Commemorating the history and music of The Band and what is regarded as the greatest rock and roll concert of all time, a number of talented Irish musicians – mostly consisting of members of the Butler family – known as The Group are set for a Last Waltz tribute show in Dublin this summer.
You can catch The 'Live' Last Waltz, a two hour recreation of the original which has been going great guns for a number of years now, in The Olympia Theatre on Friday June 12.
The Last Waltz was a 'farewell to the road' concert in San Francisco in 1976. Special guests on the night performing alongside The Band included Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Ronnie Hawkins, Muddy Waters, Dr. John, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Neil Diamond, Joni Mitchell, Paul Butterfield, poet Lawrence Ferlingetti and many more. A film of the event was directed by Martin Scorsese.
Tickets to the new date are priced from €22.90 and available from Friday from usual outlets.
