The Last Waltz (1978)
Some Diamonds
Standouts include-- Rick Danko performing a soulful rendition of "It makes no difference".
Eric Clapton jamming with Robbie Robertson shows that Robbie is an excellent, and I believe, under rated guitarist.
"The night they drove old Dixie down" is another great performance with Levon belting it out.
Bob Dylan on "I shall be released" and "Forever young" are moving even though he is obviously renown for his song writing and not vocal abilities.
Muddy Waters, Ronny Hawkins, and Van Morrison also deliver the goods.
There is some gray material, however, for me, the diamonds outweigh the granite.
If you like blues, country rock, or electric folk there will be something for you in this film.
The interviews are interesting but, of course, it's the music that makes the movie.
I rented this for $3 at Blockbuster on DVD. It was worth more.
