All these years later it's wonderful to see this video and remember Levon Helm. But also to remember the King Of Rock and Roll who wrote this fantastic song--- the one and only Chuck Berry.
The whole world knows Chuck's biggest hits such as JBG, Roll over Beethoven etc, but this masterpiece and many others are often overlooked. Such a genius!
excellent point. On a similar point, I once went to a Hank Williams Sr memorial concert (Hank Night, Birmingham 2019). The musicians played at least 20 songs and I knew all of them, the best I can remember. But I didn't know this song by Chuck Berry. And The Band didn't quite have the Chuck Berry sound but they made it their own successfully
The lead guitar player is Earl Cate, bass player is Ron Eoff, and the drummer is Levon's nephew, Terry Cagle, all from the inimitable Cate Brothers Band, who accompanied Levon on many occasions. All Arkansans!
John Sheffield thanks so much for the info John;Im enjoying this music so much,having a private Band /Levon and friends fest.cant keep from jumping around!
I don't know who the guy is at the end of this dancing is but I hope he is still living. Here's to you Brother...THAT was a good night. I'm jealous. RIP Levon, you brought a lot of people a lot of joy.
My husband played his guitar along with this last night and TRIED to mock the bass player's moves. I never laughed so hard in all my life! I wish I had videoed it.
wow, that was great. And I didn't even know that Chuck Berry song. Levon and the band, going back to their roots. Though it's way too late for a do over, its clear by this version of The Band that the original quintet retired too soon. Wish they could've done the annual days-long residencies at selected, top-notch performance halls like the Allman Brothers did at the Beacon.
What a pity...it's not possible any more, but at least we got these videos, etc. for young people to show how was it when good musicians used old style drums, guitars, etc.
If anyone here hasn't watched "Classic Albums: The Band" here on TH-cam, I urge you to do so..BRILLIANT documentary, with fantastic interviews and insight into the making of the album. RIP Rick, Levon and Richard.
James Lumpkin I agree, maybe I wouldn't be quite so hateful towards Robertson, but I do think it was a cruddy thing he did. He seems to have had a huge ego and had it stroked by Scorsese etc. These four guys and the musicians they worked with made some wonderful music after Robbie left them. I'm not decrying Robbie as a musician - the five guys together created alchemy, but on his own I find him a tad bland whereas The Band stayed rootsy.
+James Lumpkin you were blessed to have met him to me he is and always will be the greatest drummer and musician that ever lived outside of Freddie Mercury and he couldn't drum
“ The Band “......... Some might agree ? Maybe not ? The perfect artist line up , all coming together......? And when each of them , was in their OWN grove ..... All different. YET....... They somehow enhance each other’s abilities........? SO ......... Does that just “ HAPPEN “ ? A happenstance sort of thing ?
I've been struggling up here, child, trying to make a living Everybody wants to take, nobody like giving I wish I was in Memphis back home there with my Mama The only clothes I got left that ain't rags is my pajamas No brotherly love, no help, no danger Just a great big town full of cold hearted strangers I went hungry in New York and Chicago was no better But today my dear mother wrote and told me in her letter Son, come back to Memphis and live here with your Mama You can walk down Beale Street, honey, wearing your pajamas You know home folks here, we let do just what you want to And I born you and raised you right here on the corner I'm going to leave here in the morning and walk down to the station I've got just enough money to pay my transportation I'm going back to Memphis, back home with my Mama If I have to ride that bus barefooted in pajamas Back home in Memphis, no moaning and groaning I know everything will be all right in the morning
th-cam.com/video/z6bkoP5ARUI/w-d-xo.html Here's a link to the movie he stared in. The movie is called Carny. He played patch along with Gary Bucesy and Jodi Foster just to name a few.
Members of the Cate Brothers Band, like Levon, from Arkansas. Earl Cate on lead guitar, Ron Eof on bass, and Levon's nephew, Terry Cagle, on drums. Ernie Cate, Earl's twin, wearing a cowboy hat, is seen briefly on keys. Levon toured a lot with the Cate Brothers after The Band broke up. (For what it's worth, Earl's a better player than Robbie...)
Sorry, but that's not The Band, but it IS Levon and Richard Manuel. And no, Robbie wouldn't have been onstage with Levon at that time in either man's life. Levon didn't want anything to do with Robbie after the Last Waltz--and I heard and saw this direct from Lee.
Rick and Garth are also in this lineup, so its 80% of the band. Levon and Robbie feuded for years, but made their peace with each other when Robbie went to visit Levon near the end. Pretty awesome version of Back To Memphis at any rate.
Robbie didn't make The Band. He was as important part as the others, but The Band was just a little different in the 80s and 90s. "It makes no difference, when Robbie's gone... The Band never seems to fade away."
Brian Campbell Levon just nails the lyrics doesn’t he? Great song from Chuck Berry! “I’m gonna ride that bus barefoot in my pyjamas.........😁😁😁I’m seventy now, and can recall hard times in my youth too, “goin back to Mama”. Makes me want to live in Memphis! “You can walk down Beal St honey,wearing your pyjamas!
I'll be 63 in April, didn't find the band till '71 in ninth grade. Bummed I found them towards the end of the line, then The Last Waltz hits. His solo "stuff" after was kinda rocky, all over the place, but the tone of that voice always found you. @@patmiddleton3947
My man is playing the bass drum, the cymbal with the other foot, jamming the harmonica and belting it out!! 🙌 Long Live Levon!
Amen! The best of the best he was.
All these years later it's wonderful to see this video and remember Levon Helm. But also to remember the King Of Rock and Roll who wrote this fantastic song--- the one and only Chuck Berry.
I'm from Memphis. Come visit sometime. You will get the real feel for this song.
62 years old and still cant sit still when levon and the band plays this boogie music, lovin life 2019
73, and exactly the same! The best 'Band' ever!
Yeah 58 and I'm with ya
18winsagin just a youngsta mate.😁😁
Yup, I'll be turning 65 in less than a month. But Levon can still make me feel like a kid again.
levon a musicians heart and soul. an amazing man and a complete musician. i love the band!!!!
One of the great groups of all time. Love Levon Helm's voice.
Drums, mandolin, guitar, harmonica, and one of the best voices ever!! Was there anything Levon Helm didn't do well?
HA! Ever see him dance? LOL
I see he had a bass in a Rick Danko song.
A great great rock and roll.man
And he was a wonderful actor....loved his movies

