    In what just might be the finest rock& roll concert film ever, THE LAST WALTZ celebrates the final performance by the Band (Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Levon Helm, and Garth Hudson). The show took place on Thanksgiving Day in 1976, at San Francisco's Winterland Arena--where the group had played their very first show more than 16 years before. In order to make their farewell even more unforgettable, they recruited numerous guests to join them onstage, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Ronnie Hawkins, Paul Butterfield, Emmylou Harris, Neil Diamond, the Staple Singers, Dr. John, Ringo Starr, Ron Wood, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Martin Scorsese, a former roommate of Robbie Robertson's, employs some of the world's greatest cinematographers--including Michael Chapman, Vilmos Zsigmond, and Laszlo Kovacs--to film the set in a way that captures the show's sweat and energy with a powerful intimacy. Interspersed into the songs are a series of interviews with the Band's members, who recall their early days playing for empty bars and their emergence as major players in the rock& roll game. THE LAST WALTZ is a thrilling concert film, mandatory viewing even for those unfamiliar with the Band or rock music in general.

The perfect gift

amandaleigh20 from Minnesota, Aug 26, 2009

I bought this as a gift and my bf loved it. We actually had to shift plans so we could watch it that night. He still pops it in when we are doing stuff around the house so we can have the music in the background. I would recommend it for anyone who loves this type of music.

Awesome dvd

Jidda from Syracuse, NY, Jan 25, 2009

This dvd really shows The Band at their best. The bonus is all the great musicians on this with them. I especially love Van Morrison. Great live performance. Definitely worth the money. A must for any music lover.

I certainly am enjoying the music on this cd, but I wish there was a booklet insert attached to the inside cover. There is not any written information about the cd that comes with this product and I was looking forward to reading about it as well as listening to it.

This is the best rock movie ever produced. This is also as cheap as you'll find it. Buy this movie and you'll be amazed. You have my personal guarantee.
