The Band was incredible. This is from their final concert before they disbanded. Martin Scorsese filmed the concert and made it into the movie, The Last Waltz. It's probably the best concert movie ever. They had an incredible line up of friends joining them on stage to say farewell including The Staple Singers, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, and more. The Band was extremely influential and considered one of the greatest rock bands ever. Definitely check out King Harvest (Has Surely Come), their funkiest song, and Chest Fever, with amazing organ from Garth Hudson. The Band is absolutely one of the best!

Crazy Chester was an actual person from here in Fayetteville, Arkansas. :) The Band had roots here in Arkansas, with Levon Helm born in Elaine, Arkansas. Musician Ronnie Hawkins, from the Huntsville, Arkansas area, brought members of what was to become the Band into his band, The Hawks.

One of my absolute favorite songs of all time. Just can't get enough of The Band. The drummer Levon Helm is one of greatest singers-drummers of all time. The band is actually from Canada other than Levon. He's from Arkansas. The Staples just brings in more power and emotion from this concert. Check out the Playing For Change video version where artists from all around the world link up. You should do a deep dive into The Band with "The Night They Drove Ol' Dixie Down", "Up On Cripple Creek", and many others. You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely without doubt the most musically talented of ANY group in history with each and every member proficient in several instruments. The drummer Levon Helm was actually the only American in the group with all the other members being from Canada. They played for years backing Ronnie Hawkins and then were Bob Dylans band for several years. Everyone simply referred to the members as "The Band" .........you HAVE to watch The Last Waltz. It is like an audible and visual history of American music.

@richardmartin9565 Год назад

A friend of mind claimed he knew the Staples Singers. In 1973 they were in a concert at Fenway Park. After the concert we hung around to see the performers leave. When the Staple Singers came out, the immediately recognized my friend and came over to chat. I must've been in shock since I barely remember what happened. This kid was only 19 and knew lots of well known people. He wasn't just bragging or telling tall tales.

The Staples Singers, aka, The Staples Family, were a Gospel/R&B/Soul singing group started by Roebuck 'Pops' Staples and his children Cleotha, Pervis, May and Mavis.

@randyfergus8781 Год назад

The Staple Singers were primarily a gospel group consisting of Roebuck "Pop" Staples and his three daughters. Mavis carried most of the vocal load among the sisters and is still performing. The Band are 4 Canadian musicians and Levon Helm playing the drums and singing. They got their big break when they became Bob Dylan's band when he "went electric". This performance is from the documentary "The Last Waltz" commemorating their last time performing as the Band. They invited people who had influenced them throughout the years to join them on stage. Fortunately there was a glitch either the recording of this song live at the show or in even getting the Staples to be there. In either case, Martin Scorsese, who directed the whole thing, wanted the Staples and the Band in the documentary and got them together in a studio with this masterpiece being the result.

So is Mavis Staples. She said she had a massive crush on Robbie Robertson (guitar player) in that video. If you watch closely she whispers "beautiful" at the very end of the song, she said she was talking about Robbie.

@stevedahlberg8680 Год назад

Silver dollar city, laugh. Oh my God man this band is so cool and was so beloved. This song and very many others we're just so catchy and became so well known. I swear to God, even nowadays, with people my age and even 20 years younger, you go to a bonfire or a front porch Jam or out in the shed and back for a jam or anything like that, and there are about 30 or 40 songs that are extremely likely to pop up that enough people know that you can just start strumming your acoustic guitars and whatever else to it and then everybody sings it and everybody knows the words. This is one of those. Another huge hit for them that is so beloved is called up on cripple creek. And then another one is The Night They Drove Old Dixie down. It's just so emotional and so memorable it just sticks in your mind. Ophelia was another popular one by them.

@calebclunie4001 Год назад

A song that's irresistible, to sing along to. This is a call, to share The Weight, by joining with others...a call, for collaboration. It's a fantastic collaboration, so they're leading, by example. The people, who were inspired by Jack Kerouac, to go out, "On The Road", searching for truth, beyond the white picket fences (that may represent wedges between people), had found that there's a lot of emotion, tied to leaving loved ones behind; and then there's the journey, with its pitfalls, basically a rollercoaster of unknown outcomes. Through, facing hurdles, with others who were on their path, they learn valuable lessons, of an experiential nature. (i.e. Though one may have resiliency, in an individual reservoir, when we join with others, there can be more momentum, and inspiration, and sense of purpose, and belonging, due to feedback). In the end, the ride of unknowns, feeds a longing to return to solace, and realization, that it's time for a restoration. That's my take, on this song, at least. The Staples were singing Gospel, and Soul, and the whole country needed, that deep down healing. The Oscar Winning Documentary of the year, "Summer Of Soul", from Director Questlove, of The Roots fame, features a bit of The Staples. Mavis Staples, singing alongside Mahalia Jackson, is not only a piece of music history, it is a piece of the human story. Mavis, literally, takes the load. I think, it's a shining example, of what humans can do for each other, when they respond with empathy. We're all entangled, so it's in our interest, to keep all boats above water. Forward, Humanity! Forward!

The Staples singers are a different group or band from The Band. The Staples are giants in the soul and gospel world, but The Band draws on the soul and gospel traditions for so much of their music. I mean, there's a reason so many of the Staples family are singing on this song -- it's so easy to render it as a gospel song. It's about being down-and-out and also redemption.
