best new(er) DMB song. album version is dirty as hell, but brilliant. imma gonna get sued, but this is my bread and butter sometimes.
Friendly women! I'm sure with Robbie's looks and killer smile he would have his pick of friendly women, for free.
That’s a stupid comment
@@oilyshoes9969 Why please explain. It is the truth. I'm a huge fan of Robbie's, certainly his songwriting talent, guitar playing, but can't get around that he was incredibly good looking and full of charisma.
@@hannejeppesen1809 what would you like me to explain- why he is the leader of the band? I will
@@oilyshoes9969 No it is not necessary. Levon was not the leader. Read Barney Hoskyns biography of The Band, Levon was not a decision maker, he was suspicious of managers, accountants, ect. he even admitted it in an interview how "the suits" ruined everything. However, when you are successful those are necessary, thus Robbie became the de facto leader. Also according to their manager at the time, Jon Taplin, Robbie would be in the morning writing songs, Levon was still sleeping (probably Rick, and Richard as well)when Taplin tried to wake up Levon he came after him with a knife. I love all The Band Member's, I'm of their generation, and they were all so talented, although I have to admit I have a real soft for Rick, and of course Robbie, but that does not alter the facts.
@@hannejeppesen1809 I didn’t say Levon was the leader. Not sure what comment you thought I wrote
robbie was high as a kite
Not sure about that, could be. High or not his has so much charisma and looks you can't stop looking at him and listening to him.
I miss you both so much I don't have words. Please make a place for me if you can.
What was so amazing about The Band? I never could understand why the Critics had such a massive erection for them
We all have different taste, they had and still do many fans.
Robbie...movie star handsome. RIP.
He was in a movie "Carny" with Jodie Foster and Gary Busey. He never looked more handsome than in that movie. I watched a few days ago, and might watch it again, just to see Robbie. It is available on Utube.
@@hannejeppesen1809i saw that movie in 1980, a couple yrs after Busey was in The Buddy Holly Story😊😊
@@hannejeppesen1809He couldn't act to save his life, though.
@@zippymufo9765 He did a nice job, not Oscar material, but he wasn't bad. One critic called his perfomance "commendable". Anyway, he was not a movie star nor did he want to be one, he was a musician.
@@hannejeppesen1809 Uh, he definitely wanted to be a movie star 😂😂😂 He had all kinds of scripts he planned on producing so he could star in, because he had people like you kissing his ass telling him how handsome he was. But after his "commendable" (which means "he sucked but nice try") performance he was smart enough to realize he had no acting talent.
Levon never lost his Arkansas Accent.
Levon was just damn cool
The coolest. That stare…something so genuine about it.
I stayed at Levon Helms house upstate..
Legends! Thank you for the music and the unforgettable vibes! Rest in peace Levon and Robbie🙏🏼💔🫶🏻
I love Levon always his talent was Neverending Robbie a little too stuck on himself for me
Too bad they didn't come up front about how much drugs they did.
I haven't read Levon's book, but Robbie is very open about it in his book "Testimony". He didn't do heroin, which Levon, Rick and Richard did. However, as Robbie wrote it is hard to be in judgement of someone when you are no angel yourself.
What a loss that the both of them are gone. 😔😔 So long, Levon and Robbie. When musicians had a good sense of charisma and didn't lower themselves to a ridiculous level of on-stage stupidity.
The Greatest American Rock Band was 4/5th CANADIAN!!!!!
R.I.P Levon and Robbie, I strongly expect that you play together in Heaven!!!
rip levon and robbie T-T
Robbie was so cute.
Gorgeous is more like it.
I’m straight and I get flustered looking at the guy. 🏆
ROBBIE met LEVON at the other end like he promised.Hope their collaborating on some projects up there🙏R.I.P,brothers.
RIP Robbie. 😢🎸
RIP, Robbie Roberston. Hope they're playing together in Rock 'n' Roll Heaven.
