@@debcookpamunkeyGarth, if you know the bare minimum about The Band, was the main keyboardist. Watch, The Last Waltz and you’ll learn a little bit. The thought that Garth Hudson was the last surviving member crossed many people’s minds. Oh, and Robbie Robertson has been remembered a lot, the spotlight was not stolen.
Watching the news tonight, they showed a long segment on a sold-out concert tonight at Yankee Stadium: "50 Years of Hip-hop in NYC". It's gotten widespread coverage on every NY channel, media source. I kept thinking how that was never done for any other type of music or genre. What makes Hip-Hop better or more important than Jazz, Soul, R&B, Rock, etc? Ridiculous.
David Bowie, Neil Peart, Tina Turner... Now Robbie, I feel as if my youth is dying at the same time. This really hurts. Thanks Robbie for some of the most memorable moments in music you will be missed greatly.
You are so right ….I’m 64 and feel the same…..David Crosby, John Martyn , Jeff Beck all legends and now all gone . Not sure we will ever see the likes of these legends again. I’m so so glad I’m old enough now to have been young enough back then.
Another stomach churning loss...everybody needs to see the Last Waltz. Wrote the night we drove old Dixie down. So, so sad, rest in musical peace Mr. Robertson ❤.
I’ve loved this man for going on 60 years. Thank you Robbie! Thank you and the guys for the Band ,for the Red Road Ensemble, and all the rest . 💔💔💔👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 👏👏👏Rest in ☮️
Same here. The Red Ensemble was a, if not THE top favorite Album for my daughters and I as they were growing up, we would listen to it when they were creating in their coloring books and now, years later, when they come visit they say, "hey Papa put that Album on" What Joy he brought us. R.I.P Robbie
One of the few Indigenous persons to become a major success in Rock and the music business in general. An Indigenous Canadian who wrote a song about the American Civil War. His legacy and legend will live on through his music. Rock on down the crazy river, Robbie to join your pals, Levon, Rick Richard.
@@Pikearea Levon screwed Levon…but if you bothered to do the slightest amount of research, you’d know that. Two books that are friendly to Levon, “Levon” by Sandra Tooze and “Levon’s Man” by former Band Manager Joe Forno, both point out that he pissed away money like there was no tomorrow. When he built his barn/home/studio, his own father, JD, told him that he was “trying to cut too big of a hog with too small of a knife”. He routinely bought $500+ room service meals on tour, only to waste most of it. And this doesn’t factor in the money wasted on his heroin habit. Band insiders like John Simon, Johnathan Taplin, and some unknown named Ronald Cornett Hawkins have all stated that Robbie was given proper songwriting credits; Hawkins pointed out that Robbie was taking care of business while the others weren’t. Three of the others were whacked out on drugs, and Garth was in it for the music. I’m guessing that you read Levon’s book and accepted it as gospel. You should be aware that, according to Joe Forno’s book, Levon told a Fayetteville Ark paper that it was about 50% bullshit. This confirms my theory that it was rock and roll hack writer Stephen Davis (whose “biography” of Led Zeppelin was salacious in the extreme) who actually wrote the book. A cursory amount of research will show that the facts were on Robbie’s side.
Great voice. Great musician. Great lyrics. Great band. Great life. R.I.P and may his God bless him and has a special place reserved for him to keep on playing.
Thank you for all your great music with The Band and your solo tunes. One of my favorites is "Somewhere Down That Lazy River". I could listen to it over and over. I'm a proud Canadian that loves alot of Canadian music. RIP Robbie 🇨🇦❤️🌹📻🎵
May you rest in peace thank you for all this great music that you gave us I am 83 years old and I've been following you forever thank you for the music
I'm so glade to have first heard of the Band in 76 your music has shaped me more over the yrs than any other God bless bless you Robbie enjoy the loving arms of Jesus
I went through my "Band" phase. I am still amazed at the poetry behind "Night they Drove Old Dixie Down." The way they portray the meaning behind those clever lyrics. Almost like a U.S. history lesson. Rest in Peace Mr. Robertson.
To think we only got to hear a fraction of the wonderful stories Robbie had to tell us about his career and life as a musician ! He had just scratched the surface as there were so many gems that will now pass on with himself . May i convey a deep sense of gratitude to him for being such a huge part of my life albeit from an admirer's point of view on my part . I can't begin to explain how much of an inspiration Robbie Robertson became in my life from a young adult to a 62 year old fan boy . RIP my all time musical hero .
By far the best tribute to this amazing musician and songwriter i’ve seen so far - absolutely one of the greats. His music has been a touchstone for me for as long as I’ve ever heard it - nearly all of my 59 years. He will be missed - and we will keep playing his songs, because they are so good! RIP Robbie Robertson💔☮️🎸
I agree. In my earlier post I thanked them for not only including "Dixie"- arguably the highlight of The Last Waltz- but they included the entire song, not chopping it off. It made this excellent tribute complete.
Ouch. This one hurts the heart and saddens the spirit. Thank you for giving me the best soundtrack to go with my life for the shape I'm in. Salute to you, Mr Robbie Robertson. RIP
Everyone talks about The Band and that’s fully justified . But hardly anyone talks about RR solo albums like Storyville and How I became clairvoyant which are very good . Rest in peace Robbie Robertson and thank you for the great music you gave us
In 2022-2023..Maude Hudson, Hawk and now robbie. GARTH is the last of the 6.that we have....he didnt do hard drugs n booze..I spoke to their roadie of 10 years.
Canadian born, part Native American, great song writer/co writer. Mysterious fellow ....judge not unless you can forgive yourself for all our mistakes. I can't but i can say i have Loved the Band & the wonderful sharing of their music with us. Tonight, i ask the Great Spirit to welcone him home & burn sage.
My all time favourite band. If every other band disappeared it'd be ok, as long as The Band lived on. Those guys sang and played from deep within themselves, always brilliant.
My friend loved this band . He played them all the time . Im not an expert but I can hear how laid back they were. at a guess , a peoples band/ By not setting out to impress , they impressed, a so laid back music
Caught this one the other channel, thank you for the tribute. Been listening to him all morning. Another of the icons of my youth gone. RIP Robbie Robertson.
Excellent tribute to one of the most talented artists in music history, Robbie Robertson. THANK YOU for including the entire song "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" from The Last Waltz! One of the Band's best songs and one of the greatest moments in rock history. Simply stunning.
@@BeatlesCentricUniverse Same here. I hadn't seen it in years, and seeing it again- in it's entirety- blew me away. Everyone was at the top of their game; Levon never sounded better.
I have been a huge Robbie Robertson fan since the day I first heard The Band. I have had a crush on him since I was a teenager. I'm pushing 70. You will be so very missed. Thank you for making me smile
@KPIG mainstay billy see how fragile they and my suspicious sociological George Washington doctor King and been_Franky son of soap-maker HEALTH CARE. My childhood crush was a girl named "Hudson".- and we could have protected John Lennon global civility and well-being...with the love nest I fantasised about. The innocent selfishness of the perfect plan. Our potential romance in 1980, went flat with the public bus ride home from school, where things were truly dismal and _flunked_.
When Robbie Robertson put pen to paper he wrote music to sound familiar and truthful as a 300 year old ballard before the ink could dry on rhe page. The Weight, Rockin' Chair, When You Awake,The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down.... I hope now, Robbie you've kept your vow to you brother [Levon Helm] on his deathbed and joined him on the otherside. You cut the Brown Album at a time I really needed it. Fair Winds and Following Seas to the stars, cobber.
I'm sad to hear this. Loved Robbie forever. I can't remember how many times I've watched "The Last Waltz." Every song The Band wrote and sang were #1 in my book. Such a talented group of musicians.
R I P One of the best. I loved the Band and was lucky enough to see them live a few times backing Dylan. Saw the Last Waltz tour. I was devestated when they broke up but Robbie continued thank God making albums including one with Danko. I miss them all.
Rest in peace Robbie. You are an inspiration to me as a musician and songwriter. Your heartfelt music is a treasure that I'll pass on and never forget.
Massive loss to our the music world. His eyes saw so much history in the making. I rode my bike to one of my very first parties with a joint tucked behind my ear at 15 in 1976. The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down was playing when I walked in.
Garth last man standing at 86 . Rest in peace Robbie .
Who the hell is Garth? Can't you have respect for Robbie Robertson and not mention another's name? Rest in Peace Robbie Robertson, you will be missed!

