 | It was a star studded evening indeed. Some very intimate and memorable performances. Neil Diamond totally stole the show. Out of place? The only way Neil was out of place was that he blew everyone off the stage and gave everyone a glimpse of true rock & roll royalty. |

| The Band is the greatest musical group ever and this movie proves it. They play their own great songs with perfection and back up almost ever genre of music (blues,country,rock,bluegrass,etc..) even better than their own. The music is just amazing and so are the stories. |

| This "movie" has taken on a life of its own and for what reason I do not know. It is average performances by everyone involved except for Richard Manuel, Garth Hudson, Levon Helm and Rick Danko. Those four were the backbone to Robbie Robertson's spineless behavior, then and now. I personally would not put another dime in Robertson's pocket and anyone who believes he is a songwriter, a singer or a guitar player hasn't a clue as to what any of those things are so buying music is a waste of your time. After all, it was Robbie who stuck Neil Diamond into the mix that night. That should have been clue #1... |

| Don't you wish you could take out an add in every newspaper in the world and simply say "HEY!!!! PEOPLE!!! BUY THIS DVD!!!" ?
I've just spent about an hour reading some of the customer reviews for The Last Waltz. Simply put...I wish I could sit down and watch this movie (again!) with each and every one of you folks! Oh, there are a few I might leave out; particularly the lady who claimed that Neil Diamond was the "only REAL star" of the movie! :)))))) Stop!! You're killing me!!!
Thanks to everyone who brought out their memories about this film. The 'little things' that we all noticed when we watch it. The Staple sisters' whispered "Beautiful". Claptons broken guitar strap (ROBBIE!!); Robbies mindblowing guitar lick at the end of Stagefright; Richards' gruff voice and twinkle in his eye on The Shape I'm In; but mostly for me.........Ricks' soulfull performance on It Makes No Difference. My wife had just left me a few weeks before, so listen to the words from "Well, I love you so much......." etc. You'll see why I cried! (and I still do)
God, I love this movie! And I love everyone who feels the same way. Someday, they'll accomplish time travel; and when they do....guess where I'm going!! |
