Don't Do It - The Band - The Last Waltz

Winterland Ballroom, San Francisco, CA
1976-11-25
The Last Waltz (2002)
¡IMPORTANT!
If anyone thinks they have footage (audience or professional) or an audience recording that no one else has (or that I haven't published) and wants to make it public, they can contact me.
¡IMPORTANT!
I never liked that they shortened the songs so that the movie didn't last that long, or at least they could have given them as bonus material for the 40th anniversary

If somebody offered me a chance to witness something back in time , I would immediately ask for a ticket for the Last Waltz concert ! What a joy ! Leaving the best for last .

...my biggest mistake was loving you too much...R.I.P. Levon

[@jag6183]

I watched this movie when I was an undergrad at Syracuse University. I was a film major. It was shown as a lesson on documentary films. When I told my mother I liked the Band, she bought me a CD of The Band "Across the Great Divide" as a Christmas present.

[@Triggerzombie677]

Thank God for the Band. Greatest Band. Levon Helm, Robbie Robertson, Rick Danko, Garth Hudson & Richard Manuel.

[@markmcguckin3493]

Greatest Band / My favorite,! Rip, Levon

Levon Helm - holding down the two most important jobs in a band - vocals and drums.

❤❤❤

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

My brothers an I are here on this earth because these guys (pre Band days) played a hall in my mum's little town in Canada and my dad wasn't afraid to ask a pretty girl to dance. Thanks boys and thank you Ronnie Hawkins. Cheers and Big Time Bill, Big Time.

[@dirkdirkson2546]

RIP Robbie Robertson, Thank You and the Band for all the music and the trailblazing Americana that you all created. You and the Band changed my life and my appreciation of the possibilities of rock and roll, and all the influences that shaped it. I am forever grateful. Long live Garth Hudson, and everyone that inhabited this tent!

"The greatest ENCORE ever to be shot on film. God bless RICK DANKO LEVON HELM GARTH HUDSON RICHARD MANUAL and ROBBIE ROBERTSON.

[@MrCillian5]

RIP Robbie Robertson. The way he shreds the guitar on that last solo 🔥😩🔥

[@DuneAquaViva]

What an encore!

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Love Rick's "Happy Thanksgiving" and his smile and then his stomping to the music. Love all The Band members, but Rick a little more.

[@bobripkey3924]

What a way to go out!

[@janechapman6448]

Love and miss you boys. Rick, Levon. Robbie and Richard left way too soon. Great artists. Garth such a wonderful musician.

[@IRgEEK]

Thank you R. Robertson and The Band. This documentary played a huge part in me picking up a guitar. I never got rich from it money-wise but I sure have derived a tremendous amount of joy and happiness jamming with my buds whenever we have the chance over these last 40+ years. Younger days, we would go back and watch it often, or just have it playing in the background and no matter what our status was at the time, we would always feel compelled to pick up our instruments and just play. Great memories.

[@rippi37]

Oh , what a concert ! I would've done anything to have been there ....right up the front...I would've been about 17.....living in Aus, so I saw the movie at the cinema nearly 50 times.....still can't get enough even with the DVD , CD and YT....perfection !!!!!! xxx

[@dirkdirkson2546]

I was there. I can't tell you how unbelievable it was. I wrote down the songs in pencil on a notepad as they were played and I took a couple rolls of Instamatic shots, most of which weren't any good because I couldn't stand still. I relive the Last Waltz every Thanksgiving as part of the long weekend traditions.

[@rippi37]

@@dirkdirkson2546 Oh , wow !! I feel I am having a brush with fame....lol. I think you were really on to it writing down the songs......awesome !! I was so sad hearing about Robbie's passing ....we're losing the icons of my time......sad..... Peace , love , health and happiness to you and yours :)

[@dirkdirkson2546]

Thank you and rightbackatcha :)@@rippi37

[@rralbq]

Happy Canada Day . Sitting by pool in New Orleans, Canadian content on the speakers. Lovely

[@donwarnick1089]

Best song from The Band

[@gerryradford4812]

THE BAND. enough said. Gx

[@appalachianrk]

Hard to believe that we are now down to just Garth. Still Love The Band ! Been on board since The Brown Album...........

