She's clapping because this is a gospel song. Listen.

Mavis Staple and Levon Helm( the drummer) stayed friends, and did concerts together up until his death from cancer.

Rick Danko sings the fourth verse while playing bass. This was Rick's normal behaviour. He's one of the great voices in rock. The Band had three lead vocalists -- Danko, Levon Helm (drums) and Richard Manuel. They are considered one of the greatest bands ever and one of the most influential. They changed the direction of popular music. Eric Clapton wanted to be a member but realized he wasn't good enough. The Band was considered Americana, Rock, Country, Folk Rock, even Gospel. Four Canadians and an American. They backed up Bob Dylan on a couple of tours.

Dude, that is a compilation of the finest singers and musicians ever to assemble anywhere. You dont have any idea what you just witnessed. You should see the entire video of The Last Waltz. It is indeed mind blowing.

It's hard to believe that Robbie is gone. He had such a powerful presence and aura. You felt his soul through his music.

Mavis was taking us to church young man. As a Caucasian sister, .... I got that. This was an era of music where collaboration and inclusiveness were the thing. Weve lost so much. Please, take it from an old hippie. We need to remember how to love and forget about hate.

Wow, hyper-critical bruh. This is an epic collaboration between two legendary groups, and all you got is some snark about the bass player/harmonizer extraordinare Rick Danko and Mavis Staples absolutely feelin' it?!? They're just cuttin' loose and caught up in the spirit of it all...how ya gonna dump on that?

The Band were one of the most influential bands from the 1960s and 70s, and this was filmed by Martin Scorsese when they broke up in 1976. The film, The Last Waltz, featured not only The Staple Singers but also Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, Dr John and many others.

"Why'd she do that?" Taking it to church son....... Sister Mavis is still spreading the word in song. Love when Pops comes in so smooth.

"Why'd she do that?" Because Mavis has soul for days.

The Band is a band. The Staples Singers is a band. This is from the movie, "The Last Waltz." That's Mavis picking up that second verse like the queen she is. And then her pop follows up.

Greatest American song ever written by a Canadian. Mavis is the GOAT.

His style is feeling soul in his way.

Rick Danko is the singer/bass player and there may, or may not have been substances being used by members of The Band during this time. 😎

His only condition is SOUL!

When you asked “Does this guy have any underlying conditions or is that his normal style? “ I fugging spit my drink out

This is from the movie "The Last Waltz" directed by Martin Scorsese and it documents the Band's last concert performance before they broke up at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on Thanksgiving Day,1976. Lots of musical giants of the era made cameos...Neil Young,Bob Dylan,Joni Mitchell,Eric Clapton and so on. The Staple Singers were invited to do "The Weight",but couldn't make the show due to scheduling conflicts,so The Band and some of the film crew later went to New Orleans and recorded the version you see here with The Staple Singers. And we now have this brilliance forever.

Two different groups doing a song in collaboration. Happens all the time. This a song written and recorded by The Band, but they included The Staples to join in on this performance.

Staple Singers were a premier Gospel family group. Mavis toured up to last year and I saw her! That’s Pop Staples coming after daughter Mavis. ❤ Back in our day , many groups had Black and white members. Check out KC and The Sunshine Band - “ I’m Your Boogie Man”- the hottest funkiest disco around!!!!!! Watch Mavis Staples and Mahalia Jackson together in “ Summer of Soul”!❤❤❤❤❤

This is fire 🔥. Im only 37 with an old soul and the band the weight is one of my favorite songs all time. Love this song.

The Last Waltz was supposed to be The Band's last concert together. The Staple Singers joined in on this song and it was awesome! Great reaction to a great song!

I never tire of this collab between 2 legendary groups. I’ve watched it dozens of times.

This was written by Robbie Robertson (double Neck Guitar). The Band was Bob Dylans backup band for a while. They are Americana.

Pops makes me happy every time I see him. This song in particular I just love his voice. It's so real and he reminds me of my pastor back in Jamaica queens when I was a kid.

