It was also released as the b-side to their single "Time to Kill," and proved more popular than the hit side, recognized by Capitol Records in its promotion kit for the single. The mix used for the single is disputed, as the Band had second thoughts about the work of initial engineer Todd Rundgren, and sent the tapes to be remixed by British engineer Glyn Johns. Most likely it was the Johns mixes used for both the album and the single.
"The Shape I'm In" explains that his significant other left him and then describes his night out partying after the breakup. The song discusses moving on from the relationship. Nichols told KMPS-FM that he considered it "a very Muscle Shoals kind of song". Co-writer Ben Hayslip told The Boot that the chorus came from his grandfather who said "I'm OK for the shape I'm in ..." when Hayslip asked him how he was. Hayslip said that he had the idea in his notebook for eight to ten years but never used it before. Co-writer Dallas Davidson told The Boot that the morning they wrote the song he was hungover and he had a napkin on his desk that had a girl's phone number on it.
Critical reception
The song has been met with positive reviews among critics. Kyle Ward of Roughstock gave it four stars and thought that the lyrics are "somewhat understated, and but quite effective" and said that the sparse production really "elevates the song because "the "distraction is minimal" Karlie Justus of Engine 145 gave it a thumbs-up, saying that the song has "loads of self-deprecating charm". Kevin John Coyne of Country Universe gave it an A, calling it a "classic country heartbreak theme, quite a few clever lines, and an altogether realistic account of a man begrudgingly coming to terms with the end of a relationship." He also calls it the best record George Strait hadn't recorded in a long time.
The band released their debut album, Gov't Mule, in 1995, and have since released an additional nine studio albums, plus numerous EPs and live releases. Gov't Mule has become a staple act at music festivals across North America, with both its members and frequent guests boasting members from other notable bands, adding various funk and blues rock elements to the band's sound.
Gov't Mule is the self-titled debut studio album by southern rockjam bandGov't Mule. The album was produced and mostly recorded live by Michael Barbiero in Bearsville Recording Studios with many tracks running into each other. "Mule" is still a concert favorite, and "Rockin' Horse" was later recorded by The Allman Brothers Band when Warren Haynes rejoined the group for the album Hittin' the Note.

I never liked that they shortened the songs so that the movie didn't last that long, or at least they could have given them as bonus material for the 40th anniversary

"The Band", well, almost! What a great performance. Might be one of their best live performances since the Last Waltz
The original DVD source was filled with noise and was very grayish. Many times a restoration work is a trade-off. There was this strange grey-black wave that went on the full performance. Only option was to make it dark as possible. Yes, some darker details got lost, but it's still I prefer this way. You can see the gray part at top left corner sometimes.

The Band - The Shape I'm In
from the album "Stage Fright"
published: 25 Jun 2014
The Band: "Shape I'm In". & Ronnie Hawkins: "Who Do You Love".
From the movie "The Last Waltz" ... I've got it on a VCR tape from a TV showing, then I bought the subsequent releases on commercial VHS tape / DVD, and now the Blu Ray edition. It's a bit sad watching it now that Richard, Rick and Levon are no longer with us, but it's a movie that captured a moment in time when "The Band" were about to split up, yet are seen here playing what might have been one of their finest performances. There might have been a fair bit of acrimony behind the scenes, but the film shows "The Band" preserved on film, and as a live music lover from a generation that hasn't much in the way of quality concert recordings ... I give thanks for this recording of The Thanksgiving Day Concert from 1976.

The Shape I'm In (The Band) ESPAÑOL
¡Hola! En el día de hoy les compartimos la letra en español de una de las canciones más legendarias de The Band: "The Shape I'm In".
La canción, escrita por Robbie Robertson, y cantada por Richard Manuel, con excelentes coros de Rick Danko y Levon Helm, es considerada como una de las mejores de la banda, aunque claro, esto es subjetivo.
"The Shape I'm In" gustó tanto, que fue incluida en la película "The Last Waltz", y fue interpretada por varias bandas como Gov't Mule, o incluso por el mismísimo Levon Helm con su grupo de músicos en 2008, en el Ryman Auditorium.

Audio: Removed the 60hz hum, which is really typical for bootleg videos. Removing hum gave it more clarity. Slight hiss removal. I couldn't remove all (well, I could have, but it would have made this concert sound tinny and metallic). I'm not a fan of hiss removal. Some EQ to make it more balanced.
I finally got a new PC. Some upgrades are still coming. Hopefully getting new videos more often. Make sure to subscribe!
