Set List Unveiled for THE LAST WALTZ REVISITED at Sydney Opera House

Following the announcement last month of THE LAST WALTZ REVISITED shows at the Sydney Opera House, there's been lots of online chatter about which songs will be performed by which members of the cast when they revisit one of the most significant rock and roll events in music history on 1 and 2 April.

With less than a month until the RocKwiz Orkestra, featuring James Black, Peter Luscombe, Ashley Naylor and Bill MacDonald and augmented by a four-piece horn section led by The Bamboos' Phil Noy take the stage, our sensational line-up of homegrown singers - Richard Clapton, Tim Rogers, Paul Dempsey, Kevin Borich, Olympia and Vika & Linda Bull - have finished duking it out for which songs they'll each perform.

Originally held at the Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco as their farewell concert, The Last Waltz brought together rock and roll royalty to pay tribute to everyone's favourite group, The Band. Bob Dylan, Van Morrison, Joni Mitchell, Muddy Waters, Neil Young, Eric Clapton and others performed an incredible variety of well-known and cult hits.

The set list for THE LAST WALTZ REVISITED will be:

It Makes No Difference, The Shape I'm In, Stagefright - Tim Rogers

Up On Cripple Creek, Caravan, Such a Night - Richard Clapton

Ophelia, Forever Young, The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down - Paul Dempsey

Further On Up The Road, Mannish Boy, Who Do You Love - Kevin Borich

Coyote, Forever Young, Helpless - Olympia

The Weight, Don't You Do It - Vika & Linda Bull

I Shall Be Released - Full Cast

"I looked to my left and right and behind, and see not only some of my favourite musicians in the world but my favourite people. We wink at each other and try inject some swing and love into these songs we adore. I was high in hog heaven my friends. Just enough respect to remember the chords and words, but these songs have gotta breathe. Toke in the air ladies and gentlebums," Tim Rogers said on playing THE LAST WALTZ REVISITED with RocKwiz at Melbourne's State Theatre

Introduced by RocKwiz co-host and writer, Brian Nankervis, this is your chance to hear the stories (and the myths) behind the concert and to witness the incredible music, performed live by a star-studded Australian cast.

The RocKwiz Team first performed THE LAST WALTZ REVISITED at The State Theatre at The Melbourne Arts Centre in December 2015 and received multiple standing ovations and rave reviews from the sold-out audience.

Kwiz King, Brian Nankervis, said: "The Last Waltz is all about a band and their relationship with artists who they'd worked with and influenced. At RocKwiz we've been working together for eleven years and The Last Waltz guests are musicians we have worked with on and off for many years. There's a great sense of trust and history and we all love The Last Waltz! The Melbourne show was wonderful and the chance to perform the show at the Sydney Opera House is incredible!"

Don't miss your chance to relive history with this unique concert experience! Tickets to THE LAST WALTZ REVISITED will sell out to make sure you don't miss out!
