Great to hear from youse guys!
@mashif: I saw the original lineup of Band in 1969, at the Berkeley Community Theater, a great sounding room. Their second album had just been released, an album that changed my life. I really relate to the statement the maker of the above video utters in the video: "The Band is really quite central to my conception of myself."
I had moved away from the SF Bay area just before The Last Waltz concert was announced (damnit!), but saw Levon again live at The House Of Blues in Hollywood sometime in the 2000’s. He was still recovering from his throat surgery, and wasn’t singing. But he had his daughter Amy along to sing on the tour, and a great band he had assembled. He was playing drums better than ever, and moved over to mandolin when Richie Hayward of Little Feat came up on stage to play on Levon’s drumset. Richie also played "pretty well". 
I have yet to hear Buddy Miller live, but have heard Steve Earle live a few times, including on the tour he did with The Del McCoury Band (also at The House Of Blues), a fantastic show. Steve and the band played their acoustic instruments and sang into a single mic, and sounded amazing. I've also heard Buddy's good pal Jim Lauderdale live a few times, most recently just a few months back. Jim's a great songwriter and singer. The first time I saw him onstage was when he was playing acoustic guitar and singing harmony with Lucinda Williams, on the Car Wheels On A Gravel Road tour. Playing drums was Jim Christie, fresh out of Dwight Yoakam's band.
