Best part of this interview: At the end when Levon not only thanks the interviewer, but also looks at each of the guys in THE CREW, and thanks them for coming. What a class act, RIP.

I'm convinced that ,due to this wonderful and humble man, this world is somehow, a slightly better place.

Well, my Bros, I actually wept watching this, I really do not have any more words. Levon, I really miss you. RIP Brother

I met Levon at the diner in Woodstock back in the early '90s...we sat at the counter & had coffee & pie...I had the opportunity to tell him that The Band was one of the biggest influences on me as a musician...he was humble & warm; one of the best half hours of my life

We are so grateful to see all the warm, heartfelt comments in response to our interview with Levon Helm. He was truly a beloved man.

I was massively blessed to have seen one of these Rambles. Levon’s joy was infectious. What a damn shame that a National Treasure like this man was buried in medical bills. Kinda pisses me off. Seeing my Dad go through cancer right now is heartbreaking. It’s hell. The fact that people lose their homes to pay for cancer treatment in the richest country on earth is criminal.

I damn near cried just watching this. Levon had the most beautiful old soul. I'm gonna miss him so much!

Dude truly was a class act. His music and his smile will ring out for centuries to come, and elegantly.

The world has lost another talented musician from cancer. May he rest in peace. Many condolences to his family.

Levon is the kind of person I wanna emulate...genuine, friendly, welcoming, great integrity and character, just a perfect gentleman. Levon, Gregg Allman, Brian Wilson, etc....I get so inspired listening to these guys talk (always humbly) about their past, about those who influenced them, and about their contributions to American music.

I got a high five and a salute from Mark Lavon Helm in Portland Oregon in 1994. I just said "God Bless you, Levon and God Bless Turkey Scratch!" He got up from behind the drum, came over, high -fived me and gave me a salute and then went to work! One of the GREATS. End of story.

What a beautiful human being. Rest easy Levon.

one of my greatest memories is meeting levon in wheeling west virgins on the banks of Ohio river he talked to me asking about myself and family what my father did for a living I was on the light side of 20 and he gave me a turkey club sandwich and a coke and when he was talking to like he knew for years God bless him

As Dylan said "one of the last true great spirits"...How can you not help LOVE this man....RIP, let's help Barbara "keep it goin"..

I was with him for 18 months in 1967/68. He was a wonderful person then & still is. Blessings on his soul & spirit!

Man...singing songs on the back porch, singing songs around the supper table...that's a great musical heritage that people in America are giving up, and so many people don't seem to care about it. That's definitely something I want to change in my little corner of the world. You're all invited to my front porch to sing songs. :)

god i love him. i truly mourned when he passed. so humble and sweet.

I love it that he thanked the production crew at the end of the show. A true Southern Gentleman.

Now that's a fucking CLASS ACT!

"He was my bosom buddy friend to the end, one of the last true great spirits of my or any other generation" - Bob Dylan

Levon radiated personality and charisma. His friend and fellow musician John Martyn described Levon as being "like a mad sparrow." Even when battling illness, Levon kept his smile and the twinkle in his eye. Many years since his passing, he is still larger than life. Miss you, Levon Helm.

Levon was a hell of a classy guy . In any interview he did he seemed to always talk up other musicians and never bragged on himself or his amazing talent. This was filmed shortly before his death and you can hear the raspy higher tone of his voice that sounds like he did when he had been diagnosed with cancer the first time . Little did we know he was fighting it again and he never let on..

Me and my wife saw levon a few weeks ago up in his barn and he had some friends david hildalgo and cesar rosas and a few others. After los lobos did an acoustic set which as usual was off the hook ,but 45 minutes later levon and his band came out and i gotta tell ya looking at levon looking into his eyes he was not feeling well but being levon he counted and the show began ,watching him from about 8 feet away levon was hurting and i was hurting for him .I started seeing levon in the '70's and

What a national treasure this man is/was and forever will be. RIP Levon, thanks for everything....

Am i the only one crying? I can't watch this, and i'm not kidding, this hurts. Rest in peace, Levon.

