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.

Cliche. But it really doesn’t get any better than this. R U kidding me - Emmylou and Da Band. Cmon man❤

[@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.

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.

A very important film clip for lots of reasons, one of which is the view of Richard Manuel on drums. He was no Levon Helm - few people were - but it’s useful to see and hear that he was more than just a timekeeper, as important as that is.

[@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.
