The Band are a great band, and so much (especially the first three) of their albums are great music that they wrote themselves. Classics. Icons. Still, what I love about their performance of what was originally “Baby Don’t You Do It” (Marvin Gaye 1964) is the way in which the performance is at once crisp, technically great, produced beautifully, but also sounds so spontaneous and unrehearsed. They manage to capture a feeling in the song’s lyrics of plaintive despair purely with the way it’s played and sung. And it’s a great song.
