Back atcha, pal. Love this flick as it captures many of my favorite musicians, esp. Pig.

[@Karmakatt6]

@Nano0k fantastic film indeed!! Would've loved to have seen Bob Dylan on that train!!

[@Nano0k]

@@Karmakatt6 Hard to pick a favorite performance, but seeing Janis, Jerry, Bobby and Danko singing “Ain’t No More Cane” on the train had me grinning ear to ear.

Richard Manuel. A beautiful tragic soul. What a fabulous collection of musicians they were.

[@christopherlangdon2892]

Richard leading is the best.

[@davidlovett5022]

Sometimes I feel. This hill's to steep to climb And the days that remain ain't worth a dime

[@GreatGardenGnome]

Wonderfully gifted musicians. Richard really shines in this performance.

[@abundancemindset777]

What a beautiful, beautiful voice and version of this song !

[@Racingbro1986]

This is a gem

[@joelwexler]

I discovered these guys just days before this at overnight camp. I still remember putting on the brown album, hearing Across the Great Divide for the first time. Almost 53 fucking years later they're still my go to music. The Band!

[@terrygarcia897]

I like how Richard puts his shoulders into it

[@JamesConley1234]

One of the best songs ever.

[@herculesdutradecamposfilho2033]

[@thomash642]

The range on Richard's voice is awesome...baritone to falsetto.

[@taylordw]

When I saw the Band live in the 1970’s at UC Santa Barbara, this song stood out for me and made me appreciate Richard Emanuel so much. I was shocked and hurt when I heard years later of his suicide.such a soulful singer

[@wendicraig6321]

Best band EVER! They burned out way to soon. Miss them Sooo much

[@teacup3133]

Thank you for this!

[@patrickluzzi9893]

[@johnstrohsnitterjr-vs8qb]

[@JamesConley1234]

[@johnstrohsnitterjr-vs8qb]

@@JamesConley1234 yes

[@jarteheiziss]

Love to see Levon on mandolin

[@Argotero]

Best Band ever.....they're getting better with the years...

[@danielmunder810]

It's crazy we have the technology to re-watch anything we want like this and I'm not sure how I feel about that...but that part starting at 3:07 is so beautiful where they trade off and I can't stop watching it.

[@joelwexler]

What's the downside? It's what's so great about KZbin.

[@fuchsiaswing8545]

Sweet Richard is in top form.

[@mercurialaquarian]

So beautiful.

[@jujugrill]

RICHARD!

[@Soranka]

非常棒的版本，希望微博营销号别转去墙内恰烂钱了，谢谢

[@terrygarcia897]

Richard my favorite

[@leonino8838]

I can’t believe they’re all gone, except for Garth.

[@michaelnelson9140]

It won’t be too long till Garth joins the rest of them in heaven. I hope they’ll play for me and the missus, when I get there! Their the best.

[@user-ig7so1xb6h]

The electric guitar doesn't fit, a nice acoustic part would have fitted better.

[@drewwhitney2593]

Studio version has acoustic guitar. Sometimes when you play live you just have to make due with the instrument in your hand. Still a great rendition of this song.

[@HuWhiteNat]

God bless you, Richard.
