[practicalbeing]

Well done guys, sounding good, liked the fiddle solo very nice. Rock on!

[poohsythecarp]

Nice. Love those harmonies. Well done.

[gsjbaldwin]

Really nice cover. Discovered it by accident on Robbie Robertson's website. Happy accident.

[ResonatingBliss]

Sounds like the Avett Brothers!!! perfect cover

[cinflo58]

Big pink is actually in West Saugerties but who cares. They sound great! Thanks for posting.

[jody808]

that was great, i nicest tribute to The Band

[qandasound]

Great job guys....great sound quality and the location, can't beat it!

[MrJas1991]

The fiddle sounds great

[lennymo1676]

@aasmund92 - Thanks for the info, I'm quite pleasantly surprised. Nice!

[1bassman9]

Righteous job fellas ! You captured the soul and spirit of the tune and we can see you were enjoying yourselves doing it !!!

[winny1203]

Guys, before I begin my nitpicking, let me just say... great video, great arrangement, and great harmonies. Now the nitpicking. Why in the world did you cut out the 2 verses and 2 choruses? Was there a time limit for the house? Next, it's not called "THE Big Pink", but the house is simply (and famously) known as "Big Pink". Finally, "Big Pink" is not located in Woodstock, but in nearby West Saugerties, NY. Next comes the lyric bastardizations in the next post.

[patchesthedude]

@winny1203 Deal with it.

[winny1203]

It's not "pulled in FROM Nazareth", it's "pulled inTO Nazareth". It's not "he just grinned & shook HIS HEAD", it's "shook MY HAND". Last verse, it's not "to GO back to Miss fanny", it's "to GET back". And it's not "who sent me THERE with her regards", it's "who sent me HERE". Guys again, a great arrangement with great harmonies. But you don't improvise with pure, unadulterated GREATNESS. Especially not the historic place where the greatness was created. And don't add a"The" to the name!!

[inatizzy2]

@winny1203 U got the lyrics right as I know them too.

[TheFender2010]

@winny1203 -- Oh, shut it. They can sing it however they wish and they can change the lyrics if they want.

Good rendition.

[galegregory97comcast]

i hope he has a son thanks levon helm

[lennymo1676]

This is great, just stumbled onto it while looking for some of "The Band"s" stuff. Are these guys still together?

Great!

[aasmund92]

@lennymo1676 They're absolutely together, and is indeed a quite famous norwegian band! They're fabulous live!

[full9throttle2weird]

very nice thanks for being who you are

[96toadbug]

Your title was misleading and pissed me off..but I must say you did well...keep the spirit alive

[REDHAIREDMONSTER]

hey guys, how did yall get this old looking effect?

[Uzzerrrname]

Big Pink & Real Ones!  That was excellent!! My old band used to play that one... brought back memories

[jcces44]

technically its in West Saugerties

[ktgrl70]

beautiful harmonies! great job guys!

[MasterWayne76]

Very nice. I like the added chorus verse at the end as well. When were you guys up there to record this? And did you get to check out the inside of the house?

[MrKeifers1]

Wtf, It looks like the sixties and there's a FUCKING KIA IN THE VIDEO!

[taylor655814]

NICE JOB

[pacoiec]

súper buena!

[mitchdurbin]

sweet

[angela5550]

Wow, that was fun

[gtan42]

Yes Angela, that was fun - completely enjoyable!

[Free1108]

I'm a HUGE Band fan but I am impressed; with your sound and especially that you got anywhere close to Big Pink to record. They say it is hard to get there...owners keep people out because they are overrun with fans and tourists. So Tally Ho...Good Job!

[Gazdo01]

Nice one guys! Love the location too haha

[flesheatingbull]

beautiful rendition, and in w. saugerties at that. bravo!

[harpsherm]

Hey fellas. If you ever do any shows in or around Iowa let me know.

[fpetrozz]

[drumandrokid]

@msikes1

[TrunkJunk15]

[ODubhthaigh1]

im feeling "old crow medicine show" here, i really like it.... banjo and fiddle really do it, my favourite redition!!!! good job

[Peacelovelight16]

Big Pink Was In Saugerties NY

[ryanlovesmike]

@Peacelovelight16 Is in Saugerties....The big pink IS in Saugerties

[dalefolse61850]

Ah! The disadvantages of life. It is just not possible to stop time and rewind and say, "Ok on the and and we came in a beat early, so let's try this again and this time lets hold off and come in just one beat later, Ok. Now one and two and..."

[rlc133]

i agree, the song is nice but the "and, and" comes in to early.

[beagleguitar]

This is really nice, but they make the same mistake that so many bands do. They come in a beat early on the "and, and, and you put the load right on me." If you listen to the album, that entrance is delayed until beat 2, and it's much more effective, IMO.

[randolphkraus]

well done gents....really well done

[AyshLoundou]

This might be the first YouTube cover that I've watched all the way through.

[oliveur9]

I love this version and i lern it on my banjo

[GVMX050]

they skipped 2 verses

[Kmscava]

The Banjo player kind of looks like Levon.

[botaduck]

nice job

[qtster]

so pure! love it... I hope to hear more from you.

[teezbeatz]

rly rly great xD

lovely version of this song!

[ermaveep]

Lovely, boys. NY ain't the same without you! Come back for pancakes anytime. xoxo

[skellum20]

Great version of a great song, in the beautiful Katterskill Mountains. When was this actually recorded? Seems like a fine summer day? keep it up...
