  • @Siamterri64 - you are correct - this is not the version on the last waltz album - that was with the staples, and did have "many voices". However that version with the staples was not done on the night of the last waltz recording, at the live show, but was done at a studio separately. the version we have here is the one played on the night of the last waltz concrt at the actual concernt, so it is the real last waltz version. it is also the finest version ever done.

  • @maclake Yes. Bill Graham recorded the entire concert (including the jam session after the main performance). It's in black and white, but the quality is good

  • @MrNikodemus2 even better than the aretha/duane allman version ? i dunno...............

  • @MrNikodemus2 I have seen the performance of this from the actual concert (Bill Graham filmed the whole show — including the jam session). This should have made the movie. Nothing against the Staples soundstage version (I love the Staples), but this is the best live version I have heard of the song.

  • This is the really THE BAND SOUND! Piano and Organ are so good! So nice to listen!

  • One of my favorites!!!! Take a weight off Fannie

  • @MrNikodemus2 also, the best version of Don't Do It and the best version of Neil Young's Helpless.

  • ;-) :-) thankyou

  • this is the verson sheryl crow put on her "favourites" album.... the one which starbucks used to sell... a few years back.

  • I want this version played in my funeral.
