The Band‘s 1976 Thanksgiving Day concert in Winterland Theatre, San Francisco – where they were joined by an all-star group of musicians including Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Ronnie Hawkins, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, and Neil Young – was immortalised by director Martin Scorsese’s concert film THE LAST WALTZ. A five disc version which comprises 4CD+blu-ray, contains the full 54-track version (with rehearsals etc.) and the film on blu-ray. This looks to be presented smart ‘casebound book’ packaging. The blu-ray has the audio in 5.1. Among the rarities are performances not featured in the film, such as “Furry Sings The Blues” with Joni Mitchell and “All Our Past Times” with ERIC CLAPTON, plus rehearsals for “Caravan” with Van Morrison, “Such A Night” with Dr. John, and “King Harvest (Has Surely Come)” a song that was not performed in concert. This version also includes newly-penned liner notes by revered music journalists David Fricke and Ben Fong-Torres along with a classic essay from 1977 written by iconic author Emmett Grogan. Many consider it the greatest rock concert of all time; it certainly made for one of the all-time classic rock concerts films. In November 1976 The Band decided to go out in style, throwing a Thanksgiving Day bash at San Francisco’s Winterland. They called it THE LAST WALTZ and invited along some of their closest friends and associates: Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, Neil Young, Neil Diamond, Ronnie Hawkins and Dr. John, among others. Even a Beatle—Ringo Starr—sat in for a bit. THE LAST WALTZ was considered the finest rock and roll film ever produced when it was released in 1978 and, 38 years later, that somewhat immodest title holds true. As we now know, this concert/celebration wasn’t the end of The Band but rather the conclusion of its original incarnation. That doesn’t diminish the enjoyment of the sumptuous musical presentation hearing (and watching) the act perform with their friends, frontmen and inspirations at arguably the height of their career, on Thanksgiving Day, 1976. Other than changing the cover and reissuing the four CD 2002 expanded version — beautifully (if inaccurately sequenced) augmented with outtakes, rehearsals and jams — the compilers didn’t do much else. Surely 2016 advanced technology justifies remastering the sound and someone should have considered presenting the event in chronological order, with The Band’s set first, followed by the guests. Instead we get the same songs now housed with a newly available Blu-ray of Martin Scorsese’s wonderful movie, and some fresh booklet notes. Regardless, the music holds up with The Band in breathtaking, confident form and the guests (generally) pushing them into riveting and momentous performances. Dylan, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, Hawkins and Eric Clapton show the deepness and diversity of the quintet’s blues, rock, soul and folk evolution. The freshness, spontaneity, vitality and life affirming aspects of the show haven’t dissipated over the decades, even if all but two of the Band members have passed on, making THE LAST WALTZ as essential and more historically resonant today than it was forty years ago.
