The Complete Last Waltz started in 2012 at the Warfield in San Francisco on the eve of Thanksgiving. In 2013 and 2014, it was performed at the Capitol Theatre.
The Last Waltz was The Band’s farewell concert on Thanksgiving 1976, filmed by Martin Scorcese. While The Band reunited over the years, that concert marked Robbie Robertson’s final appearance with the group. The star-studded concert featured performances by many of The Band’s collaborators over the years, including a suite of songs performed with Bob Dylan, for whom they were the backup band for several years.
Tickets for The Complete Last Waltz go on sale today.
