A Musical Artifact.......2007-07-15
Oh, to have been there!.......2007-07-08
Get this album! or I guess the box set, I hear this is harder to find now.
A true classic.......2007-01-06
What the...?.......2006-12-27
It's nice to have a CD of the Concert with "most" of the songs at the concert in it, but What the heck happened to the Bass Guitar Channel? Its Missing! It's soo much more dramatic and exciting with the Bass than w/o the Bass.
Not the discs, but the cassettes.......2004-04-01
Enough has been written about the event itself. Many people are critical of the concept of "farewell concerts," of a group of musicians getting "tired" of touring -- when that is their whole point of existence. Others are critical of the actual music itself, saying that the performance was luke-warm or even sloppy. If one can get past these criticisms, they might just enjoy something special.
I caught a showing of the film on TV in the Mid-90's and was hooked. Not only did the concert make me a fan of The Band, but also of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, and Paul Butterfield. I may have been aware of most of the artists (who *hadn't* heard of Clapton by 1979 or later?), but had not really given their work much thought. Admittedly, i am STILL not a fan of Neil Diamond's, but his inclusion in the show was welcomed and stirring, and displays the talent of the Band as well as their appreciation for the music of others. They are real musicians; i am not. Each guest star came to the stage with a composition of their own - the Band took it, made it better without upstaging the artist, and turned it into a great live performance.
You can disagree with the motivation behind the show, or allude to its artificiality, but you can't argue with serendipity. This event was an important moment in 20th-Century music. Some of the best examples of recorded-live music are here, especially Van Morrison's Caravan, Joni Mitchell's Coyote, and the Band's own Up on Cripple Creek. Good stuff.

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. --Bill HoldshipAlbum Description

"The Weight" is over, this is the version to buy!.......2007-06-03
"The Last Waltz" is more than a live record. It is a reminder of one of the finest (Although saddest) evenings in rock history. Robbie Robertson and the guys would no longer be found on the road. If they had to say goodbye lucky for us they would touch the earth when numerous friends helped to solidify the event as a tribute to great musicians and songwriters.
If you want to experience the mark "The Band" left in the musical universe look at the cast of characters that would share the stage during the epic event. They came from the blues world- Ronnie Hawkins and Muddy Waters, the blues-rock of Eric Clapton and Paul Butterfield were proud to be in the roll call, from the folk side long time friend Bob Dylan seemed so right playing with Robbie and the gang. There was Neil Diamond and many eyes wondered why, it is called mutual respect. Ask how "The Band" and Neil felt about each others ability. There was a guy named Ringo from Liverpool, he knew something about greatness and Neil Young perfect for the energy he brought and sincere appreciation for the sound of "The Band." Obviously I am leaving out a host of cohorts, only because of lack of room.
With the extraordinary bonus material this can't escape any fan of "The Band." If you heard it previously, it will be a new experience. If this is your first time hold on for the ride of your life.
"The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down", "Further On Up The Road", and "I Shall Be Released" are three of the many staples of this collection. You will be so engrossed with the playing and the song selection be prepared to miss a meal or two and not be on time to the next office meeting.
I was in Louisville, Kentucky not long ago for a lecture with Tom Constanten from the Grateful Dead, and the amazing rock photographer Don Aters. One of the fine local musicians Brigid Kaelin told me once a year an event is booked somewhere in Kentucky where the music of "The Last Waltz" is recreated. When we talk timeless and ceaseless it is not a cliché it is a rock and roll reality.
Let's go back in time and marvel at the sounds of the various men and women that made the rock nothing short of a diamond.
Enjoy the music and be well,
Craig Fenton

Review of the Last Waltz.......2007-05-13
Love the music.
Great Gift Idea.......2007-04-02
The only way to experience The Last Waltz on CD.......2007-01-12
When the concert is good, it's great. Van Morrison's "Caravan" is a transcendent rock and roll moment, and The Band really cuts it up on some of their own material, like Rick Danko's classic "Stage Fright" vocal and The Band's final, barnstorming encore, "Don't Do It." A lot of great songs are on here that didn't make it to the movie either, like the group affair "Acadian Driftwood" with Neil Young and Joni Mitchell, and Neil Young's "Helpless," which sounds great with The Band's vocalists as backup singers. The rehearsals are great too, with "King Harvest" as a highlight (I still don't know why they're withholding the actual live version of this classic).
When The Last Waltz is mediocre, though, it's pretty mediocre. For instance, "Out of the Blue." With three amazing vocalists, Robbie Robertson's egotistical advancement of his own middling voice is pretty disappointing. A few of the takes are pretty middle of the road too, like the live "The Weight," and the rushed "W.S. Walcott's Medicine Show." Neil Diamond, though he performs his song with his usual grace (I admit it, I'm a fan) doesn't really belong with The Band on such an important night. Sorry Robbie.
Overall, The Last Waltz is a solid experience on CD, but it's definitely overshadowed by the truly essential film version of the concert which has great visuals and interview footage (not to mention a lot of close-ups of Robbie, thanks to Marty's infatuation with the guitarist). As a CD it doesn't capture the visual scope of the night and can't compare to the performing quality of Rock of Ages, the group's first and superior live album. If you're going to buy The Last Waltz on CD, though, this one has the most music and captures ALL of the best moments, where the other versions are even more heavily-edited and miss out on some of the greatness.

