Some people are put on this earth to achieve greatness, and make people feel good, Levon Helms was one of them.

He may have aged and passed, but his music will live on forever

Levon's performance in The Last Waltz' live performance :"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" was beyond belief. His drumming, his vocals...he reached out for all he could give in that performance.

Levon is not dead. He cannot die. He is eternal.

It’s utterly heart warming to read the comments on EVERY KZfaq clip of Levon. The man was revered and rightly so and he never acted like he was. A model human being

Levon...one of the greatests...no doubt. Love him dearly.

Levon with “ The Band “ at the last waltz…..sang Evangeline with Emmy Lou Harris……memorable !!❤

It's amazingly evident how much Levon Loves the songs he sings. I wish he was still here, and Danko & Manuel.

It was a wonderful thing when Levon got his voice back ! RIP.

We miss you Levon, with the passing of Robbie, we thank the band for yalls gift of music

In the nearly 60 years I've been listening to rock & roll, I don't think I've ever seen anyone so universally loved by his fellow performers as Levon. It's heartwarming to see that love in this and the ramble concerts at his barn from his peers. RIP Levon.

Levon always nods vigorously to every one in the band in acknowledgement. Great man. RIP

Beautiful! Levon with Larry Campbell, Buddy Miller, Teresa Williams, and Sheryl playing one of my The Band favorites.

I cant believe he ever got old like that....I cant believe how old I am now either....RIP Levon

levon will always and forever be an american icon right up there with elvis and jerry lee.

He was the best. He drove The Band

This is wonderful! A great job on a gorgeous song! And isn't Sheryl a cutie? You can tell she's got a bit of a crush on Levon in this one. It's really sweet! 💘💘

Beautiful human being, great musician. RIP Levon

I don't know why tears are filling my eyes...

I just noticed you passed away. I'll always remember you singing along "The last waltz". RIP Levon Thanks for everything you gave us.

I would have given anything to have seen The Ramble at the Ryman. Levon Helm never gave up and it seems that instead of laughing in the face of death, he was singing. This remarkably talented man was able to do what he loved-playing for an audience, almost right up to the end. Thank God he was stubborn enough to not give up when he first lost his voice. He had an excellent vocal coach and tons of determination. The world lost an extraordinary man when he passed away.

He went down fast.....I miss him very very much........Rest in Peace Levon Helm........You were an ICON for sure...

This was an awesome concert at the Ryman. Even 40 years after Ronnie Hawkins, he knew how to put together a great band!

Amazing his voice got stronger through the whole song. Top performance from one of the masters .

One of a king guy, awesomely talented, lost him too soon, miss you and love you LEVON!

Levon was the consistently good voice on so many Band songs, providing the backdrop that often stabilized the then lead singer. And of course his performance on The Last Waltz with "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" was a tour de force. Will never be eclipsed. He gave it his all that night.

I think that its a blessing to us all that Levon was able to give us so much soul-enriching music, all the way up close to the time he left us. What ever had at the time of this recording, he joyfully gave it. What a beautiful gift.

Age and time may have touched Levon but his spirit was still there.

A wonderful man and an amazing performance for one so ill.... A huge talent and one that's sadly missed.

How can we thank you Levon...you gave us *MUSIC* with beautiful tunes, your drums, vocals...everything. RIP...LOVE...***!!!

Saw Levon sing this at one of his "Midnight Rambles" in his barn in Woodstock, NY. It was on New Year's Eve 2006 or maybe 2007. Best NYE of my life.

God Bless you Levon I only wish I was half the man you were a real giant of a man! RIP Mr Helm.

Damn I do love this music. Hard to beat this cut. Outstanding.

RIP Levon Helm, you are missed

Very moving - Levon's so brave but you can see the sadness in the womens' eyes

I love you Levon, you have touched my life, and so many others. There will never be another like you. I'm so thankful I got to see you live at bonnaroo 2008. Rest in peace.

I wish in my life the forces in the universe had brought us together. I so love this man. His talent. His intense love for music. I will always love him. Always.

Gone but we will never forget your contribution to us.Thanks Levon.

thank god for utube. r.i.p levon, never ever forgotten.

God Bless you Levon! LEVON HELM (May 26, 1940 - April 19, 2012). With Sheryl Crow.

as Ill and old as he was he is still a great performer !

Thank you Levon for all the great music... Your soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave....

A great Southerner. Remembered his roots and heritage.

I would like to have met Levon and to have spent one day with him. I believe that he would have done more to improve my outlook on life than I could have achieved in a lifetime. Sorry he's gone.

Levon the legend! Sheryl Crow is on my hall pass list!

It's great man, seeing his mind all in it, trying to force his body to respond to his thoughts. Everything is there, he's still got it, no matter what people say about whether he did or didn't. The body disintegrates over time, no shit, but the mind can stay as pure as it wants (if it's in your control)....his mind was great up until the end.

Holy Doggity Dang. God's music !!! I'm born again . Seen the Light!!!

miss all of them Levon and Richard and the greatest of them all Rick Danko..always thought Sheryl Crow would have made a great female member of the band

levons voice gave me chills, superb !

Some people may think that musicians just sit up there and 'play'. After a certain number of songs, it gets to be a test of physical endurance. Levon sang and played drums for shows/concerts that lasted hours, for a period spanning fifty years. Try doing that.! Levons ability to keep playing through his later years, after a cancer diagnosis, is a testament to his physical, and spiritual strength. Then, after an operation for his throat cancer, (mid 2000's)..his doctor tells him that he may never TALK again. Levon had the strength, and will to go back to 'just playing drums', but eventually, he just had to sing,.. So, 'snoxbox', get a clue.

Levon Helm should be added to Mount Rushmore. A national treasure he was.

rest in peace levon . some of us will always love and appreciate what you did.

R.I.P Levon, see you on the other side, Cheryl Crow has always sang country.

Levon was running on fumes by this point, God bless his heart.

I love Levon. Always in my heart.

I so appreciate you, Levon and Sheryl. You will live forever in my soul. Gratis, R. Ford-Williams, Grove City, Ohio

Not a Crow fan but Levon is undeniable. If you don't get it then you just don't get it.
