MANCHESTER, NH –  “The Last Waltz” is a great rock documentary celebrating the last concert ever by The Band. It took place Thanksgiving Day in San Francisco, 1976. The great director himself, Martin Scorsese, filmed it.

What came out of that night was one of the most remarkable evenings in music history.  Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Muddy Waters and many other music legends performed songs with The Band that night.

Every song seems to mean something to someone. Wild songs, stoned songs, blues songs, salty songs. On that night in Frisco, every song was a stinger. And since last summer, 20-plus musicians from all parts of New Hampshire have built a show around that very night, billed as “Songs from the Last Waltz.”  

Each artist puts their own spin on a Waltz tune and then delivers it with reverence, owning it. They perform as a group, trios, duos and solo performances, covering the same songs that made that night so special.

“Songs from the Last Waltz” comes to the Jewel Music Venue on March 11 at 8 p.m. Tickets are $10. Click the ticket link.
