The Band - If you've never seen the The Last Waltz (the movie) you should:

 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Last_Waltz

Big fan of The Band PJ, also must have watched The Last Waltz about 20 times.

That performance of The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, is the last time Levon Helm ever sang the song live.  You could tell by watching the performance, that he knew it was going to be the last, as he puts everything into it.

Sadly the 3 great voices of The Band are now dead, Richard Manuel(hung himself), Rick Danko(heart failure) and Levon Helm(throat cancer)

3 of the greatest voices in the history of rock.

They got all the recognition Peter, they were never after commercial success, but their legacy, is that they influenced those that followed so much.  For them, that was their recognition

Another piece of trivia, if you are a Band fan, is that, the lead guitarist Robbie Robertson, who wrote most of the songs(The Weight), had a crap voice, so when they were playing live, the sound engineer used to turn off or down, his microphone, most of the time

It never happened at Woodstock, so the performance of The Weight, sounds awful, and why it was never included on the Woodstock triple album.....remember that

Them - Here Comes the Night (Audio) ft. Van Morrison

FROM

Russell Morris - Sweet Sweet Love

Part words don't count....rule clarification please:classic_rolleyes:

I'll tell you why smartass. PJ was the one who posted 4 totally unrelated songs after one of Maria's.

I just chose one of them to move things back to the rules that you seem to know so much about.

You've kicked a huge own goal on this one champ.
