The Weight is one of the greatest songs ever written. Levon is a master. God bless him.

This is so breathtakingly amazing.Probably the best performance of this song ever recorded.That Trucks' solo just kills

[gpollak34]

What a joy! Rick and Richard are smiling from heaven. Long live Levon, and the ABB.

The feeling I get listening to this performance is the whole reason I listen to music to begin with.

I love seeing the smile on Derek and Warren when Taj walks up and starts singing. PRICELESS!!!

[MegaGum1]

I believe that ANYONE come from the great American musics, be it Jazz, Blues, Bluegrass, Church, Rock and Roll, will hear this and say to themselves "Yep, thats it. They got it right there."

[rotagen5]

this IS one amazing version of this song, so much talent.

@sartainja I love Levon too, but I'm pretty sure Robbie Robertson wrote this one.

Of course I have heard it zillion of times by now, it's just that I was very mesmerised by this performance when I wrote that comment.It doesn;t necessarily mean that it;s the best version out there but it surely is a special one

@vladamih This is great, and I'm Derek's biggest fan, but the version from the Last Waltz with the Staples is musical perfection. If you haven't heard it (which it seems you already have but you never know), do me a favor son and go keep ol' Levon company [and watch it haha].

Mix one part Beacon, six parts AB with Levon or so many other legends and what do you get, pure brilliant blissful blues, baby. Oh yeah. Moogis is truly a gift.
