The Canadian-American roots rock group that rose to prominence in the late 1960s. Comprised of vocalists and multi-instrumentalists Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, and Robbie Robertson, The Band's soulful and authentic sound captivated listeners worldwide. They were cherished for their seamless blend of rock, folk, country, and blues, showcased in hits such as "The Weight" and "Up on Cripple Creek." Their contributions to popular music also included collaborations with Bob Dylan. The Band's enduring influence is characterized by their timeless harmonies, storytelling prowess, and lasting impact on the Americana genre.

On Thanksgiving Day 1976, The Band took the stage for the very last time at the Winterland Theatre in San Francisco. The concert, aptly billed as The Last Waltz, has become one of the most revered performances of all time. For the show, Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel, and Robbie Robertson were joined by an all-star group of music pioneers, including Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Bob Dylan, Ronnie Hawkins, Dr. John, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters, and Neil Young, among others. The evening was captured on film by director Martin Scorsese. Released theatrically in April 1978 to critical acclaim, The Last Waltz is still considered by many to be the greatest concert film ever made.

2CD - This 40th Anniversary Edition 2CD set houses the original soundtrack with newly remastered audio from the original master tapes.

4CD/1 Blu-Ray - The 40th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of the original soundtrack has 54 tracks, including the entire concert, as well as rehearsals and outtakes. Among the rarities are performances not featured in the film, such as Furry Sings The Blues with Joni Mitchell and All Our Past Times with Eric Clapton, plus rehearsals for Caravan with Van Morrison, Such A Night with Dr. John, and King Harvest (Has Surely Come) a song that was not performed in concert. This 4CD / Blu-Ray set features The Last Waltz film on Blu-Ray accompanied by a 70-page booklet containing rare photos and newly-penned liner notes written by revered music journalists David Fricke and Ben Fong-Torres along with a classic essay from 1977 written by iconic author Emmett Grogan.
