Various other artists perform with The Band Muddy Waters, Paul Butterfield, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Dr. John, Neil Diamond and Eric Clapton. Genres covered include blues, rock and roll, New Orleans R B, Tin Pan Alleypop, folk and rock. Further genres are explored in segments filmed later on a sound stage with Emmylou Harris country and the Staple Singers soul and gospel. The film begins with The Band performing the last song of the evening, their cover version of the Marvin Gaye hit Dont Do It, as an encore. The film then flashes back to the beginning of the concert, and follows it more or less chronologically. The Band is backed by a large horn section and performs many of its hit songs, including Up on Cripple Creek, Stage Fright, and The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down. The live songs are interspersed with studio segments and interviews conducted by director Martin Scorsese in which The Bands members reminisce about the groups history. Robertson talks about Hudson joining the band on the condition that the other members pay him 1. The classically trained Hudson could then tell his parents that he was a music teacher instead of merely a rock and roll musician. Robertson also describes the surreal experience of playing in a burnt out nightclub owned by Jack Ruby. Manuel recalls that some of the early names for The Band included the Honkies, and the Crackers. Because they were simply referred to as the band by Dylan and their friends and neighbors in Woodstock, New York, they figured that was just what they would call themselves. Danko is seen giving Scorsese a tour of The Bands Shangri La studio, and he plays a recording of Sip the Wine, a track from his then forthcoming 1. Rick Danko. A recurring theme brought up in the interviews with Robertson is that the concert marks an end of an era for The Band, that after 1. Thats what The Last Waltz is sixteen years on the road. The numbers start to scare you, Robertson tells Scorsese. I mean, I couldnt live with twenty years on the road. I dont think I could even discuss it. OriginseditThe idea for a farewell concert came about early in 1. Richard Manuel was seriously injured in a boating accident. Robbie Robertson then began giving thought to leaving the road, envisioning The Band becoming a studio only band, similar to the Beatles decision to stop playing live shows in 1. Though the other band members did not agree with Robertsons decision, the concert was set at Bill Grahams Winterland Ballroom, where The Band had made its debut as a group in 1. Originally, The Band was to perform on its own, but then the notion of inviting Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan was hatched and the guest list grew to include other performers. Concertedit. The Band, with Bob Dylan and guests, during I Shall Be Released. Promoted and organized by Bill Graham, whose home turf was Winterland and who had a long association with The Band, the concert was an elaborate affair. Starting at 5 0.

They were backed by a large horn section with charts arranged by Allen Toussaint and other musicians. They were then joined by a succession of guest artists, starting with Ronnie Hawkins. As the Hawks, The Band served as Hawkins backing band in the early 1. Dr. John took a seat at the piano for his signature song, Such a Night. He then switched to guitar and joined Bobby Charles on Down South in New Orleans. A blues set was next with harmonica player Paul Butterfield, Muddy Waters, pianist Pinetop Perkins and Eric Clapton. As Clapton was taking his first solo on Further on Up the Road, his guitar strap came loose. Clapton said Rob and Robertson picked up the solo without missing a beat. Neil Young followed, singing Helpless with backing vocals by Joni Mitchell who remained off stage. According to Robertsons commentary on The Last Waltz DVD, this was so her later appearance in the show would have more of an impact. Mitchell came on after Young and sang three songs, two with the backing of Dr. John on congas. Neil Diamond was next, introducing his Dry Your Eyes by saying, Im only gonna do one song, but Im gonna do it good. Robertson had also produced Diamonds album Beautiful Noise the same year and co wrote Dry Your Eyes, which during the concert he hailed as a great song. Diamonds appearance was not popular with all of the other performers. In his autobiography, Levon Helm was critical of the inclusion of Diamond, not discerning any musical connection to The Band.
