By this time Richard Manual could hardly make it through a song, he was so far gone, though he did "Georgia" decently here.
Shy, sensitive soul who found escape from the pressure with alcohol.
He hung himself, thereafter.

Just listening while I do some work. Can't watch as Robinson's preening is off-putting.

Catch Rick Danko do "Stage Freight". Terrific.

He died in his 50's

Levon Helm died of lung cancer. Smoked like a house a fire. He was the sole American and gave the band it's rockabilly-Americana sound. Surprisingly, the other four were from Canada. Yet such an "American" sound.

Life on the road ate them up

But on a happy note, we are gifted with their music.

The Band was damn good. Scorsese is something I have learned to not like. I don't know if he's lost or I have tired of him, but h hasn't been on my list of movie musts.
