I'm not gonna lie, I never heard of this song or this band before. But I was checking out the movie Prefontiane & this song came on during his death scene. & it's been haunting me ever since & that's been over 10yrs ago. I saw it again today, It was just a few bars of it, but it had me. Beautifully sad, my man sang this song with so much emmotions, he makes you feel it.
webster hall is in princeton nj .if I'm not mistaken...the vocal by manuel is sublime...only saw them once but they definitely blew away the competition ,,,something real
U got that right,,,, He never got what he deserved for sure and it wasnt a frickin belt around his neck to make any one Understand..... RIP Richard,,, I Miss you soooo much,
The best... his "4% Pantomime" with Van Morrison is the only performance that tops this one.......but the fact is ( and I treasure all their performances) the absolute best is Levon Helm's rendition of "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down"...and Levon is , God bless him!, still performing!
@JimClutchSportz Well, it's because his singing is awful, it's was a common thing in their concert, even in The Last Waltz. He had a mic to make people think he sang and wrote every songs
The tiny photo of Richard & The story of the way he left us will always be embeded in my mind. Whenever I watch "The Last Waltz" I still shake my head in disbelief. RIP Richard.
this is one of the best performances in rock history............richard manuel's vocal is so far above the clouds.......it just tears the emotion right out of your body............just a legendary vocal.... like so many others, never got the recognition that he so well deserved!!!!
just discovered this song, it sends shivers down my spine, such a beautiful song and voice...life affirming for me as i've not been at my best recently...so sad to read the singer has passed...thank you for uploading this, off to track down the cd tomorrow...
I wonder if because it's a Cameron Crowe film, that Jason Lee looked and sang so much like Richard in Almost Famous in the bit where he's playing piano...
@kman2300000000000000 I´m sure his mike was always turned off. During the last waltz helm gets pissed and yells at the sound guy to turn that !"""@@3´s mike off. lol
IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR OVER 20 YEARS NOW! NO KIDDING, SINCE I FIRST HEARD IT ON THE WONDER YEARS 20 YEARS AGO, I COULDNT FIND IT, BECAUSE THE INTERNET WASNT IN EVERY HOUSE HOLD BACK THEN, AND EVER SINCE THE SHOW WAS NO LONGER AIRED, I COULDNT REMEMBER ANY OF THE LYRICS, I JUST KNEW WHAT EPISODE IT WAS AND THAT I REALLY LIKED THE SONG!
I JUST WATCHED THE RE-AIR OF IT ON HUB NETWORK, AND GOT THE LYRICS, NOW I HAVE FINALLY GOT THE SONG I LOVE.
@0311GRUNT awesome, that is the best when that happens. I used to go to a blues bar and watch a band play some covers of tunes i never knew then have to remember certain lines from lyrics, so i could go home and search for the lyrics to find the song on the net. then search for it on youtube. best feeling when you find it. a musical quest.
@dannyiswellcool thats awesome! this is not the first song i have had to search for. but it was the longest, most memorable, and the most rewarding. what made it even more difficult, was the fact that there are so many other bands who have covered it, BUT THIS ONE IS THE BEST!
@plimsoul222 the title of the episode is "Triangle". in the episode Waynes new girlfriend kisses Kevin and confesses her feelings for him, behind Waynes back. the song is played at the dance in the end of the episode.
@0311GRUNT Crap.. LOL, I hve the CD. Thats like going away now too. Richard Manual just blows my mind! Some reason, I feel a Connnection there but he is gone,, But his Music Lives On!!
@aditay I have been a fan of The Band since forever, glad you found the words, after the tragic death of Richard Manuel Bob Dylan sang this song at a concert as a tribute to him, i can tell you the tears flowed.
@DurbanpoisonXskunk YOU OBVIOUSLY FAILED READING COMPREHENSION. THOSE 8 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL DIDNT PAY OFF, DID THEY? (IF I COULD INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE FONT, I WOULD JUST FOR YOU)
@DurbanpoisonXskunk YOU OBVIOUSLY FAILED READING COMPREHENSION. THOSE 8 YEARS OF HIGH SCHOOL DIDNT PAY OFF, DID THEY? (IF I COULD INCREASE THE SIZE OF THE FONT, I WOULD JUST FOR YOU)
Funny you should mention Wonder Years. I just finished watching that episode on Apple TV, like the song, turned on the subtitles to find the lyrics, and went to YouTube to find it, and during the whole thing I wondered what I would've done back in the day without the internet.
