This is a great video tribute to The Band...recorded by renowned director Martin Scorsese..and encompasses the performance not only by the title group but over a dozen performers who shared their perspectives and performances. Dylan, 'Slowhand', Joni Mitchell, Muddy Waters, Ron Wood and Ronnie Hawkins are just a few of the greats who appear...and although The Band may have eased into memory no-one who hears "The Weight" can ever forget Levon Helm's voice or drumming. In passing, yes - that really was Levon who played the role of the master gunsmith in "Shooter".

This concert video must be part of the collection of every music lover. If you do, buy the Blu-ray edition. This is not just a concert of one artist/band but many giants of their days are in here. But it and enjoy!!!

Arguably the greatest of all live music movies, this blu-ray version does have MUCH better quality sound and video than the Anniversary Edition--however: The overdub commentary conversation is completely different than the dvd Anniversary Edition. This commentary is between Scorsese and Robertson. While listening to Scorsese can be fascinating, he does have a tendency to digress. This is great if you are in film-school (as it might help you on tests), but he can digress so very much...he totally forgets (or doesn't really care) that the discussion is supposed to be about THIS movie and everything related to it. Listening to Robbie still taking credit for writing all of their songs (making sure he lets us know HE wrote every song i.e.: "I wrote this song..." "I wrote this song..." "I wrote this song...") is upsetting to me (because this was/is a royalty/loyalty issue with The Band), and makes me question just about every "historical anecdote" he makes--and yet it is still all so doggone interesting and worth listening to. Having said all of this, aficionados should ABSOLUTELY own and watch the dvd Anniversary Edition, if only for the commentary done by band members, as well as the guests who played that night. That is a MUST LISTEN! This blu-ray edition is a MUST WATCH/MUST LISTEN as well. DON'T FORGET TO TURN IT UP, FOLKS!Read full review
There are no extras to the packaging, compared to the special edition DVD reissue. The video transfer is very good, and the uncompressed digital sound is great.

One of the greatest concert films of all time. The enhanced Blu-Ray version is extraordinary comparing it to the original VHS.

Scorcese does the greatest job covering music as well as his films. Tastefully done and really informative of the band and the time period.
