All-Star Musicians Come Together For The 40th Anniversary Of “The Last Waltz”

Forty years ago, an all star group of musicians got together to celebrate the final performance of The Band. They called it The Last Waltz, which quickly became one of the greatest live shows, and subsequently one of the greatest concert films, of all time. The show has been recreated many times over since its 1976 debut, but the 40th anniversary has certainly inspired a whole new host of The Last Waltz celebrations.

Earlier in the year, Bob Weir, Dr. John, Lucinda Williams and more were on hand for a Last Waltz celebration. Another celebration took place in Colorado last weekend, with Paul Hoffman leading a beautiful version of “Forever Young” (Watch here). Last night, it was The Capitol Theatre’s turn to host, and they put together an astounding lineup that featured Phosphorescent, Nels Cline, Jeff Chimenti, Scott Metzger, Sam Cohen, Natalie Prass, Joe Russo, Dave Dreiwitz, and so many more!

Fortunately, Sean Roche was on hand to collect videos from this one-of-a-kind showcase. Take a look at his footage below.
