Thanks for putting this out on You Tube. Another example of why Richard Manuel was one of the great vocalists of any era. More if you have it, please. Why would this ever have been left off the official release of the Last Waltz? So unfair to Richard.

Nice. I have this Cd. Beautiful package, made with real care and affection I think. Great version of this. I only recently realized how long they had been playing this song. It was in their set lists in the early 60s with Hawkins.
This version kicks ass! thanks for putting it up.

@ogredm. I know what you're saying, but this one still blows me away as well.

jeascoob,
Following my above post, and failures, I got pissed off and "rolled my own" (video that is .... 8?)..) to the soundtrack is the actual SNL performance I was yapping about. If you are interested, look-up my account, or click on the above "video responses". Yeah, its not the same full course serving but it is the icing on the cake !!! Hope it helps soothe the soul {8?).
BTW - sorry if 2 replies show up (1st did not show up, pos. cuz I posted the direct link to the tune ?!?!)

Thanks for trying, I would LOVE to have heard that



Great. The horn section really shines. Wonder what it would have been like if The Band actually didn't play this until Van Morrison came on and Richard and Van sung a duet of this. Van actually did a version of this on "Down the Road" (2002).

hi Shiska14 ,
thank you for the comment.
This song that Van sings is also shining.

This sounds great, but when The Band did this song on SNL I think it was better.

Thanks so much for this. The Last Waltz version of Georgia is the definitive one in my opinion.
chiidang, I've been looking for The Complete Last Waltz for years. Do you know where I can get a copy? If not, would you be willing to copy the CD's for me? I'd be happy to pay shipping etc.
Thanks again. Let me know.