Mavis was feeling, “take me to church feeling”🤘❤️

The rendition of "That old time religion" is hilarious, Rick and his raspy voice kills it. He is stoned as I believe they all were. They were just goofing around, but their talent is one full display.

Here's a thought Maybe stop being surprised when people are cool with each other And we call out the bad people

Love The Band and the Staples also. Levon Helm is my favorite drummer/singer

Come one, it's the Band and Staples. AWSOME..I'm old school. 60's baby and this is one of my favorites

This performance is part of the movie "The Last Waltz", but was not part of the concert, so was recorded somewhere else. There are some clips from the actual concert on KZfaq, notably, "It Makes No Difference". It Makes No Difference - The Band - The Last Waltz kzfaq.info/get/bejne/h52pgqpy0q_Ydo0.html I lived on the San Francisco Peninsula from 1967-77 and this was the last concert I saw at Winterland. It was great to reminisce years later when I saw the movie. Now I see clips on KZfaq and enjoy seeing reactions to some of the performances. They opened the doors at 5:00 pm and it ended well after 2:00 am. I had seen the Band before, but this show with Dylan, Clapton, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Ron Wood, Ringo Starr and many other guest performers was epic.

That was Rick Danko's normal behavior. While most bassists play stoically and show little movement, Rick had what I call a "jangly" style with a lot of movement, sometimes called the Danko Shuffle. But you will appreciate his singing style and talents if you check out "It Makes No Difference", also from The Last Waltz.

Almost all of these people are dead now. Robbie Robertson (guitarist) for "The Band" was the last living member, and he died about 6 months ago. Same for "The Staple Singers." Mavis Staples may still be alive, but Pappa, and the other sisters are gone, I think. This is just so good. From the early 70s, I think. Thanks

Thanksgiving, 1976... The iconic Winterland Ballroom in San Fran. 'The Last Waltz' is a documentary movie by Martin Scorsese. It's about the last concert by The Band with many, many great singers. (Dylan, Dr. John, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Neil Young and many more)

Great song. Superficial reaction. Ta Ta

Another couple of lead singer drummers are Don Henley of the Eagles ( Hotel California)and Phil Collins(Coming in the Air Tonight).

The Band was Bob Dylan’s backup band until til we t out of their own. They often performed with other groups including The Staple Singers. This is part of documentary directed by Martin Scorsese called The Last Waltz. The last concert tour the Band did.

This song has been around for like 60 years now. Another must-watch version is from 2012 Playing for Change. Robbie Robertson, Ringo Starr & a ton of artists around the world & it's another gem.

It's the Band, and the Staple Singers joining in. This was recorded at the last concert by the Band in San Francisco in 1976. The concert was filmed and has other joining the Band for their farewell tour. The movie is called "The Last Waltz" (1977.) Check it out.

The Band were at one time Bob Dylan's back up band. They were all Canadians except for the drummer who was from Arkansas.

Why are you shocked???

The Band invited The Staples to do this video with them because The Staples were the first folks to record a cover version. It was released on their 1968 album Soul Folk in Action. I believe it was the first Band song ever covered by another group.

"The Band" which is the name of that band (they were Bob Dylan's band and just called themselves The Band when they went on their own) are playing with The Staple Singers--who The Band invited to be in their movie--which people describe below. It is a song written by The Band's excellent guitarist, Robbie Robertson--who sadly passed away in 2023--a great talent.

Levon Helm was a great drummer,singer and he also was an actor.He played Loretta Lynns father in 'The Coal Miners Daughter'.He was in numerous other movies also.''The Band 'was the name,self named after first being Bob Dillions band and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame in 1994.

Bill Graham was one of the most important promoters for live acts in SF during the heyday of the 60s. A consistent feature was mixing acts together that you might not otherwise expect. Lots of seminal blues/rock/gospel acts along with the up and coming hippie rock bands. I believe that's a part of the story for how we ended up with the Staple Singers and The Band on this tune.

