The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down  THE BAND

Featured Replies

Hey Fellas: this was from the movie THE LAST WALTZ, the Bands last concert, with the original lineup. Check out the lead in RIchard Manual( Harmonica) hung himself shortly after Robbie Robertson freaked and dissolved the group On Fiddle Rick Danko, their bass player, died in 1999 in his sleep. This group was unbelievable live.

In the main song : Check out Levon Helm , thier drummer sigin and playing double stops,ruffs and diddles and never strays from the beat. Max Wienberg( Springsteens and late Night drummer) once wrote

"Levon Helm is the only drummer who can make you cry"

 Always thought Old Farts were the only ones to say this, guess I just made it true :-[. "They don't make themlike they used to"...
