Brilliant performance by Levon Helm on the drums and being the lead singer. I love this song.

    It makes sense that your young son likes it: when it was written, Robbie Robertson had to be quiet so as not to wake up his sleeping daughter. So there may be some kind of father/child thing with this song. Check out the BBC Classic Albums special, where this clip is taken from: https://youtu.be/VusxYu9Uycs?t=75

        You’re welcome. That whole film is fantastic, including a sequence where Levon talks about singing and drumming at the same time. He claims that it’s in fact easier that way…
