‘The Last Waltz’
In honor of the late, great musician Robbie Robertson, who died last week at the age of 80, now is the time to watch Robertson’s film collaboration with Martin Scorsese, The Last Waltz. This 1978 documentary is currently streaming free with ads on Tubi, and features some of the all-time greats of the American ’60s rock revolution. Roberston’s band, The Band, play their purported final show in San Francisco, and feature incredible performances from the likes of Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, and more. Beyond the music, the film captures Robertson’s sly charisma as a natural-born storyteller. And while Robertson and Scorsese wax poetic about how things used to be in the ’60s, you’ll be amazed at this time capsule of the ’70s.
