Levon Helm Tickets

I was a little disappointed that Levon Helm did not do more singing on his own songs. Singers did not do justice on some numbers such as "Tennessee Jedd" and "When I Go Away." They just did not have as much uummpphh as Levon's voice does. Nice variety in song selection though. The keyboard player had the best voice among singers. Loved "Bougeous Town!" At the very end, I did have a few good cries. When Levon did sing "The Weight", I shed a fear tears because the storyline was very true to me. The day before I met up with a woman on the eastside of Milwaukee looking for a homeless shelter for herself and her son. She had to leave an abusive domestic violence situation. I could only refer her to the Pathfinders down North Avenue at least for her son. Otherwise, she was trying to get $$$$ for a bus ticket to Chicago. Also had some tears with the encore number. It was so beautiful and spirtual for a song one would here at a funeral. Overall, there were times I really wanted to relocate to TENNESSEE or KENTUCKY since I've been tired of living in Milwaukee for almost 2 years now. "The only place I'd rather be though if really CHICAGO (sorry Levon.)" I just felt a kind of mellowness from this performance that I have not felt in a long while. Thanks for a different type of performance. Maybe, in a way, I might end up retiring down south some day. Another note -- the dog coming out was really cute. How come he was not put out front and even incorporated into the show? He would have been a really nice down-home country feel to the show.

Levon Helm is a musical treasure who still exudes a joyful exuberance despite his age and outwardly frail appearance. The band is lead by Larry Campbell, an amazing talent, whom Levon has surrounded with an incredible cast of accomplished players and vocalists, including Levon's daughter, Amy. The range of music is as broad as the talent is deep. This show should not be missed!!

This was my 3rd Levon Helm Band concert in the past 3-4 years. This band sounds fantastic and is loaded with talent. Levon is just back from some undisclosed medical procedure. I suspect it had to do with his voice, as he did no speaking and very limited singing, with much less voice than last time I saw him. But his influence and inspiration is very evident - and his band puts on quite the show. Larry Campbell, band leader and music director, is the leader of this band. He is the pro's pro, a true class act who admires, supports and defers to Levon. Larry is apparently without ego, because he is a star that not too many people know about. Larry, as it was said about The Band in its heyday, is pretentiously unpretentious. I will catch this band any time I can!

I thought that this was a very entertaining show featuring one of the icons from The Band. The ensemble was incredibly tight and well rehearsed. Each of the performers were very talented. The selection of songs was well paced and diverse.

Excellent show & great way to give back to Hudson Valley residents hit by Irene & Lee.

great show. Could have used a little more Levon. horns were great.

As always, Levon's shows are the best. Gotta love Natalie. An awesome evening.

ThIsmwas a power packed show my only disappointment was that Natalie did not interact later . Obviously she went home early which sent the message that she really did not care. That woman's voice however was amazing and I would love to see her again . I also knew that levonwas saving his voice for the higher suing ramblers on Saturday night and when I heard that he sounded so well there I felt a little cheated

in spite of the the surprise guests, there was disappointment in not hearing more songs from the band days. and the miserable weather did not add to the mood either.

What could be better than a concert in Central Park, NY!!! Especially by a band led by Levon Helm and Larry Campbell. The opening act by EmmyLou Harris was great. She still has an amazing voice. At the end of Levon's show, EmmyLou came out on stage to join the band with David Bromberg, Shawn Colvin and Joan Osborne - fantastic.

Emmylou Harris and Levon Helm gave a stellar performance Monday night. The rain came pouring down, but nobody seemed to mind as Harris and Helm joined forces to sing, "Evangeline," to a happily drenched crowd in NYC's Central Park. They left me wanting more! PLEASE come back soon.

It was a Very Hot & Humid night in Cntral Park. Emmylou Harris Was great! Unfortunately, Levon's voice was in a rough way. After all he's been through,he can still play those drum's, but his voice is not what it once was. That being said,Levon's Band was teriffic. He had a lot of help with the vocal's. David Bromberg was a very nice surprise! And the Grateful Dead's "Attic's of my Life" was a definately a highlite! All in All a good show. Take care of that voice Levon!

This was outstanding, great artist, great performances. You can feel the performers were having a good time and reached out to the audience. The musicianship was outstanding. I loved it. The end with all onstage including Bromberg, Emmylou, and all the guests was a joy

missed the show due to thunderstorms in the forecast

This was an excellent concert (even in the rain!) Although Levon can hardly sing anymore the rest of his band fills in perfectly. Amy Helm, pregnant and all, had an incredible voice! All the musicians were terrific!!

The show should have been called Emmylou Harris with special guest Levon Helm as there were only 3 "The Band" songs played.

The night was hot and steamy. It rained on us, but felt good. The rain stopped, we stayed and had a great time. Levon (after surgery), his voice is trying to sing, but he was straining. He only sang 2 songs. His daughter ( ready to drop the baby) has a golden voice. The band was fantastic. Emmylou sang at the end with them after her solo appearance. A great show. Wish it was longer. Emmylou played about an hour, and Levon played about 1 1/2 hrs. Gate opened at 5, first player at 6, Emmylou on at 7, Levon on at 8:20. Need more food vendors. 3 for all that crowd was too long a wait. You had plenty of drinks though, good call for all that heat!

Hayes was killer cool. Emmylou the reigning Queen.. And the true genius Levon Helm !!

The Levon Helm band put on a great show! Levon's band had about 15 pieces, including a horn section with Howard Johnson on tuba. The rain held off almost to the end of the show, but most people put up umbrellas or put on ponchos. The lightning was a little scarry, but it didn't strike close enough to stop the show. Levon's daughter Amie, who is very pregnant, sang backup and lead vocals for most of the show. Levon has had throat cancer, and his voice is not what it used to be, but he did sing a few songs. His drummiong was as good as ever.

I've seen Levon and his "Family" many times but the show at Summerstage was just unbelievable. And with Hayes and Emmylou starting off...it wasn't just a warm up...it was the beginning of 4+ hours of amazing music. It's always extra special to see the performers from Ollabelle with Levon. As a side, Tony Leone fits in so well with the style of music. He is truly one of the premier drummers around. Would have liked to see Fiona up there also but she was attending to her beautiful child during the show. And Theresa Williams is just so passionate you can't help but get lost in the moment. Larry as always is the humble leader of great performers. It was great seeing Chris Bergson and his lovely wife Kate at the show. And blessings to Amy with her second little one soon to join the family. Thanks go out to Levon for years of truly wonderful American music.
