I agree that neither Rick nor Richard sound their best on The Last Waltz, but Rick sounds incredible on the studio version. I have heard that Robbie often took credit for writing songs that he didn't actually write. Either way, this is a beautiful song about losing someone and knowing that you'll never see them again, but you still can't get over them and move on with your life.
@TheDuellist Robbie never took credit for songs he didn't write. Even Levon didn't say that, Levon thought he should have gotten more credit because he (and the others) helped with the arrangements. However, whenever one of them wrote or co-wrote a song they were properly credited. Besides they all got 20 percent of the publishing rights.
