The concert footage was the best aspect of The Last Waltz. The songs were great, in particular "The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down," "The Weight," and "It Makes No Difference" as well as when Bob Dylan joined them on stage for "Forever Young," "Baby Let Me Follow You Down," and "I Shall Be Released." Van Morrison and Neil Diamond (Why was he there anyway?) were the only exceptions. The interviews were awkward and unnatural. Martin Scorcese was annoying and nerdy and shouldn't have been in the film at all. His buddy, Robbie Robertson, hogged the spotlight, which grew tiring. Rick Danko was much more interesting and deserved more attention.
