HOBOKEN — ALEO-music plans to present a special live performance of “The Last Waltz,” the film documenting The Band’s last ever concert, on Nov. 20 at Northern Soul in Hoboken.
On Thanksgiving Day 1976, The Band gave their final performance at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco, and two years later the documentary film directed by Martin Scorsese was released to wide acclaim.
At 8 p.m. on Nov. 20, some of Hoboken and Jersey City’s finest musicians will perform every song in the movie in the order it appears.
Jaime DeJesus, Jeff Fernandes, Gerry Rosenthal, and Billy Tortoriello will perform as The Band, and local musicians such as Liam Brown, Dave Calamoneri, and Sylvana Joyce will fill in as Van Morrison, Neil Young, and the other all-stars who joined The Band at “The Last Waltz.”
