On The Band, am I the only one who thinks "The Last Waltz" is extremely overrated? Mainly due to the guest slots. The Band themselves are great.

[Mardy]

The Band are wonderful, the Last Waltz is very hit and miss, some of it is great, some of it is terrible, depends so much on the guest. Neil Diamond has a shocker, for example, but love the Ronnie Hawkins bit, for example, and Mavis Staples singing 'The Weight' is sublime.

anyway, RIP Levon, great drummer, great singer, great beard.
