I took my sister to see Levon Helm Band in 2008 for her birthday. I enjoyed it just as much as she did. Best concert I have ever had the pleasure of attending. Rest in peace, Levon. My favorite drummer of all time!

[@derrellthomas239]

@BryanClark-gk6ie It's a small 8-stringed instrument. The guy sitting down wearing a blue shirt (Levon Helm, drummer for The Band) is playing it.

[@liaghetta]

The one and only Levon Helm, one of the greatest drummers of all times ❤

[@davidcooke8005]

I always thought Deep Elem was somewhere in Texas, but after this, I'm convinced it's somewhere in the dank, greasy, underbelly of the Mississippi delta.

[@JoyCrouch-bv7lg]

Deep Elum is in Dallas; Texas.

[@andysmith3351]

While the area was originally called "Deep Elm," it bothers me that this song doesn't spell the name correctly as "Deep Ellum" (which is what it is now officially named, and has been for ages) Apart from that, as someone that works next to Deep Ellum, this song was intriguing lol.

[@jgardiner1971]

It’s used interchangeably

[@wakeupcall49]

Appreciate the information............an area of Dallas, wasn't it?

[@rakesfunnyfarm]

I think Jerry would be proud.

[@lindarobison7830]

Ya buddy. Jerry kicked it back then. HES A SMILIN. cant wait to go to heaven an hear them all jammin

[@wakeupcall49]

Indeed he would............his Jerry Garcia Acoustic Band version with David Grisman was special

[@christiansibbald7245]

Andy Smith is right, and it 's a universal American slang 11-10-2018

[@susaneaden4602]

Danko sure changed w age esp looking back when he was 1st from Yugoslavia

[@johncarlson7338]

Danko is not at this concert. I think he’s already passed on.

[@matthewpfohl3167]

Rick did himself in years ago after R. R. Screwed the all the other members out of royalties and credit !

[@2zwaantjes]

Can someone refresh my memory: the name of the dark haired singer? Thanks in advance.

[@michiganriverman]

His name is Larry Campbell.

[@tommythompsonsurfer]

jimmey vivino!!!!!! excellwnt!!!!!

[@reubenj.cogburn8546]

Some of the best there ever was. Some of the worst production and editing out there. I mean come on, when a solo starts you follow the musician doing the solo. My 12 year old grandchild understands this concept, and produces higher quality than this. Having said that, I still appreciate this video.
