Product Description: Even taking into account inflation, it's ironic in this era of $250 concert tickets that critics harped when the Band charged $25 for their legendary November 1976 farewell show at San Francisco's Winterland. That price not only included Thanksgiving dinner, but also numerous guest superstars who'd influenced, worked with, and/or shared the Canadian roots of Robbie Robertson and crew. What transpired was a grand celebration of North American musical forms. There are numerous definitive performances here--from Van Morrison's goose-bump-inducing "Caravan" and solo rendition of the beautiful Irish standard "Tura Lura Lural" (Celtic music inspired those Appalachians in the first place) to Bob Dylan and "the Hawks" delivering a pop-metallic "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down," first captured on the Royal Albert Hall Concert tapes. But because this new fleshed-out version--produced and compiled by Robertson--includes surprises (late blues legend Muddy Waters's endearing take on Louis Jordan's "Caledonia"; current blues legend Dylan's "Hazel"), treasures ("This Wheels on Fire," Neil Young's "Four Strong Winds"), and two jam sessions that just don't add much, the new box set simply matches and enhances--but doesn't top--the original three-LP version of this wonderful slice of rock & roll history. --Bill Holdship
Customer Reviews

5 stars It is a fantastic CD set.
I only wish I could have been there! The Band and their friends out on a great show and the these CDs are the next best thing to having been there.


5 stars Great! The Band is an icon!
Anyone who has purchased The Last Waltz in the abridged versions really needs to consider adding this full expanded set to their libraries.


5 stars If you were born in the 60s . . .
Here's my story. I'm about 10 years too young to have caught The Band in their heyday. Here comes the 21st century. Teenagers. Video games. PS3. Bluray. I got The Last Waltz movie as a freebie. It sat in the cabinet for about 6 months. Eventually, I put it in the player . . . Honest to God this has got to be the best film and album of all time. Unbelievable. I'm floored. Buy this album without hesitation and throw everything else out.


5 stars simply outstanding
A great rendition of a historic concert, "The Last Waltz" boxset is a perfect addition to the movie DVD, and a real must-have to all Band fans. That's a piece of Rock history right there, don't miss it.


5 stars Fabulous music!
The Band's "The Last Waltz" concert still sounds as fresh and innovative now as it did when it was first released ~30 years ago. It's amazing that none of the music has gone out of date. I like having all of the extra tracks that weren't released previously. Many of the best musicians of that era performed at the concert.
