None better, very few close Take a fine director, great camera work - at 35mm, mix with THE
BAND at their height and just about anybody who could play well
enough to appear on the same stage with The Band and you have
The Last Waltz.
Robbie Robertson and Marty Scorsese set the bar as high as it
could go with this film.
The DVD has some great interview material and a couple of
additional extras as well as really great sound!
If The Band, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Eric Clapton,
Ronnie Hawkins, Paul Butterfield, MUDDY WATERS!, Ringo Starr,
Ron Wood, Neil Diamond (?), Emmylou Harris, the Staples
Singers, Van Morrison and Dr. John are your idea of musicians -
this is your film!
Everybody is outstanding and The Band is on fire...but Ronnie
Hawkins and Dr. John give over-the-top performances in a concert
with nothing less than fine performances by all.
