The movie was the brainchild of Robbie Robertson and Scorsece and none of the other guys wanted to break up The Band.<BR/><BR/>All the vocals are re-done. Except for Levon's because he told them all to go to hell and left. Robbie's mic isn't even ON in the movie. And they don't show much of Garth or Richard Manuel.<BR/><BR/>But then by that point, Richard was in BAD shape. And Neil doing Helpless? He came out with a giant chunk of blow hanging out of his nose and they had to remove it somehow from the film.<BR/><BR/>I think my favorite bit outside of the concert is the studio version of The Weight. The instruments they are playing are so cool. What the heck is that bass Danko is playing?Isorskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14484072540653411158noreply@blogger.com
