Average Rating: Rating: - simply the best rock concert film ever made not only a great selection of the best musical artists of the last half-century, but the band at its live best. Their collaboration with the other artists is perfect and makes for some great musical moments not found elswhere, such as with Emmylou Harris...the Staple singers, Clapton and Robbie Robertson's guitar duel.....Levon Helm and Paul Butterfield on "mystery train", and band's back up for Niel Young, Van Morrison, etc. Classic performances by Dr. John and an elderly Muddy Waters (still with power to spare). Scorcese's interviews show the artists sincere feeling for their music, as well as his own. Outstanding juxtoposition of interviews and song performances, such as Levon Helms recounting of meeting Sonny Boy Williamson shortly before his death, followed by the rendition of "mysery train" The documentary rock concert film has been done. Rating: - The First, Last, Only Concert Film! Any music documentary that makes Neil Diamond look cool has got to be something worth indulging. Not only does Martin Scorcese provide the most coherently interesting document on one of the greatest bands of all time, he provides a wonderful entry into the music that held lasting influence on many of the period's greatest artists. In one concert you have Muddy Waters, Ronnie Hawkins, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Dr. John, Eric Clapton and Bob Dylan. What sets this apart from other concert films, are the interviews with members of The Band and the tension captured in the live performances; the pacing is dead on. You hear about the early days of touring, playing harp "til your lips bleed", and the truth about how touring takes its toll. What makes this more than just another concert film is Dylan's closing performance, as well a performance portrait of The Band as a headliner and then The Band as a backing ensemble. My point being, run, don't walk, and get this for your collection. The only downside to owing this masterpiece is the realization that they simply no longer make 'em as good as Robbie (rock's greatest guitarist bar none), Levon, Garth, Rick, and Richard (greatest voice in rock). Neil Diamond's glitter never shone so brightly! Rating: - The Best Just Got Better!! The greatest concert movie of all time is now the greatest concert DVD of all time! The concert itself is epic...The Band playing their farewell concert on Thanksgiving 1976 with a few friends to help them out. Dylan, Clapton, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, Neil Diamond, Neil Young, and many more turn out to help The Band pay tribute to the musical styles that influenced them. You won't be able to take your eyes off this movie...every artist gives the performance of a lifetime! The DVD also contains some fascinating extras...there are 2 audio commentaries featuring Robbie Robertson, Martin Scorsese, and various artists and crew members that were a part of the Last Waltz. Unlike most commentaries, the ones on this disc are very enjoyable, providing many interesting stories about the concert, the artists, and the intense planning that went into the making of the film. Also included are 2 trailers, a photo gallery, unreleased footage, and a "making of" documentary, all of which are just icing on the cake! Anyone with an interest in popular American music needs this DVD in their collection!
