Daily News | This ‘Last Waltz’ concert is an all-Philly Thanksgiving celebration
In 2013, during Thanksgiving weekend , Philadelphia music promoter Bryan Dilworth pulled off a show he considered a highlight of his career.at the Trocadero, with Garth Hudson of The Band as a surprise special guest.
The concert at the Franklin Music Hall — a venue Dilworth booked when it was known as the Electric Factory — is a benefit for former Eagle Connor Barwin’s Make the World Better foundation, which builds playgrounds and recreation facilities around Philadelphia. Dilworth served on the MTWB board.
Special guests include Chelsea Mitchell and Ali Wadsworth, and Jon Houlon and Mike “Slo Mo” Brenner of John Train, who will stand in for Dylan on “Baby Let Me Follow You Down.” Adam Weiner of Low Cut Connie will take on Ronnie Hawkins’ version of Bo Diddley’s “Who Do You Love?” Maxx Williams will sing Muddy Waters’ “Mannish Boy.”
The idea to honor Dilworth with a Last Waltz benefit was first born in 2020, Thomson says. “We wanted to do it at the Factory because of his history and legacy there. It was the room that Bryan booked. And with MTWB involved, we thought we really can pull off something grand.”Working on the Philly Last Waltz “reminds me how hard this work is,” she says, of the concert booking business.
