The Last Waltz

So absolutely Awesome!!! The original artists are still kickin it and the new ones amazing! Plus I got to meet and walk in with Warren Haynes! The music of my time (70's) and it never gets old! GO TO THIS CONCERT!!!!

The Last Waltz 40 Tour was one of the best concerts I have seen in a long time!! All the musicans were top quality! The sound was amazing! I'm sorry it was the end of the tour, otherwise I'd try to get on the bus!!!

Bought tickets for the show in Chicago at the Chicago theater. Seats were like advertised and the show was a true 5 star. You can't go to a Blackbird production show without see the artistry of Jamey Johnson and Warren Haynes. The whole band was on it!

From the moment I walked into the spectacularly beautiful Saenger Theater, it was hands down the best show I saw all of Jazz Fest weekend - and that says A LOT, considering how much amazing talent at that fest. But, Warren Haynes and the band, wow, they played The Last Waltz with precision and passion - it was truly one of the best concerts I've ever experienced.

Awesome show at one of the best venues in the World. Stop by the Catskill Distillery before and after the show!

40 years on, a re-creation of one of the most memorable nights in music resulted in another one. Warren Haynes and Don Was assembled a tight and powerful core band including Michael McDonald on piano (channeling Richard Manuel), Jamey Johnson on acoustic guitar (channeling Levon Helm) and John Medeski on organ and other keys (channeling Garth Hudson). Warren handled the Rick Danko vocals and Robbie Robertson guitar parts brilliantly. Terrence Houston drove the band from behind the drums and a stellar New Orleans horn section delivered Allen Toussaint's charts with gusto. The guests were well suited to their featured parts, especially Dave Malone, Cyril Neville, Lukas Nelson, George Porter Jr., and original Waltzer Bob Margolin, who embodied the spirit of his late bandleader Muddy Waters.

My last music show at the Saenger. Three shows and about $1,500 in tickets past 6 mos. Won't be back. Had Orchestra Left seats this time and the mix started off OK. Not great but OK. Third song they increased the level of kick drum and sub woofers to the point that the mix turned to mud, and they kept it there til almost the end of the show, when there was a slight improvement. Had a friend sitting near the board and he said it was bad there also. No excuse in such a beautiful venue. For the Nevillization show last yr I was Floor Left almost to balcony and mix was equally bad. Asked a well known music critic sitting in my row what he thought and he concurred. Back to last Sat (Last Waltz) the usher stationed at the right front of the theatre initially refused to clear the aisle and let 50-60 people jam the aisle where they were yelling and talking throughout the performance. Enough of us complained that he then tried to do his job but too late. They pretty much ruined the last half of the show for myself and my party.

This was an epic moment of talented musicians coming together to pay tribute to The Bands's Last Waltz. The show was incredible. There were 4 brass players 2 keyboards. 3-5 guitar players, lots of singers and an incredible drummer. The Saenger Theater is a beautifully renovated and decorated Theater in a Greek theme.

Great show tons of guess. Warren alway puts on a fabulous show

Awesome show in an awesome venue!!!! Would definitely do it again

Great show, although I expected more guests considering it was Jazz Fest with Neil Young, Van Morrison, Bonnie Raitt all in town. Jamie Johnson, Warren Haynes, Michael McDonald were stellar! The horns were great, and the person who covered Muddy Tore it Up!!

Had such a great time listening to great musicians sing great tunes.

The musicians were awesome. People coming in for different sets and songs, so much talent. Will do again.

Fantastic! Great show and a great time will go next year

I very much enjoyed the concert; didn't realize so many people here in Denver were fans of the "The Last Waltz" album and the movie. However, did not enjoy the opening act; had trouble understanding the lyrics; sounded like the same music playing over and over, going on what seemed like forever. ONE DISAPPOINTMENT --- was very much looking forward to hearing the "Long Black Veil" which was not played. Long live The Band --- Garth, Richard, Levon, Rick and Robbie..

Good show, good cause, and good times! I would recommend this event every year!

everything about the last waltz was exceptional.....the music, voices, set up and ambiance brought the audience right into the experience

The show was awesome. I loved all the guest appearances.

Great venue, great talent, so much fun. I would recommend this show to anyone who enjoys good music.

