A film account and presentation of the final concert of The Band.
Thanksgiving, 1976, San Francisco's Winterland: the Band performs its last concert after 16 year on the road. Some number they do alone, some songs include guest artists from Ronnie Hawkin (their firt boss, when they were the Hawks) to Bob Dylan (their last, when as his backup and as a solo group, they came into their own). Scorese's camera explores the interaction ontage in the making of music. Offstage, he interviews the Band's five member, focusing on the nature of life on the road. The friendships, the harmonies, the hijinks, and the wear and tear add up to a last waltz.
