- Synopsis
- Thanksgiving, 1976, San Francisco's Winterland: the Band performs its last concert after 16 years on the road. Some numbers they do alone, some songs include guest artists from Ronnie Hawkins (their first boss, when they were the Hawks) to Bob Dylan (their last, when as his backup and as a solo group, they came into their own). Scorsese's camera explores the interactions onstage in the making of music. Offstage, he interviews the Band's five members, focusing on the nature of life on the road. The friendships, the harmonies, the hijinks, and the wear and tear add up to a last waltz.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"No other concert film has ever expressed so fervently the erotic root of rock. Seeing it is the opposite of taking a trip down memory lane; it's more like a plunge into the belly of the beast."
-
"An outstanding rock documentary."
-
"The greatest rock concert movie ever made -- and maybe the best rock movie, period."
-
"One of the rare rock films that produces the effect of a live concert: After each number, the audience erupts into applause."
-
"From a technical perspective, it's undoubtedly the most impressive and authentic concert film ever made."
-
"To see the film in this meticulously restored and remixed version is like watching it for the first time, so clear is the sound, so vivid the sights."
-
"The music probably sounds fine on a CD. Certainly it is well-rehearsed. But the overall sense of the film is of good riddance to a bad time."
