Photos that ROCK! Levon Helm Tribute

Tuesday, May 15, 2012 By Suzanne McMahon

IN TRIBUTE TO LEVON HELM: MAY 1940- April 2012

Levon Helm Band

Life is Good Music Festival in Canton, MA: September 2011

Post by Suzanne D. McMahon (Suzanne Davis Photography)

 I feel so incredibly lucky that I had the opportunity to photograph Levon Helm at the Life is Good music festival last year. It was hard to believe that I was standing in a photo pit with thousands of people behind me, just a few feet away from this legend. Due to his voice being impacted by throat cancer, Levon did not sing much (just one verse of “The Weight”) but he dazzled the crowd with his smile and presence. This was certainly an unforgettable experience.
