The lead singer / drummer on this is the legendary Levon Helms. The band is from Canada except of Levon, he's from Arkansas. He also played Lorretta Lynn's father in "Coal Miner's Daughter". This is one of my favorite songs of all time and can still get me a bit emotional. In their farewell concert, "The Last Waltz" they had the Staple Singers with them, and it would just give you chills. There is a compilation video of singers from around the world singing this that is outstanding. Also, their "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" is another story telling song describing the Civil War from a southern civilian's point of view.

Actually the Last Waltz version is a studio recording not live. It was recorded during the production of the Album The Last Waltz from the movie of the same name. Some of the members of The Band were pissed off at Robbie for including some acts (Like Niel Diamond which Robbie just happend to be producing an album for at the time) and leaving out others that really had an influence on them like the Staples Singers. They produced a studio version with The Staples Singers that looked like a live performance so it would fit in with the live theam of the Album/Concert. Personally, this is undoubtedly the best version of The Weight I've heard. This information was from Levon Helms book, This Wheels On Fire.

@bobbabai Год назад

I think a big part of The Band's appeal back in the late '60s is that they were one of the groups that made country / hillbilly / southern / mountain music styles attractive again to rock audiences. I think many in those audiences had a longing for musical styles that were more than 10 or 20 years old. Their outward appearance and political sensitivities were definitely on the progressive/rock side, but they embraced the old style music traditions they grew up with.

@craigm.9070 Год назад

@bobbabai Год назад

I think I've lost track of what "supergroup" means. Didn't it originally mean two or more groups that collaborated for a while to produce records or do big concerts? Or groups that formed from members of previous big groups? I think in the case of The Band, they backed up and worked with Bob Dylan and I think other big names. It didn't hurt that Martin Scorsese did The Last Waltz documentary on them, although they may have have the "supergroup" label before that film was made. Am I remembering this correctly? I do think the term died fairly quickly by the mid-to-late '70s.

Every band wanted to be like them for their ability to blend genres and yet have authentic songwriting. They very largely inspired the modern throw back folk-rock and Americana explosion. Thank you for hitting them! There iiiisss, however, a version of this thay would blow your socks off. It is also live, but without a crowd and from their official concert documentary made by Martin Scorcese! And featuring The Staples Singers. Let me tell you, the Band playing this and the Staples Singers (pioneering soul/gospel family band) joining in is what magic is made of. Ooooh boy amen hallelujah howdy!

@matzabean Год назад

The rhythmic freedom in the singing comes directly from Levon playing the drums. His right hand is playing straight eighths on the high hat while most of his vocal phrases are swung/triplet based. This creates a looseness/tension (weird combo) that’s soooo compelling! The high harmonies, btw, come from the bass player Rick Danko, who also sang the “crazy Chester” verse.

No one in my family was into Country, but my parents owned the double album The Last Waltz by The Band.

This song is an eternal favourite of mine, along with Evangeline featuring Emmylou Harris on the same album.

@mhlevy Год назад

"The Band" began as the backing band for Ronnie Hawkins and eventually for Bob Dylan. Every member of the group were multi-instrumentalists, and all but Garth Hudson (their incredible keyboard player) performed vocals, and you have it correct. Their voices blend so incredibly well, whether they're harmonizing or not. Every song they performed told a story, much of it was based on living in the heartland and trying to make one's way in the world. Their style really didn't fit any sort of popular genre, but they were incredibly successful given all the elements they wove together in their music. Their first 2 albums (For a while in the late 60s, they were one of the biggest bands in the world, and had an incredible set at Woodstock in 1969. They were very influential in their day, influencing and touring with Crosby, Stills & Nash and The Grateful Dead. Everybody wanted to play with them, including Eric Clapton and George Harrison of The Beatles.

@CharCanuck14 Год назад

I have often heard The Band's music referred to as "Americana" and I was cool with that even though all but Levon were from Ontario, Canada. I've had the pleasure/honour/thrill of seeing them perform in Toronto - early '70's and it was always amazing!

@bobbabai Год назад

I don't think their voices blended very well at all. What was great about their singing styles is they were each allowed to be just who they were and they were celebrated for it. I always thought Danko's and even Robertson's voices came through pretty rough and intrusive at times, but it was just fine. They loved singing and performing and Levon loved having them around. They sounded like a group of friends who had for years sung around the campfire or put on barn shows for the neighbors.

So much to say about The Band itself and their Woodstock performance. It was not included in the official material for many years, because they were supposedly not happy about their show. So many incredible songs from those 5 amazingly talented artists. So much disagreement and different standpoints. And still, they were among the most influential Bands during their prime and in history. And as the legend says, the reason Eric Clapton dissolved Cream after listening to their music. The whole Americana genre wouldn't be the same today without them. Coming back to the song, there is the incredible 50th anniversary version for "Playing for change" that Robbie's son worked on as a gift for his fathers birthday. Very few songs in the last few years give a better feeling and offer a better message - 'Song around the world'

Garth Hudson played organ, accordian, and saxophone. Rick Danko was their third lead vocalist and also the bassist. About the only member that just specialized in one particular area was guitarist Robbie Robertson but he also wrote most of the songs.