Novelist Cormac McCarthy's literary vision of the wild west is given wide-screen treatment by maverick director Billy Bob Thornton and a cast that includes Matt Damon, Penelope Cruz, and Bruce Dern. Professional country music journeyman Marty Stuart has performed with father-in-law Johnny Cash, Earl Scruggs, and Doc Watson, in addition to a successful solo career. In his soundtrack scoring debut, he provides short, meditative instrumental pieces that are subtly explosive--rife as they are with strains of old-school country and bluegrass. Cinematic strings and orchestral percussion add a welcome menacing edge, augmenting the rustic approach without crossing over into a compromised "countrypolitan" sound. If anything, it might be nice to hear these themes extended. As it stands, the 23 listed tracks are covered in a little under 50 minutes, with many of the cuts barely lasting more than a minute or two. They stand as a new genre of cinematic country minimalism. --Rob O'ConnorCustomer Reviews:
Great western soundtrack.......2004-02-28
Features two vocal pieces, the first a spanish song sung by the very talented Raul Malo of the country group the mavericks, the second song is a beautiful ballad sung by Marty Stuart. Though I never owned any cd's of Marty Stuart he earns my respect with composing this film score.(cowboy hats off to you Mr.Stuart)

On this second album by Megan Hickey's band, her nine originals are joined by a spare and emotive reworking of David Bowie's "Modern Love." It is built around her breathy but resonant vocals and her lap steel guitar, the minimal accompaniment (drums, bass, violin, guitar) judiciously utilized for an overall sound that feels old but sounds new. Her lap steel playing truly lends this release its most identifiable and idiosyncratic element. Hickey is capable of slashing density (as on "Caroline"), high and lonesome melodicism ("Boat"), and atmospheric sweeps ("Foreign Land"), but often moving from one approach to another within a given song, seamlessly altering or embellishing moods. She has also come up with songs that have a life of their own. One can imagine songs like "Wintering in Brooklyn" and "It's Not Over" being played by others. Self-produced and recorded, Megan Hickey has a fully formed sense of purpose and a willingness to push herself, not only making this album a powerful work, but raising expectations for anything she decides to do next. --David GreenbergerAlbum Description
The distorted cry of a lap-steel guitar slices through the Brooklyn night. A voice sings with aching sweetness and strength. Caressing melodies are barbed with stinging solors. This is the sound of The Last Town Chorus--the revolving ensemble led by singer/writer/lap-steel-guitarist Megan Hickey.Customer Reviews:

It's an album for listening to (a bunch of times) when you want to feel nostalgic and older, and better for it. Favorite tracks are her David Bowie cover, 'Wire Waltz,' 'I Want You,' and 'Huntsville.'

Some little gems there that I had forgotten!.......2007-03-30
I found it to be a very good selection overall, but I felt too much had already been heard on TV, which of course is what lots of newcomers to classical music might appreciate. I managed to find about 2 hours of tracks that I wanted to keep, which works out quite expensive per disc, but I did find some wonderful music I had completely forgotten about, so it was worth it. All in all, it represents good value, and I have only knocked one star off as so much of it had been used in adverts.
It is definitely a good introduction to classical music, and it has made me want to listen to more of it, so I don't regret this 'expensive' purchase one bit!
Classical Masterpieces of the Millennium [20 CD Set]
A very helpful collection.......2007-03-24
To criticize the set for not containing more composers, or more than just snippets of those who are in the set, is missing the point: it is a helpful introduction to finding your way in the huge maze of classical music. It succeeds admirably in this.
Sound quality is uniformly very good on an audiophile system.
Highly recommended.
Excellent!.......2007-03-08

Customer Reviews:
Where Are You My Brothers.......2005-08-04
songs of courage, loneliness, patriotism.......2004-08-02
Though the focus of the songs is WWII, some were written as early as 1905 ("The Hills of Manchuria"), to the wonderful "Cranes" from 1969, and "Somewhere Far Away" was the title for a TV series ("17 Moments of Spring"), about a Russian spy in Nazi Germany, that was shown in 1973.
Some songs are more sublime than others, like "Unexpected Waltz" and "On a Nameless Hill", but there isn't a single composition that isn't filled with beauty and performed to perfection. Hvorostovsky has a voice that is a gift of God, with the technique of a master, and the soul of a true artist.
He is backed brilliantly by Constantine Orbelian and the Moscow Chamber Orchestra, the folk group Style of Five, and the rousing sound of the Spiritual Revival Choir of Russia.
The booklet insert is excellent, with liner notes, bios, lyrics in English and transliterated Russian; the sound is good and total playing time is 57'28.
The most beautiful male voice there is.......2003-12-26
I attended his recent opera(War and Peace /Onegin) and recital in Tokyo. This was his first public performances in Tokyo, yet he was extremely popular here. He received mountain of flowers and presents, and for autograph session, nobody seemed to left the house. His high quality of vocal art, stylish and expressive singing and at most striking impact on his stage presence were overwelming. I hope he'll come back again.

Anyway, I saw Andre Rieu on a PBS special on television and it looked like such an awesome, high-energy concert! The CD is not so exciting, but it is worth buying just for that beautiful aria.
