When I Paint My Masterpiece (Remastered) · The Band
The last piece of The Band is gone. RIP, Garth Hudson. Great, thanks to the musical gift he gave us. Rip Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko and Richard Manuel.
Love “The Band”… I always have. There is a documentary called “The Last Waltz” that I fell in love with a little over a decade or so back. I still watch it every few years, and it’s just as good as the first time every time. If you have some time, and you’re a fan who hasn’t seen it? I’d definitely watch it.
Once upon a time, when bands still were bands, there was THE BAND!
Levon Helm’s vocals are special. I love Dylan wrote it and love his version, but this is my go-to version.
Only one man left on that bench now. All men left on that bench now.
An angel singing with one of the best bands ever. True, true... 1st time seeing this... Excellent! Emmylou melts my heart! You need to see The Last Waltz:
The Band - The Last Waltz (40th Anniversary)Why the Band’s ‘The Last Waltz’ Is the Greatest Concert Movie of All Time
How Martin Scorsese's film of the group's legendary farewell show changed the way live music felt onscreen
Released in 1978
The Last Waltz was a concert by the Canadian-American rock group the Band, held on American Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1976, at Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. The Last Waltz was advertised as the Band's "farewell concert appearance",[2] and the concert had the Band joined by more than a dozen special guests, including their previous employers Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan, as well as Paul Butterfield, Bobby Charles, Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Emmylou Harris, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, the Staple Singers, Ringo Starr, Muddy Waters, Ronnie Wood, and Neil Young. The musical director for the concert was the Band's original record producer, John Simon.
The concert was produced and managed by Bill Graham and was filmed by director Martin Scorsese, who made it into a documentary of the same title.
The Band & The Beautiful Emmylou at their best in this studio cut from The Last Waltz......... Thank you, Mr Scorcese for capturing this moment when they were all at the top of their game.
Legend has it that Robbie Robertson wrote this whole song the night before! He did
And now the entire band is together forever. RIP to the best group of my 80 years.
This song sounds like a folk song from hundreds of years ago passed down from generation to generation, i cant believe it was written the night before this performance. It's pure magic, genius
Every time I listen to this, I feel privileged and humble. This is pure musical magic. It touches every emotional fiber in my soul.
Saw The Last Waltz on TV for the first time in 1980. Watching this song, I was obsessed, who is that lovely girl singing like an angel? Went out and bought Blue Kentucky Girl, my first purchase of a country album, and the rest is history. Also amazed that they only rehearsed it once, most of the band were playing not their normal instrument, and it was written the night before. Will never tire of watching this performance. Thank you to Martin Scorsese.
This is the song my parents names me after, pretty cool.
The best of the real music that was anti-disco of the late 70s. The Band
A Song For You · Leon Russell 1970
Some songs are good, some are better, and other's like this are a forever beauty.
This is truly history, perfection and beauty, Don't forget the remarkable talent of this soulful singer
I love the sound of the horn (I think it's a trombone) playing in the background of the piano and Leon's voice, especially towards the end of the song. So beautiful.
I love how the song’s end seems unfinished, implying it is not the end. I totally agree with you! What a perfect observation. Beautiful, yet unresolved.
This song has been recorded by quite a few singers. Most have better voices and are generally accompanied by more involved orchestration. I always come back to Leon Russell: he delivers the deepest of heartfelt feeling. Like many other commenters here, it usually brings a tear to my eye. That is the power of true artistry.
I have had many loves in my life, which makes me a fortunate person. However, the romances didn't last as long as I would've thought. No matter. I have a song attached to each love story. This one goes out to the last one.
As I age, I realize how this song mirrors my life. I even have long gray hair now.
It's A Hard Rain Gonna Fall · Leon Russell 1971
The world needed you, Leon. The world misses you
Out of the 843,529 views this has been listened to, I've done about 48,000.
Back in 1971... Hearing Leon do this great song to perfection was such a heartfelt message to all those who knew war was wrong and only profited the 1%.... Saw Leon the last time live at the Key Palace theater in Redkey Indiana when Charlie Noble, who bought the old movie theater in 1986 and turned it into a blues venue. He got him on the blues circuit. He packed that place and was so gracious to sign albums and CD covers from his bus out back. Never forget him.
