Due to some scheduling conflicts, a few of The Last Waltz 40 shows have been canceled, but luckily the last three are still on! Last week, Warren Haynes and friends pulled into L.A. to play at another Orpheum theater (their show on the 9th was at the Orpheum in Chicago.)
This show in L.A. featured the full The Last Waltz 40 cast plus a slew of friends. Special guests that joined Warren and the band included Dr. John, Cyril Neville, Taj Mahal, Dave Malone and the ultimate special guest, original The Band member Garth Hudson.
The Orpheum was treated to a whopping 26 rock and blues classics over two sets—the show clocks in at nearly three hours! In addition to music by The Band, The Last Waltz 40 band covers legendary tunes from Bob Dylan, CSNY, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and more.
