The soundtrack from the Martin Scorsese documented film The Last Waltz was the final concert of the legendary Canadian-American rock group The Band. It was Thanksgiving day 1976 and if that wasn’t special enough, a wide variety of musical genres performed on stage at one of Rocks greatest venues Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. Mr. Scorsese was a huge fan of The Band and had already made his name with directing Mean Streets & Taxi Driver. The Band had already made their mark as the backup band for Bob Dylan in the 60s when he went electric. However, they gained international acclaim and notoriety on their own writing and recording a number of popular albums with hit songs and became famous for staging outstanding live concerts.
