Martin Scorsese's 1978 capsule history of the Band is mixed with footage of the group's allegedly last performance (certainly their last performance as a quintet) in this particularly stylish concert film. Scorsese shoots the players and their sundry guests with the same flair and enthusiasm one can see in the later The Color of Money or Goodfellas. He also proves a good interviewer with Band members, particularly Robbie Robertson, whose sleepy-sexy good looks make a star-caliber impression in close-up. But the film's real hook is the stage show, which features a rotation of rock legends (Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Paul Butterfield, Bob Dylan, and so on) playing with the Band before a wildly appreciative audience. --Tom Keogh

- Amazing.... THANKS
Being searching for years for this film before thinking of Amazon.
One has to see it to imagine how was it like in the 70's Rock & Roll.
I think IT IS the best Rock & Roll movie ever made.
Thanks to AMAZON.

- Where's tura Lura ?
With all the wasted footage on his highness (snicker) Mr.Robertswhatever, and the likes of Kneel Diedman for cryin' out loud, why couldn't Mr Scorch-cheesy fit in the Richard Manuel/Van morrison duet on Tura-Lura? What a freakin' faux pas!! Does anyone know where footage of that little gem can be found?
Rating: - Everything in classic rock
All the big names. All the best songs.The first time I watched this dvd, I played it 3 times in a row.
Rating: - Last Waltz
This is a fantastic tape of The Band and their last performances and their view of their short career.The music is great.Robbie is a cutie.
