Man I miss Danko and Manuel.....Levon is hanging there and Robertson is well still Robbie Robertson............been down with The Band since Big Pink and before that when they traveled behind the Great Ronnie Hawkins as the Hawks.this stuff defines my mind
You know, I can't speak to all of the internal tensions and differences that The Band had going on about this movie. As far as I'm concerned TLW still, after thirty years, stands as one of the best concert movies ever made. I saw it when I was fourteen without knowing who most of the performers were and was totally blown away. Needless to say, I became a huge fan which had my fiends scratching their heads.
I laugh at everyone who says Levon can't play drums and didn't contribute to The Band. I've been playing now for 19 years and have the utmost respect for Levon Helm. He is by far the most UNDERRATED drummer in rock. The syncopation in his right foot and the way he just dances around his ride and hats is absolutely brilliant!! Not to mention that while he's doing it all he's also singing. Those who doubt his talent go find the Last Waltz version of Dixie...Levon's shining moment.
in the same way you have to respect mccartney for his contribution to the beatles, the same goes for robertson with the band. however, as far as im led to believe, he screwed the rest of the boys over when it came to song rights and royalties. if this is true then...................draw your own conclusions!!!! oh and just for the record, levon is the best drummer/singer iv ever seen/heard!!!!
Richard is a male Billie Holiday.Pain and soul in every line.Robbie said once in an interview,"sometimes we didn't know if Richard was reaching for a note,or if someone had hurt him really bad."When he hung himself in that hotel room in Miami,I guess we got the answer.
levon helm had nothing more than singing? he's the PERFECT drummer! pure taste, he's like the peter green of drumming, just a natural freak the way he can lift the songs by switching to cymbals! if they took all the chat out of the last waltz the whole band could have tore the shit out of everything!
I'm a huge fan of Scorsese's work, but I think he must've had a man crush on Robbie Robertson. How else could the guy who's easily the least musically talented in the group get about 75% of the face time in the movie? Good thing the soundtrack is without equal
@lesterwink23 LIsten, Im with you all the way in that too much focus was on Robbie but... seriously, least talented?? Sure, he had the worst voice but the guy could freaking rip on the guitar and don't ever forget this... without his incredible lyrics, The Band would have never left Dylans shadow.
Rich, Rick, Levon, Hillbilly soul!!! I can't get enough of these guys. The greatest music ever! I cant stop listening to the band. Garth Thanks for keep'in all together.
@00Jackacid coll, innit? he had his strat modified that way. that actual pickup switching configuration isn't changed. its basically the middle pickup moved back. so they are still parallel with the middle reversed in that second selector position, but it certainly would change the sound. he also had that model bronzed, which if you listen to the commentary added about ten pounds in weight. he changes guitar halfway through because the damn thing was so heavy.
Read the book THIS WHEEL'S ON FIRE. Scorsese and Robertson made the film that they wanted to spin Robbie as the main front man. To watch the movie you'd think that he sang on most songs, in reality the three part harmonies and lead vocals were developed by Manuel, Danko and Helm. Robert was simple preening in front of the mike.
@birdleso What does singing have to do with being a front man? Dylan couldn't sing worth a shit, but he still did. Robbie can't sing but he still cried out the words HE wrote, to the music HE wrote. If it weren't for Robbie, there would be no Band so quit bickering about Robbie just because you read some shit outta Levon's book. Maybe Levon is just a bit upset he had very little to contribute to The Band aside the lead vocals to a few songs.
@IanRoantree the band was a confluence of five amazing players at the right time. robbie did NOT make the band what it was, nor did levon or any of the others. but when they stopped working well together and listening to each other (let's not forget richard, rick, and robbie were all addicts of one kind or another at this time, especially richard) thats when it fell apart. scorcese's editing did not help things.
these guys were unbelievable. no dead air time there. i'm 55 and remember seeing and listening to them in high school and they sound just as good to my ears as they did when we were all alittle younger
I am Brazilian, and about a year ago i saw The Last Waltz for the first time, and now i just can´t live without it. I visit those videos every week and I have a record CD to listen this in my car.
Just a few people know about The Band here in Brazil, when I talk about it, nobody in my age knows about these monsters of music, and i´m 26. My father´s friend that show The Last Waltz for me last year.
I never went to Canada, but these five guys make me love these country FOREVER!
@SrRojasRene I just re-discovered this wonderful concert. I remember seeing the movie when it came out and being blown away by all the talented singers and musicians. A classic rock movie, if ever there was. It's cool to hear how someone your age loves it too.
@Johnmadwiscclem Yes, I think good musics and good musicians are unforgetable and their music has no age, lives forever. Unfortunatly it's rare to see good music like this in the bands of today. The harmonys are just perfect and complete. Guitar, Drums, Keyboard, Piano, Bass, Voices... I love everything in The Band.
The band doesn't work without Robbie Robertson. He is the gracious front man spotlighting the other members. He is thanking the musician leaving and welcoming the next act. He is brilliant during the interview throughout the DVD and played the guitar superbly. He story telling throughout the performance were sensational anicdotes. The band were all incredibly humble, extremely talanted, gentlemen and musicians.
Debate all you want. When those 4 guys made music the sum was greater then any of the parts . Just listen and leave it alone......be grateful that the gods put them together for the time they did. There was no "STAR". That was the point. They were born from Dylan and The Hawk and loved playin music together......
Robbie weakest in the Band???? How old are you brother? Just wondering is all. He is one of the best and The Band just wasnt the same. Ive seen them several times before and after Robby.
@noahstfuboi Robbie wrote a lot of the music, but you're correct, he's the least important element in The Band when it comes to live performance. hell, he even went into the studio after this was recorded and fixed all his solos.
The Band's music fused many elements: primarily old country music and early rock and roll, though the rhythm section often was reminiscent of Stax or Motown, and Robertson cites Curtis Mayfield and the Staple Singers as major influences, resulting in a synthesis of many musical genres. As to the group's songwriting, very few of their early compositions were based on conventional blues and doo-wop chord changes.
Love how you can hear horns on the track...and yet look at the big wide shots of Rick and Robbie or of the entire Band - there are clearly a bunch of music stands with no horn players behind them.
@mahajohn i'll tell you how...they played six days a night, six hour gigs for nearly ten friggin' years before they recorded anything you or i would know. by this point, they had been on the road sixteen years together. thats how.
@Putaspellonyou What!? Hard work!? Devotion to craft!? Expenditure of caloric and spiritual energy!? Say it is not so! Does this mean I won't ever play like this!? This makes me despondent...
Being younger, lots of kids these days speak with reverence for artists of a bygone era. Artists like Hendrix, Zeppelin, Beatles, etc. I love those guys, too. But man, so many of them are missing out! The Band is simply fantastic. Who better to capture their brilliance than the one and only Martin Scorsese? Love it.
Robbie is such a ham with his picking hand "fluttering" above the guitar after a seemingly poignant riff, like he's raising the dead or trying to make a handkerchief magically rise from a table.
@christopherhoughton1 I know! Garth and Richard got fucking shortchanged through the whole thing! You'd think they were just two guys they found backstage before the show!
@cdphatty I feel even worse for Garth... He got even less. It seems that just because they're on keyboards it makes them uninteresting. It seems like Robertson is in almost every shot, which isn't particularly cool.
No the feeling too well (partly at least!): .. 'i just spent 16 days in the jailhouse, for the CRIME OF HAVING NO DOUGH, no. Here i am back out on the streets , FOR THE CRIME OF HAVING NOWHERE to go-o-o-o-oh! ." Some lines in this one ....
PERFECT IS NOT A FUNCTION OF ANYONE OR ANY BAND.THEY WERE A GREAT BAND.EACH MEMBER WAS GREAT.TO FIND DIFFERENCE THAT CAN JOIN TO FUSE TOGETHER AS SUCH A BAND IS SO RARE.AND THEY DID THAT.
I had my untouchable Rock Gods. But The Band was like seeing all my buddies playing together. With all their human faults, together, they were more musically talented than ANY of my Rock Gods. Synergy - 1+1=3.
Man, i dont understand why i'm seeing all these comments about how they are great but imperfect. highly disagree the winterland show is in my opinion one of the best performances ever filmed, the show from start to finish is musically perfect, the only aspect you could say was imperfect was when clapton's strap feel off during "further on up the road" and thats one of my favourite songs because they have to improvise and it still came out perfect in my eyes.

