The Newton Theatre proudly presents The Last Waltz Celebration on Friday, May 24th at 8:00pm. Tickets start at $39.
The THE BAND Band presents a celebration of The Last Waltz, bringing to life one of the most historic concerts of the rock era.
On Thanksgiving Day in 1976, concertgoers packed San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom to witness The Last Waltz - the final performance of The Band’s legendary 16-year career.
The farewell party they hosted that Thanksgiving night featured a who’s who of rock royalty from Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Eric Clapton to Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Ronnie Hawkins. The THE BAND Band recreates the music and the magic of that Thanksgiving evening with The Last Waltz Celebration, performing The Band's most beloved songs and enlisting a dozen guest musicians to the cover numerous artists and songs featured in the original concert. The lineup includes fiddle player Larry Packer, who played with The Band at the original concert in 1976.
