Unprecedented in scope and unrivaled in spirit, The Last Waltz transcends both the group it honors and every A-list star that appears. Indeed, The Band's farewell event captures the zeitgeist of a creative period like none other and raises a glass to the communal ethos and artistic electricity that emerged from a time during which foreign wars, political assassinations, and equality inspired an exceptional outburst of originality and innovation. Overflowing with once-in-a-lifetime collaborations and contagious performances, The Last Waltz is here afforded by Mobile Fidelity a version that makes the 1975 shindig come alive with tremendous realism, vigorous energy, and visceral body.Mastered from the original master tapes, Mobile Fidelity's double hybrid SACD set gives listeners a seat mere feet away from the Winterland Ballroom stage. Enhancing overall transparency, this collector's edition boasts supreme separation and full dynamic range, allowing each of the many musicians to occupy their own space in the mix. Details emerge unscathed, tonalities soar, and the soundstage stretches far beyond (and behind) speaker boundaries. You get the sense that you're a VIP guest watching the ceremony as it unfolds, with everything from Garth Hudson's tube-warm organ lines to Robbie Robertson's rounded solos delineated in balanced, rich, and lifelike fashion. The enthusiasm of the performances practically jumps off the proverbial page.Indeed, as The Band's going-away party, The Last Waltz is one of the few albums in any genre where each instrumentalist plays as if every note will be their last. In this case, such circumstances were believed to be true. From the rustic Southern charm of the invigorating opener "Up on Cripple Creek" through a joyous circus-themed run through "Ophelia" to a stellar version of "The Weight" filled with palatable gravitas, The Band gives its all and more, cementing once and for all its permanent mark in the annals of rock's greatest artists.Containing several songs not seen in the companion film, the soundtrack to The Last Waltz unspools as both a journey through one of the greatest catalogs of a single artist as well as a survey of fundamental American music styles and blends. The Band receives assists in the form of horn charts and a full-on brass section via New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint and ace instrumentalists. But, as we all now know, that was only the beginning of what amounts to a blowout affair graced with friends, cohorts, and admirers alike. A Hall of Fame cast helps make The Last Waltz the first and last concert of its kind. Paul Butterfield, Muddy Waters, Pinetop Perkins, Eric Clapton, and Dr. John are among the virtuosos lending a hand on bluesier material. Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond, Van Morrison, Bob Dylan, Ringo Starr, and Ronnie Wood all take turns in assisting the hosts. The Band closes out the party with its own encore set. It is a truly magical affair, one further bettered by the selfless presence of Emmylou Harris, who contributes angelic backing vocals to numerous songs.Recognizing it symbolized the culmination of a special era, The Last Waltz organizers and performers took every precaution to ensure the concert would be an event for the ages. Mobile Fidelity has done the same with this hybrid SACD set.

Theme From The Last Waltz (with Orchestra)PLUS The Band Music from Big Pink on Numbered-Edition Hybrid SACD from Mobile Fidelity Take a Load Off with the Very Best-Sounding Big Pink EverThis Collectible Hybrid SACD Bests All Previous Disc Pressings of this Woodstock ClassicYou’ve likely heard the story. Now hear the results of one of the most famous sessions in history with a clarity and warmth never thought possible. In late 1965 and early 1966, Bob Dylan shattered the boundaries between folk and rock music on a controversial tour that found the generation spokesman plugging in and shocking purist audiences that reviled in horror at the sight of their hero playing electric with a bunch of ragtag Canadian mates. Then known as the Hawks, the Band was that backing group, serving Dylan not only on the road but, playing with him after his motorcycle accident, on his seminal Basement Tapes collection.Recorded in 1968 and ranked #34 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, The Band’s Music From Big Pink stems from the same locale—a pink farmhouse in upstate Woodstock, New York—as the Basement Tapes and is just as rustic, timeless, and mysterious as Dylan’s celebrated work. A debut for the ages, the album features two songs co-written with Dylan—“This Wheel’s on Fire,” “Tears of Rage”—as well as what’s universally recognized as the definitive version of Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released.” More famously, it also includes “The Weight,” a standard covered by everyone from the Grateful Dead to Weezer to Aretha Franklin. But the power of this set doesn’t lie in one song but the entire album.A groundbreaking statement, Music From Big Pink lays bare the magnetism of the American South, Appalachian traditions, and country-rock innovations. That guitarist Robbie Robertson, pianist Garth Hudson, bassist Rick Danko, drummer/vocalist Levon Helm, and organist Richard Manuel are all household names only adds to the proof of this must-have record’s everlasting appeal. This is the majesty of what Greil Marcus called “the old, weird America.”The Band Music From Big Pink Track Listing: 1. Tears Of Rage2. To Kingdom Come3. In A Station4. Caledonia Mission5.
