Fillmore Auditorium
November 26 – Thanksgiving Eve
Showtime 8:00 pm / Doors 7:00 pm
Come
join us to make this year’s Last Waltz celebration better than ever and
to ensure the success of the holiday canned food/desired items drive
for the Denver Rescue Mission
The 10th Annual The Last Waltz - Revisited
will be held at the historic Fillmore Auditorium. This event showcases
members of Polytoxic together with over 40 guest musicians from across
Colorado, a full horn section and over 30 songs from The Band’s
extensive catalog - recreating their historical performance, The Last Waltz.
The
concert has become an annual tradition for many of those involved in
the show, as well as for many of the people that come out and see the
show year after year – bringing the community together to kick-off the
holiday season. To
celebrate the last 10 years, they have added special guests and
additional songs from years past. In addition, Buck Perigo will be
opening the show performing Woody Guthrie’s entire Alice’s Restaurant.
Back
in 2005, Denver's number one jam band, Polytoxic, wanted to put on a
show that could showcase all the great local musicians they had been
playing with for the past few years. They decided to re-enact The Band's
The Last Waltz,
a concert film by Martin Scorsese from 1978 of The Band's last
performance that included all of that era's greatest musicians - Eric
Clapton, Dr John, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, etc.
The
show was held at Dulcinea's in Denver's Capitol Hill area on May 25,
2005, and Polytoxic planned on it being a fun little show that would
garner a little bit of interest. It sold out in minutes, surprising the
band and fans alike, and became the biggest show they had ever thrown. So
big, in fact, they decided to do it again in 2005, this time on the
night before Thanksgiving at Cervantes' Masterpiece Ballroom.
Polytoxic's The Last Waltz - Revisited
immediately went from a "fun little" idea at a small venue to one of
the biggest events of the year. It has become an annual tradition,
playing to sold-out capacity crowds.
The Last Waltz
culminates the official Holiday Canned Food and Desired Hygiene Items
Drive that benefits the Denver Rescue Mission. With the support of
Anthony’s Pizza & Pasta, YellowDog Printing & Graphics, KBCO and
Westword, they are again reaching out and seeking to give back to the
community by supporting the Denver Rescue Mission. In addition, they
will be working with KBCO and the Denver Rescue Mission on a VIP Dinner
with the band. There will be a limited number of tickets available for this Dinner with The Band VIP Package.
They
will donate a portion of the show’s proceeds to the Denver Rescue
Mission and they will give any fan that brings 10 or more canned food
items to the venue (on the day of the show) a FREE Special Artwork
Poster.
They
invite you to share this special night with their musical family and
participate in their efforts to collect as many cans of food and desired
items as possible for The Denver Rescue Mission to assist needy
families during this Holiday Season. Please get your tickets early as
the show has sold-out every year in the past!
