Levon Helm - Evangeline Lyrics

this song is for my couisin Arthur ………… because he was the captain

Excellent song and performance. Sheryl can harmonize and complement anyone with just the right amount of vocals. Even Leon the Icon.

I wish in my life the forces in the universe had brought us together. I so love this man. His talent. His intense love for music. I will always love him. Always.

The very best version of this song had Emmylou Harris . This one is good, but not near as good as the original with Emmylou! Levon Helm was a true artist and we miss him terribly!

What I wouldn't give for one of those kisses Levon! What a beauty

Levon was awesome, as is Larry Campbell!

Levon was one of the greatest for suure put his heart soule into it his music will last forever Just listen *****

Is there any instrument Larry can't play? Just asking.

Damn got a kiss from Sheryl too. Lucky bastard.

Sheryl looks good in that hat!🤠

She would look good in a potato sack.

It's amazingly evident how much Levon Loves the songs he sings. I wish he was still here, and Danko & Manuel.

He was the best. He drove The Band

Seeing Buddy Miller in the background, just smiling.

Pease&Love Brother!! ❤

Best Country Music Song ever, in my opinion

Simply enjoyable.

Thank you Levon for all the great music... Your soul had done what it came to do, learned what it came to learn, and then was free to leave....

Levon was running on fumes by this point, God bless his heart.

I was at this show. Tons of stars in the crowd. I usually love Sheryl Crow, but she messed this song up!

Sheryl hasn't got this one... God loves a trier.

er erwärmt unser herz für immer

How can we thank you Levon...you gave us *MUSIC* with beautiful tunes, your drums, vocals...everything. RIP...LOVE...***!!!

In the nearly 60 years I've been listening to rock & roll, I don't think I've ever seen anyone so universally loved by his fellow performers as Levon. It's heartwarming to see that love in this and the ramble concerts at his barn from his peers. RIP Levon.

One of my favorite YouTube vids.

Levon Helm a true inspiration - thanks for posting a lovely performance. Shame Ms Crow was a wee bitty under-rehearsed here!

I love you Levon, you have touched my life, and so many others. There will never be another like you. I'm so thankful I got to see you live at bonnaroo 2008. Rest in peace.

He was a great musician for sure. One of my favorites.

I feel like the chorus should’ve went “Sheryl Crow you’ve ruined this song cus Emmylou Harris is alot better singer than you”.

solid as oad, Levon.

This is awesome. His original sounds makes one feel like dancing and shouting. Loved his clear rocky voice that pushed the band to its best. It takes teamwork, right?

sad and happy, it wonderful to hear him in great voice again, so sad to miss him, richard and rick so many good memories thank you.

I've comented before, this is the band. Levon ya left to soon.

Who's on the fiddle please?

Larry camble

Beautiful

Not Emmy Lou but that's quite lovely.

Damn Levon, we sure as hell miss you brother.  You are no doubt jamming with Rick and Richard.

Gone but we will never forget your contribution to us.Thanks Levon.

Why we loved Levon Helm?????????????????

Nope! Sheryl Crow doesn't belong there...

Ok. Throat cancer....Yeah, gotcha sing like a deep throated angel. Send in the beautiful. talented singer to "accompany" me? yeah, i think I'll ousing her

sidemen are ?

Nope, not working.

if they come for his monument, I come for them

Bob Dylan

Awesome 👏😍

Just fabulous.

how about i just i love it

Woodstock NY, barnyard ramble 1975 , didn't get better

Levon was and still is one my FAVORITES!! Even after his tragic illness, he was ALWAYS on point (key)... hated seeing [hearing] Cheryl Crowe f up one of my favorites! (I can't sing but still could have done better than her...) EmmyLou, where WERE you? (smile) I live in NY (Hudson Valley, not far from Woodstock... best memories Midnight Ramble...)... Thank you Levon for some of the BEST memories of my life...

WHAT IS AMAZING CANCER STILL PULLS IT OFF

I miss me some Levon!

Love Levon

Sheryl truly screws up everything she does -- not an ounce of talent

God bless Levon A true American treasur

Saw Levon sing this at one of his "Midnight Rambles" in his barn in Woodstock, NY. It was on New Year's Eve 2006 or maybe 2007. Best NYE of my life.

Rick danko had a pretty good voice as well

One of a king guy, awesomely talented, lost him too soon, miss you and love you
LEVON!

He was a great singer RIP

I would like to have met Levon and to have spent one day with him. I believe that he would have done more to improve my outlook on life than I could have achieved in a lifetime. Sorry he's gone.

I love Levon. Always in my heart.

epic performance

This is ok. Tops will always be (for me, anyway) the version on the Last Waltz. I fell madly in love with Emmylou Harris that hasn't abated yet.

Levon is such a legend. It's sad to see with drugs and booze and living the hard life did to him. Looks over 80 and only in his late 60s

I don't agree. While he doesn't look healthy, he does look happy. Which one is more important.

