The song is catchy…. But I’m always really concerned that Jack (the dog) is ok. Anyone?

And fuck you, Chester, for trading away your pooch. I hate you, Chester.

Thank You for the lyrics.  I was 13yrs old when this came out & had no idea of what they were singing.  WNEW FM 102.7 NYC used to play it a lot.  GREAT TUNE!!  Thanx RP!

One of many songs that partly explain why I have spent my entire adult life wishing I was born a generation earlier.

“Take a load off fanny, Take a load for free”, has a different interpretation in the UK!


 

Things that make you say, "hmmm."   


Anyway, I've always thought it was either "take a load off Annie" or "take a load off, Annie."  Now you've gone and complicated everything, Spock!

{#Ass} A great, classic song that only appeals to people who are not desperate to sound too cool for the room.

The first time I became aware of The Band was as a sound track in the movie Easy Rider (1969) when fresh out of the service and I've enjoyed both the music and the movie ever since. Just hearing it again takes me back to those good times. Thanks RP, us old farts enjoy the oldies, too.

While it's another that can be found on any good rock station, even on some easy-listening stations, it's just one of those of such splended quality, it'll never annoy me being in RP.

This song always stops me in my tracks, it always requires my full attention. Hence, this note.

Just read the lyrics.

All these years, I thought he was saying "Take a load off Granny".

My roomie had this and it was always on the stack (!) on the player.


It was the only record which got played at the full 5watts that thing had.  And Bill, it becomes less opaque within the ambit of the film "Easy Rider"

almost perfect.  yes, god bless Levon.  The rest of the group does okay, too.

Another crummy song from a crappy and overrated band.
Posted 12 years ago by Curley24    [ Reply ]
Wow... The really clobbered Rick Danko's voice in the remix. This is terrible. Dig out the old CD, Bill.
Posted 13 years ago by JanioV    [ Reply ]
Man, this must be remastered - I can really hear Garth tickling the ivories in the background of the verses.

RIP Levon. By all accounts a decent human being and there's damned few of those. 
Posted 13 years ago by nagsheadlocal    [ Reply ]
I saw them after Robbie Robertson left The Band and before Richard Manuel committed suicide. They played an outdoor food festival in Detroit's New Center area. Here was one of the coolest, most influential groups in the history of rock and they were playing for free in the middle of West Grand Boulevard. And practically no one was paying attention. Sigh.  
Posted 13 years ago by Grammarcop    [ Reply ]
A big bright earthly light has been extinguished. Levon's passing has been harder to take for some reason. In the battle of the bands, I think heaven is winning.
Posted 13 years ago by Sasha2001    [ Reply ]
Not a bad legacy. RIP Levon.
Posted 13 years ago by Webfoot    [ Reply ]
I am not kidding: I have seen the Last Waltz over 100 times (blame my brother who is on his third copy of the DVD) and Levon was the coolest looking drummer EVER!!!  Sorry I never attended a ramble

Why is the live version with the Staples being played, but not this one? Just because Cingular appropriated it for a TV commercial? (Which, by the way, has some of the finest sound quality I've ever heard on TV!)
