For the next several weeks, our regular "Crusty Clip of the Week" feature will be replaced with "Waltz Wednesdays," in which we'll be featuring some of our favorite moments from Martin Scorcese's classic rock n' roll film The Last Waltz. All mp3s featured in this column will be the versions from The Last Waltz.
What better way to kick things off than with the first song from the concert? "Up On Cripple Creek" is Levon Helm and The Band at their best-- a classic tune that mixes Robbie Robertson's songwriting with Helm's gruff, southern vocals.
Witness Levon Helm's singing-while-drumming skill and energy during the fill at 3:14.
