The Last Waltz

Martin Scorsese's documentary The Last Waltz is a homage to the epic 1976 Thanksgiving farewell concert by The Band at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. Performances include Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, the Staple Singers, Emmylou Harris and others. As Robertson recounts: "We had to play 21 songs with other artists, going from Muddy Waters to Joni Mitchell. ... We played this five-hour concert and we didn't make a mistake." Some believe this concert marked the beginning of the end of the classic rock era.

The Last Waltz was added to the National Film Registry in 2019.
