The Band - Chest Fever (LIVE!) 1976

[TheLazZzar]

i like the last waltz version robbies strap breaks and then his guitar tech comes on stage just like what happened to eric but worse check it out on my channel

[Stephanjnj]

Richard's voice is pretty much gone by this point, which might explain why Levon's and RIck's vocals were featured more prominently on The Last Waltz.

@Stephanjnj he was wasted. that's why his vocals were lower. he didn't need it loud anyway

@MrDukemeister hate to say it but you're probably right. It's a shame because they really were a band and if Robbie had a little more insight and respect for the other members I think he could have went a lot further than they did, especially Garth, I mean come on man, give the guy his dues, the guy's brillant, especially on this song.

Listenend to this again, shone a new light on it, never relalized how bad-ass it is!

@stjo4 Garth usually used a Lowrey Festival or Lincolnwood that he modded himself, running through a pair of Leslies. :-)

I love the Hammond organ sound . Cannot be replicated with any digital sound. It has to be the richest sound and one that puts a stamp on 60s and 70s music.

[stujo4]

@Paulacygne I think it's a Lowrey organ, but I agree.

[jackbwise]

Levon and Richard singing together, pure excellence

[stratking69er]

g'wan you band

[TPG3471]

I'm not sure if Chest Fever is an acquired taste or not, but regardless, I absolutely love this song. In fact he only short-coming of the Last Waltz for me, is that this song isn't on it. Can't understand why, because if they can go into to studio and add the Staple Singers to The Weight, it seems to me they could have gotten a kick ass version of this song on the DVD/CD if they wanted to.

[MrDukemeister]

@TPG3471 I think Robertson was too insecure to let Chest Fever make it ontoThe Last Waltz because the song belongs to Garth Hudson.

[LocalRailfan]

@MrDukemeister never thought that way but you are probably right!

[LocalRailfan]

Love Levon's vocals on this number!

[1019drummer]
