Dr John - The Last Waltz - Such A Night - LIVE 1976 

Oh baby! No one can replace the sweet Dr. John. Always joyous. Sweet, sweet voice. I loved him. Unforgettable. So much fun! Talent galore. RIP!

Is that a gris-gris around his neck (below his pink bowtie)?

I discovered Dr John after I visited New Orleans, and I thought he was a pretty good pianist. I was very wrong. He is a LEGEND!

I recently finished the Levon Helm biography and he said it ironic Dr. Jon chose this song because he was actually becoming involved with Levons then wife Libby due to them going through problems. A year later or so Dr Jon and Libby married I believe or at least became a couple. Levon held no grudge or ill feelings and gave them his blessing. Still love this song. Speaks to me and a few situations in life that were similar. One I wish I could take back and one that brought me and my fiance together. Sorry but if I don't do it, somebody else will.

Dr. John even WALKED like he was in a Mardi Gras parade. RIP.

Man, that voice is just indescribably good for this music. What a legendary, once-every-generation musician he is. He doesn't get the respect that he really deserves, in my opinion. Like, it is insane that I had never even heard of this master NOLA musician, Dr. John, until years and years later, and I actually do know a helluva lot of music from that era. I'm a younger fella (23), and I am just so glad to have discovered this amazing work by an amazing musician. Truly in a class of his own.

No one was like Dr. John. I am privileged to have known him.

I had the pleasure of meeting the Doctor at an MMTP where I was counselor. An amazing thrill to meet a New Orleans legend!

My favourite version of this track This live version is so good. Better than the studio/album version.

He talks exactly how he sings, one of the greats

Amazing! What a vocal! What a piano!

I think this is my favorite of the entire show. 💫💥

Such an amazing performance and it does my heart good to watch Robbie Robertson joyfully sing,"If I don't do i t I know somebody else will."

he had the Band smiling and the Band hardly EVER smiled

I swear, he could sing those lyrics on the beat, behind the beat, ahead of the beat or 3 weeks after the song had ended and they would still be buttery! Glad I got to see him perform live.

Such a night. The night Big Mac. The night tripper, the High Priest of blues, the Doctor John passes away... wfw when is the March Rest In Peace

when he says " night" I go wild!!!!!!!! The way he sings it makes me so happy!!!!

Notice how he walked past Robbie to shake Levon’s hand. 🙀🙀

Always a Class Act! I hope you are Resting in Peace and Love Forever Dr. John! ✌❤🎹🎶👍😘🙏

Pure magic and joy. Sadly we’re moving further and further away from where this came from. Hopefully it will cycle around again.

What a performer a genius.....we have lost so many great musicians

I was 20 when this was filmed, to all the young folk out there ,,,, well I can’t explain the seventies,,, but if you were there,,, no explanation needed

His Gumbo Album is Quintessential New Orleans. I know the Drummer on it Freddie Staehle . He told me Jerry Wexler heard them live and went Nuts trying to get a record done. The rest is history.

Love that piano …..

RIP Dr John! such a Night!

You broke my heart the night you passed. The night tripper. My Best friend Jim.

R.i.p.

Now that was some finish.

RIP Dr. John.

A splendid musical moment. Joyful.

Rest in peace, you sweet man. ❤️🎶

RIP Good Doctor ❤ 🙏

Great voice 👌 I like to say " I dig his voice ",,,,and not feel dumb for saying the words together in 2024? But man I dig his voice

I got an announcement to make...there's some bad ribs going around! Don't nobody eat these ribs!!!

I could easily visualize Sweet Emma at Preservation Hall playing piano in this style with her one good hand.

Sadly for the film (which I love btw) his performance is edited and there is a cut just before the end. A great performance, and a great film, of a great band.

So damn good!!!

RIP a true musical legend. 😔

Der einzige Blues, den ich liebe. Als der Film 1978 in die DDR-Kinos kam, da steunten alle über den Dr. John. Nun ist er in der ganzen Welt bekannt. und unsterblich.

❤

Late 60s too. It was happening then.

映像では、この曲いいとこ端折られてんだよな

♡♡♡♡

Every night. Great.

My Dad wrote this song

So good...

After the performance Robbie summed it up: The Doctor. Nuff said. He brought joy and we need more of that today!

One of a kind

🙂❤🙏

Here you are..

so beloved~!

Dr.John最高❗️

死んじゃったわ

Dr John and Dusty Rhodes were related

Bob Dylan on the last dance

Can not get enough of this! What does Dr. John say to the Band at the beginning?

He sounds like Randy Newman.
