The Last Waltz (DVD, 2002, Special Edition)

This is a classic video by the Band. I have seen it over the years on various TV music programs. I am a musican and do many of the songs performed by various artists in this farewell tour video. I do not like to shop in the malls and with Ebay I can find many things from home. I have really enjoyed the large selection of nearly anything one could think of and being able to purchase from home.

One of the best music DVD's ever! Blues, Rock, Country, Bluegrass, (Neil Diamond), Every genre of music is covered in this great disc, performed by the best BAND ever, with appearances by whose, who of music, then and now.

Awesome! A must have in every collection. Although this is shot as a movie both the performances and the sound quality are excellent.

I like that you can get a good digital copy of a piece of history. I liked the presentation and the interviews with the band members. I liked the aray of stars, Clapton, Dylan, Van Morrison, Rod Woodson etc. I liked the fast shippment.

The Last Waltz chronicles The Band during their last performance with their original lineup. They are helped along the way by such artists as Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Van Morrison, and Bob Dylan. It is shot with the care and skill that goes into a great motion picture by Martin Scorcese. The performances are great throughout and the songs grow on you. If you take the time to watch this film at least three times you will understand why The Band was one of the greatest (and most underrated) rock bands ever.

This is a piece of history that every music lover should see. If you thought you didn't like The Band or have never really heard of them, after this concert you will appriciate them if not adore them. The GUEST Spots make this a phenomenal event. The music is so well done that it is hard to believe that it was a live concert. These are all very high quality musicians.
**If you own ANY concerts, you should own this one.**

I Watched this DVD video at a friends house and had to get a copy for myself. This is a very well done music DVD that is a Classic. Highly recommended

great price quick delivery..................................................................................

I bought this movie because I am interested in knowing more about the bands I grew up with. This movie gives you a look at the music and personalities of the musical group, The Band. It provided what I was looking for. A great movie? No. I don't regret buying and will probably keep it for another look in the future.

Best rock video I have ever seen. The audio is mixed well and the side conversations let you see what it was like to be on the road. There are
also a lot of well known musicians that are legends that do some great work on the DVD. I had bought a copy earlier on Ebay and this one is to be a gift
for my brother. After seeing this DVD, I have acquired the 3 CDs that The Band released after they quit touring.

This movie/concert was one of the best rock-n-roll events ever made available. As a long-time activist in Northern California, I was fortunate enough to spend much time in San Francisco during the 60's and 70's. It was a truly a "treat" to frequent Golden Gate Park's Hippy Hill and Kezar Stadium (remember the night before Altamont) , Haight Ashbury's Panhandle, Avalon, Fillmore, Matrix, California Hall, Family Dog on the Great Highway, and Winterland concerts.
Although it is difficult to pick a "best" concert, this was a classic event. The Band was outrageous, Bob Dylan energizng, Eric Clapton wonderful, Joan Baez amazing, Van Morrison great, Muddy Waters breath-taking, etc. And, let's not forget the audience-- all the "freaks" that could make it a wonderful time.
Although the nirvana of the 60's continues to exist in small west coast towns throughout Northern California and Oregon), it was an amazing period heightened by the dreams and actions of those "wonderful hippies" many of whom frequented the concerts of Quicksilver (with the magic of John Cippolina onlead guitar, Gary Duncan on rythem, David Frieberg on vocals, and Greg Elmore on the drums, the Dead (with all of the Band), Big Brother and the Holding Company with the incomparable Janis Joplin, the Airplane (needless to say), Moby Grape, Van Morrison, the Charlatans, It's a Beautiful Day, Sanatana, the Congress of Wonders, and the list goes on and on!!
Although we must not forget the actions to help move the struggle for equality and freedom towards a greater reality, attempting to wrest control from those evil capitalists and turn it over to "peace, love, and flowers" and equality for the people, our naivete of the true power of capitalism and the military industrial complex was amazing.
Fortunately, we and countless others of similar "mind and body" throughout the US, helped to bring significant progressive change to the system. Unforunately, the system lives on set to destroy similar actions for progressive change.
In the words of Martin Luther King, "WE SHALL OVERCOME."
As we continue to work for "peace, love, and flowers" for the people, our world is and will continue to be improved by the music (typified in "The Last Waltz") of the 60's and 70's.

This is a one of a kind movie for anyone who likes classic rock. If you are a fan of The Band, Van Morisson, or any of the other aritsts that make an apperance on this DVD it is worth it.

Probably the best music documentary film next to Woodstock. Some of the greatest performers of the late 60's & early 70's are on this DVD. The band are shown in a light never before seen, backing up all the greats & doing it perfectly. Of course they perform many of their super hits without missing a note. I never tire watching this film. Get it! A great buy for the buck.

This is perhaps the best music documentary ever made. Every single live song pulls at the heart strings of my memories. There are so many of the very best musicians that come back to play with the core members of The Band that have played with them over the years. All huge names. Watching them play "The Night they Drove Old Dixie Down" will make you feel like you are in the deep south inside the mind and heart of a seriously wounded confederate soldier. You feel like you're right there. NO WORDS CAN ACCURATELY DESCRIBE HOW WONDERFUL THIS DVD IS. JUST BUY IT. BUY IT. BUY IT.

Great movie. Directed by Martin Scorcesee. Quality band interviews and an abundance of friendliness and diverse musicians on stage.

paul butterfield, bob dylan, joni mitchell, van morrison, ron wood, neil diamond, eric clapton, neil young, emmylou harris, muddy waters, the staples, ringo starr, dr. john, and ronnie hawkins....need i say more? these performers along with "the band" just make it really good. all material is done very well. monte kennedy

We were introduced to this DVD by a friend of ours who had rented it through Netflix. He just loved it and so did we. I came home and immediately started to look at Ebay since I was unable to find it locally. Not only was I able to find it but it was far cheaper than anticipated. We ordered one and were thrilled with it and how quickly we recieved it since it came from Canada. We have since purchased one as a gift for our friend who introduced it to us in the first place. I know he will love it, as we do!!

My husband recorded this on our dish. He wanted to upgrade to HD however he would loose this concert. So, I being the nice wife, decided to see if I could find this on eBay and there it was!!! I was so excited for him because he can now own a copy as well as the CD set I purchased for him. He plays the CD's in his truck ALL THE TIME, so now I will be watching this every time there is nothing on TV. THANKS!!!!

Great video !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Last Waltz is a piece of music history! This was a concert given on Thanksgiving in San Francisco. Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Van Morrison, and many many more come together for a show and some dinner served during an intermission. There was much more footage but it was lost in a fire. This movie blows me away every time, it's too much talent for just one show!

Great dvd, great price, great seller, have enjoyed the dvd so much. This has been an excellent transaction. Thank you for your injury.

this is an amazing piece in time of a landmark band and a rising director's perspective of their farewell concert. If you are into Americana Music this is a must see
