When I Paint My Masterpiece

Oh, the streets of Rome are filled with rubble

Ancient footprints are everywhere

You can almost think that you're seein' double

On a cold, dark night on the Spanish Stairs

Got to hurry on back to my hotel room

Where I've got me a date with Botticelli's niece

She promised that she'd be right there with me

When I paint my masterpiece

Oh, the hours I've spent inside the Coliseum

Dodging lions and wastin' time

Oh, those mighty kings of the jungle, I could hardly stand to see 'em

Yes, it sure has been a long, hard climb

Train wheels runnin' through the back of my memory

When I ran on the hilltop following a pack of wild geese

Someday, everything is gonna be smooth like a rhapsody

When I paint my masterpiece

Sailin' round the world in a dirty gondola

Oh, to be back in the land of Coca-Cola!

I left Rome and landed in Brussels

On a plane ride so bumpy that I almost cried

Clergymen in uniform and young girls pullin' muscles

Everyone was there to greet me when I stepped inside

Newspapermen eating candy

Had to be held down by big police

Someday, everything is gonna be diff'rent

When I paint my masterpiece

The Johnny Winter video you have on your playlist is not from the 30th anniversary concert. Not by a longshot!

Robbie and Garth are still alive. Robbie never played again with the rest of the Band. Garth I'm not sure about. Easy to forget a man who seldom spoke, he just was the "Professor". Not even in "The Last Waltz" he said that much. But what the rest of the Band said about him was important. One of the guys said something like this: " Ronnie (Hawkins) and Bob (Dylan) had strong believes in them selves. We had Garth"

this performance literally brings me to tears, it's that good, that moving......much of this concert is emotionally riveting. Hard to explain.

Levon has one of the greatest voices ever. One of my favorite singers.......along with Sam Cooke, Jackie Wilson, Dinah Washington, Bob Dylan, Donald Fagen, Ella, Jimmy Scott, Marvin Gaye, Donny Hathaway, Johnny Hartman, Aretha.

The day the music died is when these two legends left the stage and may they both RIP

Levon and Rick. The grace and charm and selflessness as they swap between lead and harmony... living is hard without these two on Earth

I bought this 30th Anniversary CD just for this song. It was worth it. So great. Rest in Peace Richard, Rick, and Levon.