[@JohnHaslam-nh8tn]

W/ you. Bought it at a school bookstore when it 1st came out, 1969. Admittedly, bought it just based on Elliot's cover photo and an interesting back cover. Don't think I'd heard a song from it, before that. Has always been #1 album, for me, ever since. Funny, bought John Prine's debut based on similar reasoning... not #2 (that'd be Fillmore East), but top 10. Better than shit luck, perhaps.

[@DanteDAmato-hh2ze]

Too bad this opening from the movie didn't make it into the concert album. The Band were so great!

[@justaaccount8738]

It is, at the end of the second jam, as well as the "good evening" at the beginning of Up On Cripple Creek in the film, on the album it is at the end of The Last Waltz Theme

[@markchacon7002]

Dont be late the Band here 🌉🌉🎙️🎩🌉🌉🇺🇸🇨🇦

[@tspnyc]

Thank you so much for this! I spent nearly 50 years feeling sad about the treatment in the film of this the very last song they played together after loose jamming with their special guests that went on for over an hour. I am still sad they chopped out a section of the solos from It Makes No Difference (did multiple cameras have to change film at that moment??) But at least Don't Do It has been redone and restored to its ragged glory. Thanks again!!! tsp, nyc

[@bjohnston3659]

what would it feel like, you're walking on stage theinking we're gonna do ONE LAST SONG then that's it

[@gratefullydeadicated]

RIP 😞

[@KIIDKYAAS]

It's so good and proof that music has no border

[@mtoscano343]

Still rocks in 2023

[@leahflower9924]

Levon was so handsome

[@hannejeppesen1809]

Kind of cute, I guess we all have different taste, I for one have a thing for Robbie and Rick. Very good looking and lot's of charisma.

[@irvy78]

This should have hundreds of millions of views if not into the Bs" The Band " is well? The fucin band

[@rosemariemaldonado5886]

they were the best

[@nickkahn7517]

RIP Robbie

[@johnbuglass3035]

Awesome!

[@bibianadelgado5188]

Tiempos pasados fueron mejores❤❤

[@MrOhmygoditsben]

As Rick would say, Happy Thanksgiving ♥️

[@dirkdirkson2546]

Ironically, by the time he uttered it, Thanksgiving was already past ---- the show wasn't over until after midnight!

[@rhineruder]

great cover of the holland/dozier/holland cut

[@adriaanvanberge1232]

They should have released full length version of this song on movie.. And also maybe left it as the closer

[@ninojakic1634]

And name the Bend...souts them n only they can pull off...woodstok nonstop

[@chrisslazak729]

Whoa, I dunno if you edited this or not but it’s awesome to see the song in it’s entirety, cut between the raw footage of the concert and what made the final cut of the movie. Awesome video

[@justaaccount8738]

I edited it :D, I also like how it switches between the footage of the movie and the B&W footage, that's the main reason I made these TLW videos

[@chrisslazak729]

Awesome job!

[@gjazzy3072]

I don't see any phone players on the stage, but I can hear their sound. Is that what they call overdubbing?

[@waterdragon4950]

Excellence endures. 🌎🌊🌲🔥🌪 ❤️

I’ll give yinz 3 wishes a piece

[@MetropolisNoir]

I'm here because of Thanksgiving

[@wesleybrown7980]

Better live..

[@AlecWade84]

They say poetry isn't scientific.... explain this chemistry then

[@user-tb4el1sr1q]

Uh huh

[@eddiebeasley9898]

Tuit

[@JamesTaylor-op5xc]

Obviously a great concert, but I have always hated they way they added horns to this song over the years. Saw them do it live in 1970 without a horn section and MUCH prefer it that way.

[@justaaccount8738]

They did concerts with horns only in 1971 and 1976, even so there are concerts like the King Biscuit Flour Hour 1976 where their entire set is without horns.

[@MichaelSSmith-hs5pw]

They said Robbie Robertson was a great lead guitarist. But I don’t see it.
