In the Martin Scorcesi film of the Band's last concert titled "The Last Waltz", Music Man amps feature prominently. The film was original released in 1978 and was digitally restored and recently re-released on DVD. The best look at the Music Man amps occurs during the segment featuring Eric Clapton. Eric plays through a 210 (I am presuming that all these stage amps were HD-130 models) and he is flanked by what appear to be two 212HD-130 models on either side of the stage. It appears that Robbie Robertson plays his Strat through one of these during the Clapton number. All amps have silver badges, of course, since this concert occurred in 1977 or early 1978. The only other recognizable guitar amp that I noticed was a late '50s Fender 4-10 Bassman sitting above the left-side MM 212HD-130. I guess Robbie Robertspon was playing through this amp when he needed distortion. Steve | ||

Caught just before Blackie decided to pop the guitar strap off. You can see the twisted guitar strap in that picture. | ||

That's right! I didn't originally notice that I had caught it in this capture, but Eric catches Blackie as it heads for the floor just milliseconds after this frame! Steve |
