Besides a Beatles' record, I truly think nothing can compare to this record. I spoke of the DVD on Thanksgiving when it was the anniversary of this concert, but I just had to speak of it again this week. With special guests like Ringo Starr, Emmylou Harris, Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, and many more, there is no doubt that this really was the celebration The Band wanted it to be. If I had to pick a favorite from this record, I'm going to say it is "Evangeline" featuring Emmylou Harris. But, "Theme From The Last Waltz" is amazing, too. The music in this song is absolutely incredible.
