The Last Waltz (1978) - The Weight Scene (4/7) | Movieclips

[@dianenecaise1776]

Alot of us didn't realize, we were living in a time, when the best music ever written or sung was being played.

[@magnificentmuttley154]

Being surrounded by so much talent, & saturated with so much good music, it was only natural for us to take it for granted. Long live the 70's. More than just great music, bad fashion, & a series of historic events. It is an open minded attitude; it is neighborly love; it is acceptance & respect of viewpoints & of faiths unlike ones own. It is unity & friendliness, & hospitality. The love of the greater number has cooled off in the decades since, just as Jesus warned. But the 70's still live on, because _WE ARE THE 70's, & WE REMAIN UNCHANGED_

[@misstortitude]

Yeah, we did!

Amen

[@stevenhargett]

Levon was great as they all were, but Robbie FKD the whole band for money and a spotlight for credit he didn’t deserve. The band was the band no front man. Robbie copyrighted all these songs he didn’t write also

​@@stevenhargett To right. He also never sang a single note. Faled it.

[@ikkenhisatsu7170]

@@stevenhargett Robertson wrote all those hits and the rest of the band added to them at best. Ask yourself what great songs the others wrote after the breakup. Not one. I'll wait.

[@starnealy4550]

@@TPaine1776 Sorry, I don't agree! Eric Clapton would also not agree. Talented, yes, but the band members, especially Levon made this band. Robbie took the majority of the profits, and the others didn't receive their proper share. Robbie showed up at the hospital when Levon was unconscious and I can assure you, Levon would have told him to get the you know what out of the hospital room. Levon always felt that the other members of the band didn't receive their rightful share of the profits. Robbie never went back to the stage with his guitar and show off his super talented fingers either. Well he did actually, but Eric Clapton had to carry to show, Robbie couldn't do it. His voice or guitar playing was limited. Robbie thought he was the greatest thing ever, but he was a average player, and his talents would not have created the Band, but Levon and the others did!

[@davidcameron1188]

My favorite scene in the movie. Like Mavis whispers at the end, “beautiful”.

[@hardtoimaginable]

I one-hundred percent agree.

[@bellytorelli]

Mavis Staples makes an art out of breathing in. Insane, how much she kills in this track, even as a background singer.

[@magnificentmuttley154]

...And since Mavis & Pop individually sang a stanza (thats not a verse, but usually _four_ verses) of lead vocals, that makes them supporting singers, too. Not just backing vocalists... The Staples Family. Wow! What an everlasting treasure. Someone earlier in this comment section said 100 years from now people will still be in awe of this performance. Theyre right. This is no ordinary music. It's the gift that outlasts us all & keeps right on giving. I cant think of a better Soul or Rock number that should stay in the Classic Top 40 for the next 100 years

Im a 72 Model, but I grew up listening to all of this type of Music, especially Levon Helm and Buddy Holly.

[@LesAtlas]

I'm 71 now, but I was at this concert on Thanksgiving 1976. I had just started graduate school, had been in California for only a few months, and I liked The Band. I heard they were doing their last concert. Tickets were really expensive, but a nice dinner was included, which was unusual. After dinner we started to get mad that the view was blocked by all the people running around with movie cameras. But when the music started we knew that this was a special concert. When this song, with The Staple Singers, started, we realized it was more than just special. We could see that all of the members of the Band were so inspired. It sent an indescribable chill through the audience, which this video kind of captures. This concert, especially the performance of this song, was the best music experience of my life.

The way she says, “beautiful.” The best ever

[@stevecarte9330]

I saw this at the theater here in Charleston WV when it first came out. Back when a theater was an experience. Large auditorium with fantastic acoustics and people had the respect to be quiet and let everyone hear and see a beautiful piece of art on the big screen. I was a teenager. Probably 14, didn’t have my drivers license yet. I absolutely loved every member of the band and every guest musician was incredible and was a treat. A once in a lifetime experience that was a gift to the people who love music and rock and roll. I wish Levon was still here and I could personally thank him for the lifetime of music I have lived since then. I will be 62 in December God willing. I wrote music, played music. Recorded music. Lived it and loved it. Watched my heroes come and go. Music is an ART FORM. And just like an artist who paints . I learned that you can write 100 songs and be fortunate to have a couple of excellent songs and maybe a few good and dozens not good at all . To put it kindly. I’m happy that I had a couple I consider masterpieces. Please forgive me for rambling. It comes with age and the way I lived my life and I inherited a lot of it. Anyway. I want to say Thank you to Robbie Robertson. He is one of my all time favorites. A class act. He has represented Rock and Roll with the highest degree of integrity. Incredibly talented, he has always been one of those people who you would say it’s obvious that his parents raised him right. Thank you for being a roll model . Someone I can look back at and remember that is where I got my start. My mother kept music in our home,. She played every instrument you could think of. From piano. autoharp. Guitar . accordion . Never had a lesson. My dad never played an instrument but he liked Johnny Cash and always had 8 track tapes playing in the Chevy on our beach trips. My big brother Bill the Preacher. Payed guitar and put bands together everywhere we went. He turned me on to iron butterfly, credence Clearwater revival. Simon and Garfunkel. Bob Dylan . Elton John. Always giving me albums for my birthday. One that always stood out was Aerosmith’s hardest drug fueled album when he was away in Seminary school. To anyone who reads this. Thank you for allowing me to ramble on. Because I’m at a point where every day is a gift. Even though times are not good like they used to be. But music still gives me hope.

[@stevecarte9330]

The Aerosmith album was a Draw The Line and if this movie was released in 1978, I would have been 17, I would turn 18 in December. God Bless you all.

[@juno4494]

I recall, growing up in this era, thinking that this kind of music would always be around. It was all we ever heard, and it had been with us since childhood. It's a little sorrowful to realize that it was an era destined to end, first withering with the glam of the later 70's, then perishing in the technopop and three-chord metal of the 80's. I hope I'm around long enough to see a revival--a true return to this kind of beauty dominating the airwaves again...

Speaking for myself Im just one of millions of "boogie children" who were fed from the high chair with Soul, Motown, & Funk.

Best collaboration ever

People always say that about their generation. I gotta say my adult son’s appreciate the music I grew up listening to from the 60’s & 70’s and I appreciate theirs equally because there are some amazing younger musicians.

Saw the Last Waltz way back when in a theatre. A timeless invigorating musical happening.

There will never be another band like The Band. The very best. Up On Cripple Creek.

Wow, this is absolute gold. Like it happened yesterday. Thank Scorsese for capturing this so beautifully.
