5.0 out of 5 stars The best way to remember this concert...., July 23, 2002

This review is from: Tibetan Freedom Concert; New York City, June 1997 (Audio CD)

The Tibetan Freedom Concert in 1996 when shown on MTV changed my life forever when I discovered what was going on in Tibet. And when I got my first glimpse into Buddhist culture. This CD goes over 2 years of the Tibetan Freedom Concert. It is the first 2 that were held in 1996 and then in 1997.

The CD is not just a youth approach to doing something for the Buddhist nation of Tibet, it's a celebration of Tibetan Culture. Many artists from Tibet appear along with bands like Rancid and The Beastie Boys on this CD. There are also chants from Buddhist monks. Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready of Pearl Jam play an acoustic version of "Yellow Ledbetter" that makes this CD well worth the money you paid for it. There is also a track that appears only on this CD from Rancid titled "The Harder They Come"

Beck appears on the 3rd CD with "..." and De La Soul plays a very energetic version of "Me, Myself & I" The 3rd CD is also an enhanced CD for your PC that you will be very inspired by. It comes with a collection of information on what it is that you can do for Tibet and a Quicktime library of video files showing The Beastie Boys, Radiohead, Ben Harper, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, and some very special messages from His Holiness The Dalai Lama. As well as a short video of Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys explaining how he got involved. This CD is truly a great way to remember these concerts. If you buy this CD, you not only get music, but a celebration of Tibet's spirit and culture celebrated through 2 years of concerts.

3.0 out of 5 stars Whole Set is Worth Yellow Ledbetter, July 31, 1998

Even though I got this album for free through the radio station that I work for KVCH, I would have paid the thirty dollars for the album just for this rare, live edition of Yellow Ledbetter. What an excellent, bluesy version of this Pearl Jam classic. Along with many other great tracks from our favorite rock groups, this album is definitely worth 50$!

5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful mix of great artitst and for a great cause!, July 19, 1998

I love music, which is one reason I bought this collection: It's full of many artists I love. But, the most important reason was because of the cause. I highly recommend this collection if you want great music for a great cause. Don't hesitate to buy this any longer.
