PICK OF THE WEEK: Polytoxic (Performing The Last Waltz) - Wednesday, November 22nd - Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom, Denver, CO

Why You Should Go: Polytoxic has thrown this party twice before and last time The Westword called the concert the best local band concert of the year. Polytoxic may have officially called it quits but they are coming back for one last hurrah with 30 guest musicians in tow.

If you have ever seen and enjoyed Martin Scorsese’s movie documenting the original Last Waltz this evening will not be a let down. Polytoxic performs most, if not all, of the original setlist and may even throw a couple of extra songs in. They have the chops to pull it off and with two previous performances under their belt this is bound to be the best yet.

The 30 guest musicians will include Aaron Rose, who plays the role of Neil Diamond, Jessica Goodkin, sings Van Morrison’s ‘Caravan,’ Christy Chambers playing Joni Mitchell and Cheyenne Kowal from the Reals reprising Emmylou’s role in the movie. The band has also asked the Toxic Horns to join them for evening to round out the sound.
