Levon Helm Ramble At The Ryman (nsc)
Jul 31^st, 2009 at 3:14pm

From www.levonhelm.com -

Levon Helm has, since 2004, hosted evenings of music at his home studio in Woodstock, New York, that have come to be known as "The Midnight Ramble." On September 17, 2008, Helm took the Midnight Ramble on the road to the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, where — accompanied by such luminaries as Buddy Miller, John Hiatt, Sheryl Crow and Sam Bush — the Levon Helm Band gave birth to a performance that will live for the ages.

The special premieres August 1 and airs throughout August 2009 on most PBS stations. Check local listings for dates and times in your area at pbs.org

A couple of tasty samples:

'Ophelia'

'The Weight'

His chops may not be quite what they used to be, but still pretty good - in his prime, very few white singers to touch him, in my book.

Hi mojomanny,

No phish.... I've still not gotten through their stuff I recently purchased....Undermind and Roundroom.

I'm also skipping KOL at M/W, I prefer to see them at a more intimate venue.

I think the tour kicks off in Maryland or DC. I believe the 1st night with Levon opening is in either Baltimore or Atlantic City they typically do the 9:30 Club round your way

Hey Sway,

I saw solo Chris Robinsin at 9:30 club a few years ago. He was talking politics, and I said "hey, our mayor smokes crack," which made Chris crack up.

Btw, you're correct about BC playing B/more---
