The Band Performs Ophelia in The Last Waltz

Next to The Grateful Dead Movie, The Last Waltz is probably my favorite concert movie of all time.

Director Martin Scorsese did such inventive work of digging into the behind the scenes squabbling and mixing it right in with the magic the guys worked on stage...in this case on Thanksgiving 1976.

This cut of Ophelia has a little bit of the interviewing in there so if you want to get to the tune, FF to the 2:30 mark.

Enjoy!