@adammorse5264 Год назад

Great to see you do this one! The key here is that their voices are very raw, but yet they harmonize, using blues scales and singing from the gospel tradition (which is what you're referring to by the 'throw-away' approach). For context: Robbie Robertson rarely sang - his mic was actually supposed to be turned off (it almost always is in Band performances), but it was mistakenly turned on here. Who you sadly do not see is Richard Manuel, who switches with Garth Hudson on this song, who is on keyboards. For this tune Richard is playing the organ part, but it is he who is getting the high falsetto, not Robertson. Where this technique really comes through is their version of "I Shall Be Released", one of many tunes where Richard's voice just absolutely shines. The Band's cover of "Georgia on My Mind" is another great example - no one else can really cover Ray Charles like Richard Manuel. Highly recommend if you haven't discovered this genre yet - the roots music rabbit hole is endless!

NOT the principal singer, as a matter of fact. Richard was considered the primary singer in the group, particularly by his band mates.

Robbie was NOT necessarily a singer & his microphone was routinely turned off during live performances. He enjoyed the visual of being part of their amazing harmonies, but that simply was not the case! He sang lead on only two minor songs on any of their many studio releases.

I shall be released, whispering pines, and tears of rage by them, might catch your ear as a singer.

They started playing together in the 50s so they knew each other very well, and could blend perfectly.

Did not know they were at Woodstock. Liked the rendition in The Last Waltz. One of my all time favorite groups.

Used to go see him every other weekend at his "barn" Levon Helm studio in Woodstock, NY for their midnight rambles, good times, RIP Levon

Nothing like the 60’s… I’m a 90’s child and no wonder Woodstock 99 was a total disaster 😂 this is gold ❤

Robbie Robertson the most famous. Most known at first as Dylan's backup band. Last Waltz gave them global renown and mythic credibility. Joan Baez (the greatest folk singer) had her biggest pop hit covering The Night they Drove Ol' Dixie Down" (you need to play this one!). Along with the Grateful Dead, The Band made touring fashionable, with passionate cult-like followers seeing their every venue, the way they do today.

The high voice is Richard Manuel who is off camera. You need to hear It Makes No Difference from The Last waltz

So nice to see you just grooving to it. Makes me want to take you dancing. Wjsh more music these days was like this.

Levon Helm was special. I'm sure he worked very hard to hone his drumming and singing, but everything he did looked easy.

@randyfergus8781 Год назад

Levon was also quite the mandolin player

@CharCanuck14 Год назад

Levon's godson, Jerome Levon Avis, has a tribute band called The Last Waltz. I've seen them twice and he naturally plays drums & sings.....and if you close your eyes it almost feels like Levon is on stage.

@robertneves1116 Год назад

by far my favorite group of all time with 3 different lead vocals you should check out Old Rockin Chair with Richard Manuel singing lead

@tomst.antoine7742 Год назад

My favourite of their songs. Love the 3 part harmonies and the ending...

@framusburns-hagstromiii808 Год назад

Its called american music..raw soulful bluesy....unpolished perfection. The rawness gives it its drive . Its gets better everytime i hear it. These guys were the best at it. Check out Delaney and Bonnie and Friends....if you like the band youll get it.

Levon was a giant. One of the true musicians’ musicians.

This is one of the songs that will live on forever in our American culture

@whodat6484 Год назад

Side note, you should hear his voice after his battle with throat cancer. He was told he'd never sing again yet he released some of my favorite songs after. Wide River to Cross or When I Go Away are the first that come to mind.

I've loved "The Band" since the early 70's. Love Levon Helm and Rick Danko's voice. Robbie Robertson is part Native American, in case you are interested.

Robbie Robertson , Mohawk indigenous from the six nation reserve did the soundtracks for Bands of New York, Ragging Bull, etc and recently the movie coming out Oct 20/23 called the Killers of the Flower Moon.

Levon was just one of their three main singers, he just did some of their most known songs. All of them, Levon Helm, Rick Danko and Richard Manual, had really different and interesting voices besides all five of them being incredibly skilled on their instruments. For me Richard Manual had the most touching voice of them, songs like I Shall Be Released, Rockin Chair or King Harvest. Fanny in the US means the opposite side of the same part of the body, so it's different. One of the first all female rock bands that got signed was called Fanny.

@CharCanuck14 Год назад

Love Fanny.........June, Jean, Nickey & Alice were my heroes back in the early 70's!

@dr.s. Год назад

@@CharCanuck14 June, Jean and Alice played with Patti Quatro and Brie Brandt/Howard/Darling as well as Cherie Currie of the Runaways and Kathy Valentine of the Go-Go's a few days (maybe two weeks) ago. They were really an incredible band, I was born to late, I just recently stumbled apon them. There is some really nice live footage of them here on RU-vid that i got recommended twice, so I felt kinda forced to watch it. The records were unfortunately a bit overproduced. These girls knew how to play and - like The Band - they had three really great lead singers.

@michaelstevens8224 11 месяцев назад

good on you, cookie for groovin' to this stellar song. i noticed you getting jiggy to garth hudson's organ at the end. he gave all the band members musical lessons. garth is thee unsung hero of the band. dude was the all of it!

@dan112965 Год назад

One of my absolute favorite songs

@travissmith7009 Год назад

Best Canadian southern rock band ever

Levon Helm was also in the movie, "Shooter", with Mark Walberg. He was the old man who was a ballistics expert.

G'day Beth, While your insight into the singing is very interesting it is great to see you get taken away when you really enjoy a song, your face is very emotionally expressive. I know this song more when it was covered by Jimmy Barnes & The Badloves in '93, like you there are many Awesome songs my brain has forgotten by name & artist that I do know especially from listening to the radio in my childhood. I was born in '71 so while I was too young to really remember The Weight I must have heard it enough for it to be subconscious as I could sing along straight away with Jimmy & Michael Spiby in the '90s.
