This is film of the “Rock of Ages” recording: never knew it existed. What great shots of Levon Helm (the only non-Canadian) from behind, so that you can see that amazing pedal work he does. That’s a really intricate but driving beat he’s laying down … not to mention he’s singing the damn song! Thanks for posting.
@ZinkDude — hhaaahahahah!..man, I love (and agree) with your comment…..not just ANY old water…but HOLY WATER!!…not just to cool down..but because this is the kind of music The Holy Spirit would Itself be dancing to!…Love how Levon drums thru ‘my biggest mistake was loving you too much’…his drumming and vocals both – tight!
Joy – pure Joy – that’s what’s missing from todays cheap, contrived bullshit music.“`
A lesson for all today’s shitty little bands on what ten years of sheer fucking hard graft, practice, constant gigging and talent can produce. But it takes intelligence to take an already great song and put your own stamp on it and you can’t buy that.
That is why music’s so shit now. Nobody wants to serve their apprenticeship.
These guys are simply THE BEST Americana band EVER. They own this music, right from their souls. It makes me smile every time I hear Levon’s voice, the funky beat, the great horns…..life’s a carnival! Nick
Magical!!!!!!!!
I do agree: if you don’t know them, you know nothing about music. Regards from Brasil (with “s”, please).
danko danko danko danko

@mojopin70 I agree wholeheartedly. They’ve got to be the most underrated band in the business. their music will live on forever.
If you don’ t know these guys, you don’t know music
Does anyone have “Life Is a Carnival”? Would love to hear that one again…
ol Levon, Almost looks like Ginger Baker, right there! Levon is a great artist, They all are!

Levon Helm, the most soulful motherfacker ever? Yes.
@mojopin70 Amen
Animal o vocal de Levon Helm. Esta é uma das melhores perfomanves ao vivo da banda. Muito bom mesmo.
@maceomaceo11 my bad “americana” I get ya.
@dialacroc Levon Helm is the only American. The rest are no doubt the best Canada has produced.