It was The Band, which was made up of 4 Canadian's and one American, the drummer Levon Helm. This is from their last concert, which is legendary, filmed by Martin Scorcese, at that concert they invited several guest musicians to join them. The Staples Singers, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Joni Michtell, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan. Look into more music from The Last Waltz and The Band, you won't be disappointed. The Chester verso is song by Rick Danko, who was one of 3 great singers of The Band. the other 2 was Richard Manuel and Levon Helm, the drummer. No Rick did not have Parkinson he was just a singer who put all his soul and feelings into his singing. Check out "It makes no difference" from The Last Waltz, Rick will break you heart with his rendition of that song.

She jumped in at the end because it started to sound like the Band’s regular version which ain’t bad but it doesn’t have the extra Spiritual/Soulful vibe that this special performance has. Thanks for running the last verse and the Old Time Religion jam.

One of the greatest groups ever and they were called THE BAND. This was a collab with THE STAPLES SINGER from a Martin Scorsese Movie. called THE LAST WALTZ. I saw THE BAND and they were rock, country, B and B, Great story tellers. Had four great singers. If you thought the one guy was moving strange watch The Late great JOE COCKER. from WOODSTOCK. The BAND was also at WOODSTOCK. They were grooving"

Well, I can predict that this channel won't be around long.

You're right. Mavis Staples is not just a backup singer. She is the one the best vocalists to ever walk this planet. She's a force of nature. Rick Danko didn't have any underlying conditions. Just lots and lots of chemicals. As far as Mavis' clapping, The Staples Singers were a pretty much a vocal group. The only instrument they used was Pop's guitar. So when they performed live, Cleotha, Yvonne, and Mavis would clap to help keep time and for percussion. If you re-watch her clapping, you'll see that it was in time with the verse.

lol, on the left on bass is the great Rick Danko and that’s just his style. He’s adorable. Watch anything he does, and you’ll see those are his mannerisms. Check out “It Makes No Difference” also from this same show, The Last Waltz. Absolutely beautiful.

The Last Waltz was the Bands farewell concert

"Crazy Chester folllowed me" . . . he is playing guitar and taking on the character of Chester.

This whole concert movie "the Last Waltz" is definitely worth watching. Lots of artist came out to play with 'The Band" for this concert, their retirement concert. Martin Scorsese directed it. It might make a good reaction if you do long reactions.

The name of the group is THE BAND.

The bass player has nothing wrong with him! That's who he/the band was. Fully into their own music and playing from the soul. Some extra "stuff" may have helped that behaviour too 😂 but for the most part it was who he was. R.i.p Rick Danko

Wattsstax been on my list to watch for a while. I remember seeing the trailer and The Staples are all eating ribs in the backseat on the way to the show

Tell ya what, Mavis was a "hot" little number back in the day!

Okay. You gonna have your hair blown all the way back. This is considered the best hippie song ever. Miss Mavis and Roacoe tear it all the way up! ❤

ever see Joe Cocker?

I think it's already been mentioned - "The Band" is (were) an outstanding band and they were on tour with Bob Dylan for several years and can be heard on a few albums. Of course, "The Band" was a group that made music that stood on its own - "The Weight" was a song that appeared in the film Easy Rider (produced and created by Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper) played and also became a hit. They make a few songs like "the night they drove old dixy down" or "stage freight" Just like other current ones at the time like “born to be wild” or “the pusher” from the band Steppenwolf. Best wishes @all from hamburg (germany)

Rick Danko, the bassist and singer of the verse you mentioned is amazing and you should listen to 2 of his primary The Band songs, Stage Fright and It Makes No Difference.

Let’s just say Rick Danko really loved his nose candy!

His condition is his soul!

Martin Scorsese made this film. Last Waltz is a documentary of The Bands last concert.

"Why she do that?" No need to question the Queen. Just enjoy

The Band was all that you mentioned Rock and Roll, Gospel, Country, Soul. They had been Bob Dylan's back up band before they released their first album "Music from The Bid Pink, which was very critical acclaimed and caught the attention of both George Harrison and Eric Clapton. Their next album was called the Brown Album, which was great as well. Unfortunately at that time drugs started to interfer with their creative process. Robbie Robertson was the main song writer, he had 3 members, his 3 lead singer, Richard Manuel, Levon Helm and my favorite Rick Danko doing heroin. They continued on for several years and finally Robbie had enough, the drugs the car crashes, they all did drugs, but Robbie stayed away from heroin, and he wanted to stop touring before something really bad happen. Thus the Last Waltz, which is considered the greastest concert film of all times.

