never knew the band existed until 1991.fell in love with there backwoods allmost appalacian approach to music.allmost like how one would consider credence clearwater revival with southern swamp music.even thought they were from california.
This performance for me was a huge factor as one of the main reasons why Robbie Robertson wanted to stop touring with The Band ? If the engine blew 'a gasket ' for example ,then the entire heart of the group was seriously affected in the quality dept and to be honest ,they sounded horrible . I know hindsight is as accurate as you can get ,but if certain members of The Band had the smarts to take a step back and scrutinize their lifestyles back then , i believe The Band would have made wonderful music in the studio after The Last Waltz with the original lineup . Addiction is brutal and horrendous !
The older i get the more i love THE BAND
Me too

Any gig that has Richard Manuel in is amazing by default
Ok...THIS is the BEST LIVE version of this SONG !
When music was really music
Levon’s drumming is great even when he’s singing. His ride cymbal cuts through nicely also.
Beautiful,Masters at work!!!
This is awesome. Big Pink was one of my first albums, bought it in 1970.
Just went to the big pink house this week in Saugerties NY looks the same
Love how the composer is lurking in the shadows.
nice!
Great great great
@ 2:15 when levon comes in. Mighty fine playing
Sadly, Richard's voice was in the process of deteriorating.

Should have handed the lead vocal chore to another band member.
