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

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

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

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

Bonnie Raitt is simply incomparable.

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

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.

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.

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

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

And a RIP shout-out to the other singer who made this song great, Rick Danko. And of course to one of the best songwriters to come along - Robbie Robertson.

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.

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 👏

Amazing how that stage didn't buckle under the weight of the talent standing on it. Vale Levon we all miss you

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.

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

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

John Hiatt singing The Weight just awesome!!!!

God, I love her, her playing, her voice, her everything, nobody ever like her

The most quintessential Americana song written by and performed originally by a Canadian band ( except Levon ), love this lineup, love Levon R.I.P.

Anything with Bonnie signing and playing guitar is magic!

Gotta love Buddy Miller and Richard Thompson as "back-up musicians!" Sweet Jesus, what a band!

Bonnie pointing 👉 up Levon smiling down from Heaven ... The Reverence in this version was beyond the beyonds. Greetings from Dublin Ireland 🇺🇦 🇮🇪 Groovy man...Groovy....

Bonnie Rait is UNDERRATED ! ! What a talent

PURE GOOSEBUMP CITY! Especially that intro by Amy Helm, Teresa Williams and Larry Campbell. And Bonnie, oh Bonnie! She flips every line like she don't care but wrings out soul for days. And that's before we get to the gee-tar and that mean, mean slide of hers. Think "The Gangster" is in love - but don't tell the boys! G.C.

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.

Brittany Howard hit this like one of those unlikely contestants who come on those talent contest shows and blows everybody away. This was 2012 She was not well known yet. This is a moment that put the spotlight on her.

My first encounter with Brittany Howard. Man, what a voice!

It's times like this I wish You Tube had a LOVE button!! Like is NOT strong enough!!

Bonnie still rocking a fantastic voice!

Brittany and Bonnie I could listen to them all day long. I had the pleasure of seeing them live. OMG

Most of the tributes for this song go to Levon as it should, but Brittany Howard sure did Cover verse 4 just like Rick Danko did it! Thanks Brittany!!!

I really appreciate the inclusion of Brittney Howard.... whom I think is one of the few who will carry on that which Levon and so many others on that stage reflect, a dedication to the music that transcends ego and vanity and is just about the pure magic of the music!

I love this. I can only imagine how Britany feels being up there with all of them❤

I absolutely adore Bonnie Raitt. and love Brittany Howard, her style is unique. They're all great.

Probably one of the greatest pieces of music ever written

I really wish Levon Helm was still here. such talent, an in the band, when he played this song on the drums, i was amazed to see him to keep perfect rhythm while singing! he will rest in peace, as my, and many others, favorite drummer.

Brittany Howard's voice shook me. Wow!! Bonnie and Emmylou were good, as expected, but Brittany was amazing!!

Wow I've never heard Brittany Howard sing before I did not expect such an amazingly powerful voice

Respect for all in this performance. Especially Brittney and Bonnie

Emmylou Harris and Bonnie Raitt have class for days! Absolutely beautiful souls who I look up to.

Bonnie and Emmy were my 2 crushes growing up.

This was already remarkable and then Bonnie Raitt dropped her hands from her guitar and belted out "...who set me here ...." My soul almost left my body!

Wow, Brittany Howard. Didn't expect to see her there. Fantastic.

As the song progressed, anticipated Bonnie taking a verse. So much talent on that stage. Think I'll seek out the Playing For Change version again.

What a great performance! One of the best songs ever. Young Brittany Howard holding her own on stage with these A-list All Stars.

Wow, there are some of my heroes on that stage! Sam Bush, Bonnie Raitt, John Hiatt, Booker T, Emmylou, Richard Thompson, Levon, et al. Fantastic!

The wonderful singer/composer/guitarist extraordinaire, Richard Thompson, content to simply pay respects and 'wick his lamp down low' for the opportunity to pay respects and play just a little in Levon's honour.

