Mr. Robertson apparently decided to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of his composition "The Weight" by being a part of one of "Playing for Change's" international productions. And somehow, Ringo Starr (playing drums right around the corner from Robbie, on someone's balcony...) looks almost the same age as he did when he was with the Beatles.

Personally, I think this is the best version I've ever heard of the song since the original...

"There's no dispute that we now live in a hyper-connected, globalized world--but plenty of argument over the type of globalization that's best for our collective future.
