I cannot describe my sadness on the loss of Robbie Robertson- “and the rains fall down on my door- and the dawn don’t rescue me no more.” I’ve followed The Band for decades and have the clearest memories of listening to The Last Waltz over and over and over. These losses of great musicians are hitting me harder and harder and harder. Thank you Robbie.

love to you, Deborah.....I get it...and as I came here to watch Robbie.....then you see Rick and Levon....and then Garth comes out on the sax...the only one left. The music matters.
@DaveMorrisonMusic Жыл бұрын
We made a tactical error, Deborah. We attached deeply to literally hundreds of musicians that were ten years or so older than us, and now they are dying almost daily. And the ones who wrote the insightful songs, and the challenging songs - the songs that pushed us into becoming deeper ... those are the ones, whose passing hits us the hardest. I think that, when Dylan dies, the country will just shut down for a week.

My first wife split after six years of marriage. She returned about four months later. I heard this tune in my apartment, from a Band album, and played it for her upon her return. She sat and listened with no emotion whatsoever. That's when I knew it was over. I moved forward and am with the love of my life after 36 years. A truly great tune and it played an important role in my life! Thank you Robbie and the Band for providing such beautiful music for a generation and more!!

In late 1976, my partner moved to another city, about 1,000 miles away. in the months before I was able to join her there, I bought The Best of The Band on Cassette, and discovered this song. When I came to the verse "Well, I love you so much that it's all I can do to keep myself from telling you that I never felt so alone before," it broke me up, I was a mess, but it sustained me till I joined her. I already knew some of The Band's work, and had the NME review of the concert, and went to the Australian Premier of the movie. After 15 or 16 times I lost count of the number of times I saw it, and now have all of their studio work and live work, including their time with Dylan. My favourite band of all time.

There’s somethings so beautifully Canadian about these boys. Of course, Levon provided a pinch of southern goodness, and The Band wouldn’t be The Band without him. But there’s something about Robbie, Rick, and Richard. I can’t help but think that if they were hockey players, instead of musicians, they’d have been the Hanson brothers!😊

A masterpiece. I'm surprised how saddened I've been by the passing of Robbie...for whatever reason, I didn't see it coming.

"I never felt so alone before" is so true. My wife died and I miss her so much. This is such a powerful song. Rick's singing makes the lyrics so sad. Than you have Robertson;s riffs are so planted in the song that it's stunning. I saw them with Dylan way back when.

One thing I am sure of: 30 years from now this song brings a simle and a tear as it did 30 years ago when I was a teenager.

David Crosby, Gordon Lightfoot and now Robbie Robertson. I grew up listening to their music in the 60s & 70s. It was a real privilege to hear them getting started.

One of the greatest songs every written, beautifully, tastefully performed. I hope that Robbie, Rick, Richard, Levon rest in peace and that Garth lives in peace. "If there is a rock n roll heaven, you know they have a hellova band!"

"Well I love you so much and it's all I can do Just to keep myself from telling you That I never felt so alone before." The way that Danko sings those lines just cracks my heart wide open.

My wife and I listen to the Last Waltz every couple of weeks, and we have for 22 years of courting and marriage. Before that I listened to The Band for many many years. They are the best. Never saw them, though. Took them for granted when I was young and in America. Lived half a world away most of my life, and when in NYC never even made it to the Midnight Rambles... don't put off for tomorrow what you owe it to yourself to do today.

Whispering Pines is another blissfully soulful song of theirs, with Richard doing the vocals. I just listened to that one before this one.
