Better then I remember

I've watched this movie everytime I've seen it playing on tv. But watching it on Blue Ray has really shown me how great it truly is to watch. The Blue Ray sound will make this worth buying alone. I highly recommend it.

Wonderful concert

Somehow I had managed to get through life never having seen the movie version of "The Last Waltz" concert until just recently. I regret not having watched this sooner. The Band and almost all of their guest performers were fabulous. The one exception is Neil Diamond - while I think Neil Diamond is a great musician with plenty to offer us, his presence just didn't seem to be a good fit at this concert (and this has been discussed in other reviews). I did find Robbie Robertson's ego trip with all of the focus on himself quite annoying, but aside from too much footage of Robbie this is a great concert movie. The music is upbeat and very energetic, and I loved watching all of the great musicians that I grew up listening to. Definitely watch this concert!

Every Baby Boomer should see this DVD. I've watched parts of it over and over. The Band, Joni Mitchell, Neal Young, Bob Dylan. All the great singer/song writers of the time. Excellent.

This is the best music DVD I own by far. The Band was probably the best group in America and it's a shame that they don't get more credit to that fact. I've watched this DVD several times and it rocks, yes, R.R. gets the lion's share of the interviews but there is always someone in the group that is the spokesperson. That said, the filming of this concert is heads above anything else shot at that time and better than many shot today. The only other DVD that comes close is Flogging Mollie's Whiskey for Breakfast. The music is superb and the line-up is amazing, Rick Danko's Stage Fright may be the high point of the show, it's worth the price of admission for that alone. I always wind up cranking this one way up. Many, many bands break up for personal reasons, I'm just glad that we have this to watch and listen to.

Classic Live Show that everyone should See

This is a great live show that any music fan would enjoy! an endless list of guest appearances coinciding with great music! I highly recommend watching this dvd to get a glimpse at what this experience must have been like!

A classic

If you want to see & hear what to 60s & 70s rock music was like, this is the concert film to get. Just look at the list of performers - this is defenitely the A-list. Hope you can connect your DVD player into your stereo since this DVD is best viewed at full power. A great concert film! The best I've seen.

Excellent film!!!

The film start with a review of the own group about the begining and how they comes to make their carrers. The performances are very exciting and the sound is pretty good!. I recommended this film because you can see not only a traditional concert, but a film-documentary about great artist of the 60's, and of course, in 1979 they was still young, still on tour, so the performances are perfect!.
