On Friday night, The Last Waltz Tour continued with a performance at Upper Darby, PA’s Tower Theater.
The performance saw a cast of all-star musicians including Warren Haynes, Jamey Johnson, Lukas Nelson, John Medeski, Don Was, Terence Higgins, Dave Malone, Cyril Neville, and Mark Mullins pay tribute to The Band‘s iconic farewell show, which was immortalized in the Martin Scorsese concert documentary, The Last Waltz. In addition to playing through the songs from the legendary show, the performance featured a number of stories from guitarist Bob Margolin, who played with The Band and Muddy Waters at the original Last Waltz show in 1976.