When I bought tickets to this venue, i thought it was just a tribute to the Band's last waltz. That is why we got tickets. It was actually a benefit for Music in Common, Inc. Which is a non profit organization of members who use music to bring peace and harmony throughout the world. They showed us a video of some of the things they do to make the world a better place to live by educating young people on living in harmony. The show featured the Rev Tor Band and friends. They sang 23 somgs and followed the last waltz format. Many different singers came up on the stage. The show was excellent.

Music was amazing and the venue just as amazing ---

17 of us went to the show. We all had such a great time. The venue was perfect. I apologize for going on stage to sing the last song with them. What a blast.

It was a phenomenal event!! Such a gathering of great talent in one show!!

The performance of the Last Waltz was a totally enjoyable evening. At first I was a little disappointed that the Rev Tor band sounded nothing like the original Band. But after a little while, I just enjoyed the music for what it was. I really enjoyed the local artists that appeared.

Enjoyed the music it was well done. It would have been better for the horn section to come out by themselves and play their open as a tune up. they were great afterwards. * For the 50 anniversity you should allow all the people with orginal tickets(1969) in for the celebration for free

music was outstanding. he crowd was awful. unless you like old people sitting at your concert. had a couple a couple rows up get security to kick everyone out of their section so they could sit on their phones the rest of the show.

Not enough of the bands music and sub par event. Would of been ok at 40% the cost rip off.

Anyone who is a fan of The Band and the Last Waltz film must see this show. Incredible talent plus great guests. So cool that they bring up local musicians in each city (Wayne Kramer from MC5 in Detroit).

This was a truly great show! All of the legendary musicians were incredible!

Was very enjoyable!!! Might have been better had Garth made it??? Danny quite the keyboard player!!!

What an awesome show! Way better than I could imagine! Everyone sounded incredible! We were so happy the tour played @ The Fox Theater in Detroit ! We ran into a lot of freinds we hadn't seen in years, who all converged onto the scene to rekindle memories of the past. How cool and so much fun!

The show was great. The music was great. The band was tight and played well

Most of the show was stellar... That being said, I don't know what was up with Dr. John. He does seem to start songs out of tune at first and then tunes in and I see this as a kind of niche. However, the first song he played on he did the entire thing out of tune and Warren and the guys are looking at each other and thinking when is he going to pull out of this... oh he's not... well how do we play along... VERY awkward. The next song he started out of tune and then hit his stride and played fantastic. So when he comes out for the encore, again he starts playing out of tune and singing something else? Warren had his mic cut. It is a shame to see a great player embarrass himself that way... I'd rather just remember him for the good times. Cyril Neville looked like he was just phoning in his performance as well and we never got to see Garth Hudson?

The Last Waltz is a movie that will never get old. It was really great to hear the musicians treat us to their rendition of such beloved songs.

Please get the low end mix out of the mud. Rick Danko deserves better.

Enjoyed the show and the amazing Detroit Fox Theater! A true work of art!

venue was fabulous, seats were great, stage was set up just like the Last Waltz concert. Only downside was the long line to get into the casino after. We just left but would have liked to gamble.

An incredible performance fronted by Warren Haynes, Michael McDonald, and Joan Osborne; paying tribute to THE BAND's last performance at Bill Graham's Winterland Ballroom!!!

The show and MGM National Harbor were great! Would def return to see another show there.

This was a great concert. The musicians were diligent in replicating a great concert. It was fantastic to see and hear the skills of Garth Hudson who I hadn't see play live since Wembley Stadium, London 1974. I would have liked to have heard Coyote played but that was my only negative. I know they had so much to play and they did, going on for 3.5 hours. The Theater was good but cold. I had great visibility but I think that some of the seating on the sides was unlikely to give a great view. I would eat before going to the concert. The MGM Casino was very nice but the food was expensive.

Fantastic, words cannot describe it !!! You would have to see

This was our first visit to the new MGM National Harbor venue and it was a wonderful, smaller venue to see this concert. From the opening to the encore, these musicians played this setlist from history with heart and soul. They had a couple of original members of the Last Waltz perform as special guests, along with the Nevilles. What a night - they played until almost midnight with one intermission! The crowd was on their feet most of the evening - well worth every penny spent!

