The best music movie I've ever seen. The end of the beat generation? Some changes? San Francisco... The last song of the concert "Don't Do It" comes the first song of the movie. It's deep.
One of the best Music Documentaries ever made - If not the Best - with a genius of Music Superstars - and not forgetting ''The Band'' ! What a night this must have been for anyone lucky enough to have had the honour to be at this concert!!
This is what you do when your band wants to call it a day. document it and do a farewell show with all your best friends. Classic and this is Canadian.
has got some of the best actors and also starring some of the best legends from in the music industry that had ever got to fame
The thing I love best about this movie is you can sit through and watch it, and it's a very enjoyable experience, and you can also leave it play and clean your house. The music is lovely.......except for Neil Young...he can fuck right off.
Martin Scorsese directs this part interview, part live show with members of ?The Band? on their last gig together after 18 years on the road.
An impressive musical line up offers performances from Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Van Morrison etc etc.
For those who enj...( read more)
Um portentoso documentário musical, superiormente realizado por mestre Scorsese com escassos meios técnicos.
pure joy from The Band's last concert. Scorsese intertwines some of the best concert footage with amusing anecdotes of the boys just being themselves. if Neil Young's "helpless" and the Band's "the night they drove old dixie down" don't give you the chills, see a doctor.
Like no other music film ever made. Beautifully shot and directed by Martin Scorsese this film focuses on the last concert by Canadian/American rock band The Band. The only thing that lets this film down is too much time is spent on dull guest stars who don't quite match up to th...( read more)
This was completely fucking awesome! There was so much damn talent all over the place! The Band themselves of course, with Ronnie, Manuel, Garth, Danko, Levon, then you bring people like Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Dr. John, Muddy Waters, Bob Dylan, and so many great others and y...( read more)
really great! beautiful clarity, gorgeous songs. that's about it. feels like you're there on stage with'em and then some.
Many call this the best Rock film of all time. I can't really agree, for it is quite contrived. Nonetheless, there are some good performances here definitely worth checking out.
I don't really much like The Band, but I find this movie strangely engaging.
What a wonderful jam session and a look into the life of The Band. The iconic musical performances are heartfelt & fantastic! Rock and Roll Heaven.
Martin Scorsese makes his films with pure passion, no matter what! Rock On!
I love The Band, I love Dylan, I love Scorsese....I love this movie!. Ok so Robertson is a bit control freak as comes across here, but the music is just awesome. Shot in 35mm so its a proper film, Scorsese got world class directors of photography like Lazlo Kovacs and Michael Cha...( read more)
Even with their final concert recorded for posterity in Scorsese's seminal film, The Band have still somehow managed to fade into relative obscurity: adored by the music cognoscenti, but hardly a household name. In their day, however, they were hugely influential, championed by p...( read more)
I am not much for music documentaries, but this is interesting as it is so much more about 'The Band' than it is about Scorsese or the fans. It is all about the music, and the performances are mind blowing. Watching Muddy Waters shake the stage was one of the most electrifying ci...( read more)
Ridiculous concert... just look at the lineup. That was enough to keep me entertained throughout. It got a little dry after awhile though. The band interviews weren't that interesting in terms of content, but there were some good off-stage moments. I would recommend this for the ...( read more)
An overall great tribute to the last concert of the Band. Though I didn't like all of the music throughout the film I still enjoyed watching it. The chemistry of the performing artists is fantastic and scorsese brings the entire experience into something very personal. Its a g...( read more)
How does Scorsese do it? The Band gained a lot of their fanbase from this film alone.
Read somewheres that bob dylan was "jealous" of Neil Young's song Heart Of Gold. Thought that Neil had stolen his voice and soul or style. I guess that's why Neil chose to sing Helpless instead.....
Great concert doc. Scorsese does it right and scores some great footage.
The songs were 50/50 for me as I've heard maybe 5 Band songs before seeing this, so I didn't have too much in the expectations dept. Some I absolutely loved and others I absolutely hated. I love Bob Dylan, but I hated him here. There wasn't enough interview footage in between son...( read more)
"Gee" l did not know about Neil diamond in the band the Last Waltz, I'll just have to see this movie l love good ole Neil as soon as l see the movie l'll give my ratings on it.
Classic!!! Bob Dylan was peak!! Neil Diamond ws cool!! Joni Mitchell was great as usual, Neil Young was Legend with his own song "Helpless". For rock fans, you can't miss this for any reasons. One of the greatest concert of all time.
Scorsese did it great.. i love the ending c...( read more)
The greatest rock n' roll movie ever made. The Band's last concert is filled with incredible rock stars. Not just the end for a band, but the end of an era. Scorsese brilliantly captures the last few moments of the 70s.
A documentary about The Band's last concert. Some great music, and a lot of coked up musicians.
What an awesome movie if your a fan of The Band then you'll like this movie.
Okay, my opinion: I love the way this film is shot. I've seen a lot of rock documentaries and this one is special. That said...
...um, I don't really like The Band. I'm sorry!
