In a coincidence with Oscar night, here is a song from one of the best concert films.

And front and center, ready for his closeup is Levon Helm, who simultaneously lays down a big beat and belts the lead vocal.

He's got help, though, from some other guys who apparently are all working together as part of a Band of some sort. What a time for group harmonies. These guys may have literally been breaking up at the time of this performance, but the euphoric way they sing together at the peak of this song shows what pure talent creates when it gets together.

Man, Levon is fun to watch in this.
