The 'Last' and the Best

Thirty-seven years ago tonight, The Band played their last gig, with friends, at Winterland in SF, later immortalized in The Last Waltz.  I was invited but couldn't fly out from NY and, after all, it was Thanksgiving.  Well, I also missed Woodstock and it was only a few hours away.   Remember the cool story about The Hawks playing Jack Ruby's club in Dallas?  The Skyline, because it was burned out and had no roof.  Another highlight: Van the Man.  And he had to be coaxed from his hotel at last minute to do it. Below that, by popular demand:  uncut version of "Don't Do It."
