The Beatles were never recorded playing "The Weight" (written by Robbie Robertson and made famous by The Band). However, a 25-second track, documented on the so-called "Nagra Reels" shares this name (track D3-03, recorded on January 3rd, 1969).

The Nagra Reels were created during the "Get Back" sessions in January of 1969 at Twickenham Studios in London, England. These sessions were being filmed for a new Beatles movie, which was eventually released as "Let It Be". The Nagra Reels (named after the Nagra recorder that created them) were small 16 minute long mono tapes that were recorded for use as the film soundtrack.
