Ohhhhh you will love The Weight! One of the greatest songs ever written. If you can, check out the version from the last Waltz with the Staples singers!
There are a few songs/Videos I long to see and listen to when I'm in the mode. This is definately one of those! No mather what mode you're in before listening to this song.....you're happy afterworth.
Jesus Christ.... I LOVE Rick Danko, His verse is the greatest of anyone's. Not based on vocal ability alone. His bass playing, groove, and vocal articulation is flawless! Can't be touched. Not to mention, dude's TRULY Feeling it! Look at those moves. I believe a little bit of cocaine also added a little "Umph" to Danko's sheer Radness.
Man being born in 1970 I only got to know music through father and thank goodness he had great taste. I feel so fortunate to have this in my reprttroiur.
