329: The Last Waltz
Universally acclaimed as one of the great concert films, The Last Waltz,is an account of the Band’s star-studded 1976 farewell concert, after 16 years on the road. Joni Mitchell and Neil Young join the Band. Other performances include Muddy Waters, the Staples Singers, and Van Morrison in the riveting rendition of “Caravan.” The concert took place on Thanksgiving in 1976 in San Francisco’s Winterland. Offstage, Scorsese interviews the Band’s five members and focuses on the nature of life on the road - the friendships, the harmonies, the hijinks, and the wear and tear that add up to a last waltz.