This interviewer did a great job. He asked Levon a lot of good questions, and Levon looked happy answering them. I'm glad I was able to share the wonderfull moments. RIP Levon, I love you for the rest of my life.

If everyone had the heart and soul of Levon Helm... What a wonderful world we would live in. Rest In Peace Levon. We miss you so much, and are so thankful for the inspirational, soulful, REAL music that you provided us over the years. Your determination, and passion for doing what you loved were truly amazing. Your music will live on forever...

Hardest thing I've tried to sit and watch in a long time. Killing me. We love you Levon. You will be missed more than you can know.

He seems like such a genuine guy. Really cares about the musical experience.

This has to be one of the best interviews of a musician out there period.

Humble until the very end. This video was posted in March of 2012. Levon Helm passed away that April. Along with the other members of The Band, he was a major influence in my learning more than one instrument growing up. Listening to him in this video was rough knowing that he’d soon be gone. However, the thing that got me choked up in this video was at 11:48. I’m pretty sure that was Muddy, Levon’s dog, shaking off from a nap and then coming up to Levon for a scratch. This is good stuff right here.

Proud to be from the same neck of the woods in Arkansas as this great man. I love Arkansas & dirt farmers, duck hunters, & bass fishin. My fishin partner was Levon's god son. How many of you can say, I smoked with Levon. A great humble man that loved his roots. Love you Levon.

He is just so real, He is such a genuine nice man.

What an inspirational human being!

Great what a great gentleman and down to earth performer much respect sad we have lost him.

That small part in shooter he played so friggen great

Always loved his unique vocals and his acting bits.This guy was one of "The Greats" in my eyes.

Levon was a true national treasure...we just don't have too many like this great musician around anymore...you are truly missed Levon....😏😏

What a great person, you can just tell by his story telling, that he loved the music industry🙏

Talk about how to hang in there until the end and not let your spirits break. What an amazing man. R.I.P., Levon. You are sorely missed already.

Rest in peace Levon, you made a hell of a lot of good music over the years and certainly made this place better for having been here. You will be missed!

I miss him so much. Been to a few Rambles. I miss me some Levon.

"I had more bills than I had uh... just about anything, besides friends." ~ Levon

Truly miss him, I will never forget him playing a preacher on the Steven Seagal film.

I miss this man :( the end broke my heart

What an amazing human being your music Sir Levon will live forever. God Bless 🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

Levon was such a slice of reality, forged in the deep south of Arkansas. He came from a musical family, and pretty much lived for it. As a drummer I admire his playing, and ability to sing and drum at the same time, quite amazing. I sincerely hope he's not the last of his kind.

Grace, humility, intuition and manners. This is what I miss from todays generations.

He was so good in Shooter. Great musician and singer most of all.

Yes, what a beautiful, happy smile. Levon was so much fun. Friendly, he loved to perform live. The other musicians have fun playing together.

Levon had such a beautiful smile. I can't help smile myself when I listen to him. He seemed to be extremely humble and down-to-earth. RIP Levon

As tears well up listening to this great musician and person i know we are losing one of the best.

What an amazingly good guy. Imagine being in his shoes and having such a great attitude.

Never another like Levon. One of the greatest vocalists in rock 'n' roll.

What a respectful beautiful interview ..well done ❤️ Levon was the real deal...when he thanked the crew at the end it tore my heart out

He’s so thankful. What lesson of how to be.

So blessed to have attended the Ramble with my family. He was an amazing musician and human being.

Peace and Love to you Levon. Your voice will carry on. You are loved.

Caught Levon & The Ramble live at the Hampton Beach Club Casino in June of 2010. I am an old buck who has been to hundreds of concerts over the years, but never to one like that night on the seacoast of New Hampshire (literally, across the street from the Atlantic Ocean). The feeling in that huge, expansive old ballroom was what one might hope for in a tiny little shoebox club. The effect was a communal feeling that I had never experienced before, or have since, at any concert - anywhere. Very hard to put into words, but it's something I'll never forget. Thank you, Levon.

