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 end of an era, captured beutifully! To paraphrase a song by The Band. "A hippie's dream..if I ever did see one". Filmed in 1976, The Last Waltz captures the end of an era beautifully. The lighting has a dream-like quality to it. I guess if our generation died and went to heaven, this would be the closest thing. It centers around The Band and their magnificent musicians (Robertson, Danko, Helm, Manuel and Hudson) plus great performances by Eric Clapton, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, the great Muddy Waters, Neil Young, Dr. John, Emmylou Harris and more! The DVD also includes audio commentaries, behind the scenes features and great digital audio. After 1976, we were bombarded with disco, new wave, and punk leading us into the techno 80's. This film represents the music of the post-hippy late 60's and early 70's best. It is intelligent rock music performed by my some of the greatest names in rock history. This is one of the finest music films ever made. It comes across more like a movie than a concert and offers us a greater depth of understanding behind the personalities that dominated and influenced music during that period. Outstanding! Rating: - Virgil Caine is the name, and I served on the Danville train The first thing that you will notice about this film is how well it looks and sounds. I'm only 19 and anything from 1976 (when this was filmed) I'd expected to just look okay and sound decent. But the audio is possibly the best around on a music DVD that i've heard (roger waters: in the flesh also is of pristine quality)and the film, which was shot using 35mm by Martin Scorsese looks awesome. I've heard some of the songs off the last waltz album and i thought it was good, but when i put in the DVD and put on the 5.1 surround sound i was literally blown away. I never heard anything like it in my life. The guests appearances are amazing, every single one. All in all it's a fabulous DVD and if you're a fan of The Band it's an absolute must have, and I recommend it for all fans of rock and roll. p.s. YOU HAVE to hear "the night they drove old dixie down" at full blast and in surround sound. Quite possibly the best thing i've ever heard.