WE, then will guarantee open, sincere and productive negotiations towards the peaceful return of Jews to Palestine to be treated always as cherished brothers in peace
let's face it.....it had to be tough for Robbie bein' as fucking cute as he is with a bunch of motherfuckers like you but I'll bet he could drink with Fidel, in fact, I'd like to test that theory in person....God Bless You Robbie you fucking crazy ass clairvoyant you...you fuckin' rock pretty boy....but if I was a girl I'd put your ass in your place and say: do me all night long baby....but I ain't no girl except for Shawn Colvin so observe the chicken wire hound dog....love ya.
This video, as well as others posted on YouTube from this concert, have been sped up. Not only because I've timed it with the real concert on Blu-Ray, but if you look closely on this video, Danko's hair flops around too quickly.
Maybe it wasn't done on purpose, but perhaps it should be reposted to keep true to the real thing.
Richard Manuel had an amazing voice and I'm sure had he lived, he would have gone on to do even bigger and better things. It always saddens me to think that so many great artists, don't seem to know their own self worth. God, if only he could have seen himself in the postive way that the people who loved him did. Hopefully he's able to love himself now. He was something else. The real thing. Peace.
took my kids to see this at the drive-in; they listened to it on vinyl; i agree an epic event; sadly, a few years after this Richard Manuel took his life. All the more reason this performance still moves me.
real music!!!to each his or hers.but rap is crap!!! if they encounterd what they talk about,and try to sing.i,t would be a shit and run accident.most have a brave body,but their legs just won,t stand for i,t.THE BAND WILL FOREVER STAND!!!
Levon is, in my estimation, one of the most underappreciated drummers ever. That amazing tenor voice is sure hard to overlook, but the drums are his first love...his passion...the quality of the tone that he gets out of them is incredible, not to mention some of the best chops for a rock and roll drummer ever seen on stage. Every young musician should aspire to get to the level that Levon reached and has maintained for almost half a century. What a legend.
@joplinsdrink a masterpiece timelass from the dr rite through to bobby dylan 4ever young the band man rip rick richard manuel troubled souls but genieus fk love them
This is what I love about The Band, they don't have that perfect singer, they don't have that perfect guitarist, bassist or pianist... But together, they make the perfect band.
@GiggleBlizzard i beg to differ.. they had unbelievably good singers, a sick guitar player who pretty much invented that style, and a sick piano player in both richard and garth. i do like that you didnt say they didnt have a perfect drummer cuz everyone knows levon IS as perfect as it gets haha
Robbie wrote most of the songs. He did not have the mega voice of Helms and Manuel or even Danko but give Robertson his due, those songs were epic.