It makes no difference. Its a song from the band. You will be glad to see and here it. Tx. Peace bro.

Fanny put a weight on him, she sent him to Nazareth, Pennsylvania to visit people he had never met. Obstacles began when he arrived, he couldn't find a place to stay the night, Carmen a person he was sent to see, left him with her friend the devil. Luke was waiting to die. Crazy Chester wanted him to take his dog, etcetera. By the end he felt like he was carrying a cannon ball in his bag, from the weight of the people he had met, "It's Miss Fanny who sent me here with her regards for everyone".

She clapped because she was into the music

That's the way he sings all the time. You should check out the movie " The Last Waltz"

The bassist has the same condition that Joe Crocker has, in many ways.

No that was just Rick being Rick, but he didn't always act like that. Listen and watch some of his other songs like "It makes no difference". Rick was in serious car accident in 68, broke his neck and back, after that he became addicted to heroin, at least off and on, the accident left him in pain the rest of his life.

Mavis was in the Spirit

The bass player is bopping to music. And he was probably high on something.

Honestly, hip hop people know nothing about music, look up the band and check them out.

Mavis is just providing a syncopated rhythm with her clapping. It's church. And the shy guy playing piano with the dark hair and beard is Richard Manuel. He was the best singer of all the great singers in The Band. But he didn't sing on The Weight. Check out his Georgia on My Mind.

Don't you recognize Mavis Staples's voice from _I'll Take You There_? Oh, mmm, I know a place Ain't nobody cryin' Ain't nobody worried Ain't no smilin' faces, mm-mm, no no … Lyin' to the races

Miss Mavis. 💙

Don't quit your day job. You ain't got no class.

The Lase Waltz is the legendary The Band preparing for their last performance, with many guests. Many artists have covered The Weight. Aretha Franklin has a killer version.

Welcome 😅😊😂🎉 gotta try Billy paul...me and Mrs jones.

"But my friend can stick around" I've watched many reactions to this song. You're the 1st on to catch that line. Good on you. This track is from the Last Waltz. Look It Up. The Band's swan song, a concert at the Fillmore that included thanksgiving dinner. The artists that appeared with them are all legendary. From Muddy Waters to Neil Diamond. take a look.kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lcmjoZp82bzJf4k.htmlsi=Wx2rDViRkQeADBKH

Martin Scorsese and seven 35mm Panavision Motion Picture cameras

Lol...If you think that singer that's jacked up has unusual moves, react to stage performances by Dr. Hook and also Joe Cocker!

The Band became legendary when Bob Dylan hired them as his permanent band ( Dylans musicians / bands are never really permanent. lol ). If you ignore Rockabilly and similar cowboy music, then The Band probably invented Country Rock as a genre......they definitely made it popular. The Weight was a feature song in the movie Easy Rider as was Born To Be Wild by Steppenwolf. .. .the movie giving both bands a world wide supercharged fan base.

The band has all the staples records.

Pops Staples.

Mavis Staples!

Are you from St. Louis? 94.7 KSHE 95?

You should sit down with a few music loving friends and family, watch Martin Scorsese’s masterpiece movie, The Last Waltz. He wanted to document the groups, farewell concert. They were joined by one or some of the best Singer, songwriters of that generation. You’ll enjoy it.

He was just moving to the song.

Bee gees..three dog night 😊😊do many😮😢😂🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

Watch the Last Waltz

The band and the staples different bands.

it sounds slowed down... it's much better at the right tempo

I really love this collabaration, but what I don't like, as someone who has early Parkinsons, is your assumption, that someone that just has a free style of playing, might have a similar condition.

Two different bands and why be shocked?

Anderson paak come down video banger 🔥🔥🔥🔥 a drummer who can sing... Eminem Lord above song he says something about Anderson paak I want u to hear

WTF crazy comment

Do NBA YoungBoy fuck da industry
