Rating  - 100% Great!!! 4% .....
.. I can't say it any better than the other reviewers said it. I remember seeing this film/concert on Showtime years ago, & it still sounds fresh every time I watch it now on this great DVD version. (And I watch it at least once a week). Here's the riff in all of this; aside from the 10 bucks each that Garth was charging the guys for music lessons, .. I thought Robbie had passed away, for the last 20 years. I had read this in a Rock Encyclopedia 20 some years ago, & believed it; & thought that rock had lost one of "the great musicians" of our time. Whether it be songwriting, or guitar playing, or producing, this man has made a significant contribution to music that is hard to rival. I don't care what Levon says .. lol .. & that is not to diminish Levons' own unique contributions. Robbie was the "guiding force" & leader of "The Band". Well, I very gladly learned that Robbie had not passed away during the Hall of Fame induction ceremony for Jackson Browne & Bob Seger .. the camera panned to a table where Bruce Springsteen & Robbie Robertson were sitting. I thought I'd seen a ghost .. "that's him, I know it is" & thankfully it was. I later learned that Richard Manuel had passed, & was incorrectly reported as Robbie. Both Richard & Rick Danko are gone now. Let's appreciate the surviving members. The Last Waltz has so many great moments; but one of my favorites is when Eric Clapton's guitar strap breaks & Robbie picks it up without missing a beat!!! "The Man" .. & the camera pans to Clapton who is smiling with gleaming approval of the performance. I thought Van Morrison gave the best guest performance as well. Great DVD!!!!
Rating - Great!
The Last Waltz is the best rock concert video I have ever seen. The sound is great, the video appropriate, the sense authentic. I hope other bands will review this and force their video production company to rise to this level.
Rating - One of my husband's favorite movies
I bought this DVD for my husband. He really loves it. I enjoyed it too!
Rating - THE LAST WALTZ by The Band
I watched this on a 72" HD TV on New Years Eve 2006 and completely, thoroughly enjoyed it. I don't know what planet I've been living on to have not seen this before!!! Highly recommend this DVD; the cast of musicians scattered throughout this video was just fantastic. What a blast!! You'll never get tired of watching/listening to these great performers. I am passing these out for gifts this holiday. Get it, you will not regret it...
