Concert Themes

Concert themes include historic concerts, classic album shows, and their iconic collaborations with Bob Dylan.
The Last Waltz Celebration
On Thanksgiving Day 1976, San Francisco’s Winterland Arena was the site of a farewell concert hosted by The Band that featured a who’s who of rock royalty from Bob Dylan, Neil Young and Eric Clapton to Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell and Ronnie Hawkins. The event was later immortalized in Martin Scorsese’s landmark film, “The Last Waltz.” Gary Solomon, co-founder of The THE BAND Band, happened to be in the audience that night. Decades later he and a large cast of musician friends recreate that magical evening in theaters around the country. "I was so blown away by the experience of being at The Last Waltz, I wanted to tell the whole world about it" he says. "I guess I still do."
Dylan and The Band
Bob Dylan and The Band will forever be remembered as one of the most creative and influential musical partnerships in rock and roll, from Dylan’s first world tour after “going electric” in 1965 to his roof-raising performance at The Last Waltz. The THE BAND Band celebrates this historic collaboration with such classics as "Like A Rolling Stone," "All Along The Watchtower" and "Just Like A Woman," as well as Band favorites like "The Weight," "Up On Cripple Creek," and "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down."
Stage Fright - The Concert
From a little pink house outside of town to a certain festival bearing its name, The Band is inextricably linked to Woodstock. In August 1970, The Band released their third album, Stage Fright, recorded at the Woodstock Playhouse. Now, The THE BAND Band performs the album in its entirety, including some of its best-known songs, “The Shape I’m In,” “W.S. Walcott Medicine Show," and “Stage Fright.”
Woodstock
The Woodstock Music & Art Fair is widely regarded as a pivotal moment in popular music history, and is celebrated at festivals and revivals around the world. No Woodstock recreation is complete without the music of The Band.

Fifty years ago, The Band, the Allman Brothers, and the Grateful Dead performed at The Summer Jam at Watkins Glen before an estimated 600,000 fans. It was the largest rock concert audience ever. The THE BAND Band joins Allman and Dead tribute bands to recreate this historic event.
