The Weight – The Covers
Carmen, the Devil, Crazy Chester, Jack the dog, Miss Moses, Luke, Anna Lee and Miss Fannie all come together in 16 unique performances of this song. There are so many great moments throughout the compilation, not the least of which is Marmaduke’s peculiar yet priceless vocals in the New Rider’s rendition, which also includes Jerry’s weeping pedal steel guitar.
Other hilights include:
Steve Kimock’s sublime guitar solo during Zero’s slower, pensive and poignant version.
Mark Mercier’s solo performance on piano and vocals
Max Creek’s bouncier version.
Fat Maw Rooney’s fiery blues vocals
Bruce Hornsby and Debbie Henry’s beautiful harmonization with Bruce’s incredible piano riffs and fills
A rousing, electrifying performance from Gillian Welch, David Rawlings and guests in a once-in-a-lifetime festival moment.
An encore from the Dead from the only audience recording that I know of from this show. It is a great aud, and the band/crowd interaction shows, in just one 7-minute tune, what kept Deadheads so devoted to Jerry and the boys for so long.
I had a ton of fun putting this together, and wish I could have included more. But dime rules being what they are… No complaints, though, this is a fun collection. Hope you enjoy!
