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

Rating:  - A classic
If you want to see & hear what to 60s & 70s rock music was like, this is the concert film to get. Just look at the list of performers - this is defenitely the A-list. Hope you can connect your DVD player into your stereo since this DVD is best viewed at full power. A great concert film! The best I've seen.
Rating:  - Excellent film!!!
The film start with a review of the own group about the begining and how they comes to make their carrers. The performances are very exciting and the sound is pretty good!. I recommended this film because you can see not only a traditional concert, but a film-documentary about great artist of the 60's, and of course, in 1979 they was still young, still on tour, so the performances are perfect!.
Rating: - Better then I remember
I've watched this movie everytime I've seen it playing on tv. But watching it on Blue Ray has really shown me how great it truly is to watch. The Blue Ray sound will make this worth buying alone. I highly recommend it.
Rating: - Wonderful concert
Somehow I had managed to get through life never having seen the movie version of "The Last Waltz" concert until just recently. I regret not having watched this sooner. The Band and almost all of their guest performers were fabulous. The one exception is Neil Diamond - while I think Neil Diamond is a great musician with plenty to offer us, his presence just didn't seem to be a good fit at this concert (and this has been discussed in other reviews). I did find Robbie Robertson's ego trip with all of ... Read More
