Episode 17: The Band - The Last Waltz

This is a special review of a special live concert album and film. You know why? You do not have to be a fan of The Band to enjoy this. I can remember hearing and seeing the recording of The Last Waltz for the first time, shockingly late in the year 2000. My mind was numb. My brain decided to go on vacation after that. For I had not been part of a concert performance (virtually, of course) that moved me when I had known nothing about this band.  On Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1976, the rock n’ roll group, The Band, played what was advertised as their last concert. The Band was leaving the road, and they were going to party just one more time with friends, family, and an audience of 5,000 at the famed Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco at the corner of Post Street and Steiner Street.
