I can't believe how many times I've wondered this particular question. Why, why why, do people thumbs down a bunch of people making music? Especially Levon Helm, a freakin icon. If you don't like it, go away.
Cause they are dumb asses. Lot of people don’t realize that Levon Helm had a Platinum Album in five different decades, one after he had throat cancer and lost his voice and retrain his voice.
Well, the page gives you the chance to vote. Sometimes it's ignorance, because I loved many of The Band's hit when I was growing up right behind them--I'm 73--but never "registered"
and cared for The Weight until UA-cam. Other times it's the person's mood. I was feeling so crappy before I listened to this that if you'd popped me up a song I half like and thought was
okay, I wasn't strong enough to give it a positive reaction. Jesus one time said, If you're not for me, you're against me. The soul is not Always ready to respond to goodness or upbeat energy.
I liked this piece as soon I played it and I always listen what words are sung and I favored this song by levon helm ...along with Rosanna Cash and the the rest supporting singers . Levon helm is singing what came true to one particular real individual,this is no joke I'm serious about the following first I am not no believer in coincidence is why I took song seriously about Carmen and the devil/lucifer walking side to side only it was not Carmen walking with it rather devil was walking with Carmen only that Carmen did not call it and for matter in no name of form. I do not joke of things not of this realm
@@carmenrivera5904 My Guru Yogananda says a "force of opposition" exists in us or with us until we learn completely to yield to the force of light or good. This light is our original true nature that we have forgotten or not followed well or lost track of due to the confusion of being in this material world. We want what is in the world--security, love, sex, control, success, revenge, etc--more than we wish to seek out the light. Until in time we learn that doesn't bring peace and happiness.
I myself like and enjoy this song + . Levon sings really of one person actually did what Levon says in this piece: Carmen and devil/satan walked side by side for three nights in a row
The door may have slammed shut on the 60's and 70' but the music will live on forever. My God the music that came out of that era. My God.
You can see Levon Helm loved performing.
Levon Helm was a national treasure.
I'm 51yo, I'm italian. The first time I watched The Big Chill I fell in love with this song and now watching mr.Helm singing and playing . . . I cried as a baby. RIP Levon Helm
So true
@ユウ probably italian people of a certain age with a certain taste for music. So . . . Not so many😊
Kudos to Levon for taking a verse despite having almost no voice left at all.
Levon I love you friend ,I think you're the best ,thank GOD for video's
Greatest... Levon!!! Larry Campbell has taken the torch up for the next generation! Larry ..amazing musician. Levon will never ever ever be forgotten!!!!!! Robbie who? SMH Rick Danko - Twilight one of my favorites!!! Levon was heart & soul of everything! Miss you and Rick!!! Watch over us!
Talent, friendship, joy, good timey music ... what we need badly right now. Wish you were still here, Levon.
Man I just smiled and cried through the whole thing. We miss you Levon.The weight feels pretty heavy right now during this pandemic but this lightened it for a few minutes. LOVE.
AMEN helps alot to see all the diff. ones thu the years.
I cried too... but these are tears of joy knowing that Levon is in a better place... Levon if you are there you rock, man!
Ha, you must be old as shit too. 60 in June. Rock on
i guess I'm kinda randomly asking but do anybody know a good place to watch newly released movies online?
@Cyrus Khalid flixportal xD
Undoubtedly one of the great American songs...when America was musical...ain't so musical today.....................damn.....POWERFUL RENDITION HERE....BROUGHT TEARS TO MY EYES....I was fortunate enough to see THE BAND more than a few times...thank God.
Levon will live forever - because they'll still be singing one of the great all-time songs hundreds of years from now. The Weight is timeless and iconic.
Levon Helms and Robbie Robertson both because Robbie wrote it and Levon did an amazing job lead singing it. Especially in The Last Waltz. Robbie said that was the best he had ever heard him sing it. They had been performing it 8 years at that time.
I named my last cat Levon, because as close as we could backtrack it he was born on April 19, the day Levon died in 2012. What a beautiful musician......
Levon must have known...... But he kept on smiling, and loving every moment. He's why I make my kids learn how to play musical instruments
Oh yes, since 2009 when the cancer first started spreading.
Fabulous. It's magically good.
I know Robertson wrote it, and a lot of people have covered it over the years, but this is Levon's song, and I believe everyone in that room knew that. What a treasure he was. I'm 63 and I can't think of another musician who was as loved as much as Levon was. God bless him.
Maybe Jerry Garcia, but I hear what your saying buckfan. I'm 65 and couldn't agree more.
Something about the way Levon and his band did this song...the perfect ending to one of his Rambles. Special.
yes he surely was....WHAT a voice...what a heart.!
I'm 70.... And Levon IS The Man
Well said man
As sad as it is to see/hear, I kinda like Levon's raspy withered vocals here. Like an old man telling a story of years gone by.
con. bombadil. yeah he sure had to work hard to get through. rip levon
Looks like a bunch of old friends having fun. Great version.
They are having fun... And they ain't snorting coke, like Last Waltz...
I waited with bated breath for Levon to sing and when he did at 2:49, a tear rolled down my cheek.
Levon! Such a great American icon! I can’t count the times I listen to this song and the band in particular! Just musicians playing and no auto tune!!
This stuff defined my generation..
God Bless Levon with his voice hurting still sang a verse.
Three things to remember about Levon -- his music, his magic and his world-brightening smile ...
My favorite vocalist all time. LEVON HELM raspy ass drummer.
The verse sung by Theresa and Levon can bring tears to your eyes.
It did
Mine too....and at 78 that don’t often happen!
The love that Theresa expressed to Levon there was overwhelming. And Levon was so happy to sing that verse with her. What a great version.
Dang boys, got tears in my eyes. Miss you and your music, Levon.
Peace, Brother.
One of the great songs xxx
You all did such a fabulous job. Fantastic. That's what it is all about. When we can share our gifts together. Don't get no better than that. Love you Rozanne
Somehow Levon never sung it better than here - and he sung it perfect every time.
Outstanding. Thanks for the music Levon. A life well lived.
Levon had more than money could ever buy, friends who loved him. RIP Levon, I pray you are singing in the Lords heavenly choir.
Levon and Teresa singing that verse was one of the most beautiful moments of music I have ever listened to and watched. The look on her face. She knew it was goodbye to a dear friend. He would soon be gettin back to Miss Annie...
Awesome Talent, every one of you Amen thanks for sharing (Johnny Depp keep your guitar with ya!)
You gotta love Levon. He was the heart and soul of the band called "The Band". I love the way he changes the lyrics every time he sings "The Weight", as if to just be Levon and maybe a poke at Robbie, for taking credit for writing all of the lyrics to the Band songs except for the ones that are expressly stated that was written by one of the other band members. RIP Levon, we will never forget.!
That was a tearjerker! Levon sure was one extremely cool dude right to the end. That was an awesome performance. Respect in Theresas eyes singing with him RIP LEVON HELM
What a great musician and gift to American music. Rest his soul.
There will never be another Levon Helm. My husband and I were so saddened at his passing in April of 2012. We had tickets to his upcoming show that was scheduled for May 2012 at the Ryman in Nashville. Oh to have heard the angel of music in the Mother Church of country music. Rest in Peace sweet Levon. You are definitely singing with the angels on high.
S.M. Your message is so on point. He was truly an American treasure. Too many of our heroes gone too soon. May he RIP
Its so sad that his great and original voice...one of the quintessential voices of American music..was damaged the way it was. Still everyone knows the impact it had...and thats why they continued to honor the man. But what a travesty that voice was taken. Thank God we have the recordings...and had Levon Helms the man for lil while.
That was incredibly sweet.
@@jimberlygridder183 Such a good phrase, and I spend my life working to make good phrases: "one of the quintessential voices of American music" Power in the tubes. Right there with Bing Crosby, Ella Fitzgerald, Johnny Cash, Paul Robeson, and 127 others.
Levon was and always will be our gift from GOD....
I MISS HIM SO VERY VERY MUCH BUT I KNOW HE’s already got a new band and they have wings and he does too. ❤️
i have played guitar since i was 10 and i am now 71 my daughter sings and plays when i see levon sing with his daughter i love singing with mine how more proud can a father be its more than you can believe
Boy the world gonna miss Levon. Unbelievable what he was able to do.
Happiness is playing with Levon. Love the man.
Admiration for a special group of people. This is as good as music gets.
One of my favorite songs of all times. Leon brought tears to my eyes, it was so beautiful the love & respect all had for him. ❤🎶🎵🎶
Levon a man with music running through every bit of his body, a warm and beautiful man. 🎶 ♥ 🏴
Every person on that stage that is jammin with Levon, should put that memory in their brain and appreciate what they got to do!!! He was definitely something special! I have a few tears actually.
I'm sure they didn't need your urging.
Neil Young said at The Last Waltz, "It's one of the pleasures of my life to be on this stage with these people tonight."
Does my heart good to see Levon kicking such ass so late in his life. Wonderful tribute to such an iconic song.♥️
I love Rosanne! Another great man we lost in her father.
Amazing gathering of talent, an not an ego in sight...... Todays musicians could sure take a lesson.
There a couple of miracles one is Levon Helm....Damn. I forgot the other one.
good one! :)
Levon was the soul of this song.
john prine
Rosanne's pop.
Beautiful. Somebody said in overstatement, but making a good point, no drummer should sing not named Levon Helm.
Such heart in the face of his personal tragedy. Rest in peace, dear Levon. You are missed and loved so much.
Levon was a joy
Wonderful, just wonderful.
Food for the heart.🙏❤🎶
Who enters the stage with a legend like Levon Helm with notes in their hand? The preceding female killed it and have to say the magic between her and Levon is one of the best performances I have ever seen. He gave everything he had in his frail body when she stepped forward and gave him a nod of respect. He gave her permission to sing and she stole the show without stealing the show.
It was a rhetorical question..
That girl is Roseann Cash.
