Movie Reviews of The Last Waltz [Blu-ray]Movie Review: Bury me with this DVD when I die Summary: 5 Stars
The Last Waltz is my favorite concert of all time, and I think I'll listen to this one to my final days. Amazing performance by the Band, of course (The Night they Drove ole Dixie Down, etc), but also superstars like Neil Young (Joni Mitchell on backup vocals, wow), Eric Clapton, Muddy Waters, Neil Diamond and many more. In many ways this concert represents the peak of a rock and roll era, conducted by some of the most talented musicians on the planet at their peak. No, it wasn't perfect--stoned band members being interviewed and too much focus/attention on Robertson, but otherwise a near flawless gem.
Movie Review: Last Waltz Summary: 5 Stars
The Last Waltz [Blu-ray]I really enjoyed the format used in this film. The singers were interviewed and explained alot about the songs and their life in the band. Also enjoyable were numerous well known singers that joined in the band for a song. I don't think that anyone who didn't experience the 60's would be very interested with this film however it could be a good learning experience. Ordering the DVD was easy and it arrived within a few days. The DVD was new and much cheaper than buying it in a store.
Movie Review: Brilliant! Summary: 5 Stars
Want to see what the '60s generation was all about, musically? THIS IS IT. Yeah Woodstock was a landmark film. Music wise, this is better in so many ways. Performance, sound quality, and Martin Scorsase's brilliant filming. In blu-ray video, it's like a time capsule. The fact that I was a part of this generation and the music it produced makes me proud. My favorite part? Joni Mitchell in her prime. Second is a young Neil Young. But of course, it's all about The Band. What an amazing group! We will never see the likes of such talent again. And god bless Richard Manuel.
Movie Review: All you wish for and more Summary: 5 Stars
The movie is the movie. If you have seen it, it is wonderful. Classically done and arguably the best rock and roll documentary made. The Blu-ray edition is what makes this so special. The clarity of the performances both visually and audibly is astonishing. The presence of the performers and the subtle nuances of their performances are presented in this high def format beyond what you could hope for. The bonus interviews with Scorcese and Robertson are also worth a gander. Just to hear the clarity of perspective from a long time after the fact.
Movie Review: Phenomenal Summary: 5 Stars
I saw this on 35mm back in the late 70's on the ship I was stationed on at Pearl Harbor and it blew me away. I recently got the blu-ray and it still blows me away. I'm afraid I didn't pay attention to the picture quality and I don't have surround sound so I'm sorry I can't be of help there. It's the music I loved then and still do, everyone from Dr. John to Eric Clapton. But it was The Band and especially Robbie Robertson that stand out. If you love good music played at it's best, you'll love The Last Waltz.