MY KIND OF BLUES. Turn up your speakers and enjoy the ride.
Levon was a force of nature. A wonderful addition to the shapers of rock&roll. Larry
Brilliant, and all these years later still
Numero Uno
Pure talent,and fun!Hoooah,go Johnnny go go go!
What a pity...it's not possible any more, but at least we got these videos, etc. for young people to show how was it when good musicians used old style drums, guitars, etc.
Thinking about a long ride to Woodstock, visit their graves next week...
Thanks for such a sweet trip down memory lane ❤️ ❤️!
Just got to say it doesn't get any better than this.
The Band were so amazing....all original members gone except for Garth and Robbie.. R.I.P. Levon, Richard, and Rick!!
At least one of the BEST dearly will be missed Talented to a T!
no way I could sit still while that was playin' lovin'Levon
Only if you are dead.
No way could a person sit still I sure in the hell couldn't 😎👍❤️🇺🇸

No doubt! Looks like he was having a BLAST!
Look like Receiver big check
Today is Levon's Birth Day He should be here still with us.
levon , missing you and your music .
Levon rocks, as usual.
❤❤ I absolutely love this!!
I saw the BAND @ Ira Allen Chapel Burlington Vermont, & The Old Lattern Charlotte Vermont, I luv to listen and think of the old Days. 🙏
Chuck and Levon will jam together on this Sunday Rock n' Roll Heaven venue!!!
Can't go wrong with that jam
This is the best! Love it! Thank you!
Levon, man we miss you!!! Great great musician!!
That's Incredible💖
Never in a million years would that be Robbie
Grande...grandissimo Levon!!!
Oh how the world missies that man
It's a double live album recorded on their tour in Japan 1983.
Damn I miss Levon. He was the F'ing man!!
Huh…never heard this before. I just learned Ophelia, and Atlantic City, I’m gonna have to learn this next cause that’s some groovin stuff there.!
Pushin 73" and it's still workin for me :)

every time I the band boogie, I start shaking like Elvis...hahahaahahhaha just cant help it..