Thank you Robby for your great Music.Thank you for the Music with the Band.And thank you for the Music with the Native People.🙏🙏🙏
RIP Robbie Robertson, thank you for all the beautiful songs and music.
The Last Waltz has been one of my life’s musical soundtracks. God Bless Robbie, God Bless The Band. Truly inspirational musicians
My mother has Susan Moore. Are we related? Arthur G Moore grandfather moms family
David Bowie, Neil Peart, Tina Turner... Now Robbie, I feel as if my youth is dying at the same time. This really hurts. Thanks Robbie for some of the most memorable moments in music you will be missed greatly.
And Rodriguez as well
feel ya. losing the icons is hard medicine.
You are so right ….I’m 64 and feel the same…..David Crosby, John Martyn , Jeff Beck all legends and now all gone .
Not sure we will ever see the likes of these legends again.
I’m so so glad I’m old enough now to have been young enough back then.
@@MrDallman that last sentence was almost Dylanesque!
@@Chapps1941Yep, we've all been influenced by Bob!! I often quote or at least paraphrase him myself!🫢
Another great rock star gone ,not many left God bless you Robbie thanks for your music that has given me huge pleasure RIP brother
RIP Robbie Robertson! Rock and Roll heaven just got another great musician. God Bless Robbie Robertson☮️❤️
without robbie, the world will be a lesser place. hope to hear you play and sing on the other side
Another stomach churning loss...everybody needs to see the Last Waltz.
Wrote the night we drove old Dixie down.
So, so sad, rest in musical peace Mr. Robertson ❤.
Oddly enough. I never regretted that the Confederacy went down in flames.
One of our treasures, Canadian, American and most of all First Nation. Burned some sweet grass to
let your spirit soar.....

The legends of the 60's are getting up in years. Sad to see them go. RIP Robbie, Richard, Rick, and Levon.

Robbie's 1991 effort, "Storyville", is phenomenal and one of my all time favorite albums. Rest well, Robbie
May you rest in peace thank you for all this great music that you gave us I am 83 years old and I've been following you forever thank you for the music
yes
His earlier solo album, Robbie Robertson, is much better than Storyville.
@@BeatlesCentricUniverse Thanks...I will definitely pick it up!
@@BeatlesCentricUniverse
Yes! I revisited it a couple of years back and got sucked in and played it multiple times.
RIP Robbie...you epitomised all that was good in Canada in the seventies...thank you for wonderful times.

Shows just how great writing & rock & roll could make an honest statement.
