The Last Waltz refers to a concert by The Band, as well as the movie of that concert made by Martin Scorsese. It was their farewell performance.

I consider it to be a fitting reference to the farewell Gadget Grill show, broadcast live on Sunday Sept 22 2019, in which I was privileged to have been joined by all of our regular presenters, from the Show’s original host and creator, and my elder son Leigh, through to Geoff Quattromani, Jason Murray and Alex Choros.
It was a bittersweet evening, but, as is typical of how we do things at the Gadget Grill, it was most certainly fun, starting with our pre-show dinner of pizza, accompanied by a vigorous discussion of exactly what topics we were going to cover during the show, through to the last gasp as we closed the mics for the last time.

We have certainly covered a lot of ground over the almost eleven years that the show has been going, and it was indeed interesting to contrast things such as the very first iPhone model with the just released iPhone 11, looking at some punched cards (now I’m showing my age) and of course, the obligatory enjoyment of each others’ company in this forum for the very last time.
I hope that you enjoy the podcast of this show as much as we have enjoyed bringing the show to you.

Congrats on the last show! What an achievement.
