PICK OF THE WEEK: Polytoxic (Performing The Last Waltz) - Wednesday, November 21st - Cervantes Masterpiece Ballroom, Denver, CO

Why You Should Go: With Thanksgiving right around the corner it is time to Celebrate one of the most storied concerts in Rock-N-Roll history with a recreation of The Band's Last Waltz. The event, immortalized by Martin Scorsese in the movie of the same name, originally took place at Winterland in San Francisco 31 years ago but comes to life on the stage of Cervantes right here in Denver each year featuring a 30 plus person cast of Denver Musicians and anchored by the band Polytoxic.

Polytoxic has thrown this party several times and The Westword called the concert the best local band concert of the year in 2005. If you have ever seen and enjoyed the movie documenting the event 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 three previous performances under their belt this is bound to be the best yet.

Last year the 30 guest musicians included Aaron Rose, who played the role of Neil Diamond, Jessica Goodkin, singing Van Morrison’s ‘Caravan,’ Christy Chambers playing Joni Mitchell and Cheyenne Kowal from the Reals reprising Emmylou’s role in the movie. The Toxic Horns also joined the band for evening rounding out the sound.
