Cause they are dumb asses. Lot of people don’t realize that Levon Helm had a Platinum Album in five different decades, one after he had throat cancer and lost his voice and retrain his voice.

Well, the page gives you the chance to vote. Sometimes it's ignorance, because I loved many of The Band's hit when I was growing up right behind them--I'm 73--but never "registered" and cared for The Weight until KZfaq. Other times it's the person's mood. I was feeling so crappy before I listened to this that if you'd popped me up a song I half like and thought was okay, I wasn't strong enough to give it a positive reaction. Jesus one time said, If you're not for me, you're against me. The soul is not Always ready to respond to goodness or upbeat energy.

I liked this piece as soon I played it and I always listen what words are sung and I favored this song by levon helm ...along with Rosanna Cash and the the rest supporting singers . Levon helm is singing what came true to one particular real individual,this is no joke I'm serious about the following first I am not no believer in coincidence is why I took song seriously about Carmen and the devil/lucifer walking side to side only it was not Carmen walking with it rather devil was walking with Carmen only that Carmen did not call it and for matter in no name of form. I do not joke of things not of this realm

@@carmenrivera5904 My Guru Yogananda says a "force of opposition" exists in us or with us until we learn completely to yield to the force of light or good. This light is our original true nature that we have forgotten or not followed well or lost track of due to the confusion of being in this material world. We want what is in the world--security, love, sex, control, success, revenge, etc--more than we wish to seek out the light. Until in time we learn that doesn't bring peace and happiness.

I myself like and enjoy this song + . Levon sings really of one person actually did what Levon says in this piece: Carmen and devil/satan walked side by side for three nights in a row

So true

@ユウ probably italian people of a certain age with a certain taste for music. So . . . Not so many😊

AMEN helps alot to see all the diff. ones thu the years.

I cried too... but these are tears of joy knowing that Levon is in a better place... Levon if you are there you rock, man!

Ha, you must be old as shit too. 60 in June. Rock on

i guess I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to watch newly released movies online?

@Cyrus Khalid flixportal xD

Levon Helms and Robbie Robertson both because Robbie wrote it and Levon did an amazing job lead singing it. Especially in The Last Waltz. Robbie said that was the best he had ever heard him sing it. They had been performing it 8 years at that time.

Oh yes, since 2009 when the cancer first started spreading.

Fabulous. It's magically good.

They are having fun... And they ain't snorting coke, like Last Waltz...

con. bombadil. yeah he sure had to work hard to get through. rip levon

S.M. Your message is so on point. He was truly an American treasure. Too many of our heroes gone too soon. May he RIP

Its so sad that his great and original voice...one of the quintessential voices of American music..was damaged the way it was. Still everyone knows the impact it had...and thats why they continued to honor the man. But what a travesty that voice was taken. Thank God we have the recordings...and had Levon Helms the man for lil while.

That was incredibly sweet.

@@jimberlygridder183 Such a good phrase, and I spend my life working to make good phrases: "one of the quintessential voices of American music" Power in the tubes. Right there with Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Cash, Paul Robeson, and 127 others.

Maybe Jerry Garcia, but I hear what your saying buckfan. I'm 65 and couldn't agree more.

Something about the way Levon and his band did this song...the perfect ending to one of his Rambles. Special.

yes he surely was....WHAT a voice...what a heart.!

I'm 70.... And Levon IS The Man

Well said man

My favorite vocalist all time. LEVON HELM raspy ass drummer.

It did

Mine too....and at 78 that don’t often happen!

The love that Theresa expressed to Levon there was overwhelming. And Levon was so happy to sing that verse with her. What a great version.

Benmont Tench on piano made a lot of great music for years with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

Yeah. To bad she couldn't be troubled to learn 1 single verse.

@@myphilippineamericanjourne4731 Oh boy, stop bitching and take it at face value, some things are better to be left alone!

I'm sure they didn't need your urging.

Neil Young said at The Last Waltz, "It's one of the pleasures of my life to be on this stage with these people tonight."

good one! :)

Levon was the soul of this song.

john prine

Rosanne's pop.

Beautiful. Somebody said in overstatement, but making a good point, no drummer should sing not named Levon Helm.

yup. Along John and June.

Love sustained as long as it did

Amy isn't here.

sorry ... my bad ...

Interesting that Williams & Helm sing the last verse as a duet -- just like Danko & Helm always did. She's watching him closely,following the master's lead.

@@brucerobinson9321 Williams had tears in her eyes.

@@elizabethcoopers901 who is the woman who does duet with him - her being near tears as she sang induced mine.

midnight tears here...

I miss the '60s.

That is not Amy. It is Teresa Williams.

Um, that's Levon, friend.

It was a rhetorical question..

That girl is Roseann Cash.

Leven rest in peace x
