忘れようがないよね ザ・バンドほど素晴らしいグループは二度と出てこない❗️大好き‼️

[@sean891]

Amazing thing about this concert despite the absence from Robbie Robertson is it feels more like a band performing than Martin Scorsese's constant focus on Robertson's performance in the Last Waltz. Even when he wasn't singing.

[@MsTdougherty]

I love the Band! And they were great! But my favorite was the kid from Turkey Scratch Arkansas. I always said Levon was the heart and soul of The Band.

[@hannejeppesen1809]

The all had unique talent. Robbie wrote most of the song, played killer guitar, Levon and Richard great singers, I love them, Garth outstanding, however my favorite is Rick, he is so soulful, sings with such emotion and has such and endearing personality.

[@brandonmatuja6498]

Thank you for uploading this! One of my favorite Band concerts! My ONLY critique of the concert is this: the performance of "It Makes No Difference" here MIGHT'VE been the best version of this great song--which says A LOT, cuz there are SEVERAL stand-out versions of this song!--IF Richard's vocal mic HADN'T been louder than all of the others'! You can hardly even HEAR Rick's voice during the choruses. 😕

[@peterlittlehorse5695]

I agree that Rick's vocal performance here surpasses even that on The Last Waltz.

WHERE IS ROBBIE

[@terryblankenshipmusic1322]

Robbie’s stint with THE BAND ended in 1976

[@jeffmitchell9863]

He wanted to go out with a bang, in 1976….. and out he stayed!! Never welcome back with The Band again! Thankfully!! Greed and all the money from The Last Waltz and being an egotistical ass got him axed from any future involvement of any kind. Now he’s dead too!

[@hartburg356]

I thought they quit with the last waltz in 76.

[@josdegruiter3835]

Robbie Robertson left, the others came back to restore the band.😊

[@terryblankenshipmusic1322]

Only Robbie the rest of the boys soldiered on till the late 90’s , When Rick Died in 99 that kind of put a end to it , But Levon had a resurgence in his career in the 2000’s and went strong for nearly a decade after he had the throat cancer but finally succumbed to it in 2012

[@EatAPeach72]

@@terryblankenshipmusic1322 Wow ! 2012 , time flies

[@alioriquer]

Is it possible that Levon decided not to ever sing Old Dixie again after Last Waltz?

[@chrispywilliams1992]

i think so. its not written about anywhere though

[@jamesmccarthy5086]

I love that song. In the last waltz he seemed to put his heart and soul into it. Maybe he thought he’d done it so good that he never wanted to make it worse. I just love the song, wish he did sing it again

[@buffikit]

I have read that when he was complimented on his fabulous performance of the song during The Last Waltz, that his reply was “thank god I’ll never have to do it again” 😞

[@robertbruce6865]

According to Sandra Tooze’s biography of Levon, he reportedly hated doing Robbie’s material. I’m not sure how he thought that he’d be able to avoid it IF they weren’t writing new material. I know that when I saw them in Chicago in 96, there was precious little material outside of Robbie’s songs. They did stuff off Jericho and High On The Hog, which was good.

Buena onda o no cuñado Jano

[@JJJZANESVILLE2]

It's the Band, going on without Robbie. Rick got up to at least 350 pounds and then commited suicide. Why couldn't any of them leave Robbie behind and not repeat those songs. Yes, those songs were theirs.It didn't help them. Love them 🥰. However, go on or stop. I guess you can tell, I thought Robbie was the main guy. They were a band, of course. But why do this? The Band was over. Over.

[@JJJZANESVILLE2]

Jeez. The band without Robbie?

[@JJJZANESVILLE2]

Playing 2nd class joints all across our great country that would have them. What a fucking life.

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Rick died in his sleep in 1999, he did get very heavy, too bad, he was very good looking when he was younger. Richard committed suicide in 1986.