Bonnie, forever the Queen❣️

They saved the best for last -- the one and only Bonnie Raitt! 👌👋🙏

Yep, I agree David P...have to admit I was just waiting for Bonnie to sing...nice tribute to Levon!

WOW WOW WOW so many powerful harmonies sharing the love for Levon, probably one of the most loved musicians of all time.

My introduction to Brittany Howard. I'm an instant fan! What a voice! Seeing John admire her gave me chills.

Written by Robbie (Jaime) Robertson, lead guitar of The Band. When Robbie joined the Ronnie and the Hawks (precursor to The Band) , he looked up to Levon the most. Read "Testimony", wonderful autobiography of Robbie R. for more. You'll love it.

Tears to my eyes!!! Such a beautiful and moving tribute to one of the greatest that Music’s ever had!!! Love for Levon, this song made me want to play the guitar!

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

I love Bonnie Raitt's soulful voice

January 1st 2020 and this song still reduces me to tears

Levon was a good human being! He was happiest when playing & singing with groups of people. He had as much love for folks as he did talent.

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

All that amazing talent, and one of my long favorite artists, Booker T. Jones, pushing the sound from that amazing Hammond. These voices are so incredible, it once again brings the tears to my tired 60 year old eyes. Magnificent.

Brittany Howard ripped it! She has the least number of years performing on stage. Bonnie Raitt is still the queen blue eyed soul.

I have hard so many covers, mixes of this song but this is the only one live I've come across that is respectful of the harmonics.

Great to see John Hiatt there. A very underrated artist!

I can't think of anyone in the music business who was more loved than Levon. I got choked up listening to this. A wonderful musician and by all accounts a better man. God bless him. There's no higher praise than that which comes from your peers and we surely saw it here in spades.

There is so much love and respect on this stage. If everyone spent their life earning such admiration, the world could be a much happier place. Absolutely love this performance.

What an honor to be a part of that ensemble.

Everybody, including me, pulled into Nazareth back in those days. Nazareth, PA. (circa 1968 for me.) They boasted of their race car drivers (Mario Andretti, et al billboards) , fine, but for us, they had something much more incredible and alluring, something of which they never ever boasted back then - a small non-descript rectangular building with about 6 busy craftsmen inside, slowly crafting these beautiful upscale guitars in various phases of completion - MARTIN GUITAR CO. Nazareth, PA

No matter how many big stars are on a stage, whenever Bonnie Raitt is there she outshines all of them.

Lost my mom to cancer in March of 2012…Levon died from cancer a month later. A week or so after that, we were at a Light The Night cancer walk and benefit in New Smyrna Beach Florida. They had a large board up at the stage and encouraged people to write loved ones names who we lost in the last year since the last walk. I of course put my moms name, but had to put Levon’s name too. Such a great influence on my musical journey over the years…

Bonnie Raitt.....love everything she does

I absolutely love this song and I love this cover. Everyone singing it together like this, you don't find something this incredible often ❤️

Such an incredible and moving version. This literally brings tears to my eyes just from the sheer beauty of the sound. I love all kinds of music from A to Z but harmonies and soulful singing like this demonstrates to me why country and blues singers give us some of our greatest singers. I just love this.

The best. Survivors of the soul robbing corporate music industry.

Don't think it gets much better than this. How did they manage to get all these great musicians together in the same place at the same time?

Booker T! GOAT what a performance!💖💖💖💖

Sometimes with all the great songs from our pasts we file away many on the shelves in our minds. Then along comes a crisis, such as the one we are now encountering, and those good old songs drop off those shelves into our consciousness. This an excellent song for now and what all the first responders, medical personnel, and all those day in day out are contending. How, many wish the load could be taken off their shoulders, at least for a while that they may get some respite from the battle? Almost all are faceless, some behind masks while others behind walls or those individuals outside simply doing what they do best, their work. Under appreciated until the crisis hits and still doing their work but some thrust into an unwanted limelight. A limelight that exposes them to us the recipients of their labors. Labors that take care of the water, electricity to our homes, the food from farm to store to table, that keep our lives as normal as possible. And those whose labors tend to the infirm, sick and dying, labors that drain their whole bodies as they give of themselves and too often they join those they treat and care for. We don’t see their faces but we should never take their labors for granted and never ever forget to give the honor the deserve fighting for us. Energies and emotions drained they still show up for the fight and we should do all in our power to support them and give them our thanks, always.

