The Last Waltz
Under discussion:
The Last Waltz
(1978)
The Last Waltz
(1978) is a documentary of The Band’s last concert interspersed with interviews with the group. The Band in concert is superb, with Rick Danko and Levon Helm singing their hearts out. Some of the guests are worse than I remember from an earlier viewing—Dylan fumbling for the right key, Paul Butterfield never getting untracked—and some just as good as I remember—the fabulous
V
an “The Man” Morrison. But the interviews are terrible. The Band would much rather play music. Except for Robbie Robertson, they certainly aren’t fluid conversationalists, and Robertson often seems a bit insincere. They didn’t want to have the cameras around even though it was, if I remember correctly, their idea. But on stage they prove an amazing set of musicians.
