    Yes, thanks for the analogy of Jon Lord and Garth… it’s very rare to see how he played the Lowrey.

    these guys were extremely talented in their own right. That’s why it worked so well for them..

    @ioriorioriorio Today’s music is all cheap fakery.

    I love the Band. And I love this song. But this version smacks of boring, self-indulgent 70s stadium pomp. And Garth (who could run circles around me a billion times as a musician) even makes his this song’s classic riff sound like crap here.

    @magnummg put it to ya like this magnum: Listen closely here, both hard and soft passages…today’s shit is all of one or the other…either all out , or wimp stuff like green day….theres no range anymore

    @boonetrc hah….funny..thats what garth’s wife said

    That is no Hammond, that is the tin can called a Lowrey, Garth hated Hammonds. Although his organs through the years created some very unique sounds, they cannot come close the warmth and airyness of a B3 with a Lesie.

  11. boonetrc says:

    If only Garth would have played a B3…

    The Band has created pastoral justice to the world.

    Love the Band and I’m glad to see “The Beak” get some face time – unlike in The Last Waltz :-)

    Ran into Garth at Yale Eletronics on Sunset Boulevard in ’77 and asked him about CF. If his eyelids were any indication, he was pretty blitzed at the moment and said, “Well, I can never remember how I played it the last time, so I just do whatever comes to mind. I think [Jimmy] Greenspoon [in Three Dog Night] gets it right more often than I do.”

    awesome!!

    It’s actually a Lowrey organ and you can find one like this for a good price on ebay.

    Actually this is after “Tour 74, With Dylan” The Band was a opening act for people like CNSY and Clapton, This was from the last 4 or 5 months of 1974, No Dylan.

    hope this helped, it always confused me.

  19. TheRacboys says:

    This performance is included on The Band’s box set DVD. I do not think this is from Dylan ’74 tour.Great song.