Ms Raitt owned it from 5:04 to 5:31 ... Wow!

Oh WOW, Bonnie Raitt! What a woman! 💚

New Years Eve 2019. Just watched/listened to this for the first time ever. Great grouping of many favorite musicians. So sweet and smooth, it brought tears to my eyes.

Rarely does one see as much talent on one stage. Amy Helm, who proves the adage the fruit don't fall far from the tree. Larry Campbell and Teresa Williams, who with Amy were a huge part of Levon's musical celebration of life in his later years. Bonnie Raitt.... well, enough said. Sir Richard Thompson, said by many to be the finest living guitarist. Emmylou Harris with her former guitarist and uber producer Buddy Miller. Buddy's partner in crime Jim Lauderdale. The unique voice of John Hiatt. Bassist and another uber producer Don Was. Shining light Sam Bush. Booker T. Jones, and fellow M.G.'s drummer Al Jackson and bassist Lewis Steinberg, the legends. And Brittany Howard, who along with Amy, are keeping the torch lit for the future. God bless you Levon, and all that you have mightily influenced.

So sad to realize we won't be seeing another one like Levon on this planet.

Any reaction to The Weight is ok, regardless of who is singing. This song is 4 ever

What a Line -up!!!! 🇺🇸Americana at its finest. RIP Levon’ Heaven Rejoice one of greatest Songwriter/Musicians of all Time! This song has become an American Anthem

These all star things often don't work. This works brilliantly. Thanks.

I didn't think Bonnie was ever going to sing, I saw her and Jackson Browne in Albuquerque back in the early/mid 70s At that time Id never heard of either one of them, went on a fluke. This song will always be one of my all-time favorite songs, That will never change RIP Levon☮️♥️☑️

This just shows how great Levon was. A bunch of great musicians and this can't hold a candle to the original.

This is the most awesome thing I've found on KZfaq so far. Amazing lineup of musicians and a wonderful tribute to Levon.

Bonnie Raitt sounds so amazing! What an awesome tribute. Grew up listening to this genre...miss the real music.

The first guy, Jim Lauderdale, is one of the nicest and most genuine guys I have ever met. Humble and true to the art form. Also met Booker T. Jones after one of his shows...another guy who is soft spoken and kind. I betcha most everyone on this stage is that way. Probably the authenticity of the music that makes the character of musicians authentic and approachable.

There is a hole in my soul since Levon left us.What an amazing arraignment of a timeless classic. Shoutouts to The Band and this astounding group of musicians.

Music knows no race, no borders and restricts no one and for ages past and for the ages to come will continually say “ALL ARE WELCOME”

What a great song that has stood the test of time! Played this song in the early 70's in a band! 💕💕💕

Levon has such a wonderful voice. This song is in the pantheon of great songs.

Bonnie is the best. The Band will live forever.. miss you Levon.

Just wow ! And amazing from all especially Bonnie Raitt and Brittany

The girl next to Emmy Lou is unbelievable so young yet so powerful & not out of place on a stage of legends

Bonnie addict since 1971, when she played in my college (Grinnell) dorm lounge behind her first album. Gifted, from incredible family talent (her dad John Raitt was heartbreakingly handsome and gifted with a beautiful voice. You go,, Bonnie.

If you just listen to the version Levon Helm oh my goodness he's a wonderful individual what a wonderful songwriter thank you

NEVER! Gets any better! To LEVON!!
