@alexvizca5 It's an Lowrey Organ, not a Synthesizer. Garth didn't start experimenting with Synths until their later albums. Not trying to be a dick, I just happen to know a fair bit about the band
It's funny when some of the comments say "play that funky music". The Band is basically playing cowboy music with a funk influence. Odd but who cares, this song is groovy.
@shiftedx2 I disagree, not that his "take" is bad, but I've never heard his "take" on the radio, so I'm accustomed to this version, and I like it better.

@TwoIdiotsAndAPropGuy ......Hello from South Alabama brother. I worked on offshore drilling rigs with a lot of Lake Charles dudes. You an LSU fan? I wish I could find me a "Bessie" but i'm afraid there a'int any left.
LOL - it doesn't matter what video it is - people always bitch about something. And I'm pretty sure floron's post was a variation of a joke from Family Guy.
@butterfly000music lol me too, and i did some research, it's called a clavinet. it's the same thing used in Led Zeppelin's "Custard Pie" and Stevie Wonder's "Superstition"
haha livin in cali i blast The Band and everyone trips out like wtf is that? only older white people know and they always look at me like what? is that beaner listening to The Band, oh shit he knows the lyrics too. i love it. garth hudson mad genius on the organ.....
This is just great. I hadn't heard of these guys til my mate showed me The Last Waltz a couple months ago - I was blown away! Just brilliant music, that's it.
How are they underrated? They're in the Rock Hall of Fame, two of their albums are on the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time" list from Rolling Stone Magazine, and they're also ranked as one of the best bands on the corresponding Rolling Stone list.
@californiarage i'm aware of that. but if you asked people to name some of the best rock bands ever, how many people do you know that would say "The Band"? not many i would think.. thats how it's been in my experience anyways..
Actually, what's interesting is that if you ask musicians, most of them will recognize "The Band" as one of the greats. Not so much with the normal, music listening crowd.
Why is it that all someone wants to do is compliment a great band and they get called Slanderous Names....... Boy this country is really getting mean and nasty. God Bless Us All, we cannot stand together as a country if we are all fighting and calling each other names! What a bunch of little babies we have become. Lord have Mercy on this USA!!!!
Saw this band in Manchester, New Hampshire in the late 1970's. There were only about 35 people in the audience and they Rocked it just like there were 200,000! I felt like I had my own personal concert! Was "supposed" to go with husband at the time, he changed his mind..... BYE BYE !!!!! I had a great time!
@krookdad ---- You are one IMMATURE ASS. You do not know the 1970's. You do not know Me nor do you know my Ex Husband, RIP...... Lest not judge lest you be judged, so.... All I have to say to you is MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND TEACH YOU TO WALK IN OTHERS SHOES.
Well I'm glad that you had a "Great time" at a party that your husband "decided to change his mind" about going to. From what you have told me, I'd rather die than hang out with you at a good concert also. Get your bull mess out of here you whore.
The Band is great. My personal favorite is The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. This song is good though. Happy Birthday Garth Hudson! Kudos to Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Richard Manuel, and Rick Danko as well!
@perkis5000 a friend of our family is in a cover band, they played this song. sounded great! I remember hearing this song years ago when I was a kid but never knew what the hell it was about!
Look at this band. Now, look at ours. Now back to this band, now back to ours. Sadly, it isn’t ours. But if the bandmates here started becoming gods at their instruments it could sound like ours. Click our channel. Look up. What are you doing? You’re listening to the music this band could sound like. Look again. YOU NOW HAVE A MASSIVE ERECTION. Anything is possible when listening to IEWA. We’re in your minds.