And, now, we've lost them both....☹😢
The Band is getting back together in another relm today. Thank you for everything
Not yet, still missing garth Hudson!
They call it the Helm Relm
love you robbie. rest easy
Robbie moved on today. RIP
The most fake band you will ever see! Only one was American well American by todays standards and he watched so many films about the south he might as well of been in a film 😂 and Robbie was a rich jew which is cool but its how he got famous! The critics were desperate for them to become big for some reason? But the people saw through it and no one bought there records, dont think thry even had one number?? The weight which was obviously wrotten by Dylan that robbie stole ,which he did most of his songs. Remember dylan just used to tyoe and play song after song and not even remember, didnt even remember biaz song of his, its a bit weird all good band songs were done with dylan around! None of the band are especially good but Robbie is a bad person like levon
You couldn't be more wrong. It was not a fake band. What does it matter if the were American or Canadians, they were great. Robbie was not a rich Jew. His Jewish dad died before the was born. His mother married a man named Robertson, who turned out to abusive to her and Robbie, he was also part Indian. The Weight was not written by Dylan. It seems like you spinning tales out of thin air.
You need to extend your therapy
Rea@@barrymorgenstein201 Really based on what? Because we disagree on the musical group? Perhaps you need therapy to learn that not everyone thinks alike or have the same taste. That is why there's chocolate and vanilla ice cream.
Get buggered
@@benp4877 You sound like a nice reasonable person!!
So does everyone from Toronto talk in slow motion, or is it just Robbie...?
didnt you ever see that simpsons where the kid says “i come from canada they think im slow eh”
@@knightfall9394 My parents forbade me from watching The Simpsons. I'm still trying to fill in the gaps it left in my education.
Robertson was a great songwriter. Helm was a great singer and drummer.
Robbie could play a little too.
Two different personalities completely ! It's easy to see and hear why Robbie wrote most of those outstanding songs ... His street wise smartness is so evident here . For me he's the coolest cat in rock and roll history ... I also believe that the fallout between the two men was blown out of proportion ,especially by the music press ...IMO ...
I totally agree with the first part. Unfortunately, it wasn't exaggerated. Watch "Once were Brothers"
How can he be the coolest cat? He looked like a dick most of the time and wrote about three good songs and they weren't even successful
Writing songs is a specialized talent. More so other things- and RR pretty much had it all. Having said that- it woulda been cool if RR got 50% of publishing and the four others split the remaining 50%…
@@barakpickoh yes it was!
Wrong - he was a spoiled Jew from Canada. Do your research
so I'm just finding out about this song now. lol
Band fans luv to hate on Robbie. Without RR, they would have been a cover band.
While he may have been a jerk on occasion, this is very true, and he knew it.
I don't think Robbie was a jerk, perhaps he was a little more ambitious that the other guys, also I think more of an intellectual, although he didn't have any advanced degrees. Someone said about him he was the most impressive self taught person he knew.@@hardtoimaginable
Robbie's so fckn high lmaoo
They were hot! 🔥
That guy is tripping
New York is definitely double entendre
“An adult dose”
Neil Diamond? Really? Spit that shit out Roberta!
They are so high
I don't see it. Robertson looks stoned in every interview.
@@scottreed8985 C'mon, don't you know that EVERY single interview by some sort of celebrity in history was done while high? I know this, because every single CZcams clip of a celeb interview features tons of comments claiming they are high.. LOL.
When Levon talks Robbie looks at him, when Robbie talks Levon neither looks at him or reacts. You can tell Levon don't like his ass!!!
THE TRUE BAND OF BOB DYLAN ¡¡¡
That’s Loretta Lynn’s daddy
I arrived in NYC mid Jan 1983, 32 years old, snow on the ground, freezing cold, didnt know anybody, thin jacket, Blue Jeans, holes in my Boots where I had put cardboard in both of them to keep out the cold and wet, a small Carry On bag, A British Passport and $27 cash in my pocket and nobody to call for more.... I loved it from the moment I got off the JFK Airport Bus at East 41St and Park Avenue South.. I lived there for two years and it was the City I needed at that time, and what a time it was... First I lived in an International Hostel on W88St and Central Park West and then later moved into a Studio on 9th St and 2nd Ave in the East Village and became a Bicycle Messenger ...I will always love the Big Apple...