He went down fast.....I miss him very very much........Rest in Peace Levon Helm........You were an ICON for sure...

最高です(^_−)−☆

Poor Sheryl forgot the lyrics; Amy, Levon's daughter, was cringing, but Levon was always a class act and Sheryl is a seasoned pro. (Sheryl's harmonies were great.)

Sheryl really is gorgeous. I ran into backstage at a Stones show, and she was so beautiful I couldn't even think of anything to say, "...uh, uh, the Stones are really great, aren't they?"

i'm saying this from memory because i'm not positive, but it seems like i read that she was not familiar with the song and this was a last minute deal. you trolls don't shit yourselves trying to make me a liar, it could have easily been another time but i think im right. besides i love fucking with the trolls

RIP Levon

I like Sheryl Crow, but Emmy Lou she's not!

Sam Austin yes she is

Sahnia92

i guess you must be right, i replied to you with all the gusto of a pissed of old man, telling you what i thought, and it disappeared , so i must be wrong. but i will say this, if they had wanted anyone else they would have asked, just like if anyone watching this video gave a shit what you thought or wanted to see you act like a 2 year old and repeat yourself over and over , they would have asked, just like im asking, are you that pathetic and immature. now here is an adult reaction to your pitiful stupidity, fuck you.

Levon still got it going on at his age

Hey guys, Sheryl had nothing to gain singing with a guy in his condition. But she did it.

Not feelin' it. Love Levon. Like Sheryl. Just not happenin.'

miss all of them Levon and Richard and the greatest of them all Rick Danko..always thought Sheryl Crow would have made a great female member of the band

Seeing as how The Band members were all playing together when Sheryl was born, that would have made it mighty tough on her. The touring would have worn her out! Sheryl is one of the coolest female artists ever, though..

brillant

Lavon was the best.

Bless you Levon

The great drummer and singer Levant Helm

+Geri Shearer Born Lavon Helm

Levon Helm last moments after throat cancer

Levon is definitely on the short list...

levons voice gave me chills, superb !

wow very beautiful

God Bless you Levon I only wish I was half the man you were a real giant of a man! RIP Mr Helm.

He still had a great voice, but he did not look well there.

+MrHeadbanger366 cancer

It would have been much better if Cheryl would have known the lyrics

Come on now! You got some nerve,commenting with a smart ass remark..
You should be ashamed of yourself!

+Nolan Pierce Smart ass remark ??? unless you are hearing impaired you should realize that she was incorrect in singing the lyrics...she is a professional...PRACTICE

+wes fos go for 1996 live version of this song.. mr levon with sheryl crow & emmylou harris. absolutely ms. sheryl crow knw d lyrics..

Maybe should learn how to spell her name first!!

Actually she sang the correct lyrics... Watch the last waltz.

Thank you Levon for giving us all the great music over the years, and Thank you brotherhamlet for bringing this video to the internet.

R.I.P Levon, see you on the other side, Cheryl Crow has always sang country. <3

Always knew Cheryl was a country girl

A good ol boy played a crazy ex CIA who knew what happened on that grassy knoll.. Fantastic man, great song writer, and a decent actor.. :)

He still has the shovel! R.I.P. Levon

+clips65 lol..great line..RIP Levon

Holy Doggity Dang. God's music !!! I'm born again . Seen the Light!!!

Damn I do love this music. Hard to beat this cut. Outstanding.

It's great man, seeing his mind all in it, trying to force his body to respond to his thoughts.  Everything is there, he's still got it, no matter what people say about whether he did or didn't.  The body disintegrates over time, no shit, but the mind can stay as pure as it wants (if it's in your control)....his mind was great up until the end.

Levon still could belt it out towards the end. I love his music and the Band.

Here's the fact. At the dawn of that decade (2000), everyone assumed the Band's last great voice had been silenced forever. And then there it was; older, craggier, rougher, but somehow as emotive and pure as ever, it was back. If Levon couldn't hit every note all the time, well dammit, he hit most of them, and each time he sang was just glorious, like seeing someone given a new lease on life.

sheryl crowe,larry and theresa cam belle stood up big time with Levon

I so appreciate you, Levon and Sheryl. You will live forever in my soul. Gratis, R. Ford-Williams, Grove City, Ohio

So many people have I helped.  So many people hate me.  Richard Ford-Williams

James, don't forget the man from Lubbock, Charles Hardin Holley...

levon will always and forever be an american icon right up there with elvis and jerry lee.

Fuck the jester. Buddy.

And Johnny CASH. They are both from the beautiful state of Arkansas./CF

beatifull

as Ill and old as he was he is still a great performer ! 

Darrell Turner i

it doesn't ever get any better than this. GODDAMN!

I Have to admit, Levon was the best singer of them. Usually he sat behind the drum kit. In the Band there was just two strict positions, Robbie always played guitar and Garth took care of the tangents.
