At this week’s Weston real estate movie night, the viewers got to watch the timeless concert film by Martin Scorsese, The Last Waltz. Released in 1978, but filmed on Thanksgiving Day 1976, America’s greatest director captured the Band’s enormous farewell gig for the big screen. In front of 5,000 cheering fans, as well as the participants of Weston real estate movie night, the Canadian country-soul-R&B group were joined by the best of the best, ranging from the legendary Bob Dylan and Muddy Waters to Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Neil Young and Joni Mitchell.
As pointed out by a gentleman with a home for sale in Weston, the technical crew spent three weeks setting up and only one day of actual shooting, the cinematographic record of the Band’s final stand. On top of the superb performances and studio interviews with the fellas from the Band, focusing on guitarist and vocalist Robbie Robertson detailing stories of their lives on the road for viewers at the Weston real estate movie night.
Making the rockumentary unique anything ever seen at the Weston real estate movie night, all of sequences were recorded with wide-angle, 35-millimeter cameras. But the highly polished long shots never seem to be stemming from hand-held cameras. The Last Waltz has a dark and formal look feel to it, as viewers never see daylight. The guy with the Weston home for sale pointed out that the picture focuses on merely the music and the talented artists behind it all, unlike the unique footage of the colorful audience members throughout the Scorsese-edited Woodstock.
Another person with a Weston home for sale made a claim; Supposedly in 1993, Scorsese explained his precise editing of the picture to reporter Gavin Smith “I wanted to get the impression of the richness of the texture of a night at the opera and the audience almost being more interesting to look at than what was going on onstage. I wanted to get a visual counterpart to the power of the music, again by listening to the music and envisioning the camera moves.”
While attendees of the Weston real estate movie night all agree that the Band puts out a stellar performance paying homage to the blues and country music, Dylan steals the show with his live interpretations of “Forever Young” and “Baby, Let Me Follow You Down.” The Fab Ringo joins Ron Wood for “I Shall Be Released,” Ronnie Hawkins sings the blues with “Who Do You Love,” and the distinguished Van Morrison sings “Caravan.” The Weston real estate movie night members soaked it up.
The owner of a Weston luxury home claims that Clapton shreds on his guitar during “Further On Up the Road,” while an elderly Muddy Waters delivers the phenomenal “Mannish Boy.” Mitchell is at home singing “Coyote,” and Young offers a memorable version of “Helpless.” Folks at the Weston real estate movie night also love a couple of heartfelt poems read to the crowd.
Finally, an obscure member at the Weston real estate movie night pointed out that The Last Waltz was conceived as “an opera,” and proves Scorsese’s “deep love affair with rock.” The statement has been more than obvious on his timeless soundtracks, such as Goodfellas, Bringing Out the Dead and Gangs of New York. Watch for one of the modern classics at next week’s Weston real estate movie night.
