zero Posted December 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 If you scroll down on this page from the Band's website you'll find the best version of it I've heard (Rick Danko solo show at Dylan's Cafe, 18 Dec 1987, Washington, DC). It's a Robbie Robertson penned tune and his version is played on the radio this time of year. Definitely give it a listen today.That was a sad time for Rick, one of many, but there is hope in it as there is for us all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
