[@jayt.1163]

most bands arent as good live as they are in the studio. The Band is the opppsite. Ever better live! RIP Levon, Rick, and Richard

[@fgsp8909]

oh god ... everytime i see a song of the band that i do not know, i always hesitate before clicking on it, because i know i'm gonna probably listen to it 50 time / day for a week or two .... Such an amazing piece of music " i got a dream burnin inside, no one else around, just you and i " with the 3 voice at same time put me tears .... THANKS SO MUCH

[@theha-hawalls5783]

Even if this has bad sound quality you can still feel the emotions. That's how good these guys were at what they did.

[@patriciajohnson3017]

There will never be three singers in one person again.

[@whitestarline1000]

i live in Woodstock and just stopped by Rick and Levon;s graves.........RIP......

[@CryptoGrizzly710]

i want to be there too

[@markashley812]

im near Herkimer ny id like to visit the graves ,,,where exactly are they?

[@Cliffjrs]

Mark Ashley just off Rock City Road before the Park.

[@theha-hawalls5783]

I want to visit Richard's. It's close to where I live and I might even leave a note.

[@jolathrop77]

I really wish they were here with me Tonite. Love and miss them so. Just makes me wanna cry. Such beautiful guys.😢😘

[@Free1108]

I do cry. We’ll never see these beautiful souls singing together again, for me there was never any better. loved these guys for more than years than any relationships I was ever in ❤️

[@npkrry]

I saw The Band in Finland 1996 or the remaining of it. Rick and Levon was there on stage and it was a beautiful day.

[@marleenfawcett981]

So beautiful. Rick Danko sounded so sweet. Then the rest of them together just make you wish they could have made music forever.

[@TelecasterLPGTop]

Ah Marleen weren't they wonderful. Rick Danko's voice and his rendition of "When you awake" has pulled me out of many a depression, God bless him and all of them...

[@zenzen1916]

🥀🎶so glad The Band never sold out and went disco... 😇🎶😇🎶😇🎶Rockin' Heaven

[@agc3fcn]

yeah, makes me weep for the love they gave us...

[@peggygleichman5101]

What a song...gave me chills. Miss Rick, Richard, and Levon's voices so very much. Listening to The Band now is bittersweet...

[@tonyfletcher2541]

The greatest group ever...

[@kaybullo5291]

Oh how we all wish they were still here again

[@matthewodonnell6602]

This is just brilliant. Only discovered just how good Richard manuals voice is.

[@kiann1596]

this is rick danko on vocals

[@robertbruce6865]

Richard is my all time favorite male vocalist. Incredible. If you’re not moved after listening to the Woodstock version of Tears Of Rage, you have no soul.

[@clarencewood6620]

​@@kiann1596 Talking about the harmonies. Rick is fantastic.

[@clarencewood6620]

​@@robertbruce6865 And that Irish lullaby too

[@39KHall]

I got into the Band about 10 years ago, but this track is new to me. Sublime.

[@ArchStantonify]

Kenneth Hall I wish I was you!

[@robowitzmusic]

Jim Sullins- So many great artists knew this song was special.

[@waltzie88]

Fabulous. Can't believe I'm first hearing this now.

[@clarencewood6620]

If you haven't heard Acadian Driftwood, check it out. Canadian history with them at their best.

[@wookie20f]

Just makes me cry like a baby....

[@jimsullins9162]

I just heard this recording this morning and I wrote the song ! Thank you so much. Wow, The Band did my song and I just found out today :) :) :)

[@jglustig]

Beautiful song, they did beautifully!

[@thinkerguy4]

Good song, dude.

[@lxnr8816]

Jim Sullins i have so much to say to you that i'm speechless.... thank you

[@jjswinn]

how beautiful is that!

[@darrellkastin6738]

The Band did your song? I'd be on top of the world! Good song.

[@jglustig]

It’s nice to be nice! Richard? How sweet. Beautiful.

[@marleenfawcett981]

Thats just so sweet. Ricks voice is great here. So nice to hear all 3 of them.

[@00gumboyaya00]

yes, you are right ! how can we forget those 3-voices.

[@mitchellbrozinsky160]

RIck Danko's sweet voice rising up...

[@BarryHawk]

Superb

[@TheSamoht67]

Thank You for putting this up Brian, To my regret I never got to see the guys live, maybe some day in the blue sky, They were GIANTS in the best way, R.I.P .

[@jimclancy6715]

Tom - I was lucky enough to be right next to the stage at Watkins Glen in 1973 + hear what amounted to 2 full live performances by the Band - the soundcheck on Friday and then the concert Saturday - IMO they blew away the Dead and the Allman Brothers that weekend.

[@tometheridge4711]

Thank You So Much for posting this jewel...saw them many times, but not in 86 and I never heard them do his song...

[@theha-hawalls5783]

This should've been done in the studio.

[@janhensley3617]

Wonderful! Thank you❤

[@TheSamoht67]

Just so wonderful, rest easy fair fellows.

[@RascalXmas]

i wish there was a studio recording of them playing this

[@TheRacboys]

Such a pretty song 🎵

[@suewarner1781]

❤ The Best Band Ever!

[@steveh46]

Thanks, never heard that before either.

[@VforVendettas]

I'm gonna have to look up my Ray C. collection & find his version.

[@RascalXmas]

its such a beautiful version. you'd think they wrote it.

[@robertbruce6865]

Jim Weider’s guitar playing: beautiful and sublime.

[@SteveWilsonman]

Top, top class!

[@Kowasi]

It makes me wonder, if Mr. Manuel had lived, whether The Band might have put an album out in about '88 or '89, and what might have been on it…

[@kevink6045]

Jesus did Richard sound right again. Gutted that he died on an upswing, so many do.

[@robertbruce6865]

Former Band Manager Joe Forno’s book paints a darker picture. Incredibly sad, because he’s my all time favorite male vocalist. But the end of his life was bleak and tormented. Back on booze and drugs, with a fragile marriage and poor self esteem. He deserved so much better.

[@jayt.1163]

RIP Richard

[@robertmerkler2751]

A once in a century band. Wdyt?

[@MrBobbystyles]

Good stuff

[@richardmorrell4842]

[@CryptoGrizzly710]

ray charles was nothing 9n this league

[@34hedgehog]

Sorry? English, please?

[@timothymitchummusic710]

Pretty sure Richard Manuel said he was influenced by ray charles. I feel like you can hear ray in all of their voices.
