Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, and Richard Manuel will go down in history as some of the most accomplished and capable musicians to ever play rock 'n roll.
I went to the Movie in Toronto, Canada, with my brother in law,😊I felt like I was in the concert . I came from a big family n my big sister, helped me go out to see them. I was in my teens . My brother in law. Let me light J .’ Next thug we were all passing
Rest well, Robbie Robertson. Thank you for writing this brilliant piece of musical art and to you and The Band for sharing it with us. Emmylou Harris's performance here is nothing less than perfection. Requiescat in Pace, Robbie.
Seriously, Emmylou will you marry me? If you watch the entire show, notice how the Band all switch instruments on various songs, a completely talented group of people. I love how at the end of this song they keep rolling as they just all walk away.
music that was forged by the road ,Levon , Rick , Garth ,Richard ,Robbie, put in the hard yard over the years ,the songs played and sung ,a gift for us all, forget every thing else ,if you are watching this thank TheBand purveyors of no frills ,no gimmick just a special sound We will always be able to relive THE BAND
Love this stuff ... The Band members playing other instruments ... Danko sawing the fiddle mountain style, Levon on the mandolin .... great vocals all around ... Emmylou is the voice of God.
The talent is mind blowing. Whether with the Staples Singers or Emily Lou Harris. Never will happen again. They tell a STORY ABOUT AMERICA, like nobody else could.
This is why the Band was the best. Very talented musicians on all instruments. And then put Emmylou into the mix and it sounds phenomenal. Thanx for posting this.
@@italianray69 Shut up moron! If not for Robbie none of the members would have even met dummy, nor toured with Dylan or made such great music together. So easy for people like you to sling the shit.
Gorgeous song!!! So pretty!!!! Robbie was right on the money when he called Emmylou Harris exquisite in his book !!! She looked exquisite and sounded exquisite! Fourty-five years later, she's still exquisite!!! God bless! 🙏❤️🙏
The band will forever remain the best band in the sense of the term of all time. In their music you perceive a fusion of sounds as if they were a big family and that's right. Music has to give emotions and the only way to give emotions is to have something to share together. When you live together for 16 years and share everything you have, a feeling that excites you can only arise.
I love Levon's voice, and he is perfect on The Weight and Up and Cripple Creek, but have to agree, Rick is my favorite, especially in this song, his raspy voice it perfect.@@howie9751
It depends on the song. Robbie knew who could do the most justice to his songs. Cannot imagine Levon singing "It makes no difference" or Stage Freight, those songs were made for Rick. However, I cannot imagine Rick singing Up on Cripple Creek, or The night they drove old Dixie down",@@howie9751
If you are talking about Richard Manuel he was from Canada, as was all The Band members, except for Levon Helm who was from Arkansas. Sadly Winter Park, Fl was where Richard committed suicide.@@dabprod
I love Emmylou and I love The Band. Wish Gram would’ve lived longer and jammed with them. Can you imagine him singing I shall be released during The Last Waltz?
Got that right. Whatever it took to make each song the best it could be. Rick, Richard, Levon, and Garth; nobody ever said “That’s Not My Job.” Robbie Robertson, not so much.
I'm crying baby tears right now , I don't know why but this music just gets to me !. I don't know if I'm crazy or if it's just old old age , but this song gets to me !.
A group of us saw Emmylou's first concert. Late 1967, she sang and played in a small field with no stage or electronics. Just her and about 40 of us in Topanga Canyon. A beautiful day; we sat in the dried grass and listened to her (in the dark ages before cell phones, etc. we went to each other's homes and spread the word she was going to play).
This is the only song in the movie that as not cut at the concert, but filmed on a sound stage. The movie featured the greatest collection of musicians alive ! It still has not been surpassed !
One of the best songs ever, agreed! And Emmylou Harris looks like an angel just descended from above, in that simple blue dress, beautiful, pure, sweet and talented, I can only imagine all the guys from the band falling like crazy for her, who wouldn't?
"Evangeline" [Intro] She stands on the bank of the mighty Mississippi Alone in the pale moonlight Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler Said that he'd return tonight They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi Lovin' the whole night through 'Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing And bring it on back to you. Evangeline, Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen That pulled her man away. Bayou Sam, from South Louisian' Had gambling in his veins Evangeline, from the Maritimes Was slowly goin' insane. High on the top of Hickory Hill She stands in the lightnin' and thunder Down on the river the boat was a-sinkin' She watched that queen go under Evangeline, Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen That pulled her man away. Evangeline, Evangeline Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen That pulled her man away.
I miss those guys. It kills me when people say "who" when I mention The Band; even people who were around in those days like me. Let's keep their music going. So long to Richard, Rick and the incomparable Levon Helms!
@Ergreenthumb Kudos to you for finding & enjoying old gold. I bought 'The Band' album in 1969 while living in Germany, & still have the vinyl! Imagine our hippie parties back then! There was musical magic in those days. 'The Last Waltz' graciously captures that era of music & many of its great musicians inside & outside The Band. It makes me cry too! Such beauty! Such goosebumps! Such a long time ago.
superb performance-the 60's and 70's were excellent for many genres of music. unfortumately, quality songs like this one went from few and far between to almost non-existent these days.
This is the best band ever. They are all so talented on many levels. Some people think the Beatles were the greatest but they were not even close though I do love their musict
Emmylou Harris is captivating and hypnotic. I can't take my eyes off of her. She's so poised and graceful, and relaxed, very natural. If I let myself, I could sit and watch her videos all day long on TH-cam.
Definately a bass overdub because no one but Rick could be playing that way and he is playing the fiddle too! Emmylou is the most lovely mammal of all time. Nobody else even comes close. Always loved how she wore a blue dress for this. I saw the Band three or four times and always got knocked out by them. I used this song to launch a boat that I built and will build another boat named "Emmylou." I'd like to name one "Evangeline" but that ain't lucky!
Preciosa música y letra. Nunca me canso de oírla. Hace muchos años vi la película recuerdo las entrevistas, el porque se retiraban, todo el escenario austero pero impecable. Fue fantástico . Nunca la olvidaré.
Emmylou Harris voice, coated all over those voices like a fine sauce, making the entire recipe worth making. A womans voice is such pleasant gift to a mans open hearted sentimental idaes in song. Like silk on an axe handle, her voice makes it all glide home.
Ya know what makes this song even more wonderful? For a literature geek like me anyway. . .is that Emmylou looks just like Evangeline is described in Longfellow's poem.
Such a lovely song! This man had troubles and yet could sing a song so appropriate to his struggles. It's a somber expression, a Ray Charles tone so clear; but, all his own. "You don't know me". That's what my X wife said! This tune is dynamic and well expressed. I hurt for this man's struggle.

