Twenty-five years ago, on Thanksgiving Day 1976, five thousand cheering fans gathered for the historic farewell concert of The Band: Rick Danko, Garth Hudson, Levon Helm, Richard Manuel and Robbie Robertson. In Martin Scorsese's film, superstars Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Van Morrison join the musicians on-stage, along with one-time collaborator Bob Dylan, and Ringo Starr in an unforgettable finale. Guests include: Neil Diamond, Mavis Staples, Ronnie Hawkins, Paul Butterfield, Emmylou Harris, Dr. John, Pops Staples, Muddy Waters, and Ron Wood. Additional Footage; "Revisiting The Last Waltz" with Martin Scorses and Robbie Robertson. Martin Scorsese's stunning THE LAST WALTZ captures the Band's historic farewell performance in San Francisco on Thanksgiving Day, 1976, and features many revealing interviews with members of the legendary group. Among the many titles included are "The Weight," "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," "Helpless," and "I Shall be Released." Featuring some of rock & roll's most revered figures--including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, and Joni Mitchell--THE LAST WALTZ is unquestionably one of the greatest concert films ever. In what just might be the finest rock & roll concert film ever, THE LAST WALTZ celebrates the final performance by the Band (Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Richard Manuel, Levon Helm, and Garth Hudson). The show took place on Thanksgiving Day in 1976, at San Francisco's Winterland Arena--where the group had played their very first show more than 16 years before. In order to make their farewell even more unforgettable, they recruited numerous guests to join them onstage, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Ronnie Hawkins, Paul Butterfield, Emmylou Harris, Neil Diamond, the Staple Singers, Dr. John, Ringo Starr, Ron Wood, and Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Martin Scorsese, a former roommate of Robbie Robertson's, employs some of the world's greatest cinematographers--including Michael Chapman, Vilmos Zsigmond, and Laszlo Kovacs--to film the set in a way that captures the show's sweat and energy with a powerful intimacy. Interspersed into the songs are a series of interviews with the Band's members, who recall their early days playing for empty bars and their emergence as major players in the rock & roll game. THE LAST WALTZ is a thrilling concert film, mandatory viewing even for those unfamiliar with the Band or rock music in general. Theatrical Release: April 26, 1978.

The Band rocks perfectly behind r&r greats and their own fine songs. Interviews and the best concert film of all time. The DVD expands from the VHS version, adding "outtakes" and more. In addition, the CD adds two new discs of new unreleased songs.

 Must see for fans
All the famous guests add to the show but it is the completely amazing live performance by The Band that makes this movie worth watching over and over again.
I doubt that such a versatile and talented group of musicians has existed before or since these guys.
Buy this movie!!!

One of the BEST
The Last Waltz is superb, this is a film that just makes you feel good. It reflects the many talents of The Band and their guest (many who are legends). One of my favorite - Van Morrison. Anyone who grew up in the seventies or wants to revisit that time, this film is for you. Highly recommend.

The Godfather of Grunge is in essential (read: grungy) form on this acclaimed live video, widely considered to be the best record of Neil Young's spectacular concert presence. Filmed in 1978, Young and his backing band, Crazy Horse, rip through sixteen of his best songs, including "Like A Hurricane," "Cinnamon Girl," and the modern classic, "After the Goldrush." RUST NEVER SLEEPS is one of those rare concert films that renews one's faith in rock and roll.

Last Waltz review
$22.75 
Very few Led Zeppelin performances were caught on camera during the band's life-span, but the footage that has been preserved for posterity is collected on this release. With a running time of over five-and-a-half hours, this is the definitive word on Zep's global stage-straddling performances. The footage is taken from London's Royal Albert Hall in January 1970, London's Earls Court in May 1975, Knebworth in August 1979, and Madison Square Garden in July 1973. Guitarist Jimmy Page has taken great care to restore, remix, and remaster the sound from these shows, providing a visual and sonic assault that offers indisputable proof of Led Zeppelin's reputation as a rock & roll behemoth. Additional footage comes in the shape of several television interviews, a bootleg shot of the band performing "Heartbreaker," behind the scenes footage from Knebworth, and a whole lot more.

Last Waltz video
$14.55
In the summer of 1970, a rock festival travelled across Canada by luxury train, stopping in Toronto, Calgary, and Winnipeg. Lured by the promise of a mobile party, Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, The Band, Buddy Guy, The Flying Burrito Brothers, and Ian & Sylvia signed on to the tour for a fraction of their usual fees. The performances and the stars' antics on the train were both filmed, only to be locked away for 25 years. The colorful and thrilling results, seen here for the first time, capture these artists at their loosest and most natural. Fans of Joplin and the Dead will find reason to rejoice in the playful footage of these icons enjoying each other's company on the train, as well as their blistering stage performances. The events are also put into context through new interviews with the surviving musicians, including Buddy Guy, the Grateful Dead's Bob Weir, and Mickey Hart, who speak frankly and humorously about the tour. Once buried in reputation by the era's other historic concert events such as Woodstock, or the Rolling Stones at Altamont--FESTIVAL EXPRESS is proof that a monumental live event in '60s rock has been long overlooked.

$22.75
Ignacio Lopez Tarso, a Mexican actor whose lengthy career spanned over 50 years, turned in one of his best performances in this 1964 film. Tarso plays a man crippled by poverty who takes in a fighting rooster that is in even worse shape than he is. The man nurses the rooster back to fighting form and soon has the cockerel back in the ring. The dusty cockfighting circles bring riches to the man as his bird wins duel after duel. With a large prize in sight, the man teams with a powerful gangster and the gangster's mistress, a singer who the poor protagonist falls for. This cockfighting classic is notable for the incredible talent involved in the writing team. The script is co-written by Nobel Prize-winner Gabriel Garcia Marquez and acclaimed novelist Carlos Fuentes and is based on a novel by legendary Latin American author Juan Rulfo.
A poor man nurses a near-dead fighting rooster, or cockerel, back to life. The cockerel regains its glory in the ring, bringing its owner fame, wealth, and romance. Seduced by the glamour of the cock-fighting arenas, this beginner gamesman is tempted into a partnership with a rich gambler and his free-wheeling songstress. Stars Ignacio Lopez Tarso, Lucha Villa, and Narciso Busquets.
