I'm 70, this is my music. I get a flood of emotions listening to you guys do music from that era. You're recording, video are excellent. It's fun to see you all crammed in wherever you are and make such beautiful music. You are all blessed to have found each other. That alone is a miracle.
That means too much to us Bob... we’re so glad :)
@@LowDarts Bob! It is EVERYONE's music. Great stuff, and well done.
So many groups serve this classic number so very poorly. But, NOT the Low Darts! This performance is an absolute gem!
Glad you think so!
Agreed. It's the only ensemble without Levon Helm that I've seen do the song justice.
This ensemble is great for many reasons. They don't just "do" covers. They capture the essential greatness of the original and make it their own. That's talent and dedication to the craft. What an amazing tribute to The Band!
Levon would have loved you guys... I mean Levon loves you guys where he is now.
Levon would be proud!!!
So true
I wish I could give a thumbs up every time I listen to this video. You can't imagine how much old timers like me enjoy watching you guys (that's a non binary label from my generation) play this song. I was your age when this song first came out. Keep up the great work and I hope that you are all enjoying life.
Thanks Robert!
Love the work you guys do. Solid musicianship and great vocals. You give me hope!
You just made my day, and I am much older than you guys. Beautiful, well done!!!
Lovely, wonderful; enjoying the youthful vocals & clear note playing
Like so many other old fans of The Band, I wanted to add my 2 cents - saw them in concert in Miami Beach, 1970. Have all their music, read all their books…so I am familiar with The Band and you guys did righteous justice to the cover. I’ll try to check out more of your music. Wish you lots of success and enjoyment playing together…making memories!
This mix is so clean. Everything is balanced, drums are punchy and phat. Guitar is crisp, vocals pop out, amazing job!
Are you kidding me??? 🤣🤣 You guys are freaking awesome!!!
This is one of my favorite songs. 👏👏👏
I'm an Americana guy, so I am especially heartened by this great performance: Great arrangement, great vocals, great execution. Now, challenge yourselves by performing China Cat Sunflower of the Grateful Dead.
It's very cool to see two news singers, congrats to all the team ! 👏🏻
I got chills when Sydney comes in. Awesome.
I appreciate so much that these kids are doing such great old tunes. I am dismayed that with 8,600 views that they only have 270 likes. This is an effort from the heart. It's a shame that we don't appreciate it more.
Most people have lost real music
Fantastic! You are reaching a lot of us old timers. The good music legacy continues.
Love these kids
Wonderful
Ir's awesome to see younguns appreciate and perform the classics from back in the day. This is the music we lived life to, loved to. Great job, kids!
Wow amazing cover
These guys are fantastic.
you get good by playing the classics, that's the formula
I love how everyone gets a shot at singing this...the way it was meant to be done. I am now am a fan of these talented kids and I subscribed. Looking forward to more.
It's "The Last Waltz " revisited! Robbie and The Band would be proud!
It is so nice to see youths taking to this music. And performing it so exquisitely. Brings tears to an old man's eyes.
Whoa!! When the girl started singing, two performers came to mind, Mazzy Star and Ellie Goulding. Sounding pretty good. Also, can't tell you just how much I enjoy hearing these old hits being performed by Low Darts -- super sweet.
The casual nature in which you all deliver finery of perfect quality to ours ears shall never be disrespected in my presence. Dang.
All i can say is WOW! The band would be proud, Sebastians vocals were spot on!
Another great one! If any fan of the band hasn't heard it, check out their lesser known live album "rock of ages" it's a masterpiece. this cover does the song proper justice! keep having fun playing and recording together guys!
I don't know how this collection of "old souls" came to be but keep it up. Kind of fitting you are play this in "the basement". When The Band became The Band and came out with "Music from from Big Pink" that is where they made this song and so many others. Listened to a bunch of your other covers- all great. Steely Dan's My Old School another favorite. Keep it up. Hope to see more and see you make it. And who ever or whatever turned you on to this great music the result is fantastic. Hope many of friends discover it through you.
Great job! I’ve shared this TH-cam link with friends on Facebook, just spreading the joy. Hope you’re all doing well and keeping healthy. All the best and looking forward to more of your music.
y'all do a solid respectful job on these covers, congrats on the musical execution. You might be young, but you leave nothing to be desired for the listener. Keep up the awesome work.
You guys continue to amaze me how you give these old songs justice. I started to learn this song when I first started to learn guitar… so this song also hit me with stack of emotional feelings and thoughts.. thank you guys and gal.. keep up this great work..
This might be my favorite! Thanks guys... and girl! Rock on kiddos! Emmylou Harris would be proud. Nevermind the Staples.
Super impressive, ya'll. One of the greatest bands of all-time. The Weight is fabulous, but dive into their songbook and you'll find a treasure of great tracks. The studio albums are great, but if I could only have one album of The Band's it would have to be Rock of Ages. A live album recorded over several nights the last few days of 1971. Thanks again for the excellent work.
Love Sebastian's hat!
One of my favorite songs of all time, has great meaning to me. Everyone did a fantastic job but an extra shout out to the cat who sang the third verse ! That soulful growl, very nice ! Awesome job all the way around , kudos
Luke says thanks!
Robbie Robertson would say WOW
Nice to see that sweet acoustic piano getting some love! Another incredible cover, great job!
