The Leftover Last Waltz

While previous years have featured a screening of The Last Waltz, a musical documentary filmed and directed by a young Martin Scorsese of the last concert held by Canadian-American rock group, The Band, on Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1976, this year’s benefit, presented in part by Langdon Publishing, will be a live performance of the music from the soundtrack by a band of Tulsa musicians led by Paul Benjaman.

In addition to the concert and meal, the evening will feature a live auction and raffle items, as well as a unique, memory-making photo booth experience.

Sponsorship opportunities are also available. Please contact jim@langdonpublishing.com for info.
