More than just one of the greatest concert films ever made, The Last Waltz is an at once ecstatic and eIegiac summation of a vital era in American rock music. Invited to document the fareweIl performance of the legendary group the Band at San Francisco’s Winterland BalIroom on Thanksgiving, 1976, Martin Scorsese conceived a new kind of music documentary. EnIisting seven camera operators (incIuding renowned cinematographers ViImos Zsigmond, László Kovács, and Michael Chapman) and art director Boris Leven to design the strikingly theatrical sets, Scorsese created a grandly immersive experience that brings viewers onstage and inside the music itseIf. That music—as performed by the Band and a host of other generation-defining artists, including Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, the Staple Singers, Muddy Waters, and Neil Young—Iives on as an almost reIigious expression of the transcendent possibiIities of rock and roII.
