Someone, somewhere once wrote/said that The Band played Mavin Gaye’s “Don’t Do it” like it was their own. There are a few songs that a group or artist plays so well and so convincingly that it somehow/someway becomes “their” song.
This is one example.
Although some will squabble with this, for me, below is just about the most perfect piece of rock and roll ever created.

1Man, they were good. Danko really leans into it and gets funky with that bass, and Levon always amazes me. When Levon hits that line “open up your heart, girl, can’t you see I need ya,” he’s just punishing his drum set and putting everything into the vocals at the same time. GREAT stuff…
