Maximus Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 (edited) Here's The Band again, peeps ...for my good Maximillions (and Animal Kingdom) mate Graeme, the Brown Foxy One his-self ...with a 1969 song about the last year of the US Civil War (1865)...a song that was more popular in NZ in 1971 when Joan Baez's version almost topped our charts and pissed Levon Helm off with her warbling misquoted lyrics that Helm wouldn't perform it on stage again ...or so the story goes ... here it is, The Band and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down Edited May 1, 2020 by Maximus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 It was Levon Helm(the drummer) who refused to perform it again, the above is the last time he ever sang the song and you can tell he knew it was going to be his last time, as he put so much emotion into it......watch it and see 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hesi Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 Alright Maxi, while we are on The Band, we'll make it a bit more difficult for you. Can you play what you consider to be the best performance of The Weight, by The Band, and tell us why you think it is their best....in your opinion of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maximus Posted May 1, 2020 Author Share Posted May 1, 2020 I'll give that some thought Hesi but The Band were never my scene shamefully enough..i musta been asleep for a year or so when they first made their mark BUT speaking of Joan Baez, here's one the Mustelid is playing for himself ...a beautiful, haunting, poignant and intimate ballad with effortless guitar work and a song suited to her songbird skills ..a poem set to music really ...and it's all about her relationship with ...someone famous ( Hesi will know!)

Hesi Posted May 1, 2020 Share Posted May 1, 2020 I should have known it but I didn't. I've mentioned it before on here that my neighbour is Bob Dylan's personal chef on tour.....he actually talks with her! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is not actually filmed on the night of the concert, but later in the studio, and is also superb. Mavis Staples actually came to NZ last year. I thought the following was the best version I have seen. It is in 1983 at Vancouver, just after they had reformed after the 1978 final gig. Robbie Robertson, chose not to be part of the reformed band. There was a lot of acrimony between him and the rest of the band over royalties(he wrote almost all the songs). Have a look at the pure delight on Levon Helm's(drummer) and Rick Danko's(bass player) faces as they perform. In all the performances of The Band, I have never seen them so happy on stage, and so into it.....as is the woman at 1.16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barryb Posted May 4, 2020 Share Posted May 4, 2020 Really Hesi, we are down to putting up music from the 70's & you wonder why no young ones are interested in racing. Even I think this music is dreadfully boring and belongs on the wireless sunday night after 10pm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is he mad? This site is about us, peeps, and if you don't' like it, lump it. as Maxi's dear old Mum used to say. Take it away, Stevie!
