Robbie, Bobby Charles and the Doc (playing his Gibson Byrdland) cut from The Last Waltz
look at Robbie’s face!
How come so many were left out completely from The Last Waltz?
Bobby Charles, the legendary Louisiana songwriter behind classics like "See You Later, Alligator" and "Walking to New Orleans," played a unique role in The Last Waltz, The Band’s historic farewell concert in 1976. While he took the stage to perform "Down South in New Orleans" with Dr. John, his performance was the only one cut from the final film, thought he ended up on the soundtrack.
Though excluded from the final edit, Bobby Charles' connection to The Band ran deep. He was a steady collaborator with Rick Danko, who played a key role in producing Charles' critically acclaimed 1972 self-titled album. Their partnership continued on Danko's 1977 solo album, where Charles contributed his signature blend of swampy grooves and soulful lyrics.
I loved Bobby Charles and can’t believe he was cut!?

Speaking of Bo Diddley?!
No, we were I swear! . . . . . .
The Preachers - Who Do You Love
White Vinyl LP or CD
Now whose version did I hear first?
Had to be Juicy Lucy here in the UK charts I think we all dug it and went out and bought it but I had though how amazing that the Doors should cover this much lesser known version little thinking the original was the master of Boasting pop and hoodoo roots, Bo Diddley! The Doors from the Absolutely live album and then the Band during The Last Waltz with their early compadre and band leader par excellence Ronny ‘The Hawk’ Hawkins but also their earlier cover too
Juicy Lucy - Who Do You Love
by the man who wrote it! Bo Diddley on the Joan Rivers show!
The Doors LIVE! - Absolutely Live!
The Band with Ronnie Hawkins - The Last Waltz : Who Do You Love!
