New Riders of the Purple Sage

Thanks to suddenly disabled embedding on my original video, The Band performing "The Weight" with The Staple Singers (check out the performance on YouTube anyway, it's really great), I've called an audible. Check out the great Buddy Cage pedal steel solo on this NRPS cut. CCR also did a great cover of this song on their Mardi Gras album, which was released the same year as this cover was released on Powerglide, the second New Riders album. I'm guessing this video was probably a recording of a live performance in support of that new album.
