The Last Waltz

40 years ago today...

On November 25th, 1976, THE BAND gave a spectacular farewell performance at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco.

The Band were four Canadians and an American who developed their own unique sound.


Left to right: Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko and Richard Manuel.

The Band invited a few of their friends to perform along with them at their final farewell. Friends such as:

Bob Dylan
Eric Clapton
Van Morrison
Neil Young
Joni Mitchell
Muddy Waters
Ronnie Hawkins
Dr. John
... and more.



Captured on film by Martin Scorsese and released in 1978, The Last Waltz is The Mistress's favourite concert film.

What's your fave concert film, Bitches?

He Shall Be Levon

May 26, 1940 ~ April 19, 2012

He was the only American in Canada’s greatest band…The Band.

In his memory, I’ll be watching my favourite concert movie tonight, “The Last Waltz.”

Levon Helm on drums and lead vocals performing “Ophelia” in “The Last Waltz”…


A toast to you, Levon: A great musician (and a good kisser.)

Goodnight, Midnight Rambler.

To keep you Bitches amused while I’m off tonight, tell us what concert movie you recommend.
