Great performance..........you can tell Levon loves what he is doing.

[@brittbeck9158]

Not many drummers sing, but Levon Helm always brought joy to the Band. He saw the birth of Rock and Roll...RIP Levon....🙏🥁💙

[@casablanca2745]

I was at this show and up close to see this legend. As I recall this was the opening song and sadly Levon’s “pipes” went downhill for the rest of the show with daughter Amy taking many vocals. RIP to a great artist! Only Garth remains.

[@anaslifeandtimes9569]

RIP Levon yer sadly missed. Thanks for Ophelia!!!!

[@pfrizzle1019]

To anyone who has watched "the last waltz". This is so reminding of the fact of how we age. But as Levon proves.. Age is just a number!!!!! Rock on!!!

[@GuilhermeBrancaleone]

Only the lucky ones have the privilege of getting old. :)

[@JTD472]

Is it just a number or is it something we can observe?

[@galactimus1990]

I think it had something to do with his multiple battles with cancer

[@richardwingate6150]

I can never get enough of Levons raspy voice....RIP

[@TheRacboys]

New Orleans vibes rip mr. Helm

[@jamesgregory2962]

We are so lucky to be able to watch Levon play the drums and sing. He was an absolute pro. My favorite. Interesting to see him NOT hit the snare and cymbal/high hat at the same time. Charlie Watts would approve!

[@custerranch]

I had not noticed that until you said so! It's a little peculiar, and I'm not sure what the benefit was

[@lucguenette7534]

yes,yes, Levon on vintage Slingerland drum kit.

[@davethebat9280]

Amazing performance. Thanks Levon for all that you did with your music. Just joyful.

[@justnancy9673]

I have The Last Waltz DVD. It is a truly great one to own, a real Treasure.

[@metalcavy33]

I’m too old... didn’t exist with this man. Legend.

[@dimorgan1451]

Great to see Levon having so much fun.

[@andyochocki2020]

Such joy all over the stage!

[@daved4215]

The Great Mr Helm.

[@kennewton6626]

My friend proclaims Neal Peart RIP to be his favorite drummer. Not for my money. Levon RIP played with such understated grace, never flamboyant (though he was charismatic), and he SANG, and played other instruments. Didn’t get any better. These days, it’s like who cares, everything on the radio (is that still a word?) is beat machine, loops, poured out of a can. Levon Helm will always be an inspiration to me.

[@MyGlobalWealthCoach]

I listen to this almost every day--- the shared and pure joy is explosive. A guaranteed lift for these old bones and spirit!

[@susanflanagan9159]

Love Levon

[@gibby6904]

So cool!

[@bass0111]

Superb. That's all.

[@Michele_Villeri]

Grande Levon ! 🙂

[@michellouisbastin7768]

Fantastique

[@TheHonudiver]

Love those horns!

[@tonyennis1787]

1:40 the "No Country for Old Men" vibe is strong in this one.

[@ONLYGOODleftistisaDEADleftist]

God bless Levon Helm! He be a REAL music man!

[@TheRacboys]

Party anthem for friyah

[@northstrongwoodworking8421]

Fantastic!!!!!!!

[@y9xda]

❤

[@wizewoods9130]

wow, I had goose bumps,this is soooo good thank you

[@larrythrasher3788]

His voice got better as he aged.

[@gibby6904]

These are musicians kids....

[@philsantafe7877]

I didn't know the bad guy from no country for old men can play a guitar that good

[@hippopotamus8966]

BAND IDEAL: vocals: Robert Plant. Guitarr:Jimi hendrix. bass: Leo Lyons. Drums:Don Brewer. Keyboards: Keith Emerson.

[@maggienicholson115]

Did any one of you see "The Band perform at Luther Burbank Center many years back? Please let me know what year that was?????

[@davidscott3202]

Dose this bass player live or work in Corona California across from the Fender guitar factory ? I met a guy that said to me "Tell them Lincoln sent Ya "just wondering??

[@markrodgers2976]

Wow. The Thumbs-Down-Douche-Brigade even struck here ?

[@theburnhams2925]

Four doth not a "brigade" make....

[@TheRacboys]

Ophelia Shakespeare

[@custerranch]

You could have edited out Levon wiping away what was probably coughed up blood after the song...

[@rockdoggblg9086]

Who's the bass player? Love him, awesome!

[@keithfoster9022]

The band is a Daly play .
