Well, I’m still on the road but I should be home and back in the studio tomorrow morning which is always a relief. Back to the routine that I really like and can thrive in.
As I drive I listen to my iPod, usually just leaving it on shuffle so that anything can pop up. Sometimes things come on that I haven’t heard in a while and it’s always a pleasant surprise.
Here’s one that always makes me wish I could sing. It’s from Martin Scorsese’s The Last Waltz which is a documenting of The Band‘s last concert. It’s a great film and this is a great version of The Weight with a lot of help from the Staple Singers.
Enjoy!
Next time you’ll have to take a few days to let me show you around the Triangle, maybe even get you some representation here.
The Band is one of my favorite all-time bands. The Last Waltz is my favorite concert film. The Weight with the Staple Singers, may be my favorite song from that film. Great stuff.
Thanks.
I can’t even think of another concert film that comes close to The Last Waltz. The huge number of legendary performers, Scorsese’s beautiful cinematic treatment and all the backstories from the Band. What more can you ask for?
