Warren Haynes’ tribute to The Last Waltz came and went all too fast. The brief, but incredible run of shows reminded us of what an amazing body of music The Band shared with us.The Last Waltz 40 Tour included a gig with Joan Osborne and most notably, original The Band member Garth Hudson on the keyboards.For the tour finale in Oxon Hill, Garth Hudson joined the band one more time. While the setlist didn’t change much from night to night, during the nights when Garth sat in there was one remarkable break from the regular show—Garth’s organ intro to “Chest Fever.”Thanks to Tom Libera , we have excellent footage of Garth, 79 years young, jamming on the organ as if he was 50 years younger.Theme From the Last WaltzUp on Cripple CreekThe Shape I’m InStage FrightGeorgia on My MindLife Is a CarnivalIt Makes No DifferenceDown South in New OrleansWho Do You Love?This Wheel’s on FireKing Harvest (Has Surely Come)The Night They Drove Old Dixie DownOpheliaCaravanHelplessMystery TrainRag Mama RagMannish BoyKind Hearted Woman BluesFarther Up the RoadSuch a NightForever YoungThe WeightI Shall Be ReleasedThe Genetic MethodChest FeverDon’t Do ItThe Last Waltz 40th Anniversary Band:Warren Haynes – Guitar, VocalsDon Was – BassJamey Johnson – GUitar, VocalsJohn Medeski – KeysMichael McDonald – Keys, VocalsTerrence Higgins – DrumsGuests:Ivan Neville – Keys, VocalsCyril Neville – Percussion, VocalsBob Margola – Guitar, VocalsGarth Hudson – KeysThanks to opsopcopolis for the recording.Photo credit: joshbrickgraphics
