It's come to my attention that there are a number of fans of The Band here so here's a threat to celebrate one of the greatest concert movies ever made.
Which is your favourite track, does it feature a guest star? If not then who was your favourite guest star?
I'm very torn, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young and Van the Man are all so amazing. So is everyone really. But Dylan, my life's idol in his iconic white fedora launching effortlessly into "Forever Young" surrounded by the old friends who supported him ten years ago on tour... It doesn't get any better for me.
Let's here your faves, ya bunch of old hippies  |

"Forever Young from his Royal Bobness is sublime. I gotta watch that again today."
It's just beautiful. He was in such an amazing creative period and already had such an amazing legacy. There's no one like him. Scorsese only topped the Last Waltz when he Made No Direction Home. I can't thank my parents enough for naming me after one of his songs. |

It's my favourite, too
I was playing the studio version in the house one day and an ex told me she thought it was crap, as she only knew and therefore preferred the Joan Baez version....  |

That's why she's an ex, right? |

I’ve seen Bob and the Who several times, I’d have loved to have seen them in their prime. |

Van the man high kicking his way off stage is indeed a sight to behold.
Levon singing The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down is sublime.
Dr John always makes me smile.
But, the older I get, the more I love Coyote by Joni Mitchell.
Great concert by a great Band. |

"Such a night by Dr John...saw him play it live in Edinburgh...I was close enough to reach out and touch him if I wanted-best seats at a gig I ever got."
Great choice |

I'm not gonna disagree with the OP. Dylan was great with that song(one off my funeral songs I reckon. At least it was when I was in myy maudlin twenties..). But yeah Neil Young also, even though I'm not a massive fan.
Oh. And the fat bearded fella(not Doctor John). Can't remember the song. |

"I have to admit that I've never even heard of this film, I will find it and watch it as soon as I can.
Cal"
Wow I never imagined this would actually inspire people to watch it, that is just so cool. Its a wonderful film, the interviews are great as well as the music clips. Omg no one's even mentioned Eric Clapton duelling with Robbie or Muddy Waters doing his thing. Or that sublime performance of Evangeline with Emmy Lou Harris. |
