Martin Scorsese’s The Last Waltz was filmed at which San Francisco venue?

Martin Scorsese’s The Last Waltz was filmed at San Francisco’s Winterland Ballroom.

The 1978 concert film documents the farewell performance of The Band, held at Winterland on November 25, 1976. The group performed with numerous guests, including Bob Dylan, Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Ringo Starr, and Neil Diamond.

Scorsese directed the film and used multiple cameras to capture the performance. The concert was billed as The Band’s final appearance as a touring group, although the musicians later reunited and performed together in other contexts.

Winterland Ballroom was a major San Francisco concert venue operated by promoter Bill Graham. The building had previously hosted ice-skating events and was demolished in 1985. The film combines concert footage with interview material featuring members of The Band.
