A must-see for fans! A documentary about The Band has been released
November 25, 1976, at San Francisco's Winterland Ballroom. In the turbulent late 1970s, one band put an end to their activities. Their name was "The Band." Respected by musicians who have left a great mark on music history, including Bob Dylan, they are one of the most important bands in rock history.


Based on the 2016 autobiography written by guitarist Robbie Robertson, a central member of "The Band," this documentary follows the band's creative journey, filled with talent, good fortune, hardship, and madness, from its inception to recording at "Big Pink," the passionate friendships and conflicts among the members, and their legendary farewell concert, "The Last Waltz."

Executive producers are Martin Scorsese and Ron Howard, and music industry giants such as Bruce Springsteen and Eric Clapton make appearances one after another. It's no exaggeration to say this is a moving film that will resonate with music fans of all generations.
