[rickdankofan1]

This man was an entertainer...god bless rick

[replaybb]

Thanks so much for posting! Garth is like the mad scientist, hair flying everywhere as he cooks his magic brew!

[pkotowski]

@Wharfomatic thank you so much for putting this up

[Sunflower0122Z]

I was lucky to see them the next month in Syracuse with The Dead, it still stands as one of my best nights of live music.

Rest in peace Rick.

[Wharfomatic]

@Sunflower0122Z I just recently converted to CD a master cassette of the soundboard for that10/23/83 show at the Carrier Dome.

@Wharfomatic how does a guy go about getting a copy of that? sounds epic, would love to hear.

[200445peter]

@Sunflower0122Z - Rick Danko died 1999 and Richard Manuel in 1988 - The Band - Bringing Back Sweet Memories - but Levon Helm Band is stil working -

[DonVerduci]

@200445peter Richard Manuel died on May 4, 1886 after a show at the Cheek to Cheek Lounge in Winter Park, Florida. He was Forty-Two. Rest In Peace, you'll forever be, in my opinion, one of, if not The Greatest Vocalist to emerge into this crazy world. "Spend it all".

[Wharfomatic]

@DonVerduci March 4th 1986, I was with him on Sunday the 2nd. The show in Winter Park was on Monday the 3rd and he died at some point after midnight the 4th

[DonVerduci]

@Wharfomatic Really? Wow, I was just going by the Discography and notes made in Greil Marcus' book "Mystery Train". He mentions May 4th, but if your sure then I appreciate your response.

[Wharfomatic]

@DonVerduci  I'm positive. Somedays you never forget

[colgdrew]

@Sunflower0122Z I was at that same show in Syracuse! It was a great night!

[equallyeasilyfuqyou]

@Sunflower0122Z wow the dead and the band. jealous! 

[joereney]

It is Japan. Rick thanks the audience in Japanese at the end of the song.

[joereney]

@pkotowski This is the Japan show. At the end of the song, Rick thanks the audience in Japanese.

[bobbiesue1000]

Is there a dvd or cd of this concert? Would love to own it!!

[Parkyurkarkas]

What could the two douche bags who gave this a thumbs down possibly not like? Maybe that Robbie was in a snit and not involved? I love Rick's little dance, man, voice and bass become one. I know Robbie wrote most of the Band's great songs, but without the other guys' performances, it would not have been The Band.

[pkotowski]

Thanks Wharfomatic, I stand corrected, you are right. Thanks for sharing all this good stuff...

[pkotowski]

I am almost certain this is from their reunion concert in Vancouver, 1983, hence the flags. I could be wrong, yet nevertheless a great, great vocal performance by Mr. Danko. The Last Waltz version of this is probably the best live performance of any song by any band ive ever heard and seen . . . .

[Wharfomatic]

@pkotowski - No it's definitely from Japan. I also have that Vancouver show and truth be told of the two performances the Japan one is better.

[mariegerette]

I JUST RECENTLY WAS INTRODUCED TO THIS "BAND" AND NOW BEING "IN LOVE" WITH ~ RICK DANKO~ WAS SAD TO KNOW HE PASSED AWAY IN 1999 *

[Sk8OrBreakYourSpleen]

Does anyone know of any piano sheet music for this song?

[evaoriental]

i love that song too! many thanks for that ! Peace !!!

[beboploo]

still sounds good

[dreamsaregoood]

Music is always changing. This songs reflects that how it was evolving at this time. His head moving around is goooooood expression.

[Greg2600]

I loved how Danko did that be-bop head bop while he played.

[MuzicmanPresents]

Love this song.Check out the SNL performances from The Band on my channel. 4 songs.

[CarenL27]

nice - one of my favorite songs

[rustedmilt]

I got a fire water on my breath, classic

[ssbeale8]

The guitarist is Earl Cate of the Cate Bros.; The drummer is Levon Helms nephew, Terry Cagle

[DaVooz]

That organ solo (by Garth Hudson?) starting at 2:22 gets me anytime...

[beboploo]

still a good sound

[DaVooz]

Great drumming! Is that Levon Helm drumming?

[EricDymond]

@avidrob Danko? Danko died in 99 :(

[smwrbd]

@EricDymond check that date

[sillysp8]

Yes indeed sir.

[jmzr65]

certainly looks like him

[titanium53]

Of course! Lol Check the way he is hunched over.

[DaVooz]

Have you seen Levon Helm acting in Tommy Lee Jones' Three Burials Of Melquiades Estrada by the way? Check it out, it is a good movie (but Levon is not very fortunate there. And blind...)

[mackb909]

I saw them at the U. of Chicago (Mandel Hall) later in this tour (fall '83); the band sans Robbie R.

[swr112261]

They guy on the Telecaster is great. Who is it?

[ptflats]

dont know but you are right RR not missed there.

[mjgrahm]

Thanks for posting this video,its great!!!

[dagnil4]

because he began to get sick.God rest Him.

[DaVooz]

Great organ solo at 2:25

Still prefer The Last Waltz' version with the orchestra behind it though...

[flesheatingbull]

danko still sounded in top vocal form. nice.

[DaVooz]

Yeah I agree. On other vids from him from 1997 or so he didn't sound that good any more. Why?

[mackb909]

By that time, Danko was very ill, from diabetes and weight gain (and years of alcohol/drug use). He died in 1999 of a heart attack- one of two great North American roots-rockers to die that year, also of a heart condition (the other was Doug Sahm).

[DaVooz]

OK thx mackb909 didn't know that
