“The impossibility of sainthood” is how Robbie Robertson once explained the meaning behind The Weight. In this classic track The Band immortalize a handful of people in their lives and created one of their best-known songs. In anticipation of tomorrow’s Ramble on the Road that stops at Massey Hall, today’s Listening Booth features this clip of Levon Helm’s Ramble with Mr. John Hiatt accompanying.
Enjoy!
Stephen McGrath is Soundboard editor and media relations manager at Massey Hall and Roy Thomson Hall
