Diamond'...Great story if true (from Wikipedia):<br /><br />Diamond's appearance was not popular with all of the other performers. Levon Helm was critical of the inclusion of Diamond, not discerning any<br />musical connection to The Band, as was Ronnie Wood, who stated in an 1980s interview, "None of us could understand what he was doing there."<br /><br />Dylan also apparently held him in low esteem: Reportedly, when Diamond came off stage he remarked to Dylan, "You'll have to be pretty good to<br />follow me", to which Dylan responded, "What do I have to do, go on stage and fall asleep?"Dr. Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17771229779025430726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-15272135155862592642009-11-25T15:49:03.309-08:002009-11-25T15:49:03.309-08:00One highlight I had in there but cut was the fact ...One highlight I had in there but cut was the fact that in the NYC/adult dose segment, Levon does not blink.

When Robbie kisses Joni Mitchell, I wasn't sure who I wanted to kiss more. Huh. Interesting.<br /><br />****<br /><br />Many years later, I turned Allan onto the movie, and when we bought our first VCR, the first tape we bought for it was TLW. Years later when we bought our first DVD player... same thing. <br /><br />The Concert Movie To End All Concert Movies, and some of the greatest music ever written.<br /><br />Except Neil Diamond, also known as "the pee break".laura khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05524593142290489958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-79632804381460868502009-11-25T07:37:19.947-08:002009-11-25T07:37:19.947-08:00Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

Interesting that Bill G. wasn't interviewed for the movie, considering how influential he was. I was blown away when you posted this because two days ago I downloaded the Complete Last Waltz from a site online, and despite seeing the movie dozens of times I had never heard the songs that were not included.Dr. Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17771229779025430726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-82571892520250971762009-11-24T08:03:10.134-08:002009-11-24T08:03:10.134-08:00"The Last Waltz" is great, but "Sto..."The Last Waltz" is great, but "Stop Making Sense" is the best concert film of all time...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5730822.post-5251990753620930312009-11-24T07:12:40.972-08:002009-11-24T07:12:40.972-08:00Big time, Bill, big time!
