The Band: “Shape I’m In“. & Ronnie Hawkins: “Who Do You Love“.

From the movie “The Last Waltz“ ... I’ve got it on a VCR tape from a TV showing, then I bought the subsequent releases on commercial VHS tape / DVD, and now the Blu Ray edition. It’s a bit sad watching it now that Richard, Rick and Levon are no longer with us, but it’s a movie that captured a moment in time when “The Band“ were about to split up, yet are seen here playing what might have been one of their finest performances. There might have been a fair bit of acrimony behind the scenes, but the film shows “The Band“ preserved on film, and as a live music lover from a generation that hasn’t much in the way of quality concert recordings ... I give thanks for this recording of The Thanksgiving Day Concert from 1976.
