They did a great job of channeling a mixture of Rick Danko and their own life experience. I'll give them all the credit there is for NOT ignoring (as if one could) what Rick gave to this song. I think Rick would be shocked that there was ANY negative comments on this stunning live performance. Listen to the crowd's applause, that says it all.

Blayne Marlo I just said something similar on another video of Warren Haines doing it. This is a damn impossible song to do after hearing Danko do it. Shivers down my spine. But I have to give it to this version they capture the desperation quite well. If you ever try and do this tune you will find everyone in the band has to absolutely be into it and lose themselves in it. Otherwise it just fails. One of the most if not The Most beautiful songs ever.

so true about robbie. he is so far way up there in the pantheon and people just don't know it because he largely didn't sing (couldn't sing) his genius tunes. And the fact that he is apparently an incorrigible, petty human doesn't help. this song is exquisite.

Back to this cover: my favorite Band song and it gives me goose bumps and jerks the tears every time. MMJ does a super cover on "Love for Levon" and Yim Yames and Britany pour it out on this one. Love for Rick Danko - nothing can touch that, but awesome that the song lives on.

The music is secondary to them, and the "singers" are disposable. Gone in a few weeks to make way for the next person who can shake their ass. Thank god there are REAL musicians like MMJ, the Shakes, and a few others to carry the torch.

This is a worthy rendition. No question. But even though he didn't compose it, Rick Danko owns this song in the same way that Joe Cocker owns the Beatles With A Little Help From My Friends.Both due to their incomparable deliveries. The Band was a amazingly talented ensemble of which I was a fan in Toronto before they had this name. Yet even in 2021 if you ask me who was their #1 vocalist I can give 3 different answers depending on the day you ask. That is something I could never say about any other band of memory.

Disagree with the comment below about the dedication to Levon as being in "poor taste." I realize this is Rick's song but Levon has been a symbol for The Band and carried on their tradition through the years, so many younger musicians (like Jim James) probably looked up to him. Also, Levon may have experienced health troubles at this time, which is part of the reason for the dedication.
