R&P: What is your favorite music concert film?
Today I beat the summer heat and humidity by staying indoors and watched The Last Waltz.
The Last Waltz was a concert by the rock group The Band, held on American Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1976, at Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. The Last Waltz was advertised as the end of The Band’s illustrious touring career, and the concert saw The Band joined by more than a dozen special guests, including Paul Butterfield, Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Ronnie Hawkins, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, Muddy Waters, Ronnie Wood, Bobby Charles and Neil Young.
The event was filmed by director Martin Scorsese and made into a documentary of the same name, released in 1978.

The Last Waltz (Special Edition) $6.25 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 memb… |

Last Waltz $14.47 “As you might have heard, we got a couple of friends joining in with us tonight,” mutters Robbie Robertson dryly. Recorded at San Francisco’s Winterland on Thanksgiving Day 1976, the Band’s swan song is a rousing celebration, not a bittersweet eulogy. The friends in question: Ronnie Hawkins, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond, Dr. John, Paul Butterfield, Muddy Waters, Pinetop Perkins, Eric Cl… |

Heaven’s Gate [VHS] $1.84 Not many movies can take credit for bringing about the demise of a movie studio–but Michael Cimino’s ego-driven, overblown Western is one of them. These days, its $40 million budget would barely cover the cost of an Adam Sandler film–but in 1981, it virtually put United Artists out of business. Cimino, fresh from an Oscar for The Deer Hunter, spent months assembling this ultimately gorgeous and … |

This Wheel’s on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of the Band $10.80 The Band, who backed Bob Dylan when he went electric in 1965 and then turned out a half-dozen albums of beautifully crafted, image-rich songs, is now regarded as one of the most influential rock groups of the ’60s. But while their music evoked a Southern mythology, only their Arkansawyer drummer, Levon Helm, was the genuine article. From the cotton fields to Woodstock, from seeing Sonny Boy Willia… |
