Not to be a nit but it was Autumn, as the concert occurred on Thanksiving day , complete with full Thanksgiving dinner being served to the audience.

What a soulful voice Richard had

His performance shattered all my previous standards of value. This short performance told me everything I needed to know about what truly powerful music is, what real soul music is. Dr. John said in an interview that at this point, the other performers had gathered to the side of the stage and some of them were in tears, and I was no different!

If there is a heaven I'd like to think that concerts like this happen every day.

I've heard this rendition a thousand times or more yet it still stands as an astounding vocal performance from two of the greats. Whatever the DNA was that allowed such great artists to floursh in the past has sadly truly gone forever. But maybe someone, some day, will find it in themselves to exlpore and be inspired perform such as this ...

If I don't hear Van's voice in heaven I'm not going.

My favorite track from “The Last Waltz”

Reminds me of first time I saw Van live. This grumpy little guy comes out on stage, who looks like he just woke up from his afternoon nap, and perhaps 20-minutes too early. Then - BOOM! - this big voice comes out of him.

I can see that there wasn't room for this in The Last Waltz (you couldn't sacrifice "Caravan") but the look of sheer delight on Rick Danko's face at simple zaniness of this really would have been great to see in the Final Cut.

Knowing this performance has thrown a wrench in my life plan. When I first saw this video 10 years ago, I thought I would have no regrets if I died now.

Best moment of the night, bar none. Y'all should've been there.

EVERY TIME I have an extra glass of wine at home, I listen to this song. I love Van the Man. But I listen because of Richard Manuel. I read that the camera ran out of film during The Last Waltz. Not sure I believe that. If you like this rendition of this song, look for more Richard Manuel.

According to Robbie in his autobiography, Testimony, Martin Scorsese and the film crew knew that the Panavision 35 mm cameras had to be reloaded. They had to make choices in advance on when to reload the cameras. I don't know if it went exactly according to plan. Of course, there were multiple cameras, too.

Agreed, Steve. This one (at least) should have been included in the Director's Cut edition. Classic example of what Van can do with an ordinary song. Did same later with "Send In The Clowns"; made it a Blues standard.

It is fantastic

Perhaps because Richard set the bar so high with his first note and then upstaged Van with his soaring vocals. Just notice how Van turns to Rick and Robbie but ignores Richard when the song ends.

Amazing.

You can hear some nice piano flourishes from John Simon near the end, and how about Howard Johnson's tuba draggin' that bottom? They don't come across as clearly on the official mix.

¡Buenisimo!

Long live Van the Man. Agreed this should have been prominently featured in the film. The better audio recordings of the track reveal an audience hanging on his every inflection. No white man has ever sung like Van Morrison.

Richard manuel sembra Ray charles.

The drunkenness in Manuel's voice, real or not, carries over into the backing vocals. All in counterpoint to Van's soaring solo. Then Van went on to sing the second best performance of the whole night (we all know who #1 is). I wish they'd done "Belfast Cowboy," too.

This has to be one of Van’s weakest, poorest and rotten songs and it does him no favours especially when he and the Band absolutely knock ‘ Caravan ‘ out of the park

MAYBE...Irish babies heard drunks screaming this crapola over their cribs? The REAL version is by Bing Crosby. Lovely!
