'This film should be played loud!’ declare The Last Waltz’s opening credits. Criterion Collection’s new 4K restoration – supervised by director Martin Scorsese, with Robbie Robertson overseeing the soundtrack – ensures that cinema audiences can enjoy the best possible presentation of The Band’s epic 1976 farewell show at San Franciso’s Winterland Ballroom. The Canadian rockers were joined onstage by an array of special guests, including Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan, The Staple Singers, Van Morrison, Muddy Waters and a totally wired Neil Young. [U]
