"The Last Waltz" was one hell of a concert. Guest star after guest star, a veritable crescendo of talent. From great to legendary to iconic to immortal, out they came to give The Band a sendoff for the ages. Might be the best rock concert ever.
 
Seems like this recruiting thing is becoming an obsession. :cool:

Can't help but wonder where I'm bound

 
I think we all could use a little patience

 
This one is from another perspective....there's a neat, subtle twist in the last chorus....

Carly Simon - You're So Vain


My horse never won at Saratoga, I've been to Nova Scotia (but not for an eclipse of the sun, and I walked directly into Carly Simon after finishing a road race in the late 80s. She is very tall was wearing one of those hats from the cover of "You're So Vain." Nice laugh...

Chilmark Road Race?
 
Chilmark Road Race?

Yup...when they still had the Flea Market in the Church Parking lot and her brother Peter was selling his photos and calendars.

I used to love that flea market. And Peter was/is a piece of work. I liked his show on MVY though. I won a contest he had once and he sent me a very cool photo of Jerry as the prize. Come to think of it, I need to find that photo. Haven't seen it since a move several years ago.

Did you ever catch any of the Ululaters shows at the Chilmark Community Center? Those were always a highlight. And almost as sweaty as the Road Race.

I did not. My kids were very, very young at that point and it was a challenge to get them home from the beach. Heard great things.
Movies at the Center were always a sweatathon. I just did the Road Race this year...gosh I have a quilt made from the Shirts I've done it so often.

Play beach volleyball at Lucy the week before the race with a varied bunch of people I've gotten to know very well over the decades. Multi-generational now. Just about my favorite 10-day to two-week stretch of the year, with virtually a daily visit to Larsen's being the only decision of note I have to make (which fish to grill tonight?) :-)

That's heaven right there.

I'm headed out there in a couple weeks for my wedding anniversary--we met and got married there, apparently right around the time you were chasing your kids around. The only thing better than summer there is September imo. I can almost taste the Larsen's oysters as I type...

You'll get no argument from me, that's for sure. Have a great time. Everyone of my 4 children has been there every year of their lives. And both my daughters have every intention of getting married there as well. Every nickel saved....;):cool: Completely worth it.

Thanks . You'd be surprised at how well you can pull off a wedding out there without breaking the bank. Well at least 20 years ago it was. Most important thing is booking everything yourself and not telling anyone you book that it's a wedding. There are places like the Sailing Camp Park that you can rent and bring in everything yourself, including beer/booze, bartenders, tables, caterers, band, etc. Everyone loves a lobster bake, and it costs less per person than a crappy wedding banquet menu. To this day, my own wedding is still the best one I ever attended.

The captivating climactic moment:

With Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Muddy Waters, Van Morrison, Neil Diamond and Eric Clapton (and The Band) all on stage, the inimitable Bob Dylan came out and delivered:

"May God bless you always. . . May your wishes all come true. . . May you stay. . . Forever Young, , , Forever Young!"

(a little echo of the Old Testament - Book of Numbers?)

I love The Last Waltz and am still a sucker to watch it every time I can, but I still get annoyed every time at what a heavy hand Scorsese and Robbie had in editing it to feature and promote Robbie, the preening peacock, at the expense of the others.
