Rest In Peace, Robbie Robertson (July 5, 1943 - August 9, 2023). Canadian guitarist and songwriter for The Band, Jaime Royal "Robbie" Robertson passed away just a few days ago on Aug. 9, 2023 at the age of 80. Prior to The Band, he was also lifelong friends with and lead guitarist for Bob Dylan in the mid-late 1960s and early-mid 1970s, as well as a solo artist after 1978. Robertson's work with the Band was instrumental in creating the Americana music genre. Thanks for this great reaction and timely song choice! ✌💙✌

Actually, this is an old Appalachian folk song, so Robertson didn't write it. "The first recording was in 1924 by Sam Jones (also known as Stovepipe No. 1), a black one-man-band. The Skillet Lickers recorded the song later in the same year.[2] Luther Strong was recorded in 1937 by the Library of Congress singing the song.[1]" It's believed to go back to about 1900.

@@janesawyer3495 The song you are refering to is a completely different song called Cripple Creek, an Appalachian-style old time tune and folk song, often played on the fiddle or banjo. The two songs have almost nothing in common other than the name of the town, Cripple Creek. But I'd say it's entirely possible that Robbie knew of that song and it could be where he got the name.

"Nothing Was Delivered" written by Dylan and "Wheels on Fire", in which Dylan wrote the lyrics and Rick Danko wrote the melody.

I'm so glad you enjoyed this great song from The Band! RIP Robbie Robertson. The instrument you are hearing is the clavinet, a type of keyboard. It's an electrically amplified clavichord that makes sounds with rubber pads. The pads correspond to a key, and when each key is struck, the rubber pad strikes a certain point on a tensioned string, producing a kind of electrified guitar sound. You can also hear it used on Stevie Wonder's "Superstition." Sadly, the days of the clavinet are over, and no one makes them anymore.

If you guys are TRULY INTERESTED in exploring what THE BAND was all about, you should check out their "Farewell" Tribute Concert called THE LAST WALTZ, directed by Martin Scorsese with an ALL STAR LINEUP, 1976. And by All Star lineup, I'm being modest. Its literally a Who's Who of Rock and Roll Hall of Famers. At least watch some of the video performances from the film. It was the first time there had ever been a "Farewell Tribute Concert" for one band. Its an essential slice of music history. Let me give you one clue about their place in music history. They were Bob Dylan's backing band when Dylan "WENT ELECTRIC" from pure acoustic folk in 1966. That was a monumental event in rock history. And the band was THE BAND.

Levon helm was the voice and Robbie was the writer mostly,but they were all so good.The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down is good too.The Weight is fantastic,and so is Rochin Chair.That instrument is probably the clavinet with a wah-wah. You should probably look at the lyrics to the song because our fellow is using Bessie's hospitality to be able to drink.He moves on to the next girl and thinks about seeing Bessie again,because big mama is not Bessie.

Rick Danko was a good vocalist as well

Yep, Bessie is the side chick who puts up with any of his crap. Big Mama is the woman waiting at home.

I love all of the Band members. Robbie was so good looking when he was younger. However, my favorite is Rick, when he sings "It makes no difference or Stage Freight" what feeling and charisma. I have loved The Band since I first heard this song, when I was living in New York City in the late sixties. They are of my generation.@@user-pv8bm9ez8f

RIP Robbie, another Canadian talent gone, so sad. Robbie did some very good solo work after The Band, and honoring his Native background. Another native from Canada that deserves a listen is Buffy St Marie, Universal Soldier.

Clavinet! A pre historic type of keyboard synth.

They were Bob Dylan’s backing band and simply referred to as “The Band”

What a classic this one is from Dylan's back up band. RIP Robbie Robertson, you will be missed. [edit] That funky sound is a Hohner clavinet (keyboard) being run through a wah-wah pedal.

This wasn't Dylan's backup band. They existed before Dylan and existed after him. Levon hated playing for Dylan. They were booed nearly every show they played with him. It was an experiment more than anything.

@SeansMusicVault 11 ай бұрын

@@andrew348 That doesn't change the fact that they were once INDEED Dylan's backup band, and were well-known for being so. The fact that people booed was because they felt betrayed by Dylan's embrace of electrically-amplified music. Sorry, but facts are facts. ☮

if you like the band, check out "when I go away" by Levon Helm, sang it just short of his death. BRILLIANT!

I'm sure you're aware that founding member Robbie Robertson just passed away on Wednesday at age 80. Interesting note. The twangy sound is being done via a clavinet played by Garth Hudson. He simultaneously played that along with the organ.

What you're hearing is Garth Hudson playing his clavinet through a wah wah pedal. I'm astounded that there weren't more songs that used this!

Well,there were,just not in rock. Funk bands got into this sound a lot in the 70's. Stevie Wonder especially loved the sound.

