The Last Waltz

I have heard the Last Waltz on cd numerous times, but had never seen it till last night. What an unbelievable group of musicians in the Band and the guests were like a who's who of great musicians. All the guest performances were outstanding especially Van Morrison.....he fricking nailed it.
But what a fricking self-righteous douche Robbie Robertson is. I saw in the credits that he was a producer of the movie but damn if he didn't make himself seem like the only person in the Band. There was not near enough live footage of the other members or interviews. And wtf is up with cutting out on Chest Fever after that badass intro by Garth Hudson?

Yep. He claims credit for writing most of the songs. But everyone else in The Band says it was a collaborative effort on most songs.

I watch the last waltz probably twice a year at least. Just to remind myself how amazing they were

Robbie Robertson was on XM Outlaw Country the other day, and is still so full of himself

I don't know that much about him but he comes off that way to me too. Did you see how he was leering at Joni Mitchell when she comes out to play "Coyote"?

For whatever damn reason, they didn't have enough film to cover the entire concert. They were many sets played that are not to be seen on the movie.

I know a guy who was there. He was a freshman at Berkeley. It was on Thanksgiving night and they served the audience a turkey dinner afterward.

They were all so coked up, plus technical difficulties, that most of the singing (other than Levon) had to be dubbed in the studio - after the fact.
Marty does a good job of making them seem like strong singers at the concert. To be fair they were an awesome live act - just not for that particular show, because there was too much going on.
In fact, when you watch Neil Young, you can see the cocaine, quite clearly, in his nostrils.
My favorites are, of course, Dixie and The Weight (outside of the live show context, with the Staples Singers - back when musicians had this thing called "talent").

My favorite part on the dvd is when Clapton starts shredding and his guitar strap comes unhooked. RR picks up immediately and never skips a beat, like it was planned.Its something that gets missed on audio only.
For those who like Last Waltz, I suggest checking out Love for Levon. Most excellent. Most excellent.

good movie, but bittersweet at the same time. yeah, i'm in the "frick robbie robertson" camp too. the rest of the band probably could've continued on (like they always wanted to, anyway) successfully if it wasn't for 'the last waltz'....IMO, all that movie did was take the wind out of the sails of everyone not named robbie robertson, being that its intention seemingly was to elevate RR to deity status, while minimizing everyone else by comparison.
i still LOL whenever i think of the comment by levon, saying the majority of the time RR's mic wasn't even turned on
