there should be some joni tunes on this: THE BAND CELEBRATE "WALTZ"'S BIRTHDAY
The BAND's "The Last Waltz" will be released as a four-CD box set on April 16th, marking the twenty-fifth anniversary of the landmark concert and film. The box set, overseen by Band guitarist ROBBIE ROBERTSON, includes the original soundtrack's thirty songs, as well as twenty-four unreleased tracks, including a rehearsal with VAN MORRISON. The film, directed by MARTIN SCORSESE, will briefly return to theaters on April 5th before the release of a special-edition DVD on May 7th. "What's really interesting is to look back and see what a historic event and extraordinary musical collaboration it was," Robertson told Rolling Stone. "The fact that it actually happened is a phenomenon." rollingstone.com 3/11/02 peace, david
