I could have taken any performance from The Last Waltz, but this one with Van Morrison always stands out in my mind as unforgettable. Van is on fire with his vocals and is more animated than usual in his performance and The Band is incredible as always. I won’t say too much more about the performance, but what it really comes down to is that The Last Waltz is the greatest concert DVD ever put to film. Not only does it capture a band at its peak performing for the last time, but it captures an entire generation and era of music. The ‘zeitgeist’ if you will. Plus having Martin Scorsese directing things makes it real pretty to look at. Do yourself a favor and watch the entire concert sometime. Until then, here’s Van Morrison singing “Caravan” backed up by The Band:
