The Last Waltz

If you are a fan of 70's rock this is the video for you. This is the last concert by The Band. The show was at the Winterland in San Francisco on Thanksgiving night. There are many luminaries of the rock world there to commemorate the occasion. Eric Clapton sings the old Bobby Blue Bland tune Further On Up The Road which features some great guitar playing by Clapton and Robbie Robertson and Rick Danko. Others appearing in the show include Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Emmy Lou Harris, Staple Singers, Ronnie Hawkins, Muddy Waters, Dr. John, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison and Neil Diamond. Between songs members of The Band relate experiences of being on the road for sixteen years....like the time they went into a grocery store and shoplifted enough food for them to eat that night....Levon Helm singing The Night They Drove Ole Dixie Down and Ophelia. The concert is a time capsule that captures the mood of music from the late 70's.
