@@Karmakatt6 Hard to pick a favorite performance, but seeing Janis, Jerry, Bobby and Danko singing “Ain’t No More Cane” on the train had me grinning ear to ear.
When I saw the Band live in the 1970’s at UC Santa Barbara, this song stood out for me and made me appreciate Richard Emanuel so much. I was shocked and hurt when I heard years later of his suicide.such a soulful singer
Life has been really tough lately and I've lost my relationships with many people close to me this past year, but i'll always have the band. I listen to the band nearly every single day and the music always makes me feel better. Thank you, Richard, Rick, Robbie, Levon, and Garth. Thank you for the tunes. RIP Richard, Robbie, Rick, and Levon. This music never fails to cheer me up and give me a reason to keep going.
I discovered these guys just days before this at overnight camp. I still remember putting on the brown album, hearing Across the Great Divide for the first time. Almost 53 fucking years later they're still my go to music. The Band!
Truly a "heart & soul" human being and artist. Richard's given the world so much love and his music "loves on" in a wealth of recordings, videos, and in the millions of musicians he's inspired. The iconic tragedy of musicians, addiction, hurt Richard horribly. Alcohol, tobacco, cocaine, pot, heroine, meth... he and the Band were enabled by family, friends, and the music industry, to the point they could not work together; they endangered each other & their loved ones; myriad DWI injury accidents; and they started dying much too young. When will we learn to speak up instead of enabling? -Doug Pratt, Atlanta, Georgia, USA
To all the band who died rest in peace you guys really inspired this 41 year old man into music thank you to the band rest in peace Robbie, Rick Levon, Richard thanks again
It's crazy we have the technology to re-watch anything we want like this and I'm not sure how I feel about that...but that part starting at 3:07 is so beautiful where they trade off and I can't stop watching it.
You should watch the clip of Levon and John Simon "the making of Rockin' Chair" that's usually in the sidebar. It's the best clip from that whole documentary, at least in some ways (it's all pretty damn cool, I find); Levon and John give you a real sense of the dynamics between all 3 vocalists and they both talk about that trade off. I've said forever, I want this song played at my "celebration of life" (even though I have nothing to do with old Virginny or working on the ocean). I really don't know how a kid 25-26 years old, as Robbie was when he wrote this, can have such an understanding of getting old. Between him and John Prine's "Hello in There", they've said it all, seems to me.
Studio version has acoustic guitar. Sometimes when you play live you just have to make due with the instrument in your hand. Still a great rendition of this song.

Richard Manuel. A beautiful tragic soul. What a fabulous collection of musicians they were.
The range on Richard's voice is awesome...baritone to falsetto.
Wonderfully gifted musicians. Richard really shines in this performance.

What a beautiful, beautiful voice and version of this song !
Sometimes I feel. This hill's to steep to climb
And the days that remain ain't worth a dime

Who else could have sung this song this well!
One of the best songs ever.
Their music is beyond description. Pure magic.
Best band EVER! They burned out way to soon. Miss them Sooo much
A wonderful song for the now departed Robbie Robertson (RIP)
Richard leading is the best.
I was in upstate NY the day Richard left the world. What an imaginative, sensitive, massively gifted man. RIP always
To all the band who died rest in peace you guys really inspired this 41 year old man into music thank you to the band rest in peace Robbie, Rick Levon, Richard thanks again
You mean Levon Helm?
@@JamesConley1234 yes
Back to the 8-track in my childhood bedroom. Such an emotive and brilliant band.
Brilliant! Thanks for posting. Love the harmonies and the spirit of this song.
This song is just a freaking killer.
Best Band ever.....they're getting better with the years...

What's the downside? It's what's so great about TH-cam.

Brings chills❤
So wonderful.
So beautiful.
Beautiful!
Wow! So talented!
Love to see Levon on mandolin
Sweet Richard is in top form.
Thank you for this!
非常棒的版本，希望微博营销号别转去墙内恰烂钱了，谢谢
Richard my favorite
RICHARD!
It won’t be too long till Garth joins the rest of them in heaven. I hope they’ll play for me and the missus, when I get there! Their the best.
I can’t believe they’re all gone, except for Garth.
The electric guitar doesn't fit, a nice acoustic part would have fitted better.
Studio version has acoustic guitar. Sometimes when you play live you just have to make due with the instrument in your hand. Still a great rendition of this song.
God bless you, Richard.