Good luck with that
Whatever turns you on
Levon reminds me of Robert Shaw's Capt Quint from Jaws. "You go in the cage... The cage goes into the water... The shark is in the water .
Se need a bigger boat!!
excellent everyone is boring these days,,, pretty much... ...more freedom back then...
If this was 1978, look at Levon 1983czcams.com/video/ptrYNzmma64/video.html
I believe Bernie Taupin wrote a Great phrase, "I thought I knew, but now I know that rose trees never grow, in New York City.."🎶 from "Mona Lisas and mad hatters." Levon and Robbie saw a time in New York History when it was a good one. I thank the Lord for people like Levon and Robbie, and the Band and Sir Elton John and Bernie Taupin. 🇨🇦✌🏻🎶🎸❤️✨🌎💫
I had the same thought when they were talking about New York City, I automatically played “Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters” in my head too!
The big difference between the two is incredible
Yes, but if you read Robbie's book, they were quite close, and Robbie look at Levon as his big brother. Robbie was an only child that grew up with a physically abusive stepfather. I'm an only adopted child, I understand some of Robbie's personality. It was only later when Levon started to do heroin that things changed between them, but I think Robbie always loved Levon, even years later when Levon wrote his book and it came out how bitter he was.
They're fucked up
I could listen to Levon talk until the end of time.
He reminds me so much of my grandmother. Turns out they were born 40 miles apart.
Me too
I would stick a donut in his tea 🍵
Ok, I am a bit late to the party here. So what happened with Robbie and the band? He ripped them all off, right? Please does anybody know the story, or where I can find out about it?
You are in the perfect position then - buy the albums, fall in love with the music, and forget everything else...you don’t need it.
@@brawnwurst5134 I am in love already! Thanks mate. Got King Harvest on repeat- Levon is so outrageously funky!
It's a little more complicated than that, but yeah a lot of the fighting was about Robbie getting most of the money/song credits. Both of them have books which are great reads- Testimony for Robertson and This Wheel's On Fire for Helm.
It resembles the Wilson/Love feud in the Beach Boys, as I understand it
@@brawnwurst5134 good answer bro people love to dig for timewasting dirt
These boys lived together 15+ years. After the split fought about money. Why u never sign nothing without a lawyer reading it first
Good advice with one proviso: make sure the lawyer is in your court!
God look at them!😍😍
Love the scary movie 2 pic lol
@@jeffreyflynn5746 it’s funny lol
I absolutely love Levon's ways of phrasing things. Referring to New York City as "an adult portion". Fantastic. Dude would've made for a great side character on Justified.
Levon looks like a trucker and Robbie looks like a Mick Jagger wannabe. LOL!
XC
Looks like levon took a walk on the wild side lol
Oh shit, great call. Levon Helm on Justified. It's so perfect, I can't believe I didn't think of it already.
I think of that phrase often ‘that was an adult portion …’ amazing dude ..
He said he told President Trump about the song and received approval for it. He said he thought it was funny. Tells you how good natured he is. Don’t believe the lies of the enemy.
Oh I bet he thought it was hilarious. Almost as hilarious as him inciting an attack on the Capital. What a great guy.
@@Ben4Real wow people Like you are so brainwashed!
Jon Dowling- You know that Bruce dislikes him don't you? Trump is a canker on the US & 2 much of a narcissist 2 understand song is not flattering.
@@IR-yb1tb That's your opinion and you don't know What God is using President Trump to do. Sounds like you've been watching too much mainstream fake news. Bruce unfortunately is brainwashed from past inculcations of his upbringing. Soon the truth will come out for all to see.
