They’re all good..,then there’s Bonnie..,

[@derek3366]

When bonnie Raitt squares up on the microphone like that hold on to your seat!

[@selftrue670]

Bonnie Raitt is simply incomparable.

[@montypeterson7681]

Is there anybody cooler than Bonnie on stage with a group of greats? Always grins and waits her turn, then KILLS it! Love her!

[@davidparnell1893]

Bonnie Raitt gives a volume to this life so rare in its soul...notes expressed like none other than angels in sincerity and heart.

[@goodguy4342]

Ms. Bonnie still sounds like she did back in the day. Such a strong voice

[@reneepatterson8498]

I am just in love with Brittany Howard's voice. Everyone sounds perfect. And Bonnie oh Bonnie...

[@johnpatify]

WOW! And the look on John Hiatt's face while watching Brittany Howard sing is awesome. She did great with all those veterans up on stage

[@clafong9]

And a RIP shout-out to the other singer who made this song great, Rick Danko. And of course to one of the best songwriters to come along - Robbie Robertson.

[@joegiotta7580]

I love most of the people on this stage. Many of them I am personally close with. The musicality is palpable. But, without doubt, Miss Bonnie is the one that literally brings tears to my eyes every time I hear her. I love you, B.

[@Wacbot]

I've heard all my life of how beautiful Emmylou Harris is. She truly is, and has class too. My thanks to all of them for this fine gathering that they did! Bonnie Raitt too! She's so good.

[@bradleygray2511]

Respect for all in this performance. Especially Brittney and Bonnie

[@kennedydewitt3219]

Bonnie is stunning and that voice of hers gives me chills !

[@freddegrazia3620]

Bonnie Rait is UNDERRATED ! !

[@joeherald7319]

Brittany Howard hit this like one of those unlikely contestants who come on those talent contest shows and blows everybody away. This was 2012 She was not well known yet. This is a moment that put the spotlight on her.

[@kerryevans1562]

Bonnie pointing 👉 up

[@dthebassman7999]

They all sing and play the hell out of this song. One of the best all-star performances of this song. The Weight is timeless anyway.

[@jamesmoon6705]

Bonnie voice makes this song

[@kevinbarrett9615]

The most quintessential Americana song written by and performed originally by a Canadian band ( except Levon ), love this lineup, love Levon R.I.P.

[@rumpledskin7971]

They saved the best for last -- the one and only Bonnie Raitt! 👌👋🙏
