Martin Scorsese’s death wish. Bob Dylan’s theft. Robbie Robertson’s cocaine purchase.

Four thousand pounds of turkey. Two thousand pounds of candied yams. Eight hundred pounds of pies and ninety gallons of gravy. What’s it all mean? It means that Disgraceland has a Thanksgiving episode about the making of The Last Waltz that you’ll be grateful you listened to.

This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including suicide. If you're thinking about suicide, help is available. Call or text the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988.

As we prepare for Turkey Day and reflect on The Band's farewell Thanksgiving concert, we want to know: What is the greatest concert film of all time? What are some of your favorites, and what makes them great? Let Jake know at 617-906-6638, disgracelandpod@gmail.com, or on socials @disgracelandpod.
