The extended intro really sets the mood. Very dream like almost twilight zoneish if you get what I mean...

I was stunned when I discovered this existed. Very little info on it was mentioned anywhere, I thought the version on the 2000 Big Pink remaster was it.

I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I will continue to share what I feel are historic recordings related to The Band in the future!

Historical because it's probably the last time someone recorded him sing this, as he would be moved on from here in 7 days..

So I recently decided I'd get back into sharing some amazing Band related tracks. Some are already aware of this outtake, but most aren't. By putting these on YouTube this stuff can be archived better and be more accessible to new and old fans.

How this didn't make the Big Pink reissue is very puzzling but perhaps it was a quality issue? The good news is there is more and I plan to share it so The Bands amazing legacy can be enjoyed for years and years to come!

I hope you enjoy this as much as I do (it's probably my favorite Richard Manuel track)

**YouTube might delete this.

This is just as moving as I Shall Be Released or Whispering Pines or even more so. This is real music, AI will never be able to replicate something real like this...

I listen to this compilation in my garage with my bruce shorts on way above my knees too btw.

I'm sure I'll get attacked,

But I freaking love this.

Really reminds me of It's O.K. for some reason.

Yes they played it at the Academy, but that was put together on the spot for Dylan to sing.

According to the Levon book by Sandra Tooze it was played one night. I believe this to be the only time the song was played with Levon singing it in that period live. No recording has ever come forward. Which is a shame.

Considering how tight they were in this period I imagine they nailed it. Just listen to the few low quality recording we have of obscure Cahoots songs. Shootout in China Town, Where Do We Go From Here. These songs were all dropped though very quickly unfortunately. They were spot on though as demonstrated in the above video of Where Do We Go From Here? So I'm not too sure why they decided to move off them so quickly.

The boys absolutely kill it here. Although Dylan is singing, this is musically one of the guys finest moments. It's surprising that this song in particular isn't more well known.
