Levon Helm & The Cate Brothers Band - Sweet Peach Georgia Wine

[MrEconline]

One dislike what a dick

[PitchBlackGuitarMan]

What year is this?

[99billbob]

@PitchBlackGuitarMan somewhere between 1976 and 1983. They were musical guests on SCTV, Canadian Saturday Night Live essentially. That's when the show ran.

[squizzy79]

keep rocking levon!

[RnRanimal]

what a hot little band

[aammirr]

...that's SCTV's Earl Cammonbare (Eugene Levy) ! Ha !

[671par]

Good to see the Cate Bros still rocking. I used to see them play at high school talent shows at Springdale AR in the late 1950s and later watched Levon at the Rockwood Club in Fayetteville. Brings back lots of great memories.

Sad to hear Levon's golden voice reduced to almost nothing these days, but so great that he still plays such soulful music, loves doing it still, and can still rock those drums like its 1969!

[sherkan8]

EUGENE FREAKING LEVY!!!! oh,and LEVON IS THE MAN!!!

[tomthefunky]

Gotta love those Muscle Shoals Sound t-shirts!!!

[Selekto]

SCTV was a great show back then. Think it came on right after Saturday Night Live back in those days. Great to see the Cate Bros on here.

[2009ESN]

The tele looks a little more worn today...

[topangacg]

Ally: saw your dad playing with Earl and Them last night in KC. Great show! Good to see him playing with that band. Beatles: If I'm not mistaken I think Earl's still playing that same old tele.

[RascalXmas]

is noone going to comment on the fact that that's Eugene Levy?

[henleyisgod]

Hey!!!! That's Eugene Levy!!!!!!!!!!

[AllyT922]

My dad is Ron Eoff on bass. I love watching this video. It makes me smile.

[sallyw59]

Next Thursday! Levon and the Cate Brothers at the Amp in Fayetteville. Be there!

[beatlesrule18]

the tele that earl is playing was my dads.. he sold it to him in 79 when they played together at the library club in fayettville

[ValsHere]

Don't you just love Earl's jacket & great commentary.

Great stuff here!!

[Anisozygoptera]

Is it just me, or is this song about statutory anal rape?

[thoostorm4]

@Anisozygoptera your sad attempts at humor sink like a rock

[Anisozygoptera]

@thoostorm4 I didn't mean it as humor at all. I find the song a little disturbing. He goes to jail (10 to 21) for having sex with a girl who "was only sweet sixteen but she looked a lot older."  Unless I've misunderstood the lyrics: "Well she showed me to the backdoor and she told me what it was for," then I stand by my original comment. Isn't it a little strange how nonchalantly this topic is sung about?

[mtut]

@Anisozygoptera I see where you got that - but there's a long tradition in blues of the "back door man" - a guy who is for whatever reason not supposed to be there (usually messing with another man's wife). Also, in GA the age of consent is 16, so he wasn't sent up for statutory. "Fornication" was illegal in GA regardless, so maybe that's it. The sense I get from the lyric, though, is that the sheriff was mad enough to find any pretext to get him thrown in jail.

[Anisozygoptera]

@mtut I very much appreciate your explanation. Thanks a lot, mtut!

[Thalarctusmaritimus]

Oh my god! I just discovered this song by watching THIS VERY EPISODE of SCTV on DVD. I had no idea about this, and went looking online. Yay Youtube!

[wmh501]

Wow, what an archive video. Not too many of these jewels around especially with double drumming with Levon and nephew Terry Cagle. Earl and Ernie Cate are legends with Ron Eoff on bass.

[MuzicmanPresents]

Levon is the man!

[johnvh123]

Steve Cropper sound

[microtechg7]

Is that Eugene Levy at the start?

[mtut]

Yes, it's Levy. From what I remember of this episode, he sort of tries to get an interview with Levon all night with similar results. (The whole show was constructed around this fictitious, really low-rent TV network).

[PageandPlant4Life]

Great rock and roll band.

[MrBurtti]

Levon Rocks!!!

[LocalRailfan]

Levon is like the musician god!

[headboy]

Yeah!
