What with the timeline being as depressing as it is, this week we decided to visit a favourite film of ours - Martin Scorsese's often overlooked The Last Waltz, welcoming back three-time returning superstar guest Jack from Reel Politik. On November 25 1976 at the Winterland Ballroom in San Fransisco a star-studded (and cocaine-fuelled) rock concert was held that would go down as one for the ages, which Scorsese documented on film - a goodbye not just to Canadian-American group The Band after 16 years on the road, but also to an entire era of rock'n'roll. We take an in-depth look at what is surely one of, if not the greatest rock documentary of all time, from the influences to the fallouts to the heartbreaks, and not to mention the absolutely electrifying music.
