SmokestackLightnin Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Sad to see him gone. Saw in the paper last week that he was in the final stages of his battle. Never saw him with The Band but did take in a number of club appearances in Toronto he did a number of years back with Rick Danko. And now they're both gone.

esoxansteel Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 Seen Levon Helm at the Pines in Bridgenorth, and it is truly said to see these legends disappear, one of the greatest bands that ever formed and played, although it was much too short, and the Last Waltz was a legendary performance, with great artist, and was tyhe end of an era for the BAND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superdad Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Saw him with Dylan at the Old Montreal Forum when Dylan and the Band toured in the 'Before the Flood' Tour. In fact we waited from 0500 outside the Forum to get our tickets and we got 32 tickets in a single row on the floor. We all lite sparklers (beforethey were banned from concerts). It was a great night.... Levon will be missed David aka Superdad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bushart Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Also should be noted that Richard Manuel--(Piano) passed away some years ago Leaving Robbie and Garth---who is a neighbor to some of ya down in the Dundas-- Waterdown hood The Band had a few Ontario connections---I believe Rick Danko was from Port Dover and Robbie from TO also had ties at 6 Nations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I met Lavon I think it was at the Riverboat in Yorkville. A good yak with him about Ronnie Hawkins...the dude was a champ. He lost his voice many years ago but his daughter worked with him to make it better, and it did come back. That was after the Band years. I have almost everything he ever did. The Band's last concert is a classic that I watch from time to time on DVD. RIP my friend..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did 2 shows Jan 74. at the old Maple Leaf Gardens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I saw Levon and his band twice at Massey Hall in the last 2-3 years. Glad I did. The last time he looked more frail than the first and had a humidfier blowing on him at his drum kit. Still a great showman and both great concerts.