Fantastic ! You've all got beautiful voices ! And your musical skills are top notch ! I used to go to sleep listening to The Band, which is not to say I had insomnia or they were boring. It's just great lying in bed listening to beautiful music. My favorite was Stage Fright. Hopefully, a more recent video will come up on You Tube to let us know how far you've all progressed in your musical career. All the best !
The collective talent you all have is just extraordinary. There is something really special about you all. Keep the great music coming.
Congratulations! I hope all of you feel proud of yourselves. Your dedication and talent shines in each one of you.
What a fantastic rendition of this classic song. I look forward to every video. Thanks for the tremendous music you make.
I love this. Seeing y’all gathered up close like you are in this video I am reminded of how The Band we’re holed up in a house in Upstate N.Y. when they originally recorded this masterpiece. Beautiful stuff
You all are killing it. Absolutely can’t wait to hear more, just binged most of the covers.
Great to hear vocals from Sebastian and Luke. Piano is outstanding. Each of your contributions are superb. Can’t wait to show my friends this video.
Every time, my friends. So good. Your talent just makes my day. Much love and respect from the west coast.
You guys continue to amaze. Someone get these guys on Jimmy Fallon or Ellen or something. Also, please consider covering Harborcoat by REM. Keep ’em coming!
I know you all worked very hard to put this together but it just seems effortless. It’s so great! Keep it up!
You win. You have a new fan. I grew up on this music. You guys do it great justice. 😁
3 years ago? I'm a bit late the party... but WOW! This is my favourite performance of what I've seen from you guys.... and i JUST discovered you today!
yes, I just was going to say the thing. At least we came to the party!
The piano player’s hat is a nice touch
Thanks!
the best song ever by the band the weight
You are all really good!!
Those vocal harmonies, wow. Just wow.
All I have to say is wow and holy cow, that was perfect.
Another very fine cover, thanks! And I'll bite: what happened in Oquossoc, Maine in 1964?? Inquiring minds and all that...
We’ll confess we don’t know... 40 years before our time, anyway haha
You guys do a great job. Thanks for sharing your covers you guys are AWESOME !!
Awesome. Just stumbled across your videos. As many others have said, I'm an old guy and you play my music. Love it.
hey guys...very good job...absolutely talented musicians. Done great !!!
Great job everyone!
Mind blown! I would rather see you perform the the originals! that is saying something! Young blood with old school values....Very rare! And doing the music the proper justice it deserves .....!!! Incredible!
Thank you!
Wonderful
You guys make me SMILE love it
Happy to see you’ve recorded it in the original key. So many take the easy way out in G. Sounds great too. Really enjoy your videos.
Boing Boing brought me. Great job.
Thanks for the heads up Seth. Just checked out the write up!
My regards to the Low Darts. This is one of my favorite songs to play. You all did it complete justice. The Band would be proud. Keep jammin’ and putting out beloved covers. Rock on 🤘.
This is absolutely phenomenal!
That is one beautiful upright piano, beautifully played.
This makes me want to hear your version of Signs from The Five Man Electrical Band.
You made my day with this song,i love it❤️cheers from Napoli Italy
Ахринительно ! Вы перенесли меня на машине времени в 1969 год на фестиваль Вудсток ! Cool ! You transported me in a time machine to 1969 at the Woodstock festival!
Group Vocals and Harmonies are Spot On!!! Congrats on ALL Your Work!!
Accurate guitar intro - nice work!!
Awesome! Keep it up! See you on American Idol someday!!❤
Absolutely wonderful. What Bob and the others have said below. I'm 75 and this song is one of my favorites: your vigorous and meticulous rendering has given it new life. You are so full of talent and youthful energy, you always make me smile. Count me as a major fan!
Wow, all! Incredible. I play this w my 11 yr old a lot. We love singing this together
It's just amazing to me to see such talented performers wearing braces on their teeth. And as usual, the editing of this video is spot on.
Sounds great!
Great version, thanks for posting!
Not bad- lol just kidding it’s great
I got chills from listening to this. Beautiful!
Love your take on this classic with a round-the-band mic - way to go Low Darts!!
Really, really well done! Keep up the good work!
Really like that you all sang a verse - I think the rhythm section should sing more often
You guys always do so well, loved this, find your inner bossa nova, and set your selfs free.
Sweet bass fills and killer harmonies. I dig it.
You guys are simply awesome!
Amazing cover. One of my favorite tunes of all time. Piano sounds great too
Brilliant cover. How old?! Oh my - I feel better about the future already. Subbed. Keep doing what you're doing.
Thanks Rob! We will!
Oh yea! That was fantastic. Keep it going!!
Great job guys! You really captured the feel and subtleties of the song.
This is so awesome. Almost looks like you were all over at the Pink house. Original was recorded in a very similar set-up.
Cool!
Love the Oquossoc, Maine T shirt. Welcome back after your break, you guys are so talented!
Beautiful !!! am from Germany 61 yeahrs old and this is my music. I can hear it always during the day. Thanks for our music
Incredible as always. Keep up the outstanding work!
Love this song! You guys are so good!
So the dark haired kid looked a little uncomfortable but holy shit.... He rocked out! I'm so amazingly blown away by all of you guys. So rad to have young artists that love older hippie type songs. And just nail it! You guys are going to be a more amazing the longer you stay together and I hope you do because it's you guys are like pretty incredible right now I'm very proud of you
Very cool! Great to hear so many of you guys singing.....separate and in the harmonies....Go Low Darts! This song has a rustic feel and you guys nailed it...
