A little story for those that loved Rick...In the mid 80's I went to see Jerry Garcia Band at a small club in Poughkeepsie,N.Y. It was small, very small and when I got inside I was pleasantly surprised to find out Rick Danko was opening,solo acoustic. He came out smiling and said,"This is like seeing Jerry in his living room!" He was great that night just like countless other nights.
My band got to open up for Rick in October 99' He invited us to play his encore with him, Shape Im in and Crazy Mama. He was the most genuine dude I ever met, great guy, Sweetheart
It's impossible not to like Rick Danko. His years with The Band are legendary, and he did some wonderful things with Paul Butterfield. Rest in peace,Rick. You're still awesome.
@@lewstone5430unfortunately that’s not true. He was arrested for heroin possession in Japan in 1997 because his wife sent him heroin in the mail. I’m not judging him at all, he struggled with addiction for much of his adult life. Just pointing out that it’s unfortunately false that he had fully gotten through his opiate addiction by this time.
Oh God,ANOTHER one who doesn't understand the word ' underrated ' and thinks it's cool to say...so and so ( insert name of extremely famous and talented musician) is underrated. NO,NO,NO,NO,NO! It's become the standard line about everyone who's basically a music legend. I'm going to be really controversial and cool and say they're underrated. No,you don't sound ' cool' you just look stupid, as he's clearly not underrated ,just the opposite in fact. He was a member of one of the best bands ever,a band who influenced countless others,he was highly rated and respected by everyone. He makes all the lists of top bassists. Nobody's ever thought of him as underrated, he's extremely rated by fans,critics and fellow musicians.
Very underrated bass player. Fabulous musician. Good soul. He's probably looking down at us now, laughing. He, Richard and levon are probably entertaining the rest of heaven with a great jam session. RIP
I got to hang with Rick and the crowmatics back just before Ricks passing and Levon it was a series of coffee house gigs , it was a lot of fun hanging with a great , miss him a lot! See you when I get home Rick Levon and Robbie!🙏✌️💪🇺🇸
Rick had a longtime addiction to anything that would ease the pain resulting from his 1969 car crash in Woodstock. He was arrested in Japan while on tour with Danko/Fjeld/Andersen; supposedly, he cleaned up while awaiting trial, but...according to Jim Weider...relapsed not long before his death. He and Elizabeth Danko had been evicted from their home and were living in a motel when he died...less than a week after his last show in Ann Arbor (the Video is on TH-cam...it’s a hard watch if you love Danko).
Interesting revelation, there, that it was Robbie who had grown tired of touring. Further demonstrated when they reunited the band but he would never join them. I'm glad they carried on despite losing him. They remained terrific.
@@aarfeld you said it's a "revelation". Watch the movie again: Robbie talks about being tired of touring, Rick says he's going to keep doing what he's doing. And both did exactly like they said they would. The only revelation is that you thought they said more than they really did.
@@triptoyourheart Many people assumed that they all wanted to retire, including the interviewer on this clip. The Band's 16 year reunion set the record straight.
@@aarfeld Robbie would have been in in a second in 1983 had the other guys been in for a creative process. Meaning Robbie would have brought a set of new songs. But they decided to take the nostalgia act route, sadly, if I may say so. Lot of things could have gone differently than they eventually did.
I love every member of The Band. They are all personalities that were their own but were one in the same as well. But I have to say Rick and Robbie were always my favorite.
I saw him do a solo acoustic show in the early 90’s, he kept saying how good the soup was he’d had just before getting on stage. I think Frampton might have been the main act.
No, Robbie wrote amazing songs and even when he stopped playing with them, the others still played his songs. Levon never wrote more than few songs in his entire life, as great as he was as a musician. But Robbie was the creative force and the man with a vision. All of them were still equally needed to make The Band happen.
1.40....watch him pull his hand away from Rick’s, seems almost like he’s pissed off with him, something contemptuous about it. Maybe the gratuitous fawning one indulges in when one is under the influence of narcotics. So it’s not the person issuing compliments it’s the drug induced state.....am I over analysing this bollocks?

Love Rick Danko. He is amongst the best bassist and singers in Rock history. So sad he is gone.

Awesome! He’s probably my favorite member of The Band.
Love this guy. Rest easy, you did real good.
People: watch Rick sing "It makes no difference" and you will be moved by his performance of this heartbreak tune.
It's impossible not to like Rick Danko. His years with The Band are legendary, and he did some wonderful things with Paul Butterfield. Rest in peace,Rick. You're still awesome.
Rick Danko... even people who’ve never heard of The Band would be utterly and instantly charmed by this man.
In bad shape, an addict
U dont have any Rock&Roll knowledge
@aorcloud3199 nah, he’d given up the hard drugs for years by this time.

