Episode 158 - The Last Waltz (1978)


Listen Later

Stinking Pause – the movie review podcast with Scott, who this week is joined by Paul and Charlie to chat about turkey dinners, Van Morrison’s amazing resemblance to Rick Flair and Neil Young’s airbrushed coke booger.

As lockdown restrictions ease, hopefully this will be our final episode recorded over Skype as, quite frankly, the sound quality is definitely not up to scratch with several drop outs along the way. For this we can only apologise, but rest assured, things sound a little better further in as we review Martin Scorcese’s The Last Waltz from 1978.

Apologies also to Ken Bruce and the legendary Popmaster quiz as we desperately try to recreate this national institution…with, shall we say, mixed results?

Seventeen years after joining forces as the backing band for rockabilly cult hero Ronnie Hawkins, Canadian roots rockers The Band call it quits with a lavish farewell show at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom on Nov. 25, 1976. Filmed by Martin Scorsese, this documentary features standout performances by rock legends such as Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell and Muddy Waters, as well as interviews tracing the group's history and discussing road life.

“He called me up, and I said, "Sure I'd like a job. What does it mean? What do I do?" And he said, "Well, son, you won't make much money, but you'll get more pussy than Frank Sinatra."
