Such a great video!

Thanks for posting this cover of this great old classic. The sheet music for the piano part for The Band's "The Weight" - which was played by Garth Hudson - can be found at manymidi.com/sheetmusic.htm - a note-for-note transcription.

Nazareth took their name from this song

[grievousangel09]

vanilla...

[padisio]

in the light!!!!! everybody need a LIGHT!!!!!

[chevick]

Some PPL think just cause it doesn't sound like the record, it mustn't be any good. Theres nothing wrong with shakin it up a bit. This is good stuff.

[hootfish]

your crazy this is very good

[TheBirdmanP]

Yikes! .... at least they covered a fresh track.

[GDguitarplayer]

Donovan Frankenfurter? Very cool tune! Thank you!

[vjsurfandmusic]

ummm they should not do this song

[tombonomy]

that was just...  terrible!

[BlackCatCadillac]

so many great artists have covered this song.

i just watched Jack White, The Edge, and Jimmy Page cover it on "It May Get Loud."

The Last Waltz has influenced generations.

[NearlyNormalSteve]

Great job by these guys. Love the section around 6:00.

[speakercoilmusic]

I agree the Last Waltz version is sick... The Band was ROCK solid during that whole show... I mean like DAMN.

I just did a cover of this tune... Would love some feedback if anyone is interested in checking it out. It's on my channel page.

[NearlyNormalSteve]

I was at the Last Waltz and the live version there is the best version I ever heard them do, and I saw them a few times. Cheryl Crow had a Starbucks album of favorite songs and it had the live version on it.

[barnabywild59]

The Last Waltz version is still the best. The only thing missing is us on backing vocals!

[Quisite]

Cant the ppl shut up in the video? Seriously, ppl talk too much during concerts! :P

[Megho86]

beautiful

[AnAcidRevolution]

when i saw The Dead in Denver this last May they played this song acoustic, it was epic. And on that car ride was the first time i had ever heard ALO and instantly fell in love. this is great :]

[forwardmotion22]

[chaseisstoned]

GJ~ Another great video here, I really dig your edit style on this one a lot. Thanks for sharing.

[00BlueMonday]

The harmonies and stuff sound awesome, such a shame the performance is bad quality.

[LarryNird]

the performance is bad quality? what do you want....choreographed dancing and wardrobe changes after each verse???

[00BlueMonday]

Hahaha, no, my bad. I meant the sound quality. From this clip. Donavon live is just great!

[Quisite]
