posted: Dec. 02, 2016
One of Indy's Cultural Districts, Fountain Square, was the home to the last The Last Waltz. For five years local musicians have gathered on the day after Thanksgiving to recreate the farewell performance of The Band that occurred in 1976. That original concert was filmed as a documentary by Martin Scorsese.
Radio Radio was standing-room-only as over 20 performers recreated that special evening 40 years ago.
Bill Mallers performed as Dr. John playing Such A Night.
