

[@oroborocharlie262]

This is thé best version ever

[@oroborocharlie262]

Reallly best girls. ever made.. M'y humble opinion

[@bagman79]

Came across this and showed it to my daughter. She is about 8 months into learning the guitar. I was so glad to see an honest and talented duo of young women to help keep her excited about playing. From the interpretation to the playing to the harmonies, this is fantastic all the way through. Thanks for being inspiring.

[@ostrand11]

I felt Levon smile.

[@IncMrLiMPit]

Its true...I am smiling. Oh the other Levon! ;)

[@dTNT24]

this comment struck really hard...

[@TomServo1138]

It’s been 3 years and I still keep coming back to this song. Something about Rebecca’s solo feels like every note was hit perfectly and it just flows so naturally. I can’t explain it.

[@cryptonator1988]

She has this soul like Derrick trucks when she plays slide guitar she has a certain groove and feel you cant teach one of the best and ive heard a lot of slide guitarists..

[@mcburnski]

I just love the balls of these two women. Total Rock Stars. They deserve everything that comes there way

[@Idunnoaboutthisworld]

Rebecca did such a great job on that lead guitar . . . and that serious face she has is awesome!

[@thorsluter7835]

Yeah, you can really tell she's in total concentration mode during the solo, but she did ok. I guarantee if you heard them do the same song today, she'd blow that lead section right out of the water.

[@randydueck889]

Excellent cover. I was at the Edmonton Folk Festival in 2010... Levon Helm sang this song at that time. For me, having been a fan of the Band since the early 70s, it was magic.

[@dogsofwar-tb6gl]

That's the best cover that I've heard of Ophelia great job ladies

[@cryptonator1988]

Didn't even know anyone else covered this song lol then again i never looked i just love the band so much such a underrated song in rock history and band as well..

[@thomashuggins8255]

It has been a long time since I have been moved and excited by this type of exceptional talent. The Muses weep for joy when you play. As do Duane Allman, Son House, Rosetta Tharpe, T-Bone Walker, and all the pantheon of greats. You girls ARE the shizzle. I sure do hope you Georgia Peaches are gonna stop in Alabama some time soon. I surely do.

[@normsky5504]

One of my all time favourite songs, covered by my current favourite band.

[@squidkid2]

Love it, love it, LOVE IT! Saw The Band twice, once with Dylan in the 70's (See the Before The Flood Album). You did a great cover. They say a thing of beauty is a joy forever and you girls just proved it. This version sounds as fresh today as it did back then. Ophelia is alive and well and kickin' it in your bedroom.

[@FlyingRagilein]

This "Tip o' The Hat" series is SOOO AWESOME !!!!

[@davidmarks952]

The Band is by far my favorite group. I first saw LP in the video of The Weight for Playing for Change. They just looked great. Then i stumbled on this. Great guitar, great voices, and it has that slightly raw unproduced sound that sounds real.

[@chrisstephens6431]

Oh my Lord just came across this I'm a 61 year old retired drummer this makes me want to get up and play again so tired of being cooped up from this covid-19 thanks girls you all are wonderful very gifted and talented

[@chrisstephens6431]

Staying up all night watching all your cover videos since I just came across you're alls music just a couple of weeks ago. but I keep coming back to this. it's my favorite just moves me and puts me in a good mood you girls rock. Using your God given talents you don't know how how well you raised my spirits during this covid-19 bull crap

[@LeftyElmo]

I love your vids. Great songs, great playing and vocals. Warms the heart of this 61 year old guy to hear music that means so much to me given new life. Rock on! Looking forward to seeing you in Buffalo in June.

[@robbourassaguitarist]

Just when I despair of really liking young musicians because so many lack soul and rhythm, the two most rhythmic young people I've seen in years show up on my computer. Greatness is a word that comes to mind.

[@stevesullivan8705]

That was tremendous!!! Amazing with just 2 instruments. Love the vocals!!

[@matty8528]

This is the first song that I heard from you. Immediately wanted to hear more and totally love everything! So much soul in that voice! Keep it up ladies! 👍🏼✌🏼

[@jagtone]

Fantastic cover! I never thought anybody could cover this sing well, let alone a duo, but you two even managed to have the "horn section"! Bravissimo!

[@johnvoyce]

This is one of my favourite Band songs. I did not think anyone could get anywhere near doing a good cover but this is great. Great harmonies and instrumental work. It's not just a copy; it sounds original.

[@happymcg]

I really love the harmonies on this recording.

[@paulanderson328]

DAMN! Not that you woke up this morning wondering what I think... but this is one of the most energetic covers I have seen you both do. One of the few times you have matched each others energy almost perfectly in those harmonies. There is no doubt how much you put into this... oh, and bend the hell out of that slide girl... whoa

[@Robert_Herring]

Love what you do. Every one of these covers you make it your own, while paying homage to the original. Seeing you live was one of the finest musical experiences I've had in many a year.

