Overview
In November of 1976, the Canadian-American rock band known as The Band played what they deemed their farewell concert appearance. Neil Young, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Neil Diamond, Van Morrison and Eric Clapton joined them on stage, and none other than Martin Scorsese filmed the show. The iconic music documentary The Last Waltz immortalised the occasion.
Brisbane musician Danny Widdicombe wasn't even one at the time of the gig, but now, on the eve of turning 40, he considers the soundtrack recording his favourite live album of all time. He's not only using it as a springboard for his first-ever birthday shindig, but as a fitting way to celebrate the not-so-minor the achievement of living with leukaemia for half of his life.
Widdicombe will be joined by his own posse of musical pals and collaborators to play the album live in its entirety. With the likes of Bernard Fanning, Jeff Lang, Ian Haug, The Wilson Pickers, The Gin Club, Karl Broadie, Jackie Marshall, McKisko and Luke Daniel Peacock joining the jam session — plus more still to be announced — this promises to be one heck of a party.