I would've had to sing the song to my mom and get her to identify it, and well... something like that just doesn't wash off.
This is such a beautful and wonderful song. It is very well performed but strong powerful yet oh so delicate and emotional. This can really stir your soul. One of Dylans best efforts for sure!. "I see my light come shinning..."- wow!
Richard has one of those special voices. I think I saw that Elvis Costello was thinking "I'll just be a songwriter" but then he heard a song by Rick and thought "yes! one can sing quirky great". This should bring a tear to ones eyes because of fallen friends but more so just because IT"S a beautiful haunting song that I couldn't screw up if I sang.
Can't get any better than this.....Richard, we mourn you (I went to his memorial service in Woodstock - I just wish I had known him better before he was released from this world - he was too sweet and nice to remain here any longer). I miss Richard and Rick constantly. Rock on Levon!
Released from the body that you are inhabiting of course. It has to do with the ninth chapter of Paul's epistle to the Romans. Verse 24 most especially. Wonderful song.
A real high point in the history of RNR, The Band, so earthy and soulful, a BAND with 5 equally GREAT and integral players. One of the greatest bands ever, no doubt about that. RIP Richard, Rick.......I'll love you guys forever!
RIP Richard Manuel. You broke my heart about 25 years ago when I saw you and the Band, minus Robbie, in Dallas. Two weeks later, you hung yourself. I cried for you that morning on my way to work. A very sad day indeed.
@Silverniten A version similar to this was done in "the Last Waltz" as an encore, with all the musicians that performed in the movie coming out on stage. Dylan sang the 1st verse, Richard sang the 2nd, and pretty much everybody joined in on the third verse. It was very emotional, very moving, and truly awesome!
@Silverniten yeah they had already stopped touring. The Last Waltz was basically the last time they played together as a group, although they did go into the studio after the movie to record some extra songs for the movie, like: "(Theme from)The Last Waltz", "Evangeline" w/Emmylou Harris, and "The Weight" w/StapleSingers, but "TLW" was all she wrote for Robbie and the Band.
It was on The Big Pink album and also on the early Greatest Hits album. Great song...one of my Band favorites. Loved that Richard...wish he was still gracing us with his talents. RIP in my dear friend.
@Timsmusic100 Just chaps my ass, Robbie, acting like he can sing and cameras all on him.... When the REAL Voices were Levon, Richard and Danko... Funny but Robbie CANT Sing! Plays the hell out of a guitar though.
What an awesome Band! It is hard to believe one band had three singers that could do leads...Danko and Helm are just fantastic too, Manuel is beautiful. So sad. I love this band!!!!
As a psycho Band fan it feels weird saying this, but to me Nina Simone's cover is the definitive "I Shall Be Released". This is my favorite version from The Crackers though.
Read somehere Levon the drummer said Richard was a good looking guy and then when he went into that high pitched tone all the girls went so crazy . I like Whispering Pines too , am sure that was played at this concert, that one would be a great song to play at a wedding.
EC admits this himself in his book - he was v keen on a group that seemed to be 'true' to its roots, unlike the latter days with Cream. But he also wanted to hook up with Duane Allman!
and with Patty Harrison (which he did). I saw EC probably a dozen times, The Band three times. They were both SO amazingly awesome!!! True to their roots, Yes. These guys were big time partiers during the day, which is what got the best of Richard eventually. Still, he was one more amazing talent, I love him and may he rest in peace.
I'm not gonna lie, I never heard of this song or this band before. But I was checking out the movie Prefontiane & this song came on during his death scene. & it's been haunting me ever since & that's been over 10yrs ago.

and with Patty Harrison (which he did). I saw EC probably a dozen times, The Band three times. They were both SO amazingly awesome!!! True to their roots, Yes. These guys were big time partiers during the day, which is what got the best of Richard eventually. Still, he was one more amazing talent, I love him and may he rest in peace.

Bit like saying The Beatles were "a popular beat combo from Liverpool"!

In a way. Richard was a more prolific composer and also was a multi-instrumentalist with that great voice. Brent was the man too though