[@Mikemikemike13579]

One of the more underrated songs by The Band. Great cover!

[@mattslavik8159]

I'm trying to figure out what they lack. They have great musical talent, wonderful vocals, an excellent dynamic between them, a bottomless reservoir of soul, tons of charisma (or however you measure charisma,) and, oh, by the way, fantastic looks. I think I have my answer: They ain't lacking for nothin', baby.

[@garyschneider8829]

I would enjoy a drummer backing them... But l may be biased😅 I'm a drummer... These Girls rock it out💥

[@SGTJDerek]

@@garyschneider8829 these vids are just them. Their concerts add Drums and a Bass.

[@inlakesh555]

Those ladies have "too much" for the lacking mainstream.

[@gaian2000]

I was young when songs like this were being released. You have something here. Count me as a fan.

[@croll66]

Dang! That's one of my favorite songs from The Band...you guys rocked it your own way. Musical badassery, is what that was.

[@theuprights1954]

Sweet. Great song. Great rendition. Real music lives on.

[@richardaengberg]

Larkin Poe is my favorite band!!!

[@deltablue4533]

i wish i could explain what you ladies have givin this world. youve givin me so much when i was ready to throw away and for that im living true to another day. you set my soul to the rythem of your grace.

[@ericagner6420]

Nice job! My band does this one, it's a fun tune to play. Lap steel really adds a cool element. That's why I wanted to comment!

[@ezvin8916]

Just stumbled across you two for the first time. Wow! I’m a huge blues and also have on honored spot in my heart for the band. You guys do the music such justice and make it uniquely your own. I must have more!! You ladies rock.

[@thomasbarker1233]

This rendition blew me away. Other videos I looked at when I was studying this tune made it way too complicated. They have the simplicity of the song down pat. Love the ending. Thank you!

[@kevinb9050]

Masterful note choices and meter flexes within the solo. I can’t stop watching these fantastic videos. Lots of music going on!

[@timmyman01]

This is the absolute best cover version that I have heard yet. I can't stop listening!!!

[@1rwjwith]

I can't stop listening to this, love your version, great arrangement!

[@thorsluter7835]

I 1st heard this about a year ago, and I keep coming back to it, can't ever get enough.

[@Ohm51]

OK ... This seals the deal. I was innocently browsing an unrelated forum this evening and someone had queued up Preachin' the Blues ... and I was Stunned. Needing more I watched your Paint it Black upload (awesome) ... and now this ... you're version of one of the best songs in the whole pantheon of best songs by The Band. Ophelia (come back home) So now ya'll done done it ... I'm completely under your spell, you've made me your voodoo victim and Fan for Life. I Love this freaking song and this (your version) just Kills. This is SO freaking good. Prayin' for ya. God Bless.

[@erswnn]

Just the fact they who are so young know and love such old masters is amazing. Then they play those dusty ditties and the real magic begins again! Thank you ladies.....you just played one of my favorite songs. I can belt it out pretty well myself if ya ever want a little help...just saying.....maybe? Might be one of the pleasures of my adventurous life to share a tune for just a few moments. That's what life often comes down to...those moments when pure magic is all there is. You know you're alive!

[@briano.5746]

Love ya ladies , thanx for this ! I am a huge BAND fan . Killer lead Rebecca !

[@gilliad3842]

I was thinking of Oh-Ophe-liaa from The Lumineers XD. Always spectacular, Megan & Rebecca!

[@godfreyhougham1894]

I remember seeing the Last Walz at the picture theatre in 1978. You girls did such a great job of this song and also the Weight with Ringo and Robbie. You are so talented, watch all your stuff. Fantastic ! ! !

[@atreb56]

Great job. Wonderful harmonies. ❤

[@JohnRuzicka]

Damn. You two totally nailed it. Creative take on a classic tune.

[@rcdubya]

You have absolutely got to add that to the live shows! YESSSSSSS!!!

[@crystalpope2451]

Great job, I love their energy on this song and the slide work is very clean & sharp. I do love Larkin Poe. This is my favorite so far from their Tip'O The Hat series.

[@elreyvd]

Definitely two of the hardest working musicians around. Always reaching just a little bit further...

[@picciuto26]

This hit me right in the feels. Thank you for doing this song..just for me....when I needed it most.

[@marksieber8140]

To even try to cover this great Band song...but to absolutely kill it? Oh my. Thank you.

[@tdrenker]

Both leads are Awesome. Fun to listen to. Great stuff start to finish.

[@yraay]

I love their taste in choosing tunes to cover. They knock me out with talent and cuteness. I can hear them doing Lowell George stuff...Maybe they have? Girls, I know you don't want to be thought of just for your looks but damn, you're lovely! It doesn't hurt to hear that once in a while...The special part of being sisters shows through and it's beautiful!
