I watch this today, 8/9/23, with tears rolling down my cheeks. With the passing of Robbie Robertson, all the members of The Band, who I listened to in my little room, on my quadraphonic 8-track stereo, as a teenager in the ‘70s, are gone except Garth. Dylan and The Band were a huge part of the sound track of my youth. May God rest his soul. Rest in Peace, Robbie Robertson.

Read Robbie's book Testimony, it's fascinating and gives a great insight not only to Dylan and the Band, but also that time period sixties into the seventies.

The greatest musicians in the world are not the ones who are the most technically proficient or can pull off the flashiest solos, but those who can lock into what’s going on around them and serve the song. That is why I’m arguing that The Band has the world’s most incredible players. Throughout this concert, they proved they can play in a variety of different genres, back up an eclectic mix of artists, and make it all sound seamless. I tip my hat to Robbie, Levon, Richard, Rick, and Garth for being the best in the biz!

[@6teezkid]

I so agree! However, I totally appreciate and make an exception to Steely Dan for their expectations of technical perfection. They brought together the best session musicians in the world. 😁.

[@Filterite5]

@@Oh_I_Will of course there is,The Beatles were groundbreaking and great musicians but in no way are they the best ever musicians. The Band were a lot more versatile and could switch instruments and singers for different songs with ease.

[@aConfusedShoe]

I'd argue that Little Feat captures both the technical proficiency musicianship while also creating an amazing atmosphere with their sound. Maybe not my #1 top band but definitely up there. The Band had amazing collaborations as well as original music that will always be timeless.

[@swami1]

I LOVE the moment they segue from "Forever Young" into "Let Me Follow You Down." Levon, Robbie and Rick all look at Dylan as if to say "Okay, Bob...where you goin' with this?" Then it all comes together like a perfect recipe. RIP, Robbie.

[@davidgibbs381]

Yeah, the best moment of the 'Last Waltz'. I have to think they had no idea what Dylan was up to but it sure didn't fool them. Levon straining to keep his eyes on Dylan from behind with Rick & Robbie focused on the movements of Dylan's hands. Rick knows what's up as soon as Dylan's first chord; the way he breaks into that smile & immediately starts bouncing.

[@lisacecchettini4293]

Genius

[@charli3sm1th]

People claim that Bob changed his sets live as standard without regard of band... This proves that as BS. Bob clearly is leading with such a strong connection it takes a word, a look, and a nod and they are all on same songpage. That look at 4:28 and the transition at 4:32 is electrifying. One of the best 👌 I don't think people appreciate how connected and in sync with each other they where to be able to play flow and sound like that ❤

[@cruzcontrol1303]

Great moment at about 4:17… Bob plays a D7 and you can actually see Bob mouth the words “7th” to Robbie, a chord perfect for transitioning to “Let Me Follow You Down”. Once he starts the riff The Band immediately jumps in, its so perfect it seems like they worked it out in advance, but it’s wild that it was completely impromptu by Bob

[@superptop]

[@strouselawoffices4388]

My favorite is still Van Morrison's Caravan. Dylan's Baby let me follow you down is a close second.

[@vastucson]

You can see that The Band was peaking that night. Those beautiful heartfelt Robbie Robertson solos are just perfect. And you can tell that Bob was pulling a fast one on them with the decision to segue into “Baby Let Me Follow You Down.” But they flowed with it seamlessly, as if they had rehearsed it. And Rick Danko’s smile says it all. They were the greatest backup band in the world for a night.

[@jasondorsey7110]

"Baby Let Me Follow You Down" is my fave Dylan song, he puts aside all the folky social awareness pretensions and just rocks
