The Last Waltz

[The Gs Man]

This was in May!

This is the chance to re-imagine one of the greatest rock films ever. The Last Waltz, was a farewell concert from The Band, recorded on Thanksgiving Day, 1976. The event was a checklist of roots, rock and Americana, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Emmylou Harris, Muddy Waters, Ringo Starr, Ronnie Wood and Dr John.

It marked the demise of the original Band line-up, an emotional goodbye after 16 years on the road. Songs like The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, The Weight, and It Makes No Difference, still resonate across popular music.

The artists for this event will include: Captain Kennedy, Jackson Cage, Katie Richardson, Ten Gallon Hat, John Shelley and the Creatures, The BBCs Gerry Anderson and more names TBA.

If you're ever over stateside, Levon is still going strong up in Woodstock.

[Main Street]

That's a very good sound, well done.
The violin and the cleavage will do instead of the horn section.
It's the beards I miss, Those wimpy stubbles just don't meet the standard.

Good luck with the gig.
