is this song from the Basement Tapes?

I think the video at 1 minute is Cripple Creek on the Ed Sullivan Show.

Nicely done and thank you for posting. A tribute to be sure. Nothing and nobody like the The Band.

this is a really good montage- it really stays in conversation with the song. Doing that, and especially keeping the rhythm synced up so well, must have been some work! thanks so much for putting this up.

hey what video are you using at 1 minute in, when richard is singing looking at the camera?

[ejohnsonious01]

wow. what a great, bare bones song. what a great song.

You did some really nice with this video. It's easy for montage videos to turn into well intended much. but the images you chose moved with and elaborated on the song in a great way.

If only he'd kept writing...

"Stick to your diet of fresh fruit juices;

Never indulge in self abuses. "

He was one the greats. Thanks for putting this up.

Beautiful montage of Richard! I'm going to have to see if you've done more (like of Rick)...great work!!! So sad that Richard's awesome talent was never fully appreciated while he was here. Make sure to watch the new documentary about Levon "Ain't In It For My Health". It says he is going to talk about some of the things he has found too painful in the past. I got the impression Richard and Rick are going to be discussed. It premiers April 2010.
