Saw them at Woodstock and they were great . People expected Dylan to show up and play some songs with them . He didn’t .

“Last Waltz” is an incredible film...

It is, but the stories behind it are even more incredible. It was a huge source of anger in the band because Robertson kept mouthing lyrics at the mic even when he wasn't singing lead. The others probably still hate Scorsese for, as they see it, giving his friend Robertson too much screentime.

The rest of the band also had a legitimate point as to why they were guest stars at their own farewell concert. While the result is really entertaining, it takes the focus off The Band.

Van Morrison almost didn't go on. He was backstage and still saying he might not go on, and had to really psyche himself up. I think he pulled it off, though.
