Description

More than just one of the greatest concert films ever made, The Last Waltz is an at once ecstatic and elegiac summation of a vital era in American rock music. Invited to document the farewell performance of the legendary group the Band at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom on Thanksgiving, 1976, Martin Scorsese conceived a new kind of music documentary. Enlisting seven camera operators (including renowned cinematographers Vilmos Zsigmond, László Kovács, and Michael Chapman) and art director Boris Leven to design the strikingly theatrical sets, Scorsese created a grandly immersive experience that brings viewers onstage and inside the music itself. That music—as performed by the Band and a host of other generation-defining artists, including Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, the Staple Singers, Muddy Waters, and Neil Young—lives on as an almost religious expression of the transcendent possibilities of rock and roll.DIRECTOR-APPROVED BLU-RAY SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, supervised and approved by musician Robbie Robertson, with 5.1 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrackAlternate uncompressed stereo soundtrackTwo audio commentaries, featuring director Martin Scorsese; Robertson; other members of the Band; members of the production crew; and performers Dr. John, Ronnie Hawkins, and Mavis StaplesNew interview with Scorsese, conducted by critic David FearDocumentary from 2002 about the making of the filmOuttakesInterview from 1978 with Scorsese and RobertsonTrailer and TV spotEnglish subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearingPLUS: An essay by critic Amanda Petrusich

  • A must Have for all serious Rock & Roll Library's !!!!
One of the first things I notice, that so many people ask when I have introduced this outstanding music movie to them is ...why? Why on earth did " The Band" retire... they don't look road weary or stumbling around bloated with sunken dark eye's carrying 60lb's worth of dead liver tissue. Quite the opposite they look as if 16 years on the road has turned them into rock hard road warrior's at their prime!!! I tell them ... " Well your right! My guess is they wanted to go out like Rocky Marciano, on top & be remembered that way!!!" I also remind them of the pressures & internal conflict that can develop between band members that work so closely together for so long...just look at " The Beatles" & they broke up a lot earlier than 16 years together. Here are 21 reasons to purchase this Music D.V.D. #1: Bobby Charles #2: Dr. John #3: Van Morrison #4: The Staples # 5: Ron Wood #6: Ringo Starr #7: Joni Mitchel #8: Neil Young # 9: Steven Stills # 10: Paul Butterfield # 11: Bob Dylan # 12: Neil Diamond # 13: Emmylou Harris # 14: Ronnie " The Hawk" Hawkins # 15: Eric Clapton # 16 : Muddy Waters & of course the reason all these stars are in this movie " The Band"= # 17: Garth Hudson # 18: Rick Danko # 19: Richard Manuel # 20: Levon Helm # 21: Robbie Robertson. And if that list of musical talent isn't enough to spark your interest then remember that Rolling Stone Magazine rated " The Band" at Number 50 of the Greatest Rock & Roll Bands of all time!!! Chances are if your looking at purchasing " The Last Waltz" you are familiar with " The Band" & their Music. I would like to say I feel as though most of " The Bands" songs captured on this D.V.D. are better than there studio versions! Also this makes a great gift for young people that are interested in Rock & Roll History! I know my son loves it & he is in his early twenty's. As far as Music Movies or Music concerts or events captured on film goes this one ranks right up with " Woodstock" , " The Isle of White" or " Altamont" If not surpassing those show's for the simple fact that this event was captured on 35. mm film with great sound. If you love watching great music performed live at its best this is a must have along with the afore mentioned shows! I know I had to add it to my music movies on D.V.D. collection! Stand out performances on this D.V.D. are everything performed by " The Band" as well as Van Morrison, Neil Diamond, Dr. John, Bob Dylan & Neil Young's face as he gets to play with Bob Dylan... Neil looks like a kid at Christmas!!! I can't leave out Muddy Waters either who starts off playful but finishes very strong, or Ronnie " The Hawk" Hawkins who gives us a Rip Roaring Rebel Yell version of " Who do ya love?"!!! " The Staples" add a whole new level to the song " The Weight" & Levon Helm sings " The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down" like it's the last time he will ever get to sing it again...wait a minute ...IT IS the LAST TIME He will ever sing it with the original line up again!!! ... show more

  • A Classic - Amazing Updated Sound
A lot has been said about this documentary, and rightfully so. It's nearly flawless. It's a sacred time capsule of the era, with so many amazing artists joining The Band on stage. The 4K release is the third version I have owned of this film. And they have gotten better with each iteration. If you don't have a surround sound system at you house, do yourself a favor and get somewhere that does. This new 5.1 mix is incredible and puts you right in the middle of it all, wrapping you in all the glorious music of an unforgettable evening. I never stop smiling when I watch this. ... show more

  • "The Last Waltz:" the greatest rock and roll documentary of all time? Well, almost...
What can I say about Martin Scorcese’s “The Last Waltz” that hasn’t already been said? That it is the greatest rock and roll documentary of all time? The finest music movie ever made? The best rock concert ever put on film? “The Last Waltz” is, of course, a feature-length documentary of the final concert of the legendary 1960s and 70s rock group The Band. This concert was held at Bill Graham’s Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco on Thanksgiving Day, 1976. This is much more than a concert video, however. It features The Band playing many of its most iconic songs, such as “Up on Cripple Creek,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” “King Harvest (Has Surely Come),” “The Weight,” “Ophelia,” and many, many others. The concert also features several guest stars - most notably Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Muddy Waters, Van Morrison, Neil Diamond, Neil Young, Emmylou Harris, The Staples Singers, and many others. Until recently, I had only seen “The Last Waltz” twice in my life – once in the mid-1980s on an old, horribly grainy VHS tape, and once a few weeks ago on Amazon Video. The difference between the two viewings was startling. By 2017, the movie had been remastered in high definition, making both the video and audio quality pristine. It was such an enjoyable viewing experience that I decided to purchase “The Last Waltz” on Blu-ray – making it only the third music video in my entire home video library. Although I don’t quite subscribe to the idea of “The Last Waltz” as being the best rock movie ever made, I do rank it a very close second, behind what I consider the greatest-ever “rockumentary:” Michael Wadleigh’s “Woodstock: 3 Days of Peace and Music.” “The Last Waltz” easily earns my highest recommendation. ... show more

  • Essential viewing if you like rock
For my money, this is the greatest rock music movie ever made. It has an elegiac tone that is due to its celebration of The Band at the time of its breaking up and the film portrays this as the end of an era . . . but in fact it turned out that it really was the end of an era. Very, very few of the then legendary artists who appear in this concert did anything worthwhile after this. They defined a generation, but Punk was on the scene, and low-profile street-smart rap music was about to explode into view as Hip-Hop, and the digital age was waiting in the wings. It was never the same again. Of course, it isn't just the music, but also the interviews. These are worth seeing on their own, for they are the portrait of an era too. Fascinating and in a way shocking. I know other rock music movies are also rated highly, but if this isn't your idea of the best movie of all it has to be on your top three or four. Essential viewing for those with an interest in rock music. ... show more

  • A great timepiece, especially if you like the band. Worth watching even if you don't!
Yes, I agree the interview sound quality was sub par. It seems to me that these interviews were done with one mic, and the one mic wasn't in the right place and for the group interviews might have been hard to place. Too bad that this hasn't been cleaned up with digital technology. But still great! Just keep that remote handy, you are going to need it! ... show more
