    • Quotes

      [Speaking about Ronnie Hawkins]

      Himself: He called me up, and I said, "Sure I'd like a job. What does it mean? What do I do?" And he said, "Well, son, you won't make much money, but you'll get more pussy than Frank Sinatra."

    • Crazy credits
      At the beginning of the film it just says: "THIS FILM SHOULD BE PLAYED LOUD!"
    • Alternate versions
      The DVD features an outtake of the jam session onstage towards the end of the concert.

    Without doubt the best lineup for a free concert that also served turkey.
    If you, as a music lover, have ever wondered what it would be like to see a concert starring the very cream of the crop from the sixties and seventies, you have that opportunity now. Martin Scorcese has produced a film that should be mandatory viewing for anyone who calls themselves a rock lover. While all the performances are memorable, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton and, of course, The Band are incredible. Beyond the music, the very premise of the concert is amazing: A big bang to end the era, thanksgiving dinner for thousands, a wicked lineup, great music and some really enlightening interviews. The Last Waltz is a must see if you are a fan of the rock&roll genre, as The Band and friends not only play their hearts out, but also pay tribute to the sound that we all know and love.

    Watch it, you won't regret the time spent.
