Bruce Springsteen - The Weight (Prudential Center, Newark, NJ, 2012-05-02) - Multicam, dubbed. 

I wouldn't worry too much about Robbie. He died rich, while his "brothers" died broke. Robbie took 51% of the Royalties and his Lawyer, Albert Grossman, took 49%. This is what he did to Janis Joplin, from Wikipedia: "When Grossman signed Janis Joplin and her four bandmates from Big Brother and the Holding Company in 1967, he told them he would not tolerate any intravenous drug use, and all five agreed to abide by the rule. When he discovered in the spring of 1969 that Joplin was injecting drugs anyway, he did not confront her. Instead, in June 1969 he took out a life insurance policy guaranteeing him $200,000 in the event she died in an accident.[8] His yearly premium was $3,500.[8]"

@@richardredseal3993 According to Barney Hoskyns biography of The Band they ALL made a lot of money. Some wasted it on drugs and bad money management. Besides that Levon did not die broke, and Robbie made a lot of money after The Band, composing music scores for Scorsese's movies. I love all of them, and I'm not being judgmental, I especially love Rick, but it was not Robbie's fault if they ended up broke.

@@hannejeppesen1809 it’s about the ROYALTIES and Treachery. Robbie was a Liar and a Thief. His Autobiography was a work of Fiction.

@@richardredseal3993 Barney Hoskyns biography of The Band gives a much more balanced view, it is critical of Robbie, but fair, he was not perfect, none of them were, and Levon certainly glossed over the truth about his own shortcoming and addiction in his book.

I think they are even singing the harmonies in the chorus. And that is not so easy to do.

You know how important you are it Bruce does a tribute to you?? Wow

Brenda Wombough Bruce is known for the "what does that sign says" or "please play this song" sign, and then perform the number

thanks

Wow, thanks for that bit of the story. Explains the tingling performance. Incredible.

Brenda Wombough I imagine that emotion!!!

Wonderful comment and a wonderful moment

That first chorus made me cry.

He has a teleprompter on stage for lyrics. He's used one for years.

@@krog21 ah but come on? It's still very impressive. It's not as if he's glued to it.

indeed

The Man's Name Was Levon. Have Enough Respect To Get It Right.

@@rodneyhood2269 And you shouldn't capitalise every letter in a sentence but we can all make mistakes, right?

Unfortunately there are plenty of stupid people out there . . . . . 🌷

I Love My Man...thank You Bruce and Band for bringing that to my Realization !! Long Live Music God Loves It

Danko, Emanuel and Helm were the Band ... BUT Robbie Robertson writ all the music! Rarely acknowledged as such. Of course, the Band had the 3 most unique voices ... the Band could have done without Garth and Robbie but not Robbie's Songs!

@@Psychiatrick rude to say the band could have done without them, I think not

@@Rilez616 I sa'yed they could have done without Robbie and Garth as front men but Robbie was the poet ... that is pert near all he had as the others were very tight ... nonetheless what you sea is what you get .... also they are billed as "Americana" when they were "Canadiana" except for Lavon at the Helm ... LOL My very first album was "Tommy" by the Who ... my second was the Band's Brown Album ... I wus 13 at the time ...

@@Psychiatrick are you kidding? Garth was the secret ingredient.

+Mark Phillips So true

Yea yea !! Awesome !!

+BJ Ethier That song gives me a tear in the eye at the best of times! This was marvellous!

love it !!!

Madrugada

The goosbumps tell it all......

Erik Stekelenburg Several elements work together to make this great. Bruce, audience, E-Street Band, Levon's memory...it's a lovely moment.

Please keep in mind that this song was not rehearsed or planned. It was performed as a sign request partway through the show.

Richard

And it is a really haunting version...the reconstituted Band made it a signature song during their final years. It was as good as anything that Robbie had written, in my opinion.

Information i like both

categorically untrue. Springsteen's versions sound nothing like The Band's. Bruce's live versions with the E Street Band have been largely unchanged since the song was first first performed in 1984. 1984 version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MAZqy2AmUmM.html 2016 version ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Y1pZjyJyAIQ.html

It was actually the Band the re-recorded it;

What show are you talking about from 08, just out of curiosity

Not nearly all covers of course but the Spotify playlist/album Songs Under Cover is a pretty nice compilation over covers taken from the various official live releases. open.spotify.com/album/6fFzRb5gNtSZzR3I2aSLwR?si=TSgpoFH5SBCKipyRNqhevQ

@@ShabbyDogRCR i ve seen and heard that it is pretty nice
