Sad. If I had to choose the greatest song ever written, I would not hesitate to go with The Weight. The version [0] from The Waltz is especially brilliant. [0

  I just love this. Scorsese’s camera moves - the way he swoops in behind Mavis and then slowly comes back around her as she starts to soar. The way he lights up Danko for the start of his solo bit. It’s just a beautifully put together document of a great performance. It was shot separately on a soundstage, making it essentially an early music video, and a great one at that. That Robertson and Scorsese were still working together right to the end just makes it all the more poignant and wondrous.

    In Once Were Brothers Scorcese tells how he planned out the shooting for the whole concert. One thing you might not pick up on: there are NO shots of the audience at all.

Another nice version, although the one you linked is my favorite: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph1GU1qQ1zQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ph1GU1qQ1zQ

  That's a pretty dope version as well. I do like Marcus King a lot. Also, nice username. ;)

No better clapping than Mavis'

  She also does an awesome version of For What It’s Worth

  That little vocal flourish she does after "...stick around", and her expression, sends me into outer space.

in Once Were Brothers they said when they played it for Dylan he looked at Robbie, disbelieving, and says, "You wrote that?"

His first solo album is one of my favorites.

  His solo debut and Storyville are a perfect one-two punch.
