The Band / The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
R.I.P Levon Helm
Saw the farewell tour when they came through Pittsburgh! Don't remember much about it, CRS ! "Can't remember s#*t" Sorry! Thats a consequence of growing up in the 60's & 70's! But I awlways loved his style! RIP
ty DP i am from the late 60 early 70 , The Band then was THE BAND, he is in RRoll paradise .
And he nails it as an actor in this scene-
Oh my god, caddie, absolutely right. Completely, perfectly effective. Whoa. I always knew he was a very good actor going back to Coal Miner's Daughter but that scene is absolutely stellar. What was that film???
Never mind, looked it up. It was a film called Shooter. Wasn't particularly interested in it when it came out but now I am. Gonna Netflix it.
From their farewell concert 'The Last Waltz' 1976
