I have a yearly tradition of watching The Last Waltz right before Thanksgiving
The Band held a farewell concert in San Francisco on Thanksgiving Day November 25, 1976
Martin Scorsese filmed the concert along with interviews of The Band which became the documentary
The Last Waltz
They served a seated Thanksgiving dinner before the concert. Scorsese used famed
set designer Boris Leven. Leven used very formal drapes and huge crystal chandeliers to set the stage. I love how the band members are all in suits and very dressed up at the start of the show and as the concert progresses they start to take jackets off and you start to physically see what it takes to perform on stage for hours.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!!!!!!
