Director Martin Scorsese let loose seven world-class cinematographers, including Michael Chapman, Vilmos Zsigmond and Laszlo Kovacs to capture for posterity the last concert given by The Band (once notably linked to Bob Dylan) in San Francisco in 1976. The result - 90 per cent concert and 10 per cent rock history - features many of the greatest dinosaurs of rock on a simple but effective stage dressed for an opera production of La Traviata. Part celebration, part a footnote in the history of the group, the film is a rock-music triumph, choreographed by a master storyteller, and you also get precious glimpses of Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Neil Dimaond, Van Morrison and Muddy Waters.
