The Last Waltz Celebration
On Thanksgiving Day 1976, San Francisco’s Winterland Arena was the site of a farewell concert hosted by The Band that featured a who’s who of rock royalty from Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Eric Clapton to Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Ronnie Hawkins. The event was later immortalized in Martin Scorsese’s landmark film, “The Last Waltz.” Gary Solomon, co-founder of The THE BAND Band, happened to be in the audience that night. Decades later he and a large cast of musician friends recreate that magical evening in theaters around the country. "I was so blown away by the experience of being at The Last Waltz, I wanted to tell the whole world about it" he says. "I guess I still do."
The THE BAND Band brings the music of The Band alive with authentic, spot-on renditions of their legendary catalog. From hit songs like "The Weight," "Up On Cripple Creek,” and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," to deep cuts from The Band’s classic albums, they perform this extraordinary repertoire with the passion and commitment for which The Band was renowned. Concert themes include historic concerts, classic album shows, and their iconic collaborations with Bob Dylan.
