not many docs that I will stop and watch anytime they are on, but this is one.
GOAT doc for me

Knowing the backstory takes some of the luster off for me, personally, but it's a great concert film

It somehow made me enjoy Neil Young.

Dylan playing Forever Young was amazing.

I love it. One of my favorite movies regardless of genre.

Yeah, partly. I'm just not a big Robbie fan more than anything. Not one shot of Richard singing, but tons of closeups of Robbie? He's a doucher

Awesome, but below Stop Making Sense.

Robbie Robertson = supreme douche

My favorite concert doc. Can't see how anyone can watch it and not walk away a huge Levon Helm fan.

Love it. The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down is one of my favorite songs.

Everything said here. Stop making Sense is tGOAT, but The Last Waltz is great. Would have been a lot better if Marty could have gotten Robertson's wiener out of his mouth.

Same. Supposedly they cut Robbie's mic off any chance they could

From my understanding, Robbie strong-armed the whole "Last Waltz" thing, and the other band members succumbed to the pressure. The other guys wanted to continue, but because that movie practically elevated Robbie into legend status (unfairly), it kinda killed their career moving forward...

Yeah this, he kind of manipulated it so that he would shows as the star of the band. He did them other boys wrong and this was kind of the showcase of that.
