Re: (TV) The Last Waltz

["Raymond" <ray@wavewalker.freeserve.co.uk>]

i'd say Van definitely steals the show though there's plenty of great
moments to savour (if you pass over the Neil Diamond/Ronnie Hawk segments of
course) - it's a great advertisement for not taking cocaine mind- watch and
marvel in particular at Neil Young as he wanders onstage to sing "helpless"
( thereby showing Dylan a chord sequence he will later nick wholesale for
"Knocking on heavens' door") totally out of his gourd and with some of
Colombia's finest export still sticking very visibly to his snozzer

God bless Richard M. and Rick D. they're very much missed....
