The Levon Helm band was in true form with a blend of gospel,blues jazz and rock. Everyone shined in that band, the horns,strings,keys,drums and singing. it kept the audience excited and on their feet thoughout the evening.

Great show. Wonderful sonic experience. Stage filled with great horn players, acordian, organ, some familiar faces from Bob Dylan concerts and the 1990's Band lineup, wonderful vocal harmonies. If you like good old Americana music, you will enjoy seeing Levon Helm and his band.

Have you ever spent an evening with an old friend and felt that you probably wouldn't see them again and so the time seems both precious and somehow sad-making all at once? Well that doggoned son of an Arkansas dirt farmer, Levon Helm, has pulled that act on me since 1976 and I'm getting to the point that I swear that these old house-counting eyes won't tear up-but they do. Making taut authentic records since 19freaking59 and delivering superb live musicianship with a coterie of seminal musicians including Ronnie Hawkins, Muddy Waters, Dr. John, Paul Butterfield, Allen Toussaint, Steve Earl,Donald Fagen, The Staple singers, Howard Johnson, Johnnie Johnson, Steve Cropper, Duck Dunn,Johnny Cash, Elvis' boys Scotty and Bill, Bob Dylan, his current generously talented amalgamation and many others (not to mention his cohorts in stretching so-called Rock Music both forward and, incredibly, credibly backward: The Band!) Levon Helm is beyond legend at our house.
I saw Levon five times with The Band in it's original incarnation, once with his cousins' group The Cate Brothers, once with Garth the Great and Richard and Rick with the Cates
and four times with the Jericho-era Band (the first time, interestingly, with Billy Preston filling the role vacated by the death of Stan Sylest prior to Richard Bell in Richard Manuel's rocking chair;-- r.i.p. to those IvoryPounders]. The Bride From Across the Great Divide and I made the small p pilgrimage to the house that brings a smile and a spine-tingling Ramble in May 06 with a ghostly John Sebastian playing harmonica and hiding near the horn section and doubling my visit with an old friend deja vu. Last year in Grand Rapids at the Meier Gardens and now, improbably, at the Michigan Theatre.
Sure, he was great. I had a little nervousness at the start when he didn't sing for the first few selections. Not for me, mind you , I'd pay to see him drum with No, 2 pencils on The Yellow Pages, but for those kind people worried about his health and throat troubles, but that old rascal was just setting us up. Again. God Bless Levon Helm!

Probably in the top 3 lifetime concerts. Departed with a feeling that I had reached a higher plane. There is certainly a difference in watching an entertainer and watching an artist.
Levon is an artist. Listening to him sing the last song with his daughter a cappella was like watching Picasso draw.

Just a great concert. With as many as 13 skilled musicians on stage at any time. Such a wide range of music was presented from some of The Bands early hits to beautiful gospel songs. While many songs were raucous and rockin' there were quiet subdued moments too.

I am a lifelong fan of Levon and the Band and have everything they ever recorded.

The back-up band was very good, similar in style to the group Springsteen used on the Seeger Sessions CD.

Levon appeared ill and emaciated; he actively performed a few numbers and when he did; had little energy or fire.

So sad,

He once was the best....

Perfection in every way. Each musician, every song--from old Band standards to the final encore--a thrilling 4-part harmony with Levon and daughter Amy, this concert will forever be on my list of top musical experiences. Made me want to make one more trip to the Midnight Ramble.

I was a little disappointed that Levon Helm did not do more singing on his own songs. Singers did not do justice on some numbers such as "Tennessee Jedd" and "When I Go Away." They just did not have as much uummpphh as Levon's voice does. Nice variety in song selection though. The keyboard player had the best voice among singers. Loved "Bougeous Town!"

At the very end, I did have a few good cries. When Levon did sing "The Weight", I shed a fear tears because the storyline was very true to me. The day before I met up with a woman on the eastside of Milwaukee looking for a homeless shelter for herself and her son. She had to leave an abusive domestic violence situation. I could only refer her to the Pathfinders down North Avenue at least for her son. Otherwise, she was trying to get $$$$ for a bus ticket to Chicago. Also had some tears with the encore number. It was so beautiful and spirtual for a song one would here at a funeral.

Overall, there were times I really wanted to relocate to TENNESSEE or KENTUCKY since I've been tired of living in Milwaukee for almost 2 years now. "The only place I'd rather be though if really CHICAGO (sorry Levon.)" I just felt a kind of mellowness from this performance that I have not felt in a long while. Thanks for a different type of performance. Maybe, in a way, I might end up retiring down south some day.

Another note -- the dog coming out was really cute. How come he was not put out front and even incorporated into the show? He would have been a really nice down-home country feel to the show.

Levon Helm is a musical treasure who still exudes a joyful exuberance despite his age and outwardly frail appearance. The band is lead by Larry Campbell, an amazing talent, whom Levon has surrounded with an incredible cast of accomplished players and vocalists, including Levon's daughter, Amy. The range of music is as broad as the talent is deep. This show should not be missed!!

This was my 3rd Levon Helm Band concert in the past 3-4 years. This band sounds fantastic and is loaded with talent. Levon is just back from some undisclosed medical procedure. I suspect it had to do with his voice, as he did no speaking and very limited singing, with much less voice than last time I saw him. But his influence and inspiration is very evident - and his band puts on quite the show. Larry Campbell, band leader and music director, is the leader of this band. He is the pro's pro, a true class act who admires, supports and defers to Levon. Larry is apparently without ego, because he is a star that not too many people know about. Larry, as it was said about The Band in its heyday, is pretentiously unpretentious. I will catch this band any time I can!

ThIsmwas a power packed show my only disappointment was that Natalie did not interact later . Obviously she went home early which sent the message that she really did not care. That woman's voice however was amazing and I would love to see her again . I also knew that levonwas saving his voice for the higher suing ramblers on Saturday night and when I heard that he sounded so well there I felt a little cheated

What a terrific show Levon Helm did with his band at the Fillmore. First, Fillmore is a great place to see a show. Got their well after doors opened, enjoyed a nice meal at the bar, and was still able to negotiate our way throught the friendly crowd to get a spot front and center against the rail. Don't mind the standing GA when you can get this close. Levon and the band played a great set with lots of familiar songs, a few covers, and some with which I was not so familiar. Daughter Amy Helm has an amazing voice and is a joy to watch. What a treat when Levon came out from behind the drum kit (placed side stage so he could see the band, they could see him, and the crowd could see him as well). Levon was feeling frisky, and even did an obscene looking dance with the mandolin between his legs. Great fun, and can't wait to see Levon and the band again.
