Robbie Robertson working on reissues

(Launch) - Robbie Robertson, guitarist and chief songwriter for the Band, has been busy working on the extensive reissue campaign for the ensemble's catalog, supervising the remastering of its albums and the selection of bonus tracks from the vaults. Now he's in the midst of working on a new version of "The Last Waltz," the film and album project culled from the Band's 1976 farewell concert on Thanksgiving Day at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco. One of the most legendary live dates in rock and roll history, the show featured an extensive guest list that included Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Dr. John, Emmylou Harris, Muddy Waters, Rolling Stones guitarist Ron Wood and others. The event was captured on film by director Martin Scorsese.
