By Bo Diddley, not Robbie Robertson, but this goes to Robbie's roots. He got his big break playing as a teenager with Canadian rockabilly singer Ronnie Hawkins and it's where he met the other musicians who would go on to form The Hawks and then become The Band. From The Last Waltz, The Band's final concert.
The Band is clearly having a lot of fun with Ronnie and you can see what made Hawkins a first class showman. I love the end when Ronnie puts his hands on his hips, looks with pride at what his proteges have accomplished and then struts off the stage.
