Only the 2 Canadian members of The Band left. Robbie Robertson and Garth Hudson.
The footage of The Band, in Calgary, at Festival Express, one of my all time favourites: @ 4 minute mark. (not that the rest of it isn't great). Festival express part 8 - YouTube Last edited by creaturecat; 04-18-2012 at 08:34 AM.. |

This is a devastating version - one of the great live performances. Levon channeling the anguish of history. Awesome. God speed.

Not seeing reports that he passed, but either way this song seems pretty apt
Early in the morning When the church bells toll The choir's gonna sing And the hearse will roll On down to the graveyard Where it's cold and gray And then the sun's gonna shine Through the shadows When I go away Don't want no sorrow For this old orphan boy I don't want no crying Only tears of joy I'm gonna see my mother Gonna see my father And I'll be bound for glory In the morning When I go away I'll be lifted up to the clouds On the wings of angels There's only flesh and bones In the ground Where my troubles will stay See that storm over yonder It's gonna rain all day But then the sun's gonna shine Through the shadows When I go away (I'm going home - Lift me up) When I go away (No more trouble - I'm going home) (Lift me up - When I go away) No more crying (I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away) No more trials (I'm going home) Home to leave my worries in the ground (I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away) No more troubles (I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away) No more crying (I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away) No more trials (I'm going home) Home to leave my worries in the graveyard Home to leave my troubles in the graveyard Home to leave my trials And I'll be bound for glory In the morning When I go away All my kin who love me All my friends who care Look beyond the dark clouds We're gonna meet up there When they lay me in the cold ground Bow your heads and pray (Bow your heads and pray) And I'll be bound for glory In the morning When I go away And then the sun's gonna shine Through the shadows When I go away (I'm going home - Lift me up) When I go away (No more trouble - I'm going home) (Lift me up - When I go away) No more crying (I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away) No more trials (I'm going home) Home to leave my worries in the graveyard (I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away) No more troubles (I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away) No more crying (I'm going home - Lift me up - When I go away) No more trials (I'm going home) Home to leave my worries in the graveyard Home to leave my troubles in the graveyard Home to leave my trials And I'll be bound for glory In the morning When I go away And then the sun's gonna shine Through the shadows When I go away Ah, when I go away When I go away (When I go away) When I go away (When I go away) When I go away |

Tim T, my favorite line of that move is at the very end of that clip, "Still got the shovel"