Nice place still very new , the shine is still on the apple! could have used more beverage stations , or bartenders to speed up service , lines were too long , theater and sound were great ! very nice place I would go back in a minute

Everybody rocked it. It was amazing hearing songs I haven't heard in years. The old guys were still amazing. I can't imaging what it must have been like to have witnessed it 40 years ago.

Enjoyed the show thoroughly at the new MGM casino facility. Music was not to loud and the stage was set up so that all of the band could be viewed from about anywhere within the facility. A great mix/variety of music. The ushers could have been a little more sensitive to the drinking and dancing in the walkways, as it became a little distractive near the end of the concert, especially for those who wanted to watch the musicians......and did not want to 'party'. Crowd control could have been just a little better.

Warren Haynes with his all-star ensemble performed beloved songs from The Band and other artists of the day.

It's almost impossible to replicate the Band's Last Waltz...but these people pulled it off. A few of their own twists to the songs, but those worked. Especially when the Nevills were on stage. Great musicians, great energy, a hell of a lot of fun. It was awesome to see so many diverse ages there...young and older, a good time was had by all Band lovers. With greatfullness to the Band and all the fellows. Well done.

Warren Haynes and Friends featuring Michael McDonald were just incredible.

Fantastic musicians playing wonderful, eclectic music of The Band plus songs of Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, Neil Young etc. Need I say more.

The band was incredible. I listened to the Band on my way home. This band sounded better.

Just when i thought it couldn't get any better, out come Cyril & Ivan Neville !! Awesome !!

What an amazing show!! Great all star band! And what a special treat to have Garth Hudson there!! Got to take my son, to show him what GREAT music really is! We had a wonderful night!!

warren and his all star band nailed it. couldn't sit down, just had to groove all night long

This show was amazing with so many talented artists. I wish I could watch it all over again!!!! Joan Osborne was a pleasant surprise! She is just awesome, and really added to the excitement of the show. They didn't do EVERY song, but that would take too long. But had a really nice selection.

The first half was just noise because there was too much reverb. Impossible to hear instruments. Michael McDonald on keyboard was totally wasted. Couldn't hear his keyboard and he only got to sing a couple of times.

I enjoyed this show. It the only place you will ever hear the old songs played like this!

A very fun evening of music from some of the best musicians, old and young, Led by Warren Haynes and Don Was, the band was tight and bright; great horn section. Taj Mahal was the real treat of the night.

Went to see this, on a whim, because it was the only thing really going on in Detroit the night I was there. I wasn't disappointed, it was a great show, and the theater was gorgeous. Glad to see a few friends of The Band, that were there on that historic night. Dr. John is getting up there in age at 76, his playing is a little erratic, but his voice is as strong as ever. Warren Haynes has an amazing tone, sounds like a young Duane Allman...

Warren and friends tore the roof off the Palace Theater in Albany, NY.

What a show! The band were really tight, performed a great selection of songs and the sound was awesome.

The band consisting of legendary musicians playing the music of The Band was once in a lifetime performance. Perfect tribute in the perfect venue.

I really didn't know what to expect. I just knew warren Haynes was going to be there and he is my favorite guitarist. The show was so fun and the musicians were all great.

What a wealth of St. Louis talent! Renditions of Last Waltz numbers were, for the most part, terrific. Connection between the audience and the performers was electric. For me, the best concert experience in years. I would love to have all my pals there and have the experience repeated for them. Truly awesome!

I was really impressed with the talent and effort by all the musicians to make it an unforgettable night at an awesome venue. I ll defintiely go again next year if you have it!

The music was wonderful; the people attending were great. Almost like I was there for the original concert so many years ago.

The performance and the band was great. Clearly a lot of hard work went into this. One problem was the clarity of the singers. It was hard to hear them as not being loud enough but the clarity of what they were singing. One other thing why do I have to pay will call to get my tickets?

The star rating says it is for "venue rating" - The Newport, while historic, is a poor place to see a show. I give it 2 stars. As for the performance: After "Such a Night" stopped doing their shows in Indianapolis, I was glad to find that James Wooster and company were putting this "The Band" tribute on. Wonderful job, everyone!

Love City Stage - great little venue. The music was fun and it's always nice to see and support our local arts.

