Back in 2013, to mark the 40th year of Relix, we ran a series of Relix 40 lists that cover a variety of topics. (You can click here to view the complete collection).

One of our Relix 40 lists included our favorite concert films (as opposed to general rock documentaries such as I Am Trying to Break Your Heart, Bittersweet Motel or Some Kind of Monster)  that focus on specific shows, tours or festivals.

Since we have The Last Waltz on our mind today, we’ve decided to revisit that list.
