    Dying from cancer and 70+ years old and can sing better and play better than any new musicians on the market today. As a drummer myself, Levon is my biggest musical influence. I just wish I could sing a fraction of as good as he could. RIP Levon. I’m sure you are leading Heavens Band.

    Despite his weight loss and haggard look, Levon played and sang with fervor. One of the greats, sorely missed. Now it is 2023, just rewatched it, and wondered how many folks in that crowd realized that the talent of Levon and associates would rarely be seen again.

      Levon always looked super slight, even when he was young, but he always sang and played like a heavyweight.

      Loved his roles as Chuck Yeager’s sidekick in “The Right Stuff” and as the sage in “SHOOTER” loved the line after Mark Whalburg said “are you sure their dead” He said “Yes I’m sure, still have the shovel in my shed”👻

      He was always that skinny, he was only 5' 8". For the life he lived on road he died an old age. He knew he'd never see 100, none of us will most likely and if you are than be thankful. He lived more in his time on this Earth than many of us combined. He wasn't born with money and nor did he die with it, money doesn't equal happiness. Good music, family, and friends is all you need.

    Someday , someday if we awake to a better reality than the present , curing cancer will become a real priority versus going to Mars or Pluto ...we will never find there anyone like LAVON LEVON HELM to entertain us and stir our emotions . Being from the same generation as Levon`s enabled me to enjoy his music and influence sooner than many later discovered in time.
    Thank you Levon , rest in God`s eternal peace

    Levon was having a blast that night. What a class act. Chills down my spine at the 5 minute mark as Chery Crow stands back and Amy and Levon lock eyes to sing that last verse. It really doesn't get any better than that. RIP Levon Helm

    Levon spoke late often of how the midnight rambles of his youth influenced him His life and music went full circle; from the Arkansas tent shows of his youth, to the stadiums, and finally back to the Woodstock rambles at his barn. I truly believe 60 years from now there will be an old musician talking about the influence Levon had on him when he was a kid, and I hope that kid can pass on the music, the gentleness, and the love Levon gave us all.

    I consider myself so fortunate to see Levon Helm’s live in concert. Levon’s love and enthusiasm for playing music just oozed through the venue and enveloped the audience with his love for playing music. I cried the day I heard the news that Big Daddy G called Levon home to play drums in his Pearly Gates band and after listening to ever record, cassette tape, reel to reel tape, CD, song I had of Levon playing my sadness passed because I knew that he no longer had to suffer the ravages of F#cking Cancer and could now play all day and night long without ever getting tired. God Bless you Levon Helm you were and ever will remain a legendary music man to me.

    don't say rock and roll is dead, Levon brought it back to life with the midnight rambles, and if everything goes as it should that magical old barn will be saved one more time, and the ramble will go on forever.....Levon may be gone but as long as there's still thousands upon thousands of people listening to and playing his music rock will never die

    I had the honor of playing bass in the opening act for Levon Helm in Tulsa a few years ago. He was a very nice and down to earth person. Levon was in the class of the best of the best musicians that never sold out, like the late J.J. Cale and Leon Russel.
    They will all be missed but never forgotten. They left us their timeless gift of some of the best music of the 20th century.

    There aren't many things that make me cry, but Levon Helm was one. From his sweet soft mandolin on incredible love ballads like "It Makes No Difference"; his shouting out rockers like "The Shape I'm In" -- all the way decades later to the hard rural songs on his "Electric Dirt", he had that understated, appropriate drumming with the mystical voice that moved me to tears. They're almost all gone now -- God Bless you Levon, sleep well and enjoy your many musicians and friends waiting on you there.

    True, he was one of the nicest, genuine people I ever met, he played at my club in 1989 with the Allstars, in Liberty, NY on South Main street, one of the best shows we had over the 5 years we were open. The Pursuit of Happiness cafe and music club. He offered to leave all the equipment and come the very next day to play again, but i had to decline even though I would have loved it. i wasn't sure we'd have enough people to pay the extra fee, a decision then i had to make in a minute. Wish I had it to do over again.

We had such a great time especially when Gene Clark of the Byrd's walked in,then Billy Preston and Harry Dean staton. We all had such a great time that's what I called my great ole days. I'll always, oh and I left out my great friend Royce D. Applegate, without him, I would've never had met all these great legendary musicians. RIP Royce,levon,Billy and IRA Miller.

    Since I heard the news that Levon died, I've been listening to his music and understandably, feeling quite sad. I felt as if he left something unfinished or there was more living he should have been allowed to do. This video gives me closure. The happiness in Levon in this video is amazing. Seeing him doing what he did best, as well as he ever did it, straight until the end really speaks to how complete his life was. I'm still sad he's gone, but you can't say he didn't live a full life.

      @Denise Hartle None of us know the truth. They were all on their way to becoming hard core junkies and drunks. Robbie was done with the road. It killed Richard.Emanual and Rick Danko. Robbie saw it coming. The fact that no one but Robbie did any significant writing after the breakup is telling. I am sure the truth lies somewhere in between the two stories. Playing for change did the 50th anniversary version. Robbie gets no royalties because Bob Dylan owns the rights to that song or did until he sold out. Levon made plenty off it with his performaces.

All I can say is they had had us mesmerized along with groups like Little Frat. Levon Helm was a great vocalist, drummer and actor. He was taken far too soon and is sorely missed. R.I.P Mr. Helm.

    There is no one like Levon . His statue should be on Mt. Rushmore . The man is an icon

    George Recile, Dylan's drummer on shaker and tambourine behind Levon. Such a great night of music in the best hall I've ever had the good fortune to be in .

    ... just cruising through some of the legends here on TH-cam, ... looking for performances where the bands seemed to be having the time of their lives. This is certainly one of them - can only imagine what playing with Levon was like. Clearly, these folks were loving it - and at the Ryman to top it off.

    I really like John Hiatt here, need to explore his music more! Great to see Levon Helm having so much fun here with this classic song from his days in The Band.
