HMMM. I always thought that the difference between a professional musician and me was that they could sing/play on tune even when in front of an audience. This version does nothing for me. Ick. |

Ouch! This is not good.
It has to be Julie Driscoll and The Brian Auger Trinity or nothing.
'nuff said.

They ARE in reruns, on the LOGO channel. Thursday nights, and various times repeated through the week. Sweetie Darling, you must watch! |

"This is a great song. Strangely, very few covers seem to do it justice. I thought this version was one of the best. " lalaland0417 "They are terrific together. I hope they record together too." |

I was listening to a Danko club show last night. I miss him something fierce. He used to play a lot of club shows around here when I first moved to Albany and I got to meet him a few times. Very nice, sunny guy, you know. Just loved to play live...and I loved hearing him play live. I just miss him...a lot.

I think it's just the recording itself, which doesn't sound like it was taken from the board. If you listen to the remastered DVD, The Last Waltz, the sound is awesome! |

For a cover of this, check out Leslie West's "Mountain" CD. |

I love the original raw version on the Basement Tapes with Bob Dylan and the Band. Serena Rider also does a pretty good version.
