ラストライヴを「豪華ゲストを招いてのイベントライヴ」にしてしまうという発想。そしてそれを映画、アルバムにしてしまうという手法。どんなビッグアーティストでも成し得なかった企画を1970年代半ばにスタイリッシュにやりとげてしまった彼らはやはり偉大だ。リミキシング、リマスタリングによってより臨場感が高まったサウンドはもちろんのこと、オリジナル盤では聴けない24曲の未発表音源の追加はまさに完全盤と呼ぶにふさわしい。マーティン・スコセッシが監督した映画「ラストワルツ」もあわせてチェックすることをおすすめする。（末延仁人）
From Amazon.com
Even taking into account inflation, it's ironic in this era of $250 concert tickets that critics harped when the Band charged $25 for their legendary November 1976 farewell show at San Francisco's Winterland. That price not only included Thanksgiving dinner, but also numerous guest superstars who'd influenced, worked with, and/or shared the Canadian roots of Robbie Robertson and crew. What transpired was a grand celebration of North American musical forms. There are numerous definitive performances here--from Van Morrison's goose-bump-inducing "Caravan" and solo rendition of the beautiful Irish standard "Tura Lura Lural" (Celtic music inspired those Appalachians in the first place) to Bob Dylan and "the Hawks" delivering a pop-metallic "Baby, Let Me Follow You Down," first captured on the
Royal Albert Hall Concert tapes. But because this new fleshed-out version--produced and compiled by Robertson--includes surprises (late blues legend Muddy Waters's endearing take on Louis Jordan's "Caledonia"; current blues legend Dylan's "Hazel"), treasures ("This Wheels on Fire," Neil Young's "Four Strong Winds"), and two jam sessions that just don't add much, the new box set simply matches and enhances--but doesn't top--the original three-LP version of this wonderful slice of rock & roll history.
