Is there some kinda way I can give this two likes?

My dad played this song when I was younger, he was a good flat picker did a great cover on this song. RIP Dad.

Larry Campbell, your guitar playing is so damn good, I keep listening and never get tired

One thing that strikes me about Levon - every single time you see him playing, he looks like an excited small boy to be on stage singing/drumming/playing. So talented and yet so humble. RIP.

I just love this song and the looks on the faces of the players, doing what they love with the man they love, Levon Helm, "The Man". Larry Campbell's picking on this is special!

Why did it take me 9 years to find this pure gem!!!!!? Beautiful

I can’t stop coming back to hear and feel this over and over.

Found this accidentally last week. How could anyone give it a thumbs down? Absolute magic!!

Larry Campbell! This is the best version of this song I've heard.

STILL luvin this song after all these yrs. That darn LC he's f***g GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That gets better every time I watch it.

One of the best pickers and singers to ever grace a stage. Fantastic! 🎶🤗🎵

Larry Campbell is one of the most talented unknown musicians around.

close your eyes,,,, picture yourself sitting outside a cabin on the porch with your friends sipping some honeysuckle shine , swapping stories. a gentle wind flows across the hairs on your arm. the music is in your blood. the same blood as your earthly brothers. no words need be said, and this song follows that gentle breeze.and time slows down to cherish every second as if it was your last. feels good, dont it? your welcome here anytime, no judging anything, letting your souls blend together. happy, content. heaven on earth. that is how i paint my picture

His parties were amazing, he was even more amazing. He was a real good human and I'll miss him.

THIS IS REAL FRIGGIN' MUSIC !!!! First TIME I've ever heard them !!!!!

Larry Campbell is a great musician and a great guy, that’s why Levon worked with him!

I lived in Dallas for a year and came back to Austin in 1972. I knew this song and wondered if it was about Deep Elem in Dallas. Come to find out that it is! Levon and his band do a damn fine job playing it too!

Levons birthday ought to be a national holiday.

the problem with this is that there is no problem. it just caint get any better, thanks 4 posting. still can't get over it. best version. music to my ears.

can’t get this darn song out of my brain man I love it.

Levon Helm was/is a National Treasure.

I have watched this video a few times now. I come every once in a while to remember levon. This Larry buy blows me away too. That voice is incredible. I give him all my admiration for helping levon go out as he did... I hope you are repaid, my friend.

Deep Ellum... back when I lived in Ft, Worth, many years ago now was a place some of us wanted to go, we KNEW where the music was real, & so was life, rich with the good soul. Maybe I'll get back there who knows. Meantime thanks to Levon & Dirt Farmers not to mention soo many others for keeping this alive

Levon Helm was one hell of a player.

Larry Cambell blows me away!!!! Never heard of him till about a yr ago.He makes this quartet

Man, he can really plat that guitar! The guy on the bass viol's awesome too!

Love this performance. It sends out such good and positive energy

A great cast of musically gifted angels, thanks for the great sounds that just changed my state from them Deep Elem Blues Blues to bliss!

love this more traditional arrangement of the blues classic......r.i.p. Levon

I love this. Original old style country/blues. Reminds me of Guy Clarke somehow.

Wow! just blew me away, seriously talented guy and extraordinary band, Really special...thanks..

How could anybody dislike this? Wonderfull!

Those guitar solos are really awesome. And that woman in the white shirt has a great voice.

Loving it it is a reflection of levons greatness much missed

Love Larry Campbell. So talented!

Great musicianship all the way around, and Larry sounds really good on lead vocals.

Music of the 1st Class Variety....just doesn't get any better. Levon always surrounded himself with the best musicians. Miss him. Thanks for posting!

I liked this the first time I heard it. The more I hear it, the more I like it. Awesome!!!

That guitar solo Is awesome! Great all the way around.

That´s the right weight and speed! Very heavy and nice. One off our favourite tunes at the oldtime jam, Stockholm, Sweden with Rachel Eddy.

Thank you for striking the real chord that runs through Americana Blues!

I love this music so exciting love it

Levon was truly great

RIP Levon

Larry has been diagnosed with Covid-19. We wish you a speedy and full recovery.

This is wonderful version of this song. Well done by all here.

Awesome musicians. Levon Helm was a giant of his craft. I miss him. Thank goodness their music will live on forever.

I only knew the Grateful Dead version of this till now. Love it. Levon Helm RIP.

addicted to this great song

Beautiful, joyful, relaxed musicianship. Like all great bands, it's about how good the music is rather than how good the players are. This is what you learn from a lifetime of doing it well.

Gone but never, never forgotten!!!! Miss you so much Levon....the world misses you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

This band has proven that, the slower you play the song, the cooler it is.

Fantastic musicians .god bless. Levon

Levon, wish that you were still around making music.

From Wikipedia : The "Deep Elm Blues" is an American traditional song. The title of the tune refers to historical African American neighborhood in downtown Dallas, Texas, known as Deep Ellum, and a home to music legends Blind Lemon Jefferson, Blind Willie Johnson, Lead Belly, and Bill Neely. Sometimes the song's title is also spelled "Deep Elem" or "Deep Ellum."[1]The first known recording was made by the Cofer Brothers under the name of The Georgia Black Bottom on OKeh Records. The Shelton Brothers recorded various versions of this song, the first being cut in 1933 with Leon Chappelear under the pseudonym of Lone Star Cowboys for Bluebird Records. They recorded it again in 1935 for Decca Records followed by "Deep Elm No.2" and "Deep Elm No.3". Les Paul (as Rhubarb Red) recorded "Deep Elem Blues" and "Deep Elem Blues #2" on Decca in 1936. The Sheltons also recorded it in the 1940s as "Deep Elm Boogie" for King Records. Other versions of the song were made between 1957 and 1958 by Jerry Lee Lewis for Sun Records, Bobby Jackson for Gold Air Records, Mary McCoy & the Cyclones for Jin Records and, later, by Jerry Garcia, the Grateful Dead, Levon Helm, the Infamous Stringdusters, Rory Gallagher and most recently by Redhorse Black.

There was a time in America when this music was played all the time. A time when the feelings this music evokes were plentiful. Bless you Levon.

I want to like this 3 or 4 times!! I saw Larry and Teresa at the Vancouver Island Folk Festival last year. Immediately impressed, and so taken by Larry's great big grin - ALL THE TIME! Have you ever seen anyone who loves what he is doing more than this?? So, so talented, and I am a guitar player, so I know brilliance when I see it. Love these guys, and miss Ol' Levon...

It doesn't get much better than this for me. So glad I found it.
