The Band - The Weight (Live-1970)
Syria Mosque - Pittsburgh
Nov 1970
Levon Helm, Rick Danko, Robbie Robertson, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel
I pulled into nazareth, was feelin about half past dead;
I just need some place where I can lay my head.
Hey, mister, can you tell me where a man might find a bed?
He just grinned and shook my hand, and no!, was all he said.
Take a load off fanny, take a load for free;
Take a load off fanny, and (and) (and) you can put the load right on me.
I picked up my bag, I went lookin for a place to hide;
When I saw carmen and the devil walkin side by side.
I said, hey, carmen, come on, lets go downtown.
She said, I gotta go, but mfriend can stick around.
Go down, miss moses, theres nothin you can say
Its just ol luke, and lukes waitin on the judgement day.
Well, luke, my friend, what about young anna lee?
He said, do me a favor, son, woncha stay an keep anna lee company?
Crazy chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog.
He said, I will fix your rack, if youll take jack, my dog.
I said, wait a minute, chester, you know Im a peaceful man.
He said, thats okay, boy, wont you feed him when you can.
Catch a cannon ball now, ttake me down the line
My bag is sinkin low and I do believe its time.
To get back to miss fanny, you know shes the only one.
Who sent me here with her regards for everyone"

What you don't know is that Panic at the Disco has realized this fact too and they have incorporated a decidedly more retro, classic rock feel to their music. They were basically in high school when they made their first album and they played what they knew and now that they have realized that the 60's and 70's produced some of the best music that exists. I love the original but Panic actually does one of the best covers that I've ever heard.

WoW, this song is my most overplayed, but seeing this vid makes that all dissappear... fuck yes ;)

Levon Helm can take your fucking Panic at the disco and shove em up Garth's ass

Then go away. It's as simple as that. And nice variety of words. It's not a matter of being cool, it's that we don't want to hear about how "good" PATD is.
But it's all good. We don't not like you. Just take your crappy bands away.

I wont talk to pathetic person like you. It's so sad that there are people like you who can't read and must argue cause they wanna be cool. Pathetic
FlosAevi (November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am)
Go the fuck away. Panic at the Disco isn't even good. GTFO.
I'm 15 and know better than to believe such "pathetic" crap like "Panic at the Disco is good."
Nuh uh. No. |
