This is for those who have watched or listened to The Last Waltz up into the triple digits. Those who know every player by name, by album, by instrument, and by history.
The Last Waltz to me is the musical equivalent of fuzzy socks, a warm fire in a log cabin, and an endless glass of whiskey.
Fever in my chest
Ol Frisco fever night
Before the Flood
Starry night
Read your Testimony in the Northern Lights
Weight of Ages
Southern Sages
The Night they Drove Old Dixie’s mages
Feast Thanksgiving’s theater graces
on The Last Waltz plates
Testimony’s pages
I kneel beneath
Southern cross
I walk the line
to find lost voice
I testify
Fat mamma rag
Lead basement floor
The Last Waltz tap dance
Down the river drown
Mississippi Queen
Sing your river hymn
Forgiven Testimony
Clink your glasses stomp your feet
40 years Thanksgiving Anniversary treat
The Last Waltz
Time Machine
Penny to ride
Take a load for free
Robbie throw me the keys
Swamp fog rhythms
Done lay their hands on me
Good ol night
Lead weight hayride
Frisco summer daydream
I waltz with you
Under Winterland stars
Northern light sky above
Ring your bell echo heart
Testimony
Mississippi Queen
I wrote our history down
in a Big Pink hedonistic dream
Before the flood
Swamp mist troubadour
Evangeline done broke my
Cripple fever heart
The night they drove old dixie down
I hung my head with lead weight crown
Cracked rung rusted wedding bells
Cold feet
Stage fright
Chest fever swells
Follow you down
Drown in the flood
Big mamma gonna keep you
Forever young
