 The Band The Last Waltz 3 LP BONUS USA PRESSED NOW OUT OF PRINT PRESSING

High Quality Vinyl 3LP Reissue!
Mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Studios From Original Analog Tapes! Pressed at RTI! 

Inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, The Band (Rick Danko, Levon Helm, Garth Hudson, Richard Manuel and Robbie Robertson) got their start in Canada as The Hawks backing blues-rocker Ronnie Hawkins. In 1965, they connected with Bob Dylan and became his first and most famous electric backing unit. In 1967, The Band embarked on a solo course that spanned 11 albums over the next decade. Five went gold and their second release, The Band, earned platinum. By 1976, though, as the world suffered disco fever and punk's onset, The Band was ready to call it a career after 16 years together. That Thanksgiving night, they staged a historic final performance dubbed The Last Waltz that celebrated their many musical milestones in a near-formal concert-hall setting at Winterland. Augmented by a 7-piece horn section and an orchestra, The Band played all their favorite songs and welcomed guest performers more than a dozen musical mentors and peers who had all contributed to or participated in their success along the way. 

Rhino/Warner Bros. presents this 3LP set celebrating the never-to-be repeated moment in music history.

"While Rock of Ages found the Band swinging along with the help of a horn section arranged by Allen Toussaint, The Last Waltz boasts a horn section (using Toussaint's earlier arrangements on a few cuts) and more than a baker's dozen guest stars, ranging from old cohorts Ronnie Hawkins and Bob Dylan to contemporaries Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, and Van Morrison. The Band are in fine if not exceptional form here; on most cuts, they don't sound quite as fiery as they did on Rock of Ages, though their performances are never less than expert, and the high points are dazzling, especially an impassioned version of "It Makes No Difference" and blazing readings of "Up on Cripple Creek" and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down" (Levon Helm has made no secret that he felt breaking up the Band was a bad idea, and here it sounds if he was determined to prove how much they still had to offer). Ultimately, it's the Band's "special guests" who really make this set stand out -- Muddy Waters' ferocious version of "Mannish Boy" would have been a wonder from a man half his age, Van Morrison sounds positively joyous on "Caravan," Neil Young and Joni Mitchell do well for their Canadian brethren, and Bob Dylan's closing set finds him in admirably loose and rollicking form." - allmusic.com

The Band The Last Waltz MFSL LIMITED EDITION Numbered Limited Edition Hybrid Stereo 2 SACD BOX SET

 Numbered, Limited Edition Hybrid 2SACD! Mastered from the Original Master Tapes! 

  
1976 Farewell Concert Doubles as a Get-Together of Many of Rock's Greatest Talents and Spawned Once-in-a-Lifetime Collaborations

Live Album Contains Several Songs Not Seen or Heard in Famous Film: The Band Plays as if Each Note is its Last

Mastered from the Original Master Tapes: Mobile Fidelity Gives Music Listeners 10th Row Access to Definitive Live Performances By The Band, Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, and Many Other Luminaries

"It started as a concert--it became a celebration." Unprecedented in scope and unrivaled in spirit, The Last Waltz transcends both the group it honors and every A-list star that appears. Indeed, The Band's farewell event captures the zeitgeist of a creative period like none other and raises a glass to the communal ethos and artistic electricity that emerged from a time during which foreign wars, political assassinations, and equality inspired an exceptional outburst of originality and innovation. Overflowing with once-in-a-lifetime collaborations and contagious performances, The Last Waltz is here afforded by Mobile Fidelity a version that makes the 1975 shindig come alive with tremendous realism, vigorous energy, and visceral body.

Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's double hybrid SACD set gives listeners a seat mere feet away from the Winterland Ballroom stage. Enhancing overall transparency, this collector's edition boasts supreme separation and full dynamic range, allowing each of the many musicians to occupy their own space in the mix. Details emerge unscathed, tonalities soar, and the soundstage stretches far beyond (and behind) speaker boundaries. You get the sense that you're a VIP guest watching the ceremony as it unfolds, with everything from Garth Hudson's tube-warm organ lines to Robbie Robertson's rounded solos delineated in balanced, rich, and lifelike fashion. The enthusiasm of the performances practically jumps off the proverbial page.

Indeed, as The Band's going-away party, The Last Waltz is one of the few albums in any genre where each instrumentalist plays as if every note will be their last. In this case, such circumstances were believed to be true. From the rustic Southern charm of the invigorating opener "Up on Cripple Creek" through a joyous circus-themed run through "Ophelia" to a stellar version of "The Weight" filled with palatable gravitas, The Band gives its all and more, cementing once and for all its permanent mark in the annals of rock's greatest artists.

Containing several songs not seen in the companion film, the soundtrack to The Last Waltz unspools as both a journey through one of the greatest catalogs of a single artist as well as a survey of fundamental American music styles and blends. The Band receives assists in the form of horn charts and a full-on brass section via New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint and ace instrumentalists. But, as we all now know, that was only the beginning of what amounts to a blowout affair graced with friends, cohorts, and admirers alike.

A Hall of Fame cast helps make The Last Waltz the first and last concert of its kind. Paul Butterfield, Muddy Waters, Pinetop Perkins, Eric Clapton, and Dr. John are among the virtuosos lending a hand on bluesier material. Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, and Ronnie Wood all take turns in assisting the hosts. The Band closes out the party with its own encore set. It is a truly magical affair, one further bettered by the selfless presence of Emmylou Harris, who contributes angelic backing vocals to numerous songs.

Recognizing it symbolized the culmination of a special era, The Last Waltz organizers and performers took every precaution to ensure the concert would be an event for the ages. Mobile Fidelity has done the same with this hybrid SACD set.
