"Chest Fever" -- Levon Helm Band

[BLibertyValance]

Levon & Larry! I'm trying to think how it could get any better ...

Great tune!

[bigcountrypicker]

seen levon and the band in tulsa i got goose bumps when they played it

[coyote023]

where is the rest of the song? larry commences to tear it up.

[bcoffey14]

Just saw the midnight ramble in levon helm's studio this past weekend. Larry did an insane intro to chest fever. Levon is the absolute man. Larry is excellent too.

[bababooey44]

Did Levon do any singing? I've Been wantin to take a trip out from Boston to see the ramble for a while. Got to see them up here in August, but Levon did not sing at all.

[rustedmilt]

Larry is the fucking man

[4rainbowed]

That was a tease.

[sportndandy]

Larry Campbell rocks!

[lifeisacarnival666]

i agree great book! although i can never  feel the same about the last waltz now :/

[nakedrat]

Levon is the man! I just finished his book "This Wheel's on Fire" and I have the utmost respect for him.

[rickb731]

every drummer has "their" drummer, the guy that made them want to be a drummer. though you can admire many different drummers and even cop some stuff off them, there is the "one"

and for me it was Levon Helm and that was a long time ago but ive been having a hell of a good time doing it. Thanks Lee!

[El135o]

Very few drummers are as savvy with rhythm and beat as Levon Helm. All we have today are alterna-beaters.

Doug Clifford of Creedence was another 'feel' drummer, as was Al Jackson.

So where did I say it was written by Three Dog Night? I just stated a fact, it was the flip of "One" and its by far the best version.

[kidbuck33]

yep same larry campbell that played with dylan for 8 years.

[timoutofmind]

Larry Campbell on guitar!!

[XMIR10B]

Too bad you dont know what ur talking about. Chest Fever was the flip sside of "One" by Three Dog Night. idiots

[dankalish]

Too bad I am going to punch you in the face. Chest Fever is a song by the Band, released on their classic 1968 album "Music from Big Pink." Three Dog Night did a cover version of the song on the debut album in 1969. Idiot.

Couldn't have put it nicer myself. Well corrected

[1KillerBananas]

You're so stupid that you think Three Dog Night could come up with something like Chest Fever??? Amazing... It's rock history! Start reading!

[scottishy]

Oh dear, someone doesn't know what they are talking about. Hopefully you'll learn something here.....like getting your facts right first. DOH!!!!!

[essephreak]

Larry's been ripping up that tune with Phil and Friends lately too -- definitely a highlight on the recent tour.

Too bad he comes in with his vocals way too early on this recording -- pretty sure that's the same horn arrangement as on rock of ages, and the horns are only half-way through the part that he's supposed to start singing *after*...

[tmc515]

Wow, that looked fun!

[Wharfie]

This intro piece is known as "The Genetic Method"

[Bigun8]

He's right...Definately a Lowery

[omashburn]

I was there

[kwiis]

Garth played a Lowrey, not a Hammond B-3

[jeffkahl]

yeah he used the Lowery cos it had more low end to it supposedly.

[atonalum]

love the Lowrey organ! I don't think it was because the Lowrey had more low end to it though, because a B-3 generally has more bottom and low frequency rumble than the Lowreys I've heard, but from what I've read in interviews the Lowrey could do things that a B3 couldn't, more versatile. I'd love to try a Lowrey organ, they have this cool pitch bending features like a synthesizer, how cool is that!

Think it was kind of neat also to hear the intro played on guitar :-) - Anyhow, Levon rocks!

[HopNPlop]

you are dead on, he ain't Garth for sure, but I'd say the cat sure can shred

[backbeat64]

I'm sorry as much as I love Larry's playing nothing can beat the sound of Garth's BIG B-3 organ.
