Monday Morning Video: Love for Levon Helm

Monday, October 08, 2012 By Mayer Danzig

A special benefit was held last week in New Jersey to raise funds to preserve Helm’s farmhouse studio in upstate New York and continue his tradition of Midnight Ramble performances. Alas, I wasn’t at the show, but all reports indicate it was a truly special evening. Guest included Mavis Staples, Roger Waters, John Hiatt, Gregg Allman, Grace Potter, Ray LaMontagne and original Band member Garth Hudson to name just a few.

Visit the Midnight Ramble web site to learn how you can play your part in preserving Helm’s musical legacy.

Here’s the finale from last week’s show, an inspiring take on the Band’s “The Weight” that featured many of the night’s performers.
