Episode 58: The Band - The Last Waltz (RE-RELEASE w/ Musical Clips)

In light of Robbie Robertson's passing at age 80 on August 9, 2023, I wanted to RE - release Episode 17, our review of The Last Waltz - the famed live concert film and live album by the Canadian 60s and 70s musical powerhouse, The Band. Unlike the first review, this episode was remastered and "re-edited" with added musical clips from the famed live album.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.Each time I listen to this record and watch this film, I get this feeling as if I am remembering what it was like to be there, even though I was not. It is clear that not only was the audio recorded from the concert memorable, but the film brought the music to another level of extraordinary talent. Don’t believe me? Just watch it.
