Principally recorded live at Winterland Arena, San Francisco,
California on November 26, 1976. Originally released on Warner
Brothers (3146). Includes liner notes by David Fricke.THE LAST WALTZ
is the document of the Band's 1976 farewell performance, filmed as
a documentary by Martin Scorsese, capturing the all-star concert
for posterity. Sort of a rock version of "This Is Your Life," THE
LAST WALTZ brought together performers from all phases of the
group's career, giving them a chance to pay tribute and jam with
the Band one last time.Many of the group's classics are reprised,
but there are some notable standouts. Legendary Canadian rocker
Ronnie Hawkins, who the Band backed in their early days as The
Hawks, offers "Who Do You Love." After their tenure with Hawkins,
the group went on to accompany Bob Dylan on some of his earliest
electric sessions. Dylan returns the favor by performing a strong
folk-blues medley beginning and ending with a fiery, rocking
version of "Baby Let Me Follow You Down." Muddy Waters gives a
lesson in the blues on "Mannish Boy," with the late great Paul
Butterfield on harmonica. Eric Clapton offers his own polished
version of the blues with a blistering "Further On Up The Road."
Emmylou Harris, a highlight in any setting, duets on the gentle
waltz "Evangeline." Dr. John's accurate and rousing "Such A Night"
brings a bit of Mardi Gras to the proceedings. Joni Mitchell
provides another pleasant change of pace, introducing her jazz-
inflected sound with "Coyote," and joining in on soulful soaring
harmonies with Neil Young on his classic "Helpless." Even Neil
Diamond joins in on the fun, on a song he co-wrote with Robbie
Robertson (who produced Diamond's BEAUTIFUL NOISE). Although not
the last track on the disc, the Dylan-led all-star rendition of
the Band/Dylan classic "I Shall Be Released" is the emotional
climax of one of the most important performances in contemporary music.
