In Concert/On Screen: The Last Waltz

Director: Martin Scorsese; 117 min., PG

40 Years ago Martin Scorsese chronicled the most legendary night in rock history, as an unparalleled lineup of rock superstars—including Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell and Van Morrison—that took the stage for “The Band’s” 1976 farewell concert. Today this film is recognized as one of, if not the best rock movie ever made, The Last Waltz is a revealing, electrifying view of the classic band at their height. “Seeing The Last Waltz again after many years is like revisiting an old passion and realizing the heat is still there.” —Peter Rainier, New York Magazine.
