I bet a traditional Arkansas Thanksgiving dinner was the Levon's style with some pickin' and grinin'....What a talent...I love the Band and Levon's contribution...
remember seeing the Band in the early '70's. great, great show...or maybe it was the mescaline. either way, this is superb. my favorite bruce sprinsteen song & i'm not even a huge springsteen fan--though i've seen him twice. gotta love that levon!!
this is absolutely fantastic. Levon Helm was amazing. One of most soulful presence in music I think. He gave the Band a 'feeling' that I can't describe but is hard to reproduce. Like thunder rolling softly, or grassfields out the car window.
This is very cool, but if you have never heard the Band's version on the 1994 album Jericho, I highly recommend it.
That version is even cooler than this one, cos it has the extra added benefit of Garth Hudson's world-class accordian carrying the melody, plus Danko's harmony vocals. It's my favorite song from the '90s version of the Band
I saw the L.H. Band last night at Wolf Trap ( Vienna, VA ) and sadly they didn't play this but man what a band he has! This version is nice but his version on Jericho w/ The Band and as you mentioned, Hudson & Danko is UnF****** unbelievable. The best cover version of any song i have ever heard....surpasses the great original by Bruce no doubt.
I bought the cd and couldn't stop re-playing that one song over and over again!
Last night they did another song from that cd, Blind Willie McTell.
@sophiesage I saw him in Charlotte NC this yr..What an awesome band he has is RIGHT! Best concert I've been to in a long time! I saw The Band multiple times in the 70s; have never been swept away by any band like I was by them; I doubt that I will be. Lots of bands had their chance; I have seen pretty much everyone that has ever hit the road. I wish Rick and Richard could be here to share in the success b/c as Levon says; he keeps the music alive for them; finally many of those struggles r gone.
just discover The Band cover of this great song! I started searching you tube for a video of the band singing Atlantic City and found this treausure!!! Thank you, thank you emmylunatic!
To me you made such a terrific effort to capture that historic moment of the concert in the best version as tribute to Bruce Springsteen, I thank you so much specially because you got the nerve to film among the scattering shadows when there was a brilliant sun in front of your camera shining with happiness to fulfill my heart! Gracias mil, desde México (B-p)...
