Remembering Levon Helm May 26, 1940 - April 19, 2012 In 1989 The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band hosted their Will The Circle Be Unbroken concert at Red Rocks. Among the guests were Chris Hillman, Tracy Nelson, Bruce Hornsby, The New Grass Revival, John Denver, Jimmy Martin, Levon Helm, John Hiatt, and many others. The Dirt Band played a set and spent the rest of the evening backing up the other artists on their contributions to the Circle albums and also their own hits.
When the various artists took the stage for their sets, people were milling around back stage and a few would stop and listen to their favorite songs. When John Denver took the stage, a magical thing happened. Everything back stage stopped and almost the entire cast came out to listen to John. There was total silence except for the voice of John and The NGDB. John closed with Country Roads and there was a choir of at least 50 voices standing behind the band singing along. At first I was not even paying attention to who was standing at my left shoulder. But when the choir (including me) joined in with John, I realized I was sharing the moment with Levon Helm. So we sang together, or maybe we just sang at the same time, doing harmonies with everyone else and John Denver with The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. It is one of the treasured moments of my life. We had spoken briefly earlier in the day. Later that night, back at the hotel, I was talking with the late Vassar Clements and someone wanted a photo op with Vassar and Levon. Levon came up to me, put his arm around my shoulder and introduced himself as he shook my hand. He apologized for having interrupted me a couple of times earlier in the day and for interrupting again, took Vassar away for the photo and then brought him back so we could continue our conversation. What a treat. Somehow, over the years I have been fortunate enough to be in some pretty memorable spaces. Almost 20 years earlier, I was standing back stage at another John Denver concert and singing harmonies to Country Roads with Helen Reddy. After singing with Levon, I felt like I had graduated. Having him put his arm around me later that evening was my diploma. |
