I feel so much happier now having seen/heard the Black Crowes perform this song. Thanks for sharing the footage!

[lptoro6]

I was at this show my first rock concert it was a good show

[hermowninny]

Thanks for this. Does he say Doug Adams on organ also?

Anyway - great performance by all, including Rich who sings really well here - except the tuba player. Cringe.

Just saw Levon Helm & company for a Midnight Ramble session this past weekend. They played this song like this and it was awesome. Almost like this version of the song better then the original from the Band.

did any one else make to the p.a. concert

[jantjeharing]

What a salute to the days of Easy Rider, Big Pink,

big promises, etc. (1968) our youth indeed.

Big Helm behind the drums in the Last Waltz. It strikes me how US bands so often pay respect to their " ancestors", in invirting them etc. Not so here in Europe, they only remember abba here....

[mauno911]

Why do they let this tubist play a solo? He can´t play for shit. Others are wonderful, though.

[GuitarSwan]

Saw them do this in central park. Levon's still the man on the drums.

[crowebroke]

The brass didn't make the grade, but Levon plays a storm, Chris sounds great, beautiful song. Great vibe to this video, thanks for sharing.

[amorican90]

Whose the guitarist with the strat?

[mau222]

Larry Campbell. He's been the de facto musical arranger behind Levon' s two most recent albums.

[crowebroke]

He says his name at the beginning of the clip - "Larry Campbell on guitar." I'm guessing his name is Larry Campbell.

Love how the Crowes pay respect to the bands that helped pave their way. Levon Helm is one of the greatest singer-songwriters-drummers EVER.

[oysterbay7]

love that you love this REAL music--i lved in margaree, cape breton for 12 years --sure miss it and the broad cove concerts

[CapeBretonerinOttawa]

It's hard not to love someone from Margaree! Have been in Ontario now for 17 years :(

[PsychoCedBenson32]

Too bad the ol' man couldnt sing for us.

[PsychoCedBenson32]

I was there too. Levon FTW

[bcrowe224]

damn chris sounds good here

[jesapizza]

I second that--he is unreal

[Jnmcda0]

I was there! The Levon Helm band was excellent. I probably enjoyed them more than any opening act I've seen since the Crowes opened for ZZ Top back on the Shake Your Money Maker Tour.

[alicelookingglass]

Sweeet!

[KB5150]

WOW! Unreal. Love Levon and lord knows I love my Crowes.

Bless you Levon!
