The Band - The Last Waltz (DVD)

Oh, this is so boring. Been putting off to finish watching it for the past six months. Barring some great guest stars - Neil Young and Neil Diamond, this is a snoozefest from start ot finish. Rote rootsy music with no panache or individual stamp. Even "Gimme That Old Time Religion" is not spared.

The ending all-star line-up is funny though. Notice how Van The Man needs the chorus sung to him. D'oh? I shall be released? And the near homo-erotic expression on Neil Young's face every time he looks at Dylan. I just got this for the Dylan appearance, nothing more. And play the music loud? I doubt the volume is gonna help the quality of The Band's songs much.
