  • The Band & The Beautiful Emmylou at their best in this studio cut from The Last Waltz.........Thankyou Mr Scorcese for capturing this moment when they were all at the top of their game.
    Such a shame that so many of these talented musicians have now passed on.....Richard, Rick and Levon RIP.
    In particular Thankyou Levon for your influence.

    I don't know I've watched it maybe 70, 80 times over the last 45 years. If there is a genre called Americana, this is it. These performers' impact on our music was and is profound. They are masters of their craft. I'll be watching until my boat goes down.

    Levon Helm was so good as Loretta Lynn's father in Coal Miners Daughter that the real Loretta burst into tears first seeing him on screen - it was her father come to life.

      I agree. That scene where he takes Loretta to the train stop and says, "I'll never see you again" is heart wrenching. Should have won him a best supporting Oscar for that performance.

    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.

    The pisser is that this song was written by Robbie Robertson the night before this take on film. Some of the singers (like Emmylou) were reading lyrics off of big cards held up off-camera. They only rehearsed it once before the take. (All testified by Levon in an interview years later). So listen to this arrangement, the vocals, and the keyboard work by Garth. Absolutely Stunning.

    Lyrics:
    She stands on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
    Alone in the pale moonlight
    Waiting for a man, a riverboat gambler
    Said that he'd return tonight
    They used to waltz on the banks of the mighty Mississippi
    Loving the whole night through
    'Til the riverboat gambler went off to make a killing
    And bring it on back to you
    Evangeline, Evangeline
    Curses the soul of the Mississippi queen
    That pulled her man away
    Bayou Sam, from the south Lousianna
    Had gambling in his veins
    Evangeline, from the Maritimes
    Was slowly going insane
    High on the top of hickory hill
    She stands in the lightning and thunder
    Down on the river, the boat was a-sinking
    She watched that queen go under
    তিনি শক্তিশালী মিসিসিপির তীরে দাঁড়িয়ে আছেন
    ফ্যাকাশে চাঁদের আলোয় একা
    একজন মানুষ, নদীর নৌকা জুয়াড়ির জন্য অপেক্ষা করছে
    বলেছিল আজ রাতে ফিরবে
    তারা শক্তিশালী মিসিসিপির তীরে ওয়াল্টজ করত
    সারা রাত ধরে ভালোবাসা
    'নদীর নৌকার জুয়াড়ি খুন করতে গেল যতক্ষণ না
    এবং এটি আপনার কাছে ফিরিয়ে আনুন
    ইভানজেলিন, ইভানজেলিন
    মিসিসিপি রানীর আত্মাকে অভিশাপ দেয়
    যে তার লোকটিকে দূরে টেনে নিয়ে গেছে
    বাইউ স্যাম, দক্ষিণ লুসিয়ানা থেকে
    তার শিরায় জুয়া ছিল
    Evangeline, মেরিটাইমস থেকে
    আস্তে আস্তে পাগল হয়ে যাচ্ছিল
    হিকরি পাহাড়ের চূড়ায় উঁচু
    সে বাজ এবং বজ্রের মধ্যে দাঁড়িয়ে আছে
    নদীর ধারে নৌকা ডুবে যাচ্ছিল
    সে দেখল সেই রানীকে নীচে যেতে

    "THE BAND" - One of the BEST - if not, THE BEST BAND - in HISTORY! Yes Sir!
    Listen well to ALL their albums - and you'll never be the the same - thank God!

    I'm a lifelong fan of Sweet Emmylou, but I just stumbled across this great video. Wow, this is as good as music gets. Love it, love it, love it...
