THE BAND - LAST WALTZ (3LP'S) -1978-FIRST UK PRESS- WARNER-K66076 Rare British original of the iconic concert. "The Last Waltz" is a concert by the Canadian-American rock band The Band, held on American Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1976, at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. The Last Waltz was advertised as the band's "farewell concert",[2] and the band was joined at the concert by over a dozen special guests, including their previous employers Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan, as well as Paul Butterfield, Bobby Charles, Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Emmylou Harris, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, The Staple Singers, Ringo Starr, Muddy Waters, Ronnie Wood and Neil Young. The musical director of the concert was the original producer of the band John Simon. The concert was produced and hosted by Bill Graham and directed by Martin Scorsese, who turned it into a documentary film of the same name, released in 1978. "The Last Waltz" is one of the best, if not the best, rock films ever made, which reveals and energizes a classical band at the peak of its popularity." Chicago Tribune film critic Michael Wilmington calls it "the greatest rock concert film ever made, and arguably the best rock film in history."Terry Lawson of the Detroit Free Press comments, "This is one of the greatest films." Total Film considers it "the greatest concert film ever made." Janet Maslin of the New York Times gave it a negative assessment, saying that it "says so little about the end-of-an-era feeling it hints at... that it is impossible to perceive "The Last Waltz" otherwise than as a passing movie." However, in 2003, The New York Times included the film in its list of the "1000 Best Films of All Time," and Rolling Stone called it "The Greatest Concert Film of All Time."
