"The scaffold was high and eternity was near". The Band switches from their main instruments and do a splendid version of Long Black Veil. This is from the concert video "The Band is Back", in Vancouver 1983.

Levon moves from drums to mandolin, Rick moves from bass to acoustic guitar, Richard moves from piano to drums. Need I say more? Incredible talent!

Garth Hudson is a multi-instrumentalist who can play Piano, Organ, Accordion and Saxophone. It’s interesting because most or all of them could play multiple instruments but it says Garth is the only multi-instrumentalist if you search them up.

I just can't get enough of watching and listening to Rick Danko singing, especially this song, also Stage Freight, and my favorite "It makes no difference". I have like The Band since 1969, always liked Robbie, but recently have really singled out Rick, he is so soulful.

@hannejeppesen1809 7 ай бұрын

Yes, especially when he sings "It makes no difference" and "Stage Freight", and of course "I shall be released" from Richard Manuels memorial. I don't know if you are male or female, I'm female, a few years younger than the guys in The Band, I always thought Robbie was very good looking when younger, still do. However, something speciall about Rick that makes him very sexy and attractive.@@teahorseguitarstraps1856

@@TheDailyDucks681 Richard, Levon and Rick all had great voices. When they were in The Band, Robbie Robertson often wrote a song with a particular singer in mind. Levon was great on Up on Cripple Creek and Dixie, and also the beginning of The Weight, and Rick was perfect for the Chester verse. RIchards voice was made for "The Shape I'm in",

I'd nominate The Band as the very best band ever, from their varied work they left us to their influence on so very many other top, popular superstar musicians and to 'nick a catch phrase.from Pacino "I've been around, ya' know".

@jeremiah123z 8 жыл бұрын

I thought so too, the Band's version sounded so authentic, soaked in old Appalachian woodsmoke and whiskey, it had to be some long-forgotten mountain ballad. In fact, it was written in 1959 by Danny Dill and Marijohn Wilkin and originally recorded by Lefty Frizzell. However you describe it, the song is unforgettable. And nobody ever did it more memorably than the Band, with Rick Danko's lonesome vocal up front and center.
