Oh man, I had not heard that Levon Helm passed yesterday. RIP Levon.
The Weight is one of my favourite songs, first heard it many years ago on the soundtrack of the movie Easy Rider. The song and especially Levon's vocals marry perfectly with the visuals from the film:

My cassette tape has the version of The Weight by Smith...

I had that on tape too! The Smith version nowhere near as good as the one in the film..... licensing problems for the soundtrack album.... I really should make a copy of the CD and replace the Smith version with the original.....

The Weight is still on my brother's and my setlist. We played it three week's ago.
A decade ago, I wanted to learn The Weight intro, so I pulled out my Easy Rider tape. Oh yeah, wrong version. I had my friend download and burn me a copy of it by The Band.
On 19 April while looking for pepper seeds, I found the disc with only The Weight written on it. Then at suppertime, I heard The Weight playing on the news. I raced in to grab my guitar to play along with it.
Still haven't found the pepper seeds...