hell yes, gulf coast! Yummy food, friendly folks. Always a blast. The Band one of the best bands ever. Levon Helms is a great man. A drummer who sings and writes. Who is better? He also plays mandolin, what?
Up on cripple creek she sends me, if i sprang a leak she mends me, i don't have to speak she defends me, a jokers dream if i ever did see one. Is he talking about a womans love for him? That is funny.
This song was funk before funk even existed. Thanks goes to the maestro Garth Hudson for the music, Robbie Robertson for the lyrics, and Levon for the great vocals. "Now me and my mate were back at the shack\We had Spike Jones on the box" What a great line, and the way it was sung just added to the coolness.
reminds me of wen i was stuck in rehab, goin thru detox. luckly i had my dads ipod.. soon as this came on, it took me str8 home. made everything ok again.
noww months later, here i sit smoking some nice nice weed on a beautiful day to some good tunes. =)
heroin has some positive effects (kills pain). so does killing an old lady and taking her money(free money!). Nazi Germany also had some positive effects (NASA anyone?) . having positive effects should not be your only reason for doing something
This song and "The Weight" reminds of a time when niggers were at the bottom....right where they are supposed to be! I didnt see any niggs in "The Jetsons". The future looks good doesnt it!
Music Music haunts me It dances in my dreams It whispers in the darkness Makes me do crazy things Yea music is the kind of lover that takes you by the hand then leads you on It spends all your money then it dates your friends Music always means well and it loves you to the end M.S. Morrison
There aren't any good women like Bessy left in this country. There are no drunkards dreams left. The god damn jezebels are all fuckin black guys. god damn what america has become. its sad man
@TruthAxe: It's not a Hammond B3, Garth Hudson didn't really like them. He used a Lowrey organ, a Lincolnwood TSO-25 Deluxe version, apparently.
In any case, apparently our mileages vary. I don't particularly really like the sound of church organs, but I think festival and jazz organs sound really cool. For me, the fact that Hudson plays a carnival/circus kind of melody really adds something to the song. I love it.
And that is why Truth,we as a people are not free,or am I being far too grammatically correct for your virgin,tight minded ears...turn your spell check off on your computer and feel something for a change..
I bought an original copy of this on Vinyl today :). Apparently someone named Brian needed to put his name in Green Sharpie on the front, but who cares the vinyl is mint, and the sleeve is mint except for his name.
Makes me think of my Sister, God rest her soul. I was not much more than a child and she would be singing along to this song as she got ready to go out dancing. :)

@TruthAxe You obviously have never tripped on acid. You may have not even smoked weed from the sound of it. And, by the way, the organ and clavinet are the lead instruments in the song, whereas the piano and guitar are coupled together to add texture. The organ is amazing.
You amuse, @mexicansmell. If you're going to express yourself with a Latinate adverb like 'obviously', do so with expressive force. NEVER insert an adverb between a subject and it's action.
WRONG: "You obviously have never tripped on acid."
BETTER: You have never tripped on acid, obviously!
It's better altogether if you stop expressing with such frivolous adverbs as obviously.
@TruthAxe You obviously have psychological problems. This is not a basic Composition class; I'm allowed to write colloquially. I wonder if you have any social skills at all.
Don't try to give grammatical lessons if your own grammar isn't flawless itself (it's action), thereby stirring up some serious ethos problems. Who the fuck are you, then? Shut the fuck up. Take a Rhetoric class.
By the way, musical taste is completely subjective. Your comment exhibits an archaic mode of human rationality.

If you think funk didn't exist before this song, you're one ignorant individual.
In fact, if you believe this song even is funk (which it isn't by the way, it's country rock)
you really don't know much about music.
Funk is James Brown, Sly Stone, the Meters, The Bar-Kays, Curtis Mayfield etc, it's an
ATTITUDE that existed long before this tune.

To all those who comment/troll/argue over nothing at all: you cannot reason with the irrational people in this world, just give up your crusade.
Ps this is a nice song... Makes me think of one of my friends

you ass clowns have taken a song that i love and decided to argue about issues in your lives that no one could possibly care about.
if I'm at a bar and this is on the juke box it gets played immediately after "the weight"
great song

Okay I can say since there is so much crap on here is that I have always loved this song. If you don't like it....don't listen.

I bought an original copy of this on Vinyl today :). Apparently someone named Brian needed to put his name in Green Sharpie on the front, but who cares the vinyl is mint, and the sleeve is mint except for his name.

Makes me think of my Sister, God rest her soul. I was not much more than a child and she would be singing along to this song as she got ready to go out dancing. :)

This song could be improved by ridding it of the organ and mixing in more piano. The organ sounds like crap.

@TruthAxe You obviously have never tripped on acid. You may have not even smoked weed from the sound of it. And, by the way, the organ and clavinet are the lead instruments in the song, whereas the piano and guitar are coupled together to add texture. The organ is amazing.

You amuse, @mexicansmell. If you're going to express yourself with a Latinate adverb like 'obviously', do so with expressive force. NEVER insert an adverb between a subject and it's action.
WRONG: "You obviously have never tripped on acid."
BETTER: You have never tripped on acid, obviously!
It's better altogether if you stop expressing with such frivolous adverbs as obviously.

@TruthAxe You obviously have psychological problems. This is not a basic Composition class; I'm allowed to write colloquially. I wonder if you have any social skills at all.
Don't try to give grammatical lessons if your own grammar isn't flawless itself (it's action), thereby stirring up some serious ethos problems. Who the fuck are you, then? Shut the fuck up. Take a Rhetoric class.
By the way, musical taste is completely subjective. Your comment exhibits an archaic mode of human rationality.
