The Last Waltz is probably the best concert movie ever made.

LOVED their work. “Up on Cripple Creek” “Night They Drove Old Dixie Down”

What a loss.

I watched The Last Waltz not long ago, great film. And I remember it used to be on A&E regularly back in the many years before that channel became another mindless Disney entity.

Allegedly, The Hawk told Robbie Robertson of The Band "You won't make much money but you'll get more p#$$y than Frank Sinatra".
