The Band – The Last Waltz (4-CD)
Product Details
Scorsese's concert film gets most of the attention, but the audio document stands on its own terms entirely. The four-disc set captures details the cameras couldn't, including the full warmth of Levon Helm's voice and Garth Hudson's arrangements in a mix that rewards headphones as much as it does a room full of people. For a band that spent years as Bob Dylan's road crew before becoming one of the defining acts of the Americana tradition, it was a fitting send-off.
Reissue of this 2002 four CD box set. On Thanksgiving Day 1976, The Band (Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Hudson, Richard Manuel, and Robertson) took the stage for the very last time at the Winterland Theatre in San Francisco for the Last Waltz, which has gone on to become one of the most heralded performances of all time. Joining The Band on stage throughout the evening was an unprecedented group of pioneers in music including Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, and Neil Young, among others. This is a neat way to own this incredible compendium of work from some of the most legendary songwriters of our time.
