1.
The Weight
One of Rock's greatest songs. Is it Biblical? Either way, "take a load off, Fanny." Hudson's best organ work this side of "Like a Rolling Stone."

The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down
Na Na Na, Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na, Na Na Na Na Na! The horn section clinches the song. Frist person narrative song writing at its best.

Ophelia
where have you gone? Robertson's best song. Helm's best vocal. And Robertson's best guitar solo on "The Last Waltz."
