A&E > The Last Waltz Tonight on TCM

Tonight Turner Classic Movies is showing a commercial-free New Year's eve broadcast of The Last Waltz, Martin Scorsese's concert documentary about The Band's farewell show. Check local listings for times. It's airing at 10:00 PM Eastern here.

Even if you're not a fan of The Band, tune in for the guest performances by Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris, Joni Mitchell, Muddy Waters, Van Morrison, and others. The Band does an incredible job backing all of them. Their own songs sound great, too, especially anything featuring drummer Levon Helm.

It's funny, Bubba. I was thinking of you when I posted that. I figured you'd be a fan.

Watched it and saved it on Tivo. What an awesome concert. Haven't ever seen the whole movie, I don't think. Thanks again.