Whoa, look at all these amazing artists sharing the stage. Jim Lauderdale on far right
.
Benmont Tench on piano made a lot of great music for years with Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers
Levon is totally wrapped up in his wonderful music
Levon is someone to emulate.
Jesus Man this was good they all were feeling it Levon was very ill then pretty much his last jam,Roseanne Cash still has it very nice so very nice!!
Yeah. To bad she couldn't be troubled to learn 1 single verse.
@@myphilippineamericanjourne4731 Oh boy, stop bitching and take it at face value, some things are better to be left alone!
I loved this !!!! RIP to an icon we will remember forever Levon Helm !!!!
Could the love of others have sustained him, Levon would have lived forever.
yup. Along John and June.
Love sustained as long as it did
Gave me goose bumps, Rosie.
Just superb.
Chill bumps at 5:00 when Levon's daughter takes the lead and sings with a verse with her dad. Whoo!
That is not Amy. It is Teresa Williams.
Kevin Helm, the absolute greatest not only musician, but hero to all. I'm sure God almighty is enjoying having him around.
Um, that's Levon, friend.
Such incredible talent at that gathering!
Great Sound and Great Band too. This music from the sixty-eighties is just amazing. Thank You Levon...
makes me cry heart and soul..........
midnight tears here...
I miss the '60s.
Wonderful!
Watching Amy and Levon singing together at the end. Very, very moving.
Amy isn't here.
sorry ... my bad ...
Interesting that Williams & Helm sing the last verse as a duet -- just like Danko & Helm always did. She's watching him closely,following the master's lead.
@@brucerobinson9321 Williams had tears in her eyes.
@@elizabethcoopers901 who is the woman who does duet with him - her being near tears as she sang induced mine.
The band !!! Awesome musiciens !!!
Loved and missed.
That's what I call talent loved watching these great musician's and THE BAND were one of my all time favourite bands I hope they up in heaven still playing those great, great songs of theirs LEGENDS OF REAL MUSIC.
Benmont Tench on piano. A Heartbreaker
Great version, dunno why so many people are hating on it
What serendipity! I loved the Civil Wars, Joy Williams and John Paul White, and there they are on the far left looking as joyful as only they could look while singing! I wish they were still making their beautiful music.
ZAP! This group captures the meaning of the song I understood at the time in '74 when I heard it repeated-in the right situation. It's the levels of coercion that EACH OF US imposes on our fellow man.
My mom and I use to sing this to each other goodness memories
thanks to all , for helping a brother
I think I have found the music I love the most. Up here in Northern Michigan, we are a hot bed for Americana talent... sometimes fused with rock or jazz or heavy blue grass or pop even..... Gosh I love this music!
NONE EVER BETTER : RIP LEVON
I absolutely love, love, love this video. I just came upon it on YT. Not only one of my all time favorite songs. But such a tribute to Levon, what I really love is the sincere smiles and respect on stage between the musicians. Thanks for posting this version of the Weight!
Levon Helm is fantastic, i was hooked after earing a quarter of this amazing song, sung by him. I had to play it over and over again..
This powerful song .. Amazing great musicians... so sad but also so happy.. I'm crying it's hard hitting .. don't want it to end xx love and peace to you .. Kevin Rip you were amazing 💖
Leven rest in peace x
Que belleza ...tremendos ...gracias de Argentina 🇦🇷✌️♥️👏 2021....
God Bless Levon ... May he be in All His Glory!!
Such a beautiful sound.
Don't see it mentioned here but the 2 back in the corner by the Gibson guitar sign on the wall are The Civil Wars John Paul White and Joy Williams.
Saw that too. An amazing duo. Hope to see them together again someday.
I cant believe I never saw this cut, brought me to tears. I miss those days....
What a beautiful thing...
Salve for the soul here in 2022! Miss Levon!
Damn good song! And a fine job the gent is doing on that Baldwin, Yup, music on your chosen instrument is what it is all about.
That's Benmont Tench. Tom Petty's wonderful keyboardist and a damn fine human.
Thanks for everything LEVON!
Perfect music, I'm a great fan of your work
Honour and Respekt for you all. Gemeinsam sind wir stark und erreichen was wir wollen

"The Band, Weight"
It's my youthful bitter, sweet & fole memories!
WOW what a talent treasure of friends who were obviously having a peak moment. This ONE goes in my SAVE file.
What a pleasure to effortlessly be part of a moment like this. Thanks for sharing.
I don't think as long as I live I'll ever forget those words. I hope to god I don't. I'm 15 now and every time I play this out I might not match em' to the album but I could...I more mix Levon's versions....."I picked up my bags, and went a-lookin' for a place to hide, that's when I saw Carmen and the devil walking side by side, I said hey Carmen...come on let's shake it down town." you get my drift...
stumbled on this, sure glad I did.... thank god for recording equipment!
a great performance, bless them all. negative remarks by people who cant play the radio
Teresa Williams ....gracias 🙏♥️☮️...te saludo de Argentina ....2021
Beautiful, beautiful!.............
