On November 25, 1976 The Band ended a Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame worthy career with The Last Waltz, one of the most celebrated concerts in the history of rock and roll. The concert featured more than a dozen guest artists, including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, and Dr. John, and showcased many of The Bands classic hit songs, such as "The Weight", "Up On Cripple Creek", "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", "Ophelia", and "It Makes No Difference." The Last Waltz was immortalized in Martin Scorsese's documentary, released in 1978.
About The THE BAND Band
With growing critical acclaim since they started touring in 2007, The THE BAND Band is without a doubt the most musically satisfying tribute to The Band on the scene today. They bring the music of The Band alive with authentic, true-to-form renditions of their extraordinary repertoire, delivered with the passion and commitment for which The Band was renowned.
George Walsh of WCWP Radio says, "The THE BAND Band really nails it. Their shows recapture the incredible vibe that was unique to The Band." And Rex Fowler of famed folk-rock duo Aztec Two-Step states, "Sadly we'll never see or hear The Band perform live again, but if you want a close second and want to be transformed by the magic and spirit of The Bands music...The THE BAND Band...delivers BIG TIME".
The THE BAND Band has shared the stage with Richie Havens, New Riders of the Purple Sage, Aztec Two-Step, Marshall Crenshaw and many more, and the individual band members have performed or toured with original Band members Rick Danko and Levon Helm, as well as Bruce Springsteen, Chuck Berry, John Hall, Patti Smith, Keith Richards, Steve Forbert, Paul Butterfield, Mike Bloomfield, Roy Rogers, Roger McGuinn, Robbie Dupree, Max Weinberg, Clarence Clemons, Willie Nile, Maria Muldaur, Genya Ravan, Jimmy Vivino, The Shirelles, and many others.
