The Weight was on the 1968 album "Music From Big Pink", so the 50th anniversary was last year. Oh well, maybe it took awhile to get this great video together.
The Weight-
Featuring Robbie Robertson / Playing For Change/ Song Around The World
Did I bring that video to your attention, or had you already seen it? In any event, I also enjoyed Neil Young's singing one of my favourite songs, "Helpless", backed up by The Band on that video.
When Neil Young unexpectedly showed up at the Mariposa Folk Festival when I was its President, and one of the scheduled performers gave up half his set so Neil could play, Neil asked me what song I wanted to hear him sing, and of course I told him "Helpless", which he then opened with.
I know my memory is fading these days, but I DO Recall that when I watched that video (it is accessible here) I knew how you felt about Robbie, so I sent you a message about the video, asking if you had seen it. Perhaps you had back then, but I did direct my comment to you for that reason.
Another one that originated on Music From Big Pink
I SHALL BE RELEASED - Bob Dylan and The Band 1976
Back in "those" days, Music From Big Pink was one of my albums that I listened to more than most others.
What an amazing video. Robbie Robertson and the Band are one of my all-time favorite groups.
After The Band broke up Robertson went on to a very successful solo career.
Great find JR...Well done.
The original ''The Band'' from the Last Waltz 1978.
Bump
This is one of the very best music videos I've ever seen.
Hopefully, more members will click on and view it.

I think that you should be addressing JR. He posted that video although I have seen it before Buzz.
Great story about Neil Young.

LOL, my memory isn't what it used to me. I remember that I think..What were we talking about again?
I loved The Band. They were awesome.
