THE LAST WALTZ
"This film should be played loud!" On Thanksgiving Day, 1976, The Band gave its farewell concert at Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. The all-star lineup sharing the bill with The Band included Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Emmylou Harris, Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, the Staple Singers and Ringo Starr. Filmmaker Martin Scorsese, hired to shoot the documentary on the basis of his rock-scored 1973 film MEAN STREETS, captured this once-in-a-lifetime concert event. Among the large camera crew working for cinematographer Michael Chapman were ace lensers Vilmos Zsigmond, László Kovács and John Toll. DIR Martin Scorsese; SCR Mardik Martin; PROD Robbie Robertson.