Two of my favorite singers in the same band, Levon Helm and Donald Fagen. God Bless you Levon. I hope I get a chance to meet you someday, someway, somehow. A fan.

Levon was COOL! Even sickness couldn't get him down. R.I.P. and raise some hell in heaven!

the interviewer asked really great qustions

sang some of the best hits of the century.....the last waltz was awesome !!!

humble, authentic, a true American treasure! I'll miss you Levon. Music never sounded so good

Blessed to even have been able to Hear his music,salt of the earth.

I'm from Arkansas I am proud to say.i love this man. I feel his spirit.

National treasure. I remember specifically where I was and what I was doing when I heard Levon was gone. A fantastic singer with cancer of the vocal cords. What a world, what a world!

It's so fitting that his hands never stop moving while he's talking. He can't keep them still; they have as much to say - if not more - as his voice.

So many good memories. One of the greats. Much love, Levon! Thanks!

Awesome man and musician and actor , gotta love this guy and his talent !!

Levon ..... i shall not miss him for he will always bein my heart... i sound like grumpy old man... but can someone tell me... whre are the artists of this new generation.... does anyone match up to levon??? dont even tell me BIEBER OR GAGA..... rip my friend

He was a beautiful man. Handsome till the end. I could listen to him all day!!!! God Bless 💖

Damn Levon....I'm gonna' miss you. Thanks for all the great music.

Seems like one of the nicest cats one could have met! Real amazing guy! RIP!!

What a beautiful and extraordinary human being... We miss you Mr. Helm... the definition of a southern gentleman. -a Salvadorian FANATIC living in the beautiful Houston, Texas

I've listened to Levon Helm since high school back in the early 70s. He was one of the main influences in my life and my drumming.

I love this man I mean. The guy was at the end of his life, losing his voice in the interview and he didn't stop. He smiled and at the same end he thanked him.

I tend to avoid interviews with Levon at that stage of his life. This was hard to watch in some ways...but I'm glad that I did. Everytime I listen to his music, be it solo or with The Band/Dylan, I get the same feelings. The music never loses the qualities that make it great - what a legacy to leave the world.

Levon was one if a kind. "And he shall be Levon, and he shall be a good man."

What a genuine man ,just a very talented country gentleman ,love this video

This is making me cry.

I absolutely loved that old man. I think everyone should have a Levon in their lives. He REALLY understood and fostered joy in life. Whether he was playing for thousands or just talking one on one with a total stranger, he could make everyone feel like THEY were the star in the room. God bless ol’ boys like Levon Helm.

I Grew Up here in 🇦🇺Australia Listening to "The⭐️Band." Levon is still a "Legend."😌

What an extraordinary man! So glad you tube is around to show these recordings! Love this man!

Thank you. I knew Levon and interviewed him in 2004 for a book I wrote, and I helped with his then-band, the Barnburners, by moving gear just as a means of having a chance to pay back the joy of being in his company. He was a prince of a man, and an absolute joy to spend time in his presence backstage.

Greatest singer and drummer I and singer I ever saw.

After seeing this interview that he did only a couple of months ago(possibly even one of his last, if not the last, interviews), I realized that I'm REALLY going to miss him:( We love you Levon, and you will be remembered forever.

Rest in peace Levon. Thanks for the wonderful music. Love to your family.

My fav band of all time . My fav drummer ever RIP Levon

Levon helm is all class. R.I.P

May artist never leave this world for with out it the world would be a dark place to live.

Levin just oouzzs with soul.

Levon is the embodiment of all that is good in American music.........

Miss you, Levon. You are such a gentleman.

RIP Levon! Thank you for all of great music!

Brilliant gift from the musical heavens on loan to us for just a blink of an eye,truly a song writing genius that influenced and inspired me and so many others

Class act right to the end, thanks for the wonderful music Levon!🎸🇨🇦

We'll miss you Levon. Hope there's a Cripple Creek for you up in Heaven.

Humble, kind, totally authentic. He was great, in any possible way.
