The Jam crew is also giving us a little something special this year. Nearly 40 years to the month that The Band performed their last concert (Nov 25, 1976) Warren Haynes’ supergroup, The Last Waltz Band, will be playing songs from that show. While they do plan to take their act on the road in January, this will be only the second time that they have performed together, the first being a pair of shows that sold out almost instantly during Jazzfest in New Orleans this year.
The exact lineup is unknown but it has been announced that the group will definitely include Haynes, Michael McDonald, bassist Don Was, Jamey Johnson, drummer Terence Higgins, and keyboardist John Medeski. In addition, the original Last Waltz in ’76 featured horn arrangements from New Orleans legend Allen Toussaint, making it seem inevitable that George Porter Jr. and Branford Marsalis will at some point share the stage as well.