Benjamin, WE know what Bonnie knows. Stop aside now and all will be forgiven and WE will recognize your sanity, your repentance and WE will see to it that all Jews living in Palestine now will be treated with full dignity, given all assistance necessary, including Military Transport of all possessions to safe havens of your choice. WE, then will guarantee open, sincere and productive negotiations towards the peaceful return of Jews to Palestine to be treated always as cherished brothers in peace

let's face it.....it had to be tough for Robbie bein' as fucking cute as he is with a bunch of motherfuckers like you but I'll bet he could drink with Fidel, in fact, I'd like to test that theory in person....God Bless You Robbie you fucking crazy ass clairvoyant you...you fuckin' rock pretty boy....but if I was a girl I'd put your ass in your place and say: do me all night long baby....but I ain't no girl except for Shawn Colvin so observe the chicken wire hound dog....love ya.

This video, as well as others posted on YouTube from this concert, have been sped up. Not only because I've timed it with the real concert on Blu-Ray, but if you look closely on this video, Danko's hair flops around too quickly.
Maybe it wasn't done on purpose, but perhaps it should be reposted to keep true to the real thing.

Richard Manuel had an amazing voice and I'm sure had he lived, he would have gone on to do even bigger and better things. It always saddens me to think that so many great artists, don't seem to know their own self worth. God, if only he could have seen himself in the postive way that the people who loved him did. Hopefully he's able to love himself now. He was something else. The real thing. Peace.

took my kids to see this at the drive-in; they listened to it on vinyl; i agree an epic event; sadly, a few years after this Richard Manuel took his life. All the more reason this performance still moves me.

Levon is, in my estimation, one of the most underappreciated drummers ever. That amazing tenor voice is sure hard to overlook, but the drums are his first love...his passion...the quality of the tone that he gets out of them is incredible, not to mention some of the best chops for a rock and roll drummer ever seen on stage. Every young musician should aspire to get to the level that Levon reached and has maintained for almost half a century. What a legend.

@GiggleBlizzard i beg to differ.. they had unbelievably good singers, a sick guitar player who pretty much invented that style, and a sick piano player in both richard and garth. i do like that you didnt say they didnt have a perfect drummer cuz everyone knows levon IS as perfect as it gets haha
