2012 OFFICIAL Americana Awards 'The Weight'

[reneepatterson]

I am just in love with Brittany Howard's voice. Everyone sounds perfect. And Bonnie oh Bonnie...

[philkatauskas]

I'm 75 and I can't count the number of times I've listened to this version.

[goodguy]

Ms. Bonnie still sounds like she did back in the day. Such a strong voice

[custardflan]

Love how Bonnie and Emmy Lou give each other a hug as the music starts.

[montypeterson]

Is there anybody cooler than Bonnie on stage with a group of greats? Always grins and waits her turn, then KILLS it! Love her!

[davidparnell]

Bonnie Raitt gives a volume to this life so rare in its soul...notes expressed like none other than angels in sincerity and heart.

[kennedydewitt]

Bonnie is stunning and that voice of hers gives me chills !

[joegiotta]

I love most of the people on this stage. Many of them I am personally close with. The musicality is palpable. But, without doubt, Miss Bonnie is the one that literally brings tears to my eyes every time I hear her. I love you, B.

[Wacbot]

I've heard all my life of how beautiful Emmylou Harris is. She truly is, and has class too. My thanks to all of them for this fine gathering that they did! Bonnie Raitt too! She's so good.

[johnpatify]

WOW! And the look on John Hiatt's face while watching Brittany Howard sing is awesome. She did great with all those veterans up on stage

[derek]

When bonnie Raitt squares up on the microphone like that hold on to your seat!

[richdiodato]

They’re all good.., then there’s Bonnie..,

[nuggetmcgraw]

I have watched this so many times, and I still think it is one of the best performances I have ever seen. Each artist brings a unique flavour to their part, but Bonnie Raitt has a voice that just soars above the rest.

My name is AnnaLeigh, after this song. This means so much to me. Thank you, Levon.

[georgeflutey]

what an awesome tribute to Levon. That was one hell of a performance!!

[jimrebr]

My husband and I took our oldest son to see Nitty Gritty Dirt Band October 2012, they played this at the end combined with Will The Circle Be Unbroken, we were in the third row, center, everyone was on their feet singing along and tears rolled down our cheeks, Tristan included, he loves Levon, of course!!❤❤❤❤ This is a wonderful tribute, love everyone on that stage and yes, recognized Brittany immediately as well as everyone else of course!! Bravo 👏

[dthebassman]

They all sing and play the hell out of this song. One of the best all-star performances of this song. The Weight is timeless anyway.

[waitingaliens]

What an honor to be a part of that ensemble.

[ChrisB]

wow not seen this before. Fantastic that Richard thompson is recognised in this company. So under-rated here in the UK. And, when i first heard Brittany Howard, I thought how great she would sound on this song. During her solo you can see the warmth and admiration in the eyes of the older guys in the band. To have been part of that song's creation 50 years ago and hear it being delivered again like that must bring a new level of enjoyment and meaning.
