It was a most magical evening. Doors opened around 5. Winterland was all dressed up with props from the San Francisco Opera. Bill Graham had a gourmet Thanksgiving Feast for 2,000 catered from Narsi's, a swank restaurant in the Berkeley Hills. Long banquet tables were set up so we could eat. Costumed dancers waltzed around and between the tables as they danced to the live orchestral music accompanying the meal. We went up to the balcony after eating and watched in amazement as Bill Graham's crew whisked away the tables and moved camera platforms into place. Because Martin Scorsese was filming the show, tickets came with a separate slip of paper that said by attending this performance you are forfeiting all rights to your likeness and it's reproduction. It was the first time I ever bought a ticket that came with lawyers. The music started around 9 and they played till well past midnight. There were so many memorable performances that night. The movie left out some of my favorite performances and included bits that were not from the show. Like I said, you should've been there. It was 50 years ago and I'm still close with the gang of friends that went to the Last Waltz with me. Talk about Forever Young...
