Levon Helm Band/Merlefest Ramble (5/5) | Nov 12, 2008 | sean sweeney | mendota vA US |

I have not heard the recording but I was at the show on 4/26/08 and what a show it was! I've been a huge Band fan for years although I never did get to see them. So, this was the highlight of my summer (next to my son being born, whom I named after Mr. Helm himself..his name is Landon Levon) and I believe the highlight of my life! Levon's drumming was flawless and his voice was like he never lost it! He is once again an inspiration to me being that I am a drummer,guitar player and singer. And what a band!! His daughter has an awesome voice as well as playing the guitar and the rest of the fellas too were incredible. I can't believe I never heard of these players before. Anyway, thanks for keeping our ears as well as our hearts filled with great music! Yours, Sean Sweeney |

Legend! (5/5) | Nov 29, 2008 | Bill Fleming | Greensboro NC US |
| I was at this show and had no idea that it had been released on cd until now!!! This was an awesome show and Levon was in rare form! I had the great pleasure of meeting him after the show and he signed my copy of "Modern Drummer" magazine in which he had recently appeared on the cover of. It is truly an early Christmas with the find.....! | ||||

Jubilation (5/5) | Apr 3, 2009 | Scott Hieber | NJ US |

What a terrific band with all the voices and instruments working so tightly together and still keeping the fresh, jsut friends flavor. And oh what the brass section does to heighten all these tunes. An eclectic blend of all the kinds of music that Levon loves, country, blues, rhythm & blues. . . -- a real tree with roots . Hard to say who has more fun at Levon helm concerts, the audience or Levon. It's a joy to hear the band and joy to what him having fun up there on stage. This CD is great capture of the recent concerts. And the sound/recording quality is very good, although I'd listen to it if it was pressed on graham crackers. |

This IS Levon Helm at his BEST (5/5) | Aug 28, 2009 | Joe Fox | Buffalo NY US |
| Except for one non Levon female vocal, I really love this CD. Levon is my favorite R 'n R drummer and has been for some 40 odd years! | ||||

Merlefest '08 (5/5) | Sep 22, 2009 | Ron Hamann | Saranac Lake Ne US |
| It's always in my rotation. One of the best Levon shows I've ever seen or heard and I've been tracking them since Big Pink came along and muted The Beatles. Thank you Levon, Amy, Larry, Theresa, et. al. Peace and Love, Ron | ||||