I would say it's over a decade since I listened to this track but Levon Helms voice in particular stick with me. I remember a previous comment on this that I thought was really funny. Paraphrased; Levon Helm seems like the kind of guy who could fix your fence :)

Mississippi boy here, I have requested this song to be played at my funeral
Sometimes I can't even take how good The Band is...
There is something magical right t
Always love them 💕
One of a kind, a class of their own. You would understand if you ever seen/heard them.
Keith Richards talked shit on them for playing too close to their recordings. Yeah you limey fuck. They were musiciansz
The Band! Greatest group ever. I fell in love when I first heard The Weight Wayne Fouche RSA
Robbie Robertson, Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, and Richard Manuel will go down in history as some of the most accomplished and capable musicians to ever play rock 'n roll.
Louisiana 73 yr old and loving this music in 2024 like it was yesterday
76 here and still listening....
Kudos to Scorsese for having the vison and wisdom to capture The Band's greatness before they disbanded.
The Band disbanded. ☹️
That was clearly sad damn day
No kidding, and the way he pulled it off was incredible.
And started to die off.
retired..not disbanded..I just retired after 55 years...not dead ..waiting for a new challenge
I went to the Movie in Toronto, Canada, with my brother in law,😊I felt like I was in the concert . I came from a big family n my big sister, helped me go out to see them. I was in my teens . My brother in law. Let me light J .’ Next thug we were all passing
They did this on the first take. No rehearsal. Pure talent all around.
RIP Robbie and Co. Thanks for the wonderful music
Doesn't get any better one of the greatest bands with one of the greatest female vocalist..
Rest well, Robbie Robertson. Thank you for writing this brilliant piece of musical art and to you and The Band for sharing it with us. Emmylou Harris's performance here is nothing less than perfection. Requiescat in Pace, Robbie.
Rest in peace The Band lives on in their music
Only Garth remains alive.
Another beautifully written classic by Robbie, wonderfully performed by the Boys of the Band and Emmylou...! It doesn't get any better, folks!
Rick Danko at his best with that souful raspy voice. Can't get enough of him.
@@hannejeppesen1809
Yes! Rick & Lavon were my favorites. Garth was also great addition.
The musical geniuses all gone now.Miss them. RIP BAND
Garth Hudson is still alive
These treasures shouldn't have to see how effed up the world is today
I love the way The Band would play musical chairs on their instruments. You never knew who was gonna end up playing what.
Parents, if your children are interested in music, please share this video with them, this is an excellent performance of a most beautiful tune.
Absolutely spectactular!!! Levon Helm has always been an inspiration to me, but these guys together and with Emmylou is just magic.
The last waltz is the best music DVD i have ever seen. Everyone should watch it 4 they will love.
One of my favorite DVD's of any kind.
My favorite song. Gets me going in the morning; play it 3-5 times back to back .
Emmylou Harris - the voice of an angel with a face to match.
ñ
I bet she's a cute bum as well
Cute and well ridden. Has that look about her.
And an awesome rack
Seriously, Emmylou will you marry me? If you watch the entire show, notice how the Band all switch instruments on various songs, a completely talented group of people. I love how at the end of this song they keep rolling as they just all walk away.
Two of the best singers in Rock 'n' Roll, Levon Helm and Rick Danko!
My college roommate turned me into the band in 1977 thank god for my long years Damn good music
i'm still a child and i can't think of even listening to my generation's music! thank god tunes like this aren't forgotten
music that was forged by the road ,Levon , Rick , Garth ,Richard ,Robbie, put in the hard yard over the years ,the songs played and sung ,a gift for us all, forget every thing else ,if you are watching this thank TheBand purveyors of no frills ,no gimmick just a special sound We will always be able to relive THE BAND
Emmylou Harris has perhaps one of the most beautiful voices I've ever heard - and the The Band were in top form in that Last Waltz !
Love this stuff ... The Band members playing other instruments ... Danko sawing the fiddle mountain style, Levon on the mandolin .... great vocals all around ... Emmylou is the voice of God.
Richard's drums are always fun to see.
The talent is mind blowing. Whether with the Staples Singers or Emily Lou Harris. Never will happen again. They tell a STORY ABOUT AMERICA, like nobody else could.
@@edcaples5731 Yet almost all of them were Canadians.
