Martin Scorsese's 1978 capsule history of the Band is mixed with footage of the group's allegedly last performance (certainly their last performance as a quintet) in this particularly stylish concert film. Scorsese shoots the players and their sundry guests with the same flair and enthusiasm one can see in the later The Color of Money or Goodfellas. He also proves a good interviewer with Band members, particularly Robbie Robertson, whose sleepy-sexy good looks make a star-caliber impression in close-up. But the film's real hook is the stage show, which features a rotation of rock legends (Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Paul Butterfield, Bob Dylan, and so on) playing with the Band before a wildly appreciative audience. --Tom Keogh

Summary: Best Rock Documentary Ever Made!
Comment: this is it! it features nearly all the greatest artist of that era! what an amazing dvd! well made! beautiful!
Customer Rating:
Summary: 6 stars
Comment: This is the best music DVD I own by far. The Band was probably the best group in America and it's a shame that they don't get more credit to that fact. I've watched this DVD several times and it rocks, yes, R.R. gets the lion's share of the interviews but there is always someone in the group that is the spokesperson. That said, the filming of this concert is heads above anything else shot at that time and better than many shot today. The only other DVD that comes close is Flogging Mollie's Whiskey for Breakfast. The music is superb and the line-up is amazing, Rick Danko's Stage Fright may be the high point of the show, it's worth the price of admission for that alone. I always wind up cranking this one way up. Many, many bands break up for personal reasons, I'm just glad that we have this to watch and listen to.

Summary: Classic Live Show that everyone should See
Comment: This is a great live show that any music fan would enjoy! an endless list of guest appearances coinciding with great music! I highly recommend watching this dvd to get a glimpse at what this experience must have been like!
Customer Rating:
Summary: A classic
Comment: If you want to see & hear what to 60s & 70s rock music was like, this is the concert film to get. Just look at the list of performers - this is defenitely the A-list. Hope you can connect your DVD player into your stereo since this DVD is best viewed at full power. A great concert film! The best I've seen.

Summary: Excellent film!!!
Comment: The film start with a review of the own group about the begining and how they comes to make their carrers. The performances are very exciting and the sound is pretty good!. I recommended this film because you can see not only a traditional concert, but a film-documentary about great artist of the 60's, and of course, in 1979 they was still young, still on tour, so the performances are perfect!.
