“The Last Waltz” The Band

[mylife]

How about Little Feat?

[bagadonutz]

“The Last Waltz” The Band the Last Waltz was Robbie Robertson's idea to end the Band with a big finish. Most of the other guy's wanted to keep it going. Unfortunately, they had so many drug problems they didn't have much to contribute (creatively) other than Garth. Flash forward to the early 90's - Rick, Levon, and Garth got together and made Jericho as "the Band' which has some brilliant songs.

Did it run away?

Close. The single from the album was "Walk Away". Sadly Del himself did the big "Walk Away" after the album was substantially finished, but before release.

i like these threads. Reminds me not all FR’s are sitting at home listening to chamber music and reading the bible.

Or grousing about covid and racism..

Bowie was still working a material after he finished Blackstar. He knew it might be the swansong but no guarantees

[ronniesgal]

true enough! I am not concerned about COVID or racism! Bring on the rock and roll please.

True

Erkel would kick Axl's ass!

I makes me cringe when I post something apolitical and some freeper jumps me and claims I am a closet liberal, devil worshiping homo jerk..

It’s Auntie Poons pie recipe.. ;)

[Larry Lucido]

Please tell me Don Ho Live at Honolulu made it!

[dfwgator]

I will say my favorite band XTC closed with one of their best songs ever, The Wheel and The Maypole.

We are talking final albums here. Any list that leaves off The Last Waltz which was their final tour and had a movie made is just not a credible list.

[Boogieman]

Not just write them, but he let them sing on some of them, with pretty lame results.

[discostu]

Except it’s not their last album. For one thing “last album” is usually referring to studio work. For another they reformed without Robbie 6 years later and went on to make 3 more albums.

Last Waltz should head up another list “we thought we were hanging up, but...”

[ronniesgal]

there are all kinds of thread hi jackers. I stay away from certain subjects as i have no interest. 9 times out of 10, someone will try to steer the conversation away from the subject at hand to bring up something entirely different ( ha! like I did on a music thread, i guess)

[Georgia Girl 2]

With Robbie Robertson it ain’t The Band.
