10. "The Weight" 1968
Back when My Morning Jacket formed, this was one of the first songs we tried, because the harmonies are so great and stacked in such a cool way.   But we couldn't do it, couldn't nail 'em.  We sang this one with Levon at his house recently, which is pretty fucking crazy.

Levon Helm Ramble -- The Weight

Don't tell Levon, but I couldn't resist bringing out the camera for this one. It was history in the making.

Very cool.  Great seeing Patrick up, dancing and singing, Bo as well.  Jim's in there somewhere, and Carl on guitar but far from a mic.  Must have been a cool scene.
