After this concert, The Band disbanded.😢 RIP Robbie Robertson.
I believe you were looking for 'Playing for change ' . Always such great productions!
Rory the version you were thinking of was the "Playing For Change" They have many Great Videos with great artist from around the world
What a tremendous singing in this song!
The Band and The Staples together on this occasion put this performance on another level...
RIP Robbie Robertson...
Fabulous! Rick Danko is one of my favorites singers.
same!!
ricks voice is completely beautiful and unique!!
This was the last time The Band played together. Martin Scorsese made this film of the last show. The Last Waltz
The Last Waltz was fined in 1978, chronicling the last performance of the band before they split up.
started out as The Hawks backing Ronnie Hawkins then Dylan and morphed into The Band. There has never been another group anything like them! Long live Garth Hudson
Four Canadians and one American creating the genre of music called Americana!
One of my favorite Bands. Favorite song.
This entire movie is amazing! One of the greatest live performance films ever made.
100% agree, in my family it’s a Christmas tradition to watch this every Christmas Day.
This whole show is great you should watch the whole thing.
I Shall Be Released as the closer is just incredible, too. Cry my eyes out every time.
Especially when Rick sings it at Richard funeral or memorial.
Mostly Canadians.
Yup, 4 out of 5
Van Morrison has a great moment on here as well.
Van just owns the stage.
Hard to believe only Garth Hudson is left.
BTW if you do not get goosebumps when Mavis sings you might be dead
Playing for Change is the name of the video with Ringo and Robbie.
Thanks brother loved it.
Have you ever witnessed 2 groups performing music on a stage where it is so damned easy , natural and so incredibly enjoyable to watch ? The Band and The Staple Singers doing their thing on stage some 46 years ago ,set the bar so high that other groups need a helicopter ride to try and reach and emulate their achievements . I cant think of a comparison to what happened all those years ago as the complete summit of the highest mountain was reached and conquered . Glowing and brilliant ....
Check out Van Morrisons performance from Last Waltz
Van singing Caravan and Band backing him
You need to check out this movie, The Last Waltz, lot's of great artists.
Beautiful! This performance was from 1976, I believe. Check out a performance by "Playing for Change" from 2019 featuring musicians from around the world - including Robbie Robertson (the original songwriter) and Ringo Starr!
Great song. ❤
This is such a beloved song especially this version. Do yourself a favor and watch the documentary The Last Waltz it’s their final concert amazing. Can you imagine that they and Dylan were booed on the stage for plugging in. Booing The Band/ Dylan WTF
I love opening of this song
Nazareth is reference to town in Pennsylvania where Martin Guitars are made
Band split at height of their careers in 75 or 76
Their last concert was filmed by Martin Scorsese
Released as Last Waltz
Everyone was invited and everyone showed up
Dylan , Neil Young , Joni Mitchel , Van Morrison , Eric Clapton , Muddy Waters , etc etc
A Must Watch
Ons last fact
Dylan asked Mavis Staple to mary him , it just didn’t work ouut
Awesome performance!
Another video suggestion
Compare Long Black Veil
The Band version vs Nick Cave version
Oh also this was another last tour that didn't take, although I can't really recall how long it was before they played again. Could be wrong but that's how I remember it.
After The Last Waltz, Robbie didn't play with them anymore. The other 4 members did do some concerts, and from I have seen on Utube they are pretty good, especially when Rick Danko is singing, but not quit the same as when Robbie was part of the group, he after all wrote most of the songs, and played killer guitar. Not to downplay the other members, they were all great.
Thanks for the clarification!
Your smiles, head shakes and "mmm"s say it all - this song and band just hits your soul. It is truly a timeless masterpiece!
Actually this version is a studio version not live. It was recorded during the production of the Album The Last Waltz from the movie of the same name. Some of the members of The Band were pissed off at Robbie for including some acts (Like Niel Diamond which Robbie just happend to be producing an album for at the time) and leaving out others that really had an influence on them like the Staples Singers. They produced a studio version with The Staples Singers that looked like a live performance so it would fit in with the live theam of the Album/Concert. Personally, this is undoubtedly the best version of The Weight I've heard.
This information was from Levon Helms book, This Wheels On Fire.
Oh my, do yourself a favor and check out the whole concert!
Right at the end is unfortunate on this as Mavis Staples whispers "Beautiful" and it's inaudible because of what sounds like static (you can hear it in the actual film The Last Waltz). She's expressing her own reaction to the perfect take of this iconic and timeless song.
Another Dylan connection here is the female singer Mavis Staples. She has was in a relationship with Bob Dylan for 7 years and he actually proposed to her and she turned him down because she had just gotten her first big record contract and didn't want to be tied down. She later said it was one of the regrets of her life and that he was “the love that I lost.”
Gareth Hudson is still alive,he was classically trained he can play any instrument, the last waltz is the greatest concert ever filmed.
You’re thinking of Playing for Change.
If you like this bluesy kind of music, find Elvin Bishop's song "Fooled Around and Fell in Love." Mickey Thomas sings it and Elvin plays a fabulous guitar solo. Mickey has one of the best voices ever in Rock and Roll.
please do "it makes no difference" from this same concert the last waltz
thanks rory :)
“It Makes No Difference” is one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard.
@@sklthedful
agreed!
and rick is one of my favorite vocalist ♡
I appreciate how you like the songs of different types. Keep it up man
Oohh my goodness, music from my hippie days!! 🌺🏵️🌼LIVE AID? * i can hear the kids playing outside your place. Totally Awesome music and band!! Have you reacted to Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young Rory? " I Almost Cut My Hair". Jessie James and Billy The Kid? I love Westerns 🤠 Awesome reaction Rory and thank you Chris for awesome request 😊💓🤘✌️
They are all gone now. Robbie Robertson (the guy playing the double necked guitar) died just last week, he has been the lone survivor for a coulpe of years. Find the movie made about them and Bob Dylan called "The Last Waltz." ITs a Rocumentary of a few Band, and artists, with a big part devoted to "The Band."
Thanks
Garth Hudson is still alive.
@@sklthedful
yeah, how they forget garth 😭
Not the lone survivor, Garth Hudson is still alive.
The last clip of "That Old Time Religion" is hilarious and Rick looks so sexy in his leather jacket.
The whole doc is great but it was difficult time for the group. Robertson wanted out of the group; too much drug addition and mental illness for him; he set up the movie idea with Scorsese but the rest of the Band didn't want it to be "The Last Waltz" , so there was a lot of animosity toward Robertson. I glanced at the other comments . To my knowledge, Garth Hudson is still alive and the last with us from the Band.
You should react to some more staples
They started young. Robbie wrote his first songs when he was 15./16 for Ronnie Hawkins. Robbie, Richard and Rick was all born in 1943, Levon and Garth ar are a little older. The went out on their own in 1968 after being a back for Dylan for a few years. As for their clothing. before The Last Waltz Robbie suggested they hit a vintage clothing shop. Garth and Levon declined. Levon just wanted to wear something cool, since it would be hot under the lights. Richard chose a checkered suit, Rick a vest, which he is wearing here, and Robbie a pin stripe kind of formal jacket and the read silk scarf, he looks very dapper, as does Rick.
Real music.
End of.
Toronto band!
