On the Last Waltz thread: If you read Levon Helm's account of that nite he and the other boys in The Band were not that enthused about it. They felt that RR was too Holywood. If you look at the movie Robbie has too much makeup on. Levon was not happy about having Neil Diamond as a guest as he never played with The Band but was an associate of RR. Martin Scorcesee was RR's buddy and alot of the closeups were of RR and there was very little shots of Richard Manuel. I am a huge fan of The Band as my first concert ever was The Band /The Grateful Dead. As much as a fan of the GD I do believe I enjoyed The Band's set that nite the most.
Its sad that there will never be a reunion with RR and the rest of the boys due to RM and RDs passing. Some Great Music !
