"By the time The Band did The Last Waltz, the chemistry had changed, and it wasn't a thrill anymore to live that studio kind of life"

In this quote, Levon Helm is reflecting on the experience of being in The Band during their final performance, The Last Waltz. He describes that by this point, the vibrant within the group had actually shifted and it was no longer as interesting or satisfying to live the way of life of continuously remaining in the studio. This could suggest that the band members had actually grown tired of the extreme and demanding nature of their work, or that there were stress and conflicts within the group. In general, Helm's words communicate a sense of fond memories and possibly a tip of dissatisfaction in the modifications that had happened within the band.