О, оо , супер просто супер!!!! Браво!!!♡♡♡♡♡
Rockit afire!!!! Best way to go!!!!!
levon is an amazing musician
Robbie is one hellava mover
hehe )
Im back in Memphis. After 2 years 🤟🤟🤟
Imagine having the pipes to play a harmonica like that and sing WHILE being a heavy smoker. Damn.
Fantastic musician, but the pipes sadly did eventually give up. Fortunately the Band left an enormous music library
Timeless 🔥🔥🔥🔥
That's Rick Danko on rhythm guitar. They billed themselves as The Band and put out an album with the Cate brothers replacing Robbie.

Some might agree ?
Maybe not ?
The perfect artist line up , all coming together......?
And when each of them ,
was in their OWN grove .....
All different.
YET.......
They somehow enhance each other’s abilities........?
SO .........
Does that just “ HAPPEN “ ?
A happenstance sort of thing ?
Levon, Levon Helm great!
I JUST Love This... BR
I love this band ❤ Levon
Me and the whole neighborhood listen to this.😅
Anyone remember the booths at Radio City where you could listen to records before you bought one ?………
No, I was dancing in the AISLE ... and I had my PJs under my clothes ....
Robbie
First time i have seen Levon Helm without a beard, has a bit of a willem dafoe look about him
Brotherly love is in Philadelphia 😀
I've been struggling up here, child, trying to make a living
Everybody wants to take, nobody like giving
I wish I was in Memphis back home there with my Mama
The only clothes I got left that ain't rags is my pajamas
No brotherly love, no help, no danger
Just a great big town full of cold hearted strangers
I went hungry in New York and Chicago was no better
But today my dear mother wrote and told me in her letter
Son, come back to Memphis and live here with your Mama
You can walk down Beale Street, honey, wearing your pajamas
You know home folks here, we let do just what you want to
And I born you and raised you right here on the corner
I'm going to leave here in the morning and walk down to the station
I've got just enough money to pay my transportation
I'm going back to Memphis, back home with my Mama
If I have to ride that bus barefooted in pajamas
Back home in Memphis, no moaning and groaning
I know everything will be all right in the morning
Wow that cat in the aisle sure can dance 💃
That's Robbie Robertson, the bands guitar player and movie star.
@@davidgeorge000 how di
How do u know thats Robbie? Would be odd for him to be there and not play. He's not known for dancing
@@davidgeorge000 Robertson is not a movie star
What makes u think its Robertson? Btw he is not an actor/movie star either
th-cam.com/video/z6bkoP5ARUI/w-d-xo.html
Here's a link to the movie he stared in.
The movie is called Carny. He played patch along with Gary Bucesy and Jodi Foster just to name a few.
Oki dokie 👌 lois 🌹🤓
Damn😍
I still swear that's Robbie Robertson dancing in the isle at 2:51
It probably is lol
Somehow I just don't think Robbie would move like that..too reserved
HAHAHAHA!!!
Earle Cate on that guitar
And Garth!
Members of the Cate Brothers Band, like Levon, from Arkansas. Earl Cate on lead guitar, Ron Eof on bass, and Levon's nephew, Terry Cagle, on drums.

Why don't they play this on the radio?
Hard to find much good music on the radio
Because music directors and Djs don't actually know music.
Sorry, but that's not The Band, but it IS Levon and Richard Manuel.

Just read Levon's book and you'll get your explanation why and how the feud started.
rick and garth are also on stage so ya it's THE BAND just not with RR.
Robbie didn't make The Band. He was as important part as the others, but The Band was just a little different in the 80s and 90s. "It makes no difference, when Robbie's gone... The Band never seems to fade away."
i agree, mitchell...he told me the same thing. think MUDDY...and Neil Diamond. ha. xoxo
Robie receive the last check off royaulties...2.55 joke love you Rob..

Is there any instrument with strings that Tom doesn't know how to play?
Levon is great
Good drummer here. Terry Cagle?
