Boulder Theater Presents The Last Waltz Revisited Featuring Polytoxic 11/19

Westword and Z2 Entertainment present The Last Waltz Revisited featuring Polytoxic at the Boulder Theater on Friday November 19th.

Back in 2005, Denver's number one "jamband", 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 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 Cervante's Masterpiece Ballroom

Polytoxic's "The Last Waltz Revisited" immediately went from a "fun little" idea at a small venue to their biggest event of the year. It has become an annual event, playing to capacity crowds. This year marks the 6th anniversary of their "Last Waltz Revisited", and it boasts over 40 guest musicians from across Colorado, a full horn section, and over 30 songs from The Bands extensive catalog, focusing primarily on songs played at The Last Waltz. It has become a 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. This year we have Buck Perigo opening the show at 9:00, performing Woody Guthrie's entire "Alice's Restaurant".

To further the community aspect of the show, Tabima Enterprises (the Production Company that runs the show) brought in The Denver Rescue Mission as an affiliated charity, encouraging the donations of canned food for the homeless, and contributing a percentage of the ticket sales to the organization. This year we are lucky to also have the support of our sponsors Anthony's Pizza & Pasta and The Westword.
