The Last Waltz

The Last Waltz is a live album and soundtrack to Martin Scorsese's concert film, documenting The Band's farewell performance at Winterland in 1976. Musically it distills the group's roots-based blend of folk rock, country rock, blues and classic rock, emphasizing warm ensemble vocal harmonies, organ and guitar interplay, and grounded rhythmic drive. The recording features collaborative performances with a range of guest artists and functions as a celebratory, career-defining capture of The Band's earthy, Americana-inflected sound.