The Band is worth a deep-dive. (Two of their albums, the self titled "The Band" and "Music from Big Pink" happen to be two of the best albums ever recorded.) They used to be Bob Dylan's backing band, back when they called themselves The Hawks. But as the Vietnam War raged on, "hawks" became synonymous with being pro-war, while "doves" were pro-peace. (For instance, you might say that a certain senator was "hawkish" on the Vietnam War.) Thus The Band changed their name and went with..."The Band." Because of their close affiliation with Bob Dylan (they even all lived near each other in Woodstock, NY) they have covered a few Dylan songs, co-wrote with him too. This song "Up On Cripple Creek" is certainly one of their "fun" songs as you point out. If you want something that is so full of heart it is chilling, you've got to go with "I Shall Be Released." It is so perfect a song it could practically come from a hymnal. (I myself prefer the album version, not any of the live versions.) And, as parents, you'd probably find "Tears of Rage" to be pretty compelling, too. RIP RR, such a great songwriter.

I figured this would be a tribute to The Band's Robbie Robertson who died on Wednesday and wrote this song, but you never mentioned him. RIP Robbie.

@WilliamTheMovieFan 11 ай бұрын

That instrument in your left ear is a clavinet/clavichord with a wah-wah pedal. It is a type of organ/piano. You can hear it in Steely Dan's song Kid Charlemagne too.

Great reaction! Always love seeing Canadian bands on here. With the added bonus of the drummer being the lead singer which is a rarity. You've tried the Tragically Hip before, but if you want to go back to some Canadian royalty maybe try Bobcaygeon or 38 Years Old by them. 😊

So many amazing songs by The Band but check out The Shape I’m in sung by their other piano player Richard Manuel and Stage Fright sung by their bassist Rick Danko. Both are on KZfaq live from The Last Waltz.

Definitely, Rest in Shalom Robbie. Nice reaction. The live version in the concert movie, THE LAST WALTZ is even better. In fact, you two should try to do a movie reaction to that. Arguably the greatest concert movie of all time. Directed by legendary director, Martin Scorsese (GOODFELLAS, RAGING BULL, TAXI DRIVER, HUGO, GANGS OF NEW YORK), and featuring as guest stars, The Staple Singers (I think you may have reacted to that scene), Neil Young, Bob Dylan (they were once his backup band on his first electric tour), Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Dr. John, and Neil Diamond, among others. Mind-blowingly good. And yes, that was yodeling at the end. Multiple yodels. They are actually saying the word “yodel-odel-lay-ee-hoo”. The instrument is a clavinet. A kind of eclectic harpsichord, which itself is an ancestor of the piano. Stevie Wonder uses it a lot, most notably on “Superstition”. Garth Hudson, keyboardist and multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire, is using it here for its jaw-harp-like funky effect.

I think it’s a clavinet ? RIP Robbie, Levon, Rick and the best band ever! Watch The Last Waltz!!! Awesome stuff Great movie!! Great music sicians!

I believe you're right and I think it's Garth Hudson playing it, the last surviving member of the Band, who is 86 and still performing.

@sanzoftatooine 11 ай бұрын

Garth Hudson kicking it on the organ & clavinet (the "bullfrog" instrument). Stellar background vocals by bassist Rick Danko & pianist Richard Manuel. The always great Levon Helm on drums & lead vocal. An the late great Robbie Robertson on guitar, he just passed away this week. Hard to believe all these guys are gone now except Garth.

That just leaves Garth Hudson as the last surviving member. The Band will always hold a special place in my heart. R.I.P. Robbie Robertson.

I believe the song is about a truck driver who rides a cross-country circuit with his big mama at one end, but he's also got a girl named Bessie stashed away in Lake Charles LA for him to have some fun along the way. Garth Hudson was the keyboard player, and especially his organ playing defined The Band's sound. No one else sounded like that.Garth is now the last surviving member of those five gentlemen in light of Robbie Robertson's death this past week. He was also a techie wizard. As others have noted he rigged up a clavinet to run through a wah pedal to get that jew's harp sound. The name "The Band" came during their time at Woodstock when they were on retainer to Bob Dylan to be his band as he made demos of his songs, when he was recovering from a motorcycle accident. Woodstock must've been a small town then..."Where's Bob?"..."Oh he's up working with the band." Before then they had backed up a singer named Ronnie Hawkins who called them "The Hawks." They broke free from Hawkins and called themselves Levon And The Hawks for awhile. Then Dylan hired them to back him on his 1966 tour. Recommendations? "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" should be next. ""Across The Great Divide" and ""Daniel And The Sacred Harp" are great among many others. Also get hold of the recording of Dylan's 1966 "Royal Albert Hall" show (actually taped in Manchester!) where they opened the electric part with "Tell Me Momma."
