| | The Last Waltz |
 | | The entire undubbed concert was released as a 4 CD bootleg set in 1995. | | | The Last Waltz teeters between these two schools of thought, wanting to celebrate the end while blithely ignoring that musicians make music for a living -- and that's what keeps the music from truly captivating, from being essential, even if this set is perfectly assembled. | | | The original 30-track 3-LP box was also re-released in February 2003 by Rhino Handmade, as a limited-edition set (1500 copies) pressed on 180-gram virgin vinyl and featuring the new Robbie Robertson mixes included on Rhino's four-CD boxed set released in 2002. |

| | The answer is The Last Waltz, a concert film/documentary capturing the Band's final show on Thanksgiving Day of 1976. | | | It was the first rock concert shot on 35mm film and the first recorded using a 24-track system, and It's a hell of a beautiful film. | | | Forget the fact that the collection of rock talent on stage during this concert has perhaps never been equaled since, or that the performances of songs like "The Weight" by the Band or "Helpless" by Neil Young are pretty much as definitive as you're going to get. |

| | Last Waltz, The reviewed by AllZone4DVD.net |
| | The Last Waltz is director Martin Scorsese’s (Taxi Driver, Raging Bull) film of The Band’s final concert, held at San Francisco’s Winterland concert hall in 1976. | | | With heavy-weight talents such as Neil Young, Eric Clapton and Dylan himself (to name a few) appearing on-stage, The Last Waltz is not just a must-see for followers of The Band, but for all lovers of music from the era. | | | As a result, The Last Waltz has been consistently praised as an example of how concert movies should be made. |

| | At the time "The Last Waltz" was created, the rock film was still a rarity, despite the magisterial "Woodstock" and the shockingly fun mid-1960s Beatles outings. | | | That film aside, however, "The Last Waltz," as the pristine DVD version attests, is the single best movie about rock 'n' roll and only rock 'n' roll ever made. | | | And the music they made -- today you'd call it Americana, or alternative country -- is as unfashionable a genre as you can imagine, the success of the yuppie coffee-table CD that is the "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" soundtrack notwithstanding. |

| | Delta Sierra Arts » The Last Waltz |
| | Interspersed with the songs are interviews with members of the Band that show their passion for the music and their grappling with fame. | | | Throughout the interviews, there’s a recurring sense of nostalgia among the band members for something lost as the Band grew famous, which, combined with their still-evident love of music, clearly lends the film a wistful tone, and the sense of one final hurrah captured. | | | And what a film it is: true, The Last Waltz’s star-studded lineup of the Band, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, and others makes this a record of some kind of magic nexus of great musicians, but Scorsese also manages to make this a true film, rather than just concert footage spliced together. |

| | The Last Waltz is, in essence, a film that wants to entertain and be a time capsule of great music performed by great people. | | | Most of the music was performed in front of an audience, but three particularly well-performed pieces were shot in what appeared to be a sound check. | | | Martin Scorsese, best known as a great director of fictional films, collaborated with The Band in 1978 to capture their final concert on film for The Last Waltz. |

| | DVD Verdict Review - The Last Waltz |
| | When the decision was made in 1976 to bring The Band to a close (though it has continued to exist in various forms since that time), it was decided to play their final gig at Bill Graham's Winterland in San Francisco, where they had performed their first show as The Band in 1969. | | | Their sound is a widely varying mix of influences and is clearly marked with its roots in the 1960s and 1970s, so The Band is not going to be universally liked. | | | Although Martin Scorsese briefly considered shooting The Last Waltz as simply an archival film in 16mm, he wisely made the move to 35mm and thus we have a beautiful concert film brought to disc in anamorphic video. |

| | The rock documentary was filmed by Martin Scorsese at a farewell concert given on Thanksgiving Day 1976 by The Band, which had been performing since 1960, in recent years as the backup band for Bob Dylan. | | | In "The Last Waltz," we have musicians who seem to have bad memories. | | | Recently, I was at a memorial concert for the late tenor sax man Spike Robinson, and the musicians--jazz and big band veterans--were cheerful, filled with joy, happy to be there. |

| | So The Last Waltz is an affectionate though hard-edged two-hour compression of that evening, the last time these guys put their songs through their paces. | | | Nearly twenty-five years after the fact, The Last Waltz remains the benchmark for concert movies, and rightly so. | | | The final event had ballooned into an epic production, with a full orchestra providing dance music before the show; once The Band took the stage, they stayed there for close to seven hours. |

But Scorsese's troubles with New York, New York ultimately account for the melancholy tone of The Last Waltz--he wallows in the finality of it all. |

| | Restored and sonically enhanced for its 25th anniversary and DVD debut, The Last Waltz is a searing musical party with soaring ambitions that rarely disappoints. | | | Whether you subscribe to notion that The Last Waltz really was the last waltz -- a matches-flaming final encore for the American rock of the `60s -- or a farewell concert overfreighted by some fans with cultural import, there's no escaping its sheer brilliance as a film. | | | The Last Waltz Special Edition is a wonderland of special features, including previously unseen jam footage, audio commentary with Scorsese and Robertson, and a new featurette, "Revisiting The Last Waltz." It's one of the year's best DVDs, and we're especially glad MGM pulled this one out of the time capsule and dusted it off. |

| | The Last Waltz |
| | Between the years of 1985 and 1989, the band experimented with writing, recording, and performing original material, lost and gained a few members, recycled Bob Cunningham, who had become a truly gifted performer and musician during his hiatus, and limped to an end in the summer of 1989. | | | During that year, Edward, the last remaining original member, decided that going to law school would beat winding up drunk in a tour bus playing checkers on a comically oversized board, as he had seen The Tams do. |
