You of course have to like the music to enjoy the film. Not just The Band, but Bob Dylan, Dr. John, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Eric Clapton, and more. But if you do enjoy this type of Seventies rock/blues this is one of the better concert films I've seen. Of course Martin Scorsese probably has a lot to do with that. Apparently the filming was well-planned with a full crew, not just pointing a camera at the stage and letting it run. That can work well, too, sometimes, but this was masterfully done. Particularly interesting was Levon Helm, singing the songs he wrote while playing drums. While it was sad that The Band was breaking up, most Sixties and Seventies rock band that have kept on plugging, are not at all good anymore. Stones and The Who, I'm looking at you.
