| On one magical Thanksgiving night The Band staged an historic final performance dubbed The Last Waltz that celebrated their many musical milestones in a near-formal concert-hall setting at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom. Joined by a horn section on a stage decorated with sets from La Traviata and Gone With The Wind, The Band performed gems from their own repertoire and backed up more than a dozen musical mentors and peers - legends like Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, and many others. And preserving the moment as part of movie history, celebrated filmmaker Martin Scorsese shot the concert for theatrical release. No group before or since has gone out in such opulent style.
Now you can experience this landmark event like never before. Rhino's remastered four-CD The Last Waltz boxed set contains more than twice the music of the original release. It features all 30 tracks from the 1978 album, plus previously unreleased performances, rehearsals, studio ideas, and all-star jams. An 80-page book includes liner notes by Rolling Stone's David Fricke, foreword by Robbie Robertson, and countless photos.
"The whole thing leaves us tickled pink, big time." Tom Sinclair, Entertainment Weekly

Originally released as a three-record, 30-song set, it's been expanded to 54 songs spread over four CDs. The concert presented an overview of their entire body of work, with music from most of their albums. They're joined by a series of guests who are all either peers (Van Morrison, Neil Young) and contemporaries or mentors and wsources of inspiration (Ronnie Hawkins, Muddy Waters). | | With the exception of Bob Dylan, all of the artists were originally heard performing only one song with accompaniment from the Band. This longer format allows for a further look at what transpired on that night. The live material is also joined by previously unissued studio recordings, including a theme that frames the work as a whole. Additional material also includes a few rehearsal takes, demos for some of the studio tracks, and 15 minutes of jamming with even more guests (Ringo Starr, Stephen Stills). This is not a traditional career overview or hits run-through; rather, it's a celebration of this important ensemble's legacy. |
