The Last Waltz (1978)

A documentary of the farewell performance from The Band in 1978. The quiet moments of band member interviews are intercut with some great performances onstage. Featuring a host of very talented special guests (Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Ronnie Hawkins, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, Muddy Waters, Ronnie Wood, Bobby Charles and Neil Young) and directed by Scorsese when he was still good, it's a document of a time long past. For old guys and people like me. Just old guys then, I suppose. :(

4 loads of fanny… off Annie out of 5
