the only time I saw The Band was on this tour a few months prior at Telluride bluegrass festival. Loved every second of it. Rick did an excellent job singing all of Richard's parts. All the musicianship was still there 😎
Saw them during this tour, and they were absolutely amazing!! I even joined them for dinner after the show!!!!!! That was............special:-)
That lineup is simply awesome!
I was on the monitor board for this gig Stage Right off the deck
top level levon and Rick!!!
Song List:
"Remedy"
"Atlantic City" (Bruce Springsteen cover)
"Life is a Carnival"
All of your Band videos are terrific! Thanks for uploading them!
Like other comments, thanks for posting this! I just saw Levon Helm in Toronto last month, and videos like this just help me to relive the memories! Thanks again!
@einyo Don't worry about the de-sync. Any appreciative Band fan will be grateful that this footage is still around.
RIP Levon, God speed
Thank you for this great music.
Thanks for the footage! This is great!
i was so luckyto be able to see these guys in the twin cities in bar that was closed to anyone without a ticket, the big hose for mate is cool but that house rocked that night and the horns weren't there but they were and thats all anyone needed the most incredible night i've ever had good great or amazing is a far cry from what went down WOW
The Rockford IL show was 8-24-94 at the metro centre the band opened for Travis Tritt,
I saw these guys in 1995 or 1996 in Memphis with this lineup. Great show.
Love Garth's squeeze box!
I was at the taping of Shawn Colvin/Mary Chapin-Carpenter episode. Shawn stole the show and that was the night I was hooked on her and still am. Emmylou was haunting in perfection. Then Levon, this little frame w/big bug-like cop sunglasses, came out all alone and played ATLANTIC CITY totally solo on mandolin...my favorite music performance EVER!!!
Wow, I'm a big fan of J. Robbie Robertson, believing him to be one of rocks top ten guitarists, but I don't think The Band is missing him much here in this performance. This is a really cool performance by everyone.
Au60schild I agree, Robbie had no problem holding his own when sharing the stage with Eric Clapton. However, I wish Richard Manuel could've been there, that would have been epic
That is Jim Weider playing guitar. He is an infinitely better guitarist that Robertson.
+Greg Halliday As good as Glen Campbell do you think?
Ive seen Wieder a bunch of times. He really knows how to make a guitar talk.
Wow! Great!
The Band at their peak. Best they ever sounded.
Really? Without Richard Manuel and Robbie Robertson? For me, this is too orchestrated. And two drum kits? The original band were funkier. I mean, you could hear the individual instruments interact with each other around milliseconds of silence. And, as for Robbie, just listen to Forbidden Fruit and then tell us he is not missed.
isso é banda, aprenda... Rock, na veia, puro rock.
To be honest, I was starstrucked and it's a long time ago so I can't remember much of what was said, but I do remember that they were really, really nice guys:-)
Still missing Levon.
Me too. ME too. miss him bad.
His speaking voice was as musical as his lusty singing voice...
@ikeboywonder The other drummer is Randy Ciarlante. This lineup is actually the final one for The Band. It consists of Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson (all original members, 1967), Jim Weider (joined in 1985-lead guitar), Randy Ciarlante (1990), and Richard Bell (1992). They broke up for good after Rick's death in 1999. Of course Levon has his own highly successful band (The Levon Helm Band) and Jim Weider plays lead guitar at most of their performances.
One interesting thing I noticed watching this is Levon Helm is playing matched grip. Also he’s playing more 4 on the floor compared to Helm of old. Still has that great groove though but more rock than jazz. Think Palmer in his Asia incarnation.
@ikeboywonder nm garth was there playing accordion, any word on the second drummer?
could u please upload the original rip to kickass torrents i think its brilliant and ive got nearly everything else the the band has done and if u r looking for anything of the band just let me know
Was this ever released on CD or DVD? Where can it be found?
Levon's web site has a message that he is in the final stages of cancer...cancer sucks..
You mean you love good music? So do I.
3 band members if hudson was at this gig. also, is that jim keltner playing drums with levon? anybody know?
video and performance here is great, but I hate concert footage wherein there is even a speck of cornball crowd-shot cutaways...as benign as the endless "duet ballad" concept in Nashville. When I wanna watch THE BAND or LEVON, i don't want to see cutaways of Maynard the costumed cowboy trying to look Nashville for the canned film shoot.
Wow - how many original band members in this one - 2?
Three: Levon Helm-drums,vocals, mandolin. Rick Danko-bass, vocals. Garth Hudson-keyboards, accordian. The reference to Richard was about Richard Manuel, vocalist, piano, who passed in 1983...
Lucky, what did Rick have to say that night?
music seems to drown out the voices in this to some degree, maybe it's just me
Wow dual drums. Sorry, Grateful Dead, but these guys put you to shame.
