SEHR nah dran!

Winterland Ballroom, eine Veranstaltung von The Band.

The Last Waltz

On Thanksgiving Day 1976, The Band invited a stellar lineup of friends to join them in a final concert at Bill Graham’s Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. And what a show it was! Joining them were Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, Paul Butterfield and a host of others including two of The Band’s former frontmen: Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan. The 2002 digitally-remastered DVD is a delight with restored sound that brings this momentous concert—perhaps the greatest rock event ever–into your living room. Director Martin Scorcese put together a world-class phalanx of Hollywood cinematographers to create the beautifully composed and framed performances. His low-key interviews with the central musicians include wonderful anecdotes from 16 years on the road along with the rueful perspectives of accomplished musicians who have perhaps traveled that road a little too long. The DVD also includes a fine jam that occurred late in the show and wasn’t included in the theatrically-released version. During the final minutes of the jam there is audio but no video—the 35mm cinema cameras weren’t designed for the hours-long duty they had been subjected to and were at the point of meltdown requiring them to be shut down. As a disquieting side note, Band drummer Levon Helm, in his book, This Wheel’s on Fire, bad mouths the film as being misleading. Guitarist Robbie Robertson, he charges, stole the limelight and the music publishing rights from his fellow bandmates leading to a decades-long feud. Helm says that contrary to on-screen depictions of Robertson cueing and leading the band, in fact keyboardist Garth Hudson ran the show musically. He also maintains that Robertson’s microphone was often shut off due to his tendency to sing off pitch. Most damning is Helm’s contention that, in cahoots with The Band’s manager Albert Grossman, Robertson stole the publishing rights and resulting royalties from his former colleagues claiming the authorship of songs that were the products of group effort.
