The Band & Emmylou Harris 'Evangeline' 1978.avi

The Band & The Beautiful Emmylou at their best in this studio cut from The Last Waltz.........Thankyou Mr Scorcese for capturing this moment when they were all at the top of their game.
Such a shame that so many of these talented musicians have now passed on.....Richard, Rick and Levon RIP.
In particular Thankyou Levon for your influence.

[@thomascleveland8121]

I don't know I've watched it maybe 70, 80 times over the last 45 years. If there is a genre called Americana, this is it. These performers' impact on our music was and is profound. They are masters of their craft. I'll be watching until my boat goes down.

[@poetcomic1]

Levon Helm was so good as Loretta Lynn's father in Coal Miners Daughter that the real Loretta burst into tears first seeing him on screen - it was her father come to life.

[@liza0052]

I agree. That scene where he takes Loretta to the train stop and says, "I'll never see you again" is heart wrenching. Should have won him a best supporting Oscar for that performance.

[@jackwalker1822]

Saw The Last Waltz on TV for the first time in 1980. Watching this song, I was obsessed, who is that lovely girl singing like an angel? Went out and bought Blue Kentucky Girl, my first purchase of a country album, and the rest is history. Also amazed that they only rehearsed it once, most of the band were playing not their normal instrument, and it was written the night before. Will never tire of watching this performance. Thank you to Martin Scorsese.

[@chasermalloy7406]

Probably 1980 for me too. Recorded in 1976 of course but not released in 1978 I think. All the interviews done in 1978 too. Have it on dvd as well as the Dylan Brittish tour movies.

I love this so much. And it's heartbreaking too, though. The angelic Emmylou off in the clouds, separate from them until she sings! Rick and Levon so young at the top of their game. Robbie with his 24 hours song lyrics. All of it! This is solid fucking gold. RIP, guys.

Rick Danko what a voice. All in all what a bunch of great artist together

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Just read in a book about The Band that someone described Rick's voice "as the most achingly plaintive in rock and roll, that could bring a tear to the eyes of even the most hardcord Hell's Angels. They were right. Listen to Rick's version of "It makes no difference".

I saw Emmylou Harris at Jones Beach New York about 20 years ago and she was great I sat in a section with all the disabled people because I took my friend who has cerebral palsy and you had to bring your own lawnchairs.

short and sweet. mostly sweet. emmylou and the band make a great combo.

[@joecburke]

The pisser is that this song was written by Robbie Robertson the night before this take on film. Some of the singers (like Emmylou) were reading lyrics off of big cards held up off-camera. They only rehearsed it once before the take. (All testified by Levon in an interview years later). So listen to this arrangement, the vocals, and the keyboard work by Garth. Absolutely Stunning.
