Kinda? Kinda an understatement:) One of the best songs by one of the best and most underrated bands of the 60’s 70’s and early 80’s. Love me some band. RIP Rich, Rick and Levon, you made sweet music.
My top very subjective 5 songs:
1. Makes no Differnce
2. The Weight
3. The Night They Drove old Dixie Down
4. Rag Mama Rag
5. The Springsteen cover Atlantic City.
Agree, The Last Waltz is a must see classic. IIRC the last time The Band played The Weight as a group was in this movie/concert. Pops and Mavis Staples absolutely pull every ounce of southern soul out of the song and lyrics in this collaboration. One of the classic songs that have a spiritual way of harmonizing cultures from different musical backgroungs. Not many songs can do this like The Weight.
Every single beer brewing session I have, The Last Waltz is playing on the back wall TV on repeat.
Outstanding! Thanks for posting.
