THE LAST WALTZ Celebration, featuring The THE BAND Band & Special Guests, returns to the Sacred Heart Community Theatre for the 50th anniversary celebration of The Last Waltz
Experience a Last Waltz 50th Anniversary Celebration like no other! With over 60 Last Waltz shows to date, nobody delivers the sound and spirit of The Last Waltz like The THE BAND Band!
On Thanksgiving Day 1976, The Last Waltz was held at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. The Band’s farewell concert featured a who’s who of rock royalty from Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Eric Clapton to Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Ronnie Hawkins. This epic musical event was later immortalized in Martin Scorsese’s landmark film, “The Last Waltz,” widely considered one of the greatest concert films ever made.
Gary Solomon, co-founder of The THE BAND Band, was in the audience that night. “I knew that what I was seeing was not just another rock concert. It was a once in a lifetime event.”
The Last Waltz Celebration revisits the music and the magic of that Thanksgiving evening 50 years ago, beginning with The THE BAND Band performing a set of The Band's most beloved songs, followed by a revolving cast of musicians performing the songs of those guest stars featured in the original concert, and also including fiddler Larry Packer, who played with The Band at The Last Waltz in 1976!
