Watch the Dead cover The Band’s ‘The Weight’ at Robert F. Kennedy Stadium on June 25, 1993. "One of the most welcome additions to the Dead's cover-song repertoire, The Band's classic 'The Weight' made its debut with the Dead in March 1990 at Nassau Coliseum, and was always well-received, with the band alternating lead vocals. 'The Weight' would end up being the final song Brent Mydland played with the Dead, on July 23, 1990, in Tinley Park, IL." - David Lemieux. | Grateful Dead
