Hudson seems like one of those musicians like Monk or Sun Ra or Wayne Shorter who just exists on some extra dimensional plane where music is their first language.

Just saw Garth last night at the Midnight Ramble at Levon Helm Studio. He absolutely blew me away. Some of the best playing I've ever heard. Heartfelt, erratic, sweet, and melodic all rolled into one. I'm so glad I got to experience seeing him play. Please live forever, Garth!

warming up? i did that when i was 12...true maestro...smart as a whip..hard interview..Garth always was mr.Magic to me,,he took great songs,,into higher places

Garth's verbal communication is on another level entirely, just like his amazing musical abilities... and that's just fine by me!

Great interview! love the idea of notes as numbers. Love Garth's special style.

Genius. We love ya, Garth!

The way he talks reminds me of my father, brilliant people don't think they need to explain some things, because everyone should understand what they are saying.

The Heart and Soul of The Band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Those guys since 60s l loved 74yrs old now from Toronto miss Robbie and Richard turning the cigarette machine upside down to get a package out..ha,ha,RI.P...always LARRY

Garth sounds like he's a music historian. I've noticed a lot of great musicians are.

Such a baller. Robbie may have written the songs and Levon may have kept the groove but Garth made the Band the Band.

If you really pay attention and listen to how he explains the process of ear-training, listening to radio's, key notes, assigning numbers, you can get about 4 years of music school for free in about fifteen seconds. But it'll take you a lot longer to master it, took Schoenberg a while.

Garth is clearly the real deal.

~~Garth Hudson~~

He’s not nuts. When he talks about the number 5 corresponding to the first note of Blue Moon, he’s correct. The chorus starts on the fifth relative to the root note (e.g., in the key of G, the first note of the chorus would be a D).

Garth is probably the most talented musically brilliant keyboard player ever. In The Band he was unrivaled as to talent. But he is flat-out nuts.

sometimes,we are out there for a short,time because we did or took something, BUT other times we either take longer to come BACK,other times we or they don't come back AT ALL:

Does anyone know the story about the talents in the Old Testament Garth is referring to?

Warm up, just getting started.

Just because he's got a smile and nice clothes and works for the media doesn't make him fake... everyone, no matter how they look, deserves a chance before you judge them. Yes, your first impression may be that he's fake, and that's OK. But if you actually did some research to know what you're talking about, you would know that Jeff Woods has a greater understanding and love of rock (and music) than probably you do.

Any bands especially the Bands secret weapon...bits of the Genetic Method here or there perhaps

I'm trying to be kind here, but the interviewer must have majored in Kazoo or tamborine. I was half-expecting him to say "Doraymee" is that Eskimo for piano ? Or, "Garth, I noticed you moving your fingers around and pressing on square thingies. How important is that to you in playing these drums ?"

well, to the guy above... the interviewer in this video is anything but fake. Jeff Woods has a deep love and understanding of rock music, as well as an encyclopedic knowledge of the topic.

...I can't tell whether it's good or bad that I understand everything Garth is saying? lol

I"d put his music on, but I don't know if I'd invite Garth to a dinner party.

i love the band and garth for sure but honestly WHAT IN THE FUCK IS HE TALKING ABOUT lol

Garth seems to be losing his marbles, haha. Great player.
