chills, i absolutely love steam engine. i listen to it coming home from somewhere late at night in my car on repeat. haha long sentence.

mmj_fanatic, i pee my pants a little when someone loves the last waltz! i get really emotional about watching it, i pretty much cry everytime. that music is my life (besides mmj) and seeing it all together is just too much.

[SmoothOprtr]

Sorry about they above.... :P

I love Steam Engine as well.... I know I saw this thread a few monthes back, but does anybody know what the back vocals are saying at the end of the song?

[The Boar]

Wow, Steam Engine, yes (as you can tell from my moniker and my tag). And wow, The Last Waltz, yes. Both of them absolutely floor me, and I am without exception always glued to the stereo/TV when they are on.

whothrewthecake, wow you have had quite an impressive opening! Are you single?  :o  Just kidding  ;D  Or am I?..... :-*

[whothrewthecake]

i must say that it is very exciting to have so many replies. it just proves that everyone is indeed very nice. and to mr. boar, well yes i am.

I remember when I first posted here and nobody replied for days! oh well, welcome whothrewthecake! we ALL pee our pants when we listen to the last waltz. anybody who says otherwise is lying! ;)

hahahahaha i am really glad that other people also experience bladder control loss.

I experienced bladder control loss, as well, but in my eyes.  I still can't believe it took me until 29 to see that film.  

It made me fall in love with Richard Manuel.  :)

[whothrewthecake]

oh man! isn't he the greatest!?  :D  i just love levon, though. he's always been my favorite member.

[EC]

Oh, Levon is great, don't get me wrong.  I love all of them, even RR with all of his "I'm a good-looking guy" eyebrow moves.  

Just something about that Richard that makes me love him the most.  Maybe it's the hair.  heh.  :)

[whothrewthecake]

robbie does pull some of his best faces out. i love richard when he is lounged out on the couch talking about the band's name. classic.

[Billy_Pilgrim]

Man, this place gets better and better. The Last Waltz is just beautiful, from start to finish. I was already well into The Band and Dylan when I saw it for the first time, but that film got me into Neil Young, Emmylou Harris and Muddy Waters among others. A whole new world of music was opened up to me.

[EC]

Emmylou is one of my favourite bits aside from the big rock in Neil's nose.  She seems a little bit afraid, and they make her stand all by herself.  Her dress is great.  I think we girls should start to wear dresses like that again.  

[peanut butter puddin surprise]

So, a posting with a pic of that dress is out of the question?  I'd like to see this dress...

[whothrewthecake]

EC, i am all about bringing the dress back. the question is though, can the boys wear pants like robbie and rick have on?  ;)

i am looking for a picture everywhere and i can't find one! you can go to imdb.com and search the last waltz and watch the movie trailer because i believe they show a shot of her singing in that. haha it may stay enveloped in mystery!!

[whothrewthecake]

ok, i couldn't find a picture! but i found a video clip of her part in the movie so now you can see her dress in all its wonderful glory.

http://theband.hiof.no/video_clips/index.html

scroll down to The Band 1968-1976 and her clip is there under "Emmylou Harris and The Band doing 'Evangeline'"

let me know what you think!

[EC]

Crap, though.  It doesn't show the whole thing.  It cuts off in that big pan before you get to her.  

I have a girl crush on Emmylou Harris.

[whothrewthecake]

OH NO! i just watched it. man that sucks. couldn't they have let it run like 3 more seconds?  :'(

in other news, come closer is an amazing song.

[PrazAngel]

I hear ya! I can't ever stop listening to Emmylou once I start!
Oh and Welcome whothrewthecake! :) :)

p.s. Has anyone heard the Drive-by Truckers Danko/Mauel song? It is REALLY sweet!
