THE CRITERION COLLECTION PRESENTS: THE LAST WALTZ
Considered the greatest concert movie of all time, Martin Scorsese's documentary of the Band's legendary final performance reinvented the way live music is captured on film.
More than just one of the greatest concert films ever made, The Last Waltz is an at once ecstatic and elegiac summation of a vital era in American rock music. Invited to capture the farewell performance of the legendary group, the Band at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on Thanksgiving, 1976, Martin Scorsese conceived a new kind of music documentary. Enlisting seven camera operators (led by director of photography Michael Chapman, and also including renowned cinematographers Vilmos Zsigmond and Lszl Kovcs) and production designer Boris Leven to design the strikingly theatrical sets, Scorsese created a grandly immersive experience that brings viewers onstage and inside the music itself. That music performed by the Band and a host of other generation-defining artists, including Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, the Staple Singers, Muddy Waters, and Neil Young lives on as an almost religious expression of the transcendent possibilities of rock and roll.Alternate uncompressed stereo soundtrack Two audio commentaries, featuring Scorsese; members of the Band; members of the production crew; and performers Dr. John, Ronnie Hawkins, and Mavis Staples New interview with Scorsese, conducted by critic David Fear Documentary from 2002 about the making of the film Outtakes Interview from 1978 with Scorsese and Robertson Trailer and TV spot English subtitles for the deaf and hard of hearing PLUS: An essay by critic Amanda Petrusich

I've enjoyed the Last Waltz, picks and tin. I miss them not recording and releasing new material. But, I thank you for the timely shipment. I enjoyed opening the box. Thanks.
