The Band - The Last Waltz El Ultimo Rock

Rest in sweet everlasting peace, Richard, Rick and Levon, as well as Pops, Cleotha, Pervis and Yvonne Staples. Of all the wonderful musicians on this stage, only Robbie, Garth and Mavis are still standing as of Feb 2023.

Still here in 2023.

2:07 won’tcha stay an keep Anne Lee company

Absolutely beautiful

Beautiful

This is the best take I know.

My favorite scene in the movie. Like Mavis whispers at the end, “beautiful”.

Fantastic album and movie.

Dude. That harmonization at 2:51 with Levon is unmatched!

I believe I would just about trade my soul to be there and watch this in person

This brings tears to my eyes. Every single time.

Mavis Staples: "Beautiful" I can only agree...

I am and Iove it. Some music that’s the best there was. Love you “The Band”. MMM ✨???. That’s life then you die !

This song is good gettin' where you're goin. But it's best remembering what you did when you got there.

Did Levon ever open his eyes while singing? My fellow Ginger is one of the reasons I started playing drums!! Each one of these players are about the best in the music industry by themselves, but when you put them all together they are a downright miracle!!

Music is magic. ~

Elton John said no drummer should be the lead singer unless his name is Levon Helm

I saw this at the theater here in Charleston WV when it first came out. Back when a theater was an experience. Large auditorium with fantastic acoustics and people had the respect to be quiet and let everyone hear and see a beautiful piece of art on the big screen. I was a teenager. Probably 14, didn’t have my drivers license yet. I absolutely loved every member of the band and every guest musician was incredible and was a treat. A once in a lifetime experience that was a gift to the people who love music and rock and roll. I wish Levon was still here and I could personally thank him for the lifetime of music I have lived since then. I will be 62 in December God willing. I wrote music, played music. Recorded music. Lived it and loved it. Watched my heroes come and go. Music is an ART FORM. And just like an artist who paints . I learned that you can write 100 songs and be fortunate to have a couple of excellent songs and maybe a few good and dozens not good at all . To put it kindly. I’m happy that I had a couple I consider masterpieces. Please forgive me for rambling. It comes with age and the way I lived my life and I inherited a lot of it. Anyway. I want to say Thank you to Robbie Robertson. He is one of my all time favorites. A class act. He has represented Rock and Roll with the highest degree of integrity. Incredibly talented, he has always been one of those people who you would say it’s obvious that his parents raised him right. Thank you for being a roll model . Someone I can look back at and remember that is where I got my start. My mother kept music in our home,. She played every instrument you could think of. From piano. autoharp. Guitar . accordion . Never had a lesson. My dad never played an instrument but he liked Johnny Cash and always had 8 track tapes playing in the Chevy on our beach trips. My big brother Bill the Preacher. Payed guitar and put bands together everywhere we went. He turned me on to iron butterfly, credence Clearwater revival. Simon and Garfunkel. Bob Dylan . Elton John. Always giving me albums for my birthday. One that always stood out was Aerosmith’s hardest drug fueled album when he was away in Seminary school. To anyone who reads this. Thank you for allowing me to ramble on. Because I’m at a point where every day is a gift. Even though times are not good like they used to be. But music still gives me hope.