By far the best show that I have seen in years! Wonderful band and singers! High quality

I've seen Warren Haynes a few times, and he's a guitarist extraordinaire. I loved the Bank, do when I heard he was leading this tribute, I was excited. And since I'm a huge fan of Don Was (but had never seen him perform live), that was icing on the cake. Great show, with multiple guests -- including Taj Mahal, Dr. John and, yes, even Garth Hudson -- who looked like an older, bent over version of Leon Russell. Was pleased to hear many of the great tunes from that seminal concert, including Neil Young's "Helpless" and Van (the Man) Morrison's "Caravan"..

I was amazed at the depth of knowledge and respect the musicians had for this historical event! I hope that a download of the show becomes available to purchase.

The price of tickets was fair and we were very pleased with our seats. The sound crew did an outstanding job of providing a great audio experience. Some confusion on the house lights coming on during performances. The Event Center was much better than the old outdoor venue viewed in the past. As for the musicians - Simply super. Special Guest added a local flavor and Warren Haynes made the tribute real. A great surprise seeing Garth Hudson perform. Fabulous.

Overall a very good concert with lots of very talented people playing. band had a little difficulty keeping rhythm when Dr John came out but that only lasted 2 songs.

From opening to close this was a fantastic show. Superb arrangements. Great horn section. Top level guitar, drum, and keyboards. I missed out 40 years ago. This was the closest I'll ever get. Went home at 2 am and played the Last Waltz DVD. Taj Mahal was great. Still has the voice.

Awesome to see Mr Haines give these old timers one more trip down the road. Truly a classic amazing evening seeing some legends bring the house down

I just saw the 40th Anniversary tribute to the Band's Last waltz evening. Taj Mahal sang and played guitar, Dr. John played piano and sang. Garth Hudson played organ and piano and sang. The last two had to be led on and off stage. Yet their fingers rose to the occasion and flew across the keys. Bob Margolin who played with Muddy Waters that night was also there and a 69 flopped around on the floor as he yelled out "Who do you love?" Warren Haynes and Don Was put on the show and Jamey Johnson's voice was miraculous. The music of that time is not only enduring, but many times magical. That night it was magical again.

A flood of memories with this show...Amazing...Amazing...Amazing !!....The only thing that sucked was that only 25 percent of the venue was filled......People in San Diego DO NOT KNOW GREAT MUSIC...Their loss for sure !!

Warren Haynes is the most happening thing in music there is no comparison with any band or artist.He is it.

Great concert. So glad to have made the show. Excellent performances, really enjoyed it all.

Great rock and blues musicians, they made you feel it

warren haynes as conductor was simply amazing. the musicians delivered a show that is in my top 10 lifetime, that's thousands of shows!!! thank you to the musicians and organizers, so glad we caught this show.

The music was great. The musicianship was great. Stand outs were the drummer who's name I never heard and the keyboardist - David Lewis. Of course, Don Was on Bass, was amazing as always and looked as though he was enjoying it. There was no real audience engagement and no joy from Warren Haynes and Jamey Johnson, it was as if they were playing this show for the umpteenth time on a cruise ship or something. Jamey Johnson's version of Gerorgia was plodding and his vocal was flat through most of it. Taj Mahal was fun and engaging and still great as always he was the best added edition besides Garth Hudson coming out and playing the most beautiful piano piece. He was a little lost on stage though and had to be wrangled a few times which was actually very endearing. Dr. John was good and I saw him last year in concert at the Saban with a 3/4 full theater. That was shocking to me but he was still great. Finally, there was no mention or representation of Neil Diamond or his performance at the Last Waltz OR JONI MITCHELL! I can understand that these musicians may think that Neil Diamond is lame and well...Joni Mitchell is a woman after all so.....If you are going to have special guests come out and sing songs by Van Morrison, Muddy Waters and Neil Young, why not Joni too? Overall the show was good. As I said, the musicianship was good and the songs well arranged and performed but joyless the entire night.

40 years after the legendary Last Waltz show, this was a fine reprisal.

an amazing show with a stellar lineup. Taj Majal was incredible

Good show.....Taj was entertaining. Pretty much what was expected; stayed true to the original, so not too many surprises. I think Garth got lost in his piano and organ solos a bit, but I guess he earned that.
