Description: It started as a concert. It became a celebration. Join an unparalleled lineup of rock superstars asthey celebrate The Band's historic 1976 farewell performance. Directed by Martin Scorsese (Raging Bull, Goodfellas), The Last Waltz is not only 'the most beautiful rock film evermade' (New York Times) it's 'one of the most important cultural events of the last two decades' (Rolling Stone)!
Amazon.com: Martin Scorsese's 1978 capsule history of the Band is mixed with footage of the group's allegedly last performance (certainly their last performance as a quintet) in this particularly stylish concert film. Scorsese shoots the players and their sundry guests with the same flair and enthusiasm one can see in the later The Color of Money or Goodfellas. He also proves a good interviewer with Band members, particularly Robbie Robertson, whose sleepy-sexy good looks make a star-caliber impression in close-up. But the film's real hook is the stage show, which features a rotation of rock legends (Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Paul Butterfield, Bob Dylan, and so on) playing with the Band before a wildly appreciative audience. --Tom Keogh

The movie is the movie. If you have seen it, it is wonderful. Classically done and arguably the best rock and roll documentary made. The Blu-ray edition is what makes this so special. The clarity of the performances both visually and audibly is astonishing. The presence of the performers and the subtle nuances of their performances are presented in this high def format beyond what you could hope for. The bonus interviews with Scorcese and Robertson are also worth a gander. Just to hear the clarity of perspective from a long time after the fact.
Rating: - The Last Waltz very worth it!
My order of The Last Waltz DVD arrived promptly at my door in excellent condition. I am very satified.
Rating: - Great music & Musicians
I am at an age when some of the old rock and roll is the best. This movie has captured a lot of the magic in both the music and the performers who are tops in their field. It's starts out by saying turn up the volume and if you have a good sound system be sure you turn it up and prepare to rock.
Rating: - Best Rock Documentary Ever Made!
