There is an unbelievably bad cover-version of this by german singer Juliane Werding, called "Am Tag als Conny Kramer starb". She turned the lyrics into the story of a young man who smoked pot, took acid and died a lonely death in the end. This was a HUGE hit in Germany in the early 70s (JW's biggest hit, actually) - you can find it on Youtube, if you dare. I'm afraid to submit it...

memories..................... good stuff man-felt good!

I love watching Levon performing this song, so much energy in his playing and feeling in his singing!

This is from the fantastic concert film "The Last Waltz".