@@aorcloud3199…actually, he looks in quite good shape here.
Incredibly underrated musician and singer…a great humble talent. Gone way too soon.

i can only imagine everything this man saw through his eyes since the 60's..man would it be interesting..Rick Danko my fav Band member
A Most Beautiful Human Being,a sad World without Rick Danko,R.I.P. Troubadour
Rick's good will and good nature were charming and infectious .. and still are
Love The Band and especially Rick! “It Makes No Difference” is absolutely haunting.
I had the pleasure of watching him preform solo at a little bar in Jackson Hole Wyoming,The Mangy Moose it was great love this man true talent
Miss this guy and his music... Wish he'd taken better care of himself. Gone way to soon... RIP, Ricky.
Very underrated bass player. Fabulous musician. Good soul. He's probably looking down at us now, laughing. He, Richard and levon are probably entertaining the rest of heaven with a great jam session. RIP
Robbie has re-joined them now.
@@elgenetiamzon1062 RIP Robbie
He's so down to earth refreshing to see
Rick was a music man. RIP.

Wow what an awesome man. Rick was one of a kind. RIP Mr.Danko.
God Bless You Rick Danko.
After seeing and hearing him for the first time on TLW I went out and bought one of his records, well impressed.
Love that tune straight fright
He seems like he could be your uncle. He's a friendly warm guy.
God bless you Rick, thanks for the music.
Rick has to be one of the coolest musicians in Rock history.

So many beautiful memories: Old friends who have passed on, simpler times.
Such a very humble and talented man
I got to hang with Rick and the crowmatics back just before Ricks passing and Levon it was a series of coffee house gigs , it was a lot of fun hanging with a great , miss him a lot! See you when I get home Rick Levon and Robbie!🙏✌️💪🇺🇸
I miss Danko so much!! Rest in peace Rick!!
I wouldn't have recognized him. Sure changed from the early years. RIP Rick.
Smoking cigarettes? Oh no! Rick was such a positive, happy man. He spread so much happiness to others.
Thomas Pick he smoked a lot more then cigarettes
Oh, Thomas; may you live to be 120...
Well it s known smoking s not great for the heart. Shame 💔

Always my favorite, RIP brother.
Seems like a great guy. RIP Rick.
Thank you so much for this!
Love this guy!
Pro. He was a pro dedicated to his music.
Thank you Rick ❤️
Beautiful.
Rick was a force to be reckoned with.
🤔You lived doing what you loved...you might have taken the final bow too early...yet it was a life well lived ..😇🎶
a real musician
Sounds good sadly not looking best of health. Love for Rick. Muddy Waters getting mentioned, thanks much.

It's not a revelation, it's what's said in the movie.
@@triptoyourheart It had been implied that they had all grown tired of touring. In truth it was really just Robbie.

Рик с 'БЭНД' были классные чуваки!!
Спасибо им за их МУЗЫКУ!
Quase
My favorite Canadian
Miss you Rick.😓😪😥
I love every member of The Band. They are all personalities that were their own but were one in the same as well.
But I have to say Rick and Robbie were always my favorite.
1999 we lost him. 86 we lost richard. we lost levon.
"the older i get the funnier it becomes"
Pretty good little music film my ass.. The Last Waltz is LEGENDARY.. Rick too humble here
A great Canadian if there ever was one
Just realized that Otis Redding and Rick died on the same day (December 10). Wow
Thanks! Is this in Finland?
I saw him do a solo acoustic show in the early 90’s, he kept saying how good the soup was he’d had just before getting on stage. I think Frampton might have been the main act.
Rick Danko is my favorite Band member but also the second most frustrating member too.
Leigh Foulkes frustrating?
Can ya hear that singin ?
Sounds like gold.
A Drive By Truckers' lyric!
Rickey Medlocke from "Skynyrd" makes an appearance lol
Absolute 100% stereotypical old stock white Canadian from Ontario. True Canadian.
And Ukrainian.
0:22... Simyoularities...
I got to meet Danko when he played at the Columbia Town Festival, but sadly he was kind of out of it.
Is that Ricky Medlocke?
Yep
420 views!
Rick and every member of "The Band" deserves a purple heart for putting up with R. Robertson for all those years
HERE AGAIN NOT TO BE SACRELIGEOUS---- BUT""""" AMEN"""""
they lost the mold for guys like that
didn't Rick know that was Todd Rundgren ?
That's Ricky Medlocke from Skynyrd
Wow, I too thought it was TR
this is around the time rick got busted for heroin possession
And
I am guessing Rick may have had ADD never diagnosed.
that kinda looks like todd rundgrin.
These European journalists...geez. Come on guys.
Rick's pretty wasted here. What great energy though.
Alex McGillivray he’s not wasted.
@@scottreed8985 ya he is so yakked out it makes me jittery
Shame he became addicted to heroin. It cut his life short
Slava Ukraini
If you piled up all the coke rick did in his life I wonder how big it would be
Bindair Dundat not as much as Mick Fleetwood.
Or Ozzy Osbourne
Who cares
Still nowhere near as big of an asshole you are
Robbie is a robber
No, Robbie wrote amazing songs and even when he stopped playing with them, the others still played his songs. Levon never wrote more than few songs in his entire life, as great as he was as a musician. But Robbie was the creative force and the man with a vision. All of them were still equally needed to make The Band happen.
He was the song writer from the age of fifteen
Truth
@@triptoyourheart Then they should have split the revenue. Oh well. By the way, why did Robertson's well dry up after The Band?

Absolutely
Doesn't look like him