This is why the Band was the best. Very talented musicians on all instruments. And then put Emmylou into the mix and it sounds phenomenal. Thanx for posting this.
never seen her before not into country but i'l tell you i am going to be checking her stuff out now,she's incredible in this song
+Trev Mac check out some songs she did with Gram Parsons
oka,thanks
Trev Mac well, did you check her out yet, you've had a year now
Perhaps most impressive...and it is already extremely impressive...the song was written the day before this was filmed.
The Band is certainly one of the most talented groups of all time.
Escutei pela primeira vez a 40 anos não me canso de ouvir esta banda mais emylou e fantástico
Always brings back the memories of the very first weeks at university. When I had a smile on my face, friends to smile about
The Band were THE Band! I don´t see many of such talented musicians around these days ... What a pity!
As was the Nitty Gritty Dirt band. :)
All but Robbie. Great writer, lousy musician. lol
@@italianray69 Shut up moron! If not for Robbie none of the members would have even met dummy, nor toured with Dylan or made such great music together. So easy for people like you to sling the shit.
One of my very favorite pieces of music ever.
VERY best version of this song! So much talent on that stage! Best band EVER! Emmylou is fantastic! RIP Levon Richard ,and Rick
Gorgeous song!!! So pretty!!!! Robbie was right on the money when he called Emmylou Harris exquisite in his book !!! She looked exquisite and sounded exquisite! Fourty-five years later, she's still exquisite!!! God bless! 🙏❤️🙏
Man, THIS is music. Juxtapose this with the top-40 music of today, and it's truly a sad sight.
"The Last Waltz" was an amazing film and am glad that I can enjoy it again. Pure grace.
Love Rick Danko's voice.
never really knew who the guy was until about 3 years ago.
He's incredible
the finest version of this great song
The Band. Emmylou. 'nuff said.
The Band. Emmylou. Nuff said.
I do so love to hear Emily Harris and the band sing Evangeline!
The band will forever remain the best band in the sense of the term of all time.
In their music you perceive a fusion of sounds as if they were a big family and that's right.
Music has to give emotions and the only way to give emotions is to have something to share together.
When you live together for 16 years and share everything you have, a feeling that excites you can only arise.
oh my,
Awesome
Dankos voice is perfectly suited to this song. Amazing piece of music. Love it.
Yes but Levon's is even better.
I love Levon's voice, and he is perfect on The Weight and Up and Cripple Creek, but have to agree, Rick is my favorite, especially in this song, his raspy voice it perfect.@@howie9751
It depends on the song. Robbie knew who could do the most justice to his songs. Cannot imagine Levon singing "It makes no difference" or Stage Freight, those songs were made for Rick. However, I cannot imagine Rick singing Up on Cripple Creek, or The night they drove old Dixie down",@@howie9751
Man that part when Emmy comes in and sings "lovinnn the whole night through"... tingles up and down my spine.
I love this song...Garth Hudson was always one of my musical heroes.
Where have I been!! Never heard this before and it is delightful.
We miss you Rick Danko, Richard Manuel &Levon Helm
Richard died in my home town it so sad rip Richard, Rick ,and Levon I wish music was still like this
i love all three of them
Richard was from Winter Park FL....?
No, he hanged himself from a shower curtain rod in a motel room while they were touring there.
How sad. 😩
If you are talking about Richard Manuel he was from Canada, as was all The Band members, except for Levon Helm who was from Arkansas. Sadly Winter Park, Fl was where Richard committed suicide.@@dabprod
Another reason to love Canada 🇨🇦❤
And Rompin' Ronnie Hawkins, may he rest in peace.
I love Emmylou and I love The Band. Wish Gram would’ve lived longer and jammed with them. Can you imagine him singing I shall be released during The Last Waltz?
I can indeed imagine that! 🤠
Interesting to see Levon on the mandolin, Richard on the drums & Rick on the fiddle... RIP boys.
don't forget Rick ,r.i.p
Very nice observation. It just shows their versatility doesnt it?
@@tompaul2591 Pound for pound the most talented group ever, IMO
Got that right. Whatever it took to make each song the best it could be. Rick, Richard, Levon, and Garth; nobody ever said “That’s Not My Job.” Robbie Robertson, not so much.
@@jimcoco677 other than to write the song
Absolutely stupendous.i am not even sure if that word does this justice .
Love hearing this Music when drawing or painting moves my soul for peace an art.
They are Amazing .. Thank You "The Band"...
I'm crying baby tears right now , I don't know why but this music just gets to me !. I don't know if I'm crazy or if it's just old old age , but this song gets to me !.

