- "Look Out Cleveland" (The Band) Something of an outlier among The Band’s predominantly rootsy first two albums, “Look Out Cleveland” is a rollicking blast of bar-band blues, where the group’s history backing Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan is evident in structure and sterling execution.
- "Chest Fever" (Music From Big Pink) With evocative, elliptical lines like “She’s been down in the dunes/ And she’s dealt with goons,” “Chest Fever” is a perfect slice of The Band’s rustic psychedelia — and, fittingly, in 1969, the group opened their Woodstock set with the Music From Big Pink track.
- "Broken Arrow" (Robbie Robertson) One of Robertson’s most romantic songs, “Broken Arrow” is from his 1987 self-titled solo album. Atmospheric and dreamy, Robertson sings of a partner who turns his “whole world around.”
- "To Kingdom Come" (Music From Big Pink) Like most of the songs on Music From Big Pink, “To Kingdom Come” is a team effort; it’s tough to imagine its effervescent groove without any of The Band’s members.

- 'The Night They Drove Ol Dixie Down' If there's a greater song about the Civil War written by a Canadian, we haven't heard it. Robertson had the tune for this song in his head, but wasn't sure what it was going to be about.
- 'The Weight' There are few things guaranteed in life, but one of those guarantees is this: if any band, not even just the Band, closes out a concert with "The Weight," everyone in the audience will be belting out "take a load off Fanny" by the time the chorus hits.
- 'It Makes no Difference' The Band had three of the greatest voices in rock 'n' roll in its time, and "It Makes no Difference" may be one of the best displays from Danko.
- 'Ophelia' The best song from the Band's 1975 album, Northern Lights - Southern Cross, was inspired by Hamlet's ill-fated lover, Ophelia. Helm's vocals on this are so perfect, so essential, that the song will always be associated with him.
