Who Do You Love?
Rory Harper
Here’s a little something to tide you over while you’re waiting for my longer post this evening.
It’s Ronnie Hawkins and the Band doing ‘Who Do You Love’, as filmed in Martin Scorsese’s ‘The Last Waltz’. The Hawk rocks pretty hard, IMHO. But Brad does it better, and I have a tape to prove it. I may work on that sometime soon….

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, does “Who Do You Love” better than Brad. Nobody.

Hmmm, I could be wrong, and am sorry if so, but the comment above looks like comment spam, so I wiped the e-mail address it was associated with.
But I left the comment itself, because I’m hoping the poster will clarify whether it’s Ronnie or Bradley that they luv.

This is my favorite clip from The Last Waltz. He’s having so much fun! Van Mo’s “Caravan” is a close second.

I’d go with Caravan, Beautiful Noise (miracles occur rarely), and then this one.

Sorry; the second should be “Dry Your Eyes.”

Yes. Amazing movie. I also like ‘Festival Express’, which is about a doomed train tour of Canada, with The Band, the Dead, Janis Joplin, and a baby Buddy Guy, among others. The music may not be as good, but there are some excellent moments in it, and it’s a heart-rending document of a long-gone era.
Incidentally — I won’t be posting tonight because I had this monster burst of migraine wonderfulness this afternoon. Had the whole spectrum, the unimaginable pain, the exploding eyeballs, the photo-sensitivity, the hurling, the passing out. It wasn’t the least bit boring.
I feel much improved now, but am spacey and slow and am about to go back to bed, I think. Sorry.
