'Ophelia' | Levon Helm and the Midnight Ramblers | Sound Tracks Quick Hits | PBS

Filmed in February 2012 as part of the Sound Tracks: Quick Hits series by the Talbot Players in association with PBS Arts (http://www.facebook.com/soundtrackstv).

Levon Helm - drummer and lead singer for The Band - presides over what he calls "midnight rambles" -- concerts in his Woodstock, N.Y. barn, where he's surrounded by musical friends and family, including his daughter, singer Amy Helm. His voice may be raspy, but his energetic drumming and high-beam smile can warm the coldest winter night.

I will forever be a lifelong regret I never made it to a midnight ramble. I had big plans, but never acted on them.

Lesson learned, you have to act when you have the time; you never get it back. The best things always disappear.

Rest easy Levon, we won't forget how you made us feel.

Wow. One of my all-time favorite songs by the Band. I can only imagine how great these midnight rambles must have been. I only recognize Donald Fagen on piano, but this was clearly a great group of musicians on this night

Really captures the spirit of the Ramble. A Special place.
