The Band's Historic Finales on six 180g vinyl LPs for the first time. Complete audio from the concert, including rehearsals and outtakes, presented in an ornate lift-top box. The Last Waltz was a concert by The Band held on Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1976, at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco.

By 1976, Robbie Robertson was weary of touring. After having to cancel tour dates due to Richard Manuel's suffering a severe neck injury in a boating accident, Robertson urged the Band to retire from touring and conceived of a "farewell concert" known as The Last Waltz.

Guests artists appearing in the concert include Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Ronnie Hawkins, Bob Dylan, Muddy Waters, Dr. John, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Ronnie Wood, Neil Diamond, and more.

The Band, more than any other group, put rock and roll back in touch with its roots. With their ageless songs and solid grasp of musical idioms, the Band reached across the decades, making connections for a generation that was, as an era of violent cultural schisms wound down, in desperate search of them. They projected a sense of community in the turbulent late Sixties and early Seventies - a time when the fabric of community in the United States was fraying. Guitarist Robbie Robertson drew from history in his evocative, cinematic story-songs, and the vocal triumvirate of bassist Rick Danko, drummer Levon Helm and keyboardist Richard Manuel joined in rustic harmony and traded lines in rich, conversational exchanges. Multi-instrumentalist Garth Hudson provided musical coloration in period styles that evoked everything from rural carnivals of the early 20th century to rock and roll revues of the Fifties.
