Here's Levon Helm at Woodstock singing possibly the best Band song (and in his view, and the view of other members of the Band, like much of [...]

...Watch The Last Waltz in tribute to Levon Helm who passed away yesterday. The Band's drummer and singer was 71. I don't have an intimate knowledge of the discography of the man but I will say this: Scorsese's The Last Waltz film of The Band's farewell gig is the greatest music concert I've ever seen committed to film.

I've heard a great, hilarious story about Levon that I can't repeat here, but if you see me sometime, grab me and I'll tell it to you. The man was a champion. Here are two wonderful videos, one old and one new. The Band at Syria Mosque, Pittsburgh, 1970. And here's a PBS video from one of Levon's [...]
