Movie Review: Having been there, this is as close as it gets.
Summary: 4 Stars

I had the good fortune, having just moved to San Francisco, to be the guest of Capitol Records to attend this concert. It was advertised at the time, to be The Band's last performance and Bob Dylan might show up. The tag line was "share The Last Waltz with The Band and 5,000 of their friends." How could i not attend?
Bill Graham had Thanksgiving Dinner served for all 5,000 guests while the Berkeley Promenade Orchestra played waltz music replete with 30 or so couples dressed to the nines. The lights went down and what followed was an endless stream of the biggest names in music in the late 70's. I have to admit that by the time Dylan came out, i was exhausted! The night was beyond magic as everyone from Neil Young to Neil Diamond, Dr. John to Kinky Friedman, Ringo Star to Van Morrison and of course Bob Dylan...then...lets not forget that this was the first time that Neil Young and Steven Stills were on the same stage together following a long running feud. It was a touching moment...sadly the on-stage hug moment was lost in editing. (I had heard that when Neil Young saw the film...he decided to sober up a bit and back off the drug use.) The only other bit about this film that i didn't like is that the tune "The Weight" was performed by the Staple Singers.
I recall waiting and waiting for The Band to play it, but they were saving it for the last song of the night. The problem was that when the time came to play it...The Band had had a little too much fun back stage and sadly were unable to do it justice. The Staples Singers weren't there but were added later.
Having been there was the treat of a lifetime, and having this on Blue-Ray is as close as it gets to the magic of that night. The interviews are great and the music is superb. When the film ends..you will feel like you were there.

Movie Review: great, but...
Summary: 4 Stars

I have had this for a long time on VHS, DVD and now blu-ray. Its one of the best music concert docs ever filmed. My only knock against this blu-ray is that it didnt include the extra footage and audio that the dvd has.

Movie Review: Very Good BD
Summary: 4 Stars

For a relatively old movie, the SQ and PQ is very satisfying and certaily brings back memories of my high school days. I just find fault with the interview segment. the sound of which was soft.
