Rick Danko is my hero as a singer and bass player. A community musician that played for himself and for the people as it seemed to me, and I have always aspired to be. This genuine music will live long as Sam Cooke and Hank Williams his influences. A small town guy from Norfolk County, Ontario that changed rock and roll for the better, for me at least!
I really loved Danko and The Band performing this musical treasure. I have to admit that this version has nestled itself in the first position. I just enjoy singing voices together, harmonizing and everybody doing their interpretation and enjoying themselves. Music does NOT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS! I regret it has taken me so long to discover this song, I've sung and played in a pickin' and grinnin' group, and this was one of my contributions. Absolute masterpiece, the more people join in singing the better it gets. What a precious gift these videos here for so many people to enjoy big time! From the bottom of my Dutch heart I thank you for sharing this gem.❤❤❤
The version from Music from the Big Pink, and another on from 1983, both with Danko singing is better. The Big Pink one great, because that is the original Band. However the one from 1983 have the video of Rick singing which makes it better to watch.
So many voices gone yet the music remains. Thanks all for sharing your gifts.

Looks like they are all having a "Happy" time of it. Love the singing!
Rick always sang this song with that ole "sadness" in his voice.

Very nice but jeez whoever was mixing sound needed to turn down that cheezy organ sound, it dominated the entire song.
I want to smash that Casio
Not neil's fault -- obviously a board mix -- no room mics -- less options back then == view it as a historical document ...
Sad life.
