The lead-in to this is at the end of Chest Fever (track 14). Which, by the way, is just an epic performance in his natural range. Anyway, someone requests Whispering Pines, and he's hesitant and says "I don't know if I can hit that one. Hum if I miss it."
i can feel u standing there but i cant see u anywhere..... wanna bet richard? i see u right now and u r with us this very second. there is NOTHING inside of u that has EVER died. hmmmmmmmmmm, this is what bob dylan must mean when he said forever young. i only wish the ugly side of this world didnt eat u alive but i know u r sitting pretty now as the perpetual light is shining upon u as we speak!
The best EVER, but not here. Too much partying and singing falsetto w/o proper traing for long term voice preservation. This was 85 and he died in March of 86. This is my favorite Band song, and the my favorite song period.
Been listening to the beautiful studio version for 43 years. Saw them 27 times in concert from 1970 until one concert after the Last Waltz. They never did this song.
Thanks for posting. It's so hard to find any of these later albums by The Band guys. You can definitely notice Richard's deteriorating state in this performance, but God it's still so beautiful.

Ragged voice or not, give me 1 Richard over 1 million Justin Beiber's anyday. You can't make music from the soul unless you have one

The sound of his voice still moves me to tears. In additional ways.