I've listened to this a hundred times and never heard that before. Cool.
Such a brilliant performance from a brilliant film. Love it
This is the only song in the movie that as not cut at the concert, but filmed on a sound stage. The movie featured the greatest collection of musicians alive ! It still has not been surpassed !
I think The Weight is the same way. I can’t remember if there are any others.
I'm not even sure Woodstock had this much talent.
One of the best songs ever, agreed! And Emmylou Harris looks like an angel just descended from above, in that simple blue dress, beautiful, pure, sweet and talented, I can only imagine all the guys from the band falling like crazy for her, who wouldn't?
Thanks fellas, your were / are “ THE “ Band
These guys were truly The Band.
It didn't get any better than this! R.I.P. Rick Danko!.🙏 (buried at Woodstock) ✌😎
"Evangeline"
[Intro]
She stands on the bank of the mighty Mississippi
Alone in the pale moonlight
Waitin' for a man, a riverboat gambler
Said that he'd return tonight
They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
Lovin' the whole night through
'Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing
And bring it on back to you.
Evangeline, Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
That pulled her man away.
Bayou Sam, from South Louisian'
Had gambling in his veins
Evangeline, from the Maritimes
Was slowly goin' insane.
High on the top of Hickory Hill
She stands in the lightnin' and thunder
Down on the river the boat was a-sinkin'
She watched that queen go under
Evangeline, Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
That pulled her man away.
Evangeline, Evangeline
Curses the soul of the Mississippi Queen
That pulled her man away.
I miss those guys. It kills me when people say "who" when I mention The Band; even people who were around in those days like me. Let's keep their music going. So long to Richard, Rick and the incomparable Levon Helms!
Best best ever . No one or band will ever compare to the Band . Ever. They are in my heart forever.. 🙏.

Thank you Benny for introducing this movie to me...I've enjoyed it for years!!!
Time when music made sense. Unlike todays forgetful
songs.
It did not matter which genre of music The Band played ,their musicality was if the highest standard ! Quite remarkable ...
Love the Band
Since early 70s. Miss and RIP Rick Danko and Levin Helm.
Absolutely Beautiful!
Awesome 👌 what a song 🎵 👏 🙌 make me feel good all over !
what a doll an singer

Sometimes, you just don’t want the song to end
Just play it over and over again.
Been a fan since the 60s
Definately a bass overdub because no one but Rick could be playing that way and he is playing the fiddle too!
Emmylou is the most lovely mammal of all time. Nobody else even comes close. Always loved how she wore a blue dress for this.

They were so damn good its heartbreaking, many that are so missed.

The best right there of all of them
Country Rock rocks! especially this song..
Everlasting song rings through the ages, man these musicians were damn good, notice Richard playing drums Levon on the mandolin..very cool
+BBQMAN81
this video is *TOO COOL*
Such a lovely song! This man had troubles and yet could sing a song so appropriate to his struggles. It's a somber expression, a Ray Charles tone so clear; but, all his own. "You don't know me". That's what my X wife said! This tune is dynamic and well expressed. I hurt for this man's struggle.

I would say it's over a decade since I listened to this track but Levon Helms voice in particular stick with me. I remember a previous comment on this that I thought was really funny. Paraphrased; Levon Helm seems like the kind of guy who could fix your fence :)
