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.
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.
