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. Enlisting seven camera operators (including renowned cinematographers Vilmos Zsigmond, LászIó Kovács, and MichaeI Chapman) and art director Boris Leven to design the strikingIy theatricaI sets, Scorsese created a grandIy 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 DyIan, Joni MitcheII, Van Morrison, the Staple Singers, Muddy Waters, and Neil Young—lives on as an aImost religious expression of the transcendent possibilities of rock and rolI.
