there are not many people in the world who can drum and sing at the same time but Levon was the genius of that!!!!

My favorite musician of all time...I'm 67 by the way

This man beat cancer twice and played with all his heart. You got to love this man's spirit.

Crap like that wouldn't enter the mind of a great Southern Gentleman like Levon
He remained a lovable, gentle soul til the end, but it's just the beginning for Levon. He is getting his rewards in Heaven for all the joy he gave us on earth. No one was more loved than Mr Levon Helm

[TwangThang]

No one loved playing music more than Levon Helm. Such joy whenever he played!

Drums onstage at the Ryman!  Brass section?!?!   People dancing in the aisles! 
The horror!  George Hay is rolling in his grave.
And I'm loving it.

Woodstock, NY will always be truly blessed and honored that the tradition of incredible music and wonderfully rockin' times have lived on through the great Levon Helm, his family, and his friends.

[PeterHyatt]

after all these years and health issues, his voice is still magnificent! Wow! The band, the horns...all works together so well, but it is the vocals that take center stage!

[TallTiger]

I was at this show. I think tickets were $30. LOL. Priceless.

[RebelChild]

The Band, one of my biggest musical heroes. When I clicked on this video, I expected it to be a weak version of the versions I knew, because that has happened too many times before... But it wasn't. Levon Helm remains one of my musical heroes. Such a legend.
I love The Band.

[thestraydawgs]

Really miss Levon and his music. He had a way of delivery that just made you feel like you were in the presence of a friend that you had known your whole life. Every show was always casual and full of comfort. Just like Mama's cookin.

[TheHeavensarrow]

Grew up as a young girl listening to Levon! I love his voice! I miss him. He was amazing and what a thousand kilowatt smile! RIP Levon..You are not forgotten!! Your music lives on!

[jpe]

[paulmolkenbur]

Good Lord I miss him he still brings tears to my eyes He was the BAND
