This movie put The Band into my permanent LP collection. Rest in peace Mr. Hudson, play your last waltz as you cross over.

When Levon went, it crushed me. And Robbie, I thought would live another decade. I will continue to watch the Last Waltz every Thanksgiving and relish in their talent and that of their many invited guests.
