Information:

The THE BAND Band is back at SOPAC!

From Woodstock to The Last Waltz, The Band has been at the center of rock and roll’s most esteemed happenings. They are regarded as one of the most popular and influential Rock groups and are considered to be pioneers of Americana music.

The Last Waltz, The Band’s legendary Thanksgiving 1976 farewell concert that was immortalized in Martin Scorsese’s 1978 music documentary of the same name, featured more than a dozen guest artists including Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, and Eric Clapton, and showcased The Band’s classic hits like “The Weight,” “Up On Cripple Creek,” “The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down,” “Ophelia,” and “It Makes No Difference,” to name a few.

The THE BAND Band’s Last Waltz Celebration is a spectacular tribute revisiting that magical Thanksgiving evening. In addition to performing The Band’s hits, reminiscent of The Last Waltz, The THE BAND Band also becomes the backing band for the guest artists representing many of the special guest performances from that night: Bob Dylan’s “Forever Young,” Ronnie Hawkins’ “Who Do You Love,” Van Morrison’s “Caravan,” and so many more.
