More than three dozen local musicians are involved in 'Last Waltz,' the tribute to Philadelphia concert booker Bryan Dilworth, who put together a 2013 version, and died in 2020. Legendary rock promoter Bill Graham produced the original show on Thanksgiving Day in 1976 which Martin Scorsese filmed for a documentary movie. The Philly concert is also a benefit for the Make The World Better foundation, which builds playgrounds and recreation facilities in the city.
