  • It's from 1969.

  • nice very nice

  • hahah who hade an iphone at 1970???

  • Garth's da genius

    

  • like this!!

  • I am afraid you are mistaken my friend. Read "Wheels on Fire" by Levon Helm.

    It explains how they would let Robbie sing with his micropone turned down low so he could not be heard. But the voices on this video are definitely Rick, Levon, and Richard. If you do not know that then you need to listen to the Band a bit more so you can indentify each singer's voice correctly. Robbie is NOT audible in this video.

  • Go Robbie go!

  • Except his microphone is not turned up here on this video.

    This is all Richard, Rick and Levon.

  • @howlinwolf73 Yes it is!

  • One of the best bands..........ever.

  • Honestly I don't think Robbie is that terrible a singer, check out them doing The Weight at Woodstock. Harmonies are great.

    Oh, and this is from Pittsburgh 1970.

  • were these guys...also called the ...sos band?

  • @jsaenz1964 They were called "the band" becoz they used to back up Dylan...at least that's what my understanding is.

  • @davehutchinson67 thank you

  • 0:54 great funky move on the keyboards. Garth sure is great player

  • @z1mtschnecker1ch: well, he did sing from time to time. He sang along to "Slippin and Slidin" and "Ain't No More Cane" and another song from time to time. You can actually hear him ad-lib "alright" during the Festival's Express "Slippin and Slidin". It's on YouTube too!

  • all in all was atop class performance.....awesome

  • Those drums are fucking funky!

  • Imagine drumming and singing all at the same time. Both arms,both legs, remembering lyrics and melody all the while keeping the rhythm and tempo for the band....... awesome!

  • @DUDEplayer69 if thats what u want to do

  • Thank You Levon

  • Levon Helm will always be the man!!

  • Levon is one of a kind. Drums the way it ought to be done , not trying to bust the heads off of them.. Got to hand it to anybody who can sing and play drums at the same time, like playing lead guitar and singing. Increadable!!

  • Very good said!!

  • @kukaburr Yes indeed. Really like his drumming style. The Band were SO talented. I love authentic North American music. The Band epitomises that. The Brits could never replicate this.

  • @gizzytiersen they were canadian

  • @cartasauce Are*

  • @cartasauce Not Levon Helm, he's American. But yes

  • @cartasauce Ronnie Hawk was from Arkansas. He founded The Hawks. Bit I'm nit picking. Its North American music. Hows that?

  • @gizzytiersen ahhh you're right, i was pretty close for only being 22

  • @kukaburr Not just singing and playing, but also keeping time better than most musicians can. It's truly awesome.

  • @kukaburr-Seriously, it's great. I can't even play bass and sing =(

  • @kukaburr You said it brother!

  • What a great piece of footage, these guys are amazing

  • robbie doesnt sing does he ?

  • @scottyb43 You are correct sir, they never bothered to plug his microphone in during any of the shows but he always mimes it. The harmonies here are Richard, Levon, and Rick and always were. Robbie just liked making himself seem important or something I guess, and when you can't see Richard (he's always hiding) I guess somebody in the audience would think Robbie was actually singing..

  • @psychedelic45radio

    But what is so bad about him not singing? Garth didn't sing either and is still considered one of the most amazing musicians. Different people have different strenghts - Robbie wrote a majority of the songs, afterall, and he is talented on the guitar. And why shouldn't he sing along on stage (even if his mike wasn't plugged in, which I take with a grain of salt), the songs are freaking amazing!

  • @scottyb43 his mic was usually muted

  • if i spring a leak she mends me

    idont have to speak she defends me

    my type of women ha

  • No, Philly D. Robertson is in his "rabbi" phase. ;)

  • Great song

  • This was shot at the Syrian Mosque in Pittsburgh,PA, sometime in 1970.

  • November 1970 to be exact. A Dutch film crew travelled over and filmed this for a Danish tv special.

  • From this footage, I guess they only had one camera.

  • a film of Rudolf Kiers

  • Comment removed

  • no way, u can see Robbie looks younger, different hair style, and playing a telecaster, not a strat like he mostly used later.

  • Robbie looks like he's still in his Lennon Sgt Pepper phase.

  • No,it looks around the time of "The Last Waltz"'76 I think

  • ha.. haa.. are you serious?
