The Last Waltz. When Mavis Staples sings her verse, you will get chills. Absolutely spiritual.

[curtismarsh]

Martin Scorsese's award-winning movie featuring the Band's last concert in the Last Waltz is a classic. This song with the Staples family is the version to watch from The Last Waltz. The concert featured the Band, Joni Mitchell, Neal Young, Bob Dylan and so many more.

Huge thanks for the amazing reaction video to our Song Around The World version of "The Weight"! 🙏🎶 We appreciate your support and are thrilled that you connected with the music. Keep spreading the love! 🌍✨

[CathyWestcott]

I am 71 and have been blessed to have had all the best music in my life😎

The band's name "The Band" was what they were called when they backed Dylan. Primarily a Canadian band with only one American on it, the drummer, Levon Helm. This group has a long and celebrated history in Rock music. Enjoy the jurney.

This could be a deep rabbitt hole. The Band is worth the time. "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" A great song, but there are others. "It makes no difference" is also a great one.

[donaldriddle]

My friend, you should definitely go down this rabbit hole of Playing for Change. There is so much great music.

[mikegravelle]

A thanksgiving tradition for me for 30 years at least is watching THE LAST WALTZ over and over. The band was breaking apart from the inside with addiction feeding the fire. Besides all the cameos check out the jam session after the show on the dvd, YOU WON'T REGRET IT!

[johndavids]

Boiled down this is a song about faith, but not in a deity, but of faith and the common fellowship of all men and women. You can see that this song crossed all boundaries and I, having seen this video several time still tear up every time I see it. It shows the when we want we can all do beautiful things. My father, long since passed (I am 75) once told me, "Great things are possible as long as nobody cares who gets the credit".

[ronniecollins]

Levon Helm is someone you really need to listen to. And learn what an amazing man he was. The Band is one of my favorite groups. The Last Waltz one of my favorite movies and albums.

[DocRock]

The definitive version of this song is from the concert movie The Last Waltz by The Band, which features The Staple Singers, and was one of Robert Scorsese's first films as a director.

[DonavanDell]

Lucas Nelson that is Willie’s son! You need to check him out! And The Last Waltz version of this song with The Band and The Staples it’s incredible!

[leekarr]

Playing For Change is an amazing organization. I can never get enough of their collaboration music videos. So many incredible musicians from across the globe. I'm a monthly donor. You can find about 80 videos on YouTube. Much fun watching your reation to this!

[gunboatwillie]

Playing for Change is, by far, one of the most amazing musical experiences. To see people from all over the world get together and show us all that Music, joins us all, in spirit and in heart.

[SusannahPerri]

OMG, the original from 1967 is one of the most iconic, classic songs! I can’t believe you’ve never heard it! Please look for old videos of The Band. ❤

[MikeM]

I am always amazed at your channel, which I truly enjoy, (and others), that have never before heard these songs. Or artists. The music of the mid/late '60's to the late '70's was by far the best the world will ever know. These songs had meaning, real meaning...anti (Viet Nam) war, anti establishment ... pro peace and love...pro brotherhood...It was by far the best time to be alive in your teens and 20's. Muscle cars were a thing; a thing you worked on in your own garage then went out to race someone on a Sat it was hot "chicks" in short shorts, go go boots, mini skirts and halter tops...it was Woodstock every day on your radio, and in your life. No cell phones, no internet...most people were in shape because we were outside more than inside...it was making love to that "brown eyed girl behind the stadium"...or in your "Chevy van" ... These songs were raw, rock n roll was new, and raw...the world was changing and music was leading the way. This was the best era for music that ever was, or ever will be. My era...

[beverlybrown]

Playing For Change is wonderful. Robbie Robertson was a treasure, he died not too long ago. He was the leader of The Band, Bob Dylan's backing tour band. His solo album Robbie Robertson is beautiful. He also worked on the soundtrack to Killers of The Flower Moon, his last project before his death, and was nominated for an Oscar. Born in Canada to a Native mother and a Jewish father that he never knew. His mother told him later that Robertson, the man she married, wasn't his bio dad.

[brendamilloy]

The Miracle of Music, where people from different parts of the world and different beliefs all play together and make beautiful music together. Most importantly, this shows us that we can all live, work and play together.

[shelleyparsons]

It always kind of shocks me to know there are people out there who have never heard this song. The Last Waltz is considered the gold standard, but I'm so glad you found this one because it is an absolute favorite of mine. THANK YOU!

The 60s & 70s for me my eyes were opened I became the love and felt the joy from the music I think that was my true Happy time, I felt tears of joy with every passing day, it was a beautiful powerful time A time to be alive, all captured in the music, I don't know when the darkness came, but if felt as though the happiness were push in to the corners, and sadness took over the world, for many the nostalgia of those times became a lift raft, many still want to love this world but there is so much hate and so little to love! our nostalgia is all that's left, all else is greed and fear of violence. only the core of spirituality in the hearts of those who truly remember, keep the flame burning!
