For the past couple of weeks, an all-star crew of musicians have been on the road touring in celebration of The Last Waltz and its 40th anniversary. The final concert by The Band is known as one of the best live performances of all time, and artists like Warren Haynes, Don Was, Michael McDonald, Terence Higgins, Jamey Johnson and John Medeski have all come together in its honor.
Last night, the band brought their wares to the Palace Theatre in Albany, NY, treating fans to classic tunes from The Band’s catalog. The Band organist Garth Hudson joined in for his first of two nights of the tour. Thanks to YouTube user Sean Roche, you can watch the majority of the show in the videos below.
