Where do I start.....this is a concert featuring artists I normally do not listen to at all....but I must say, it works!!
When I saw this DVD for sell.....I did a double take. And upon review, not much bad I can say about this.

Wyclef performing an incredible concert, put on film.
Highlights;

1. Gone To November.......with Wyclef, apparently, changing the orginal plan to play it out as originally practiced, but, then Stevie Wonder appears......incredible!!

2. Wish You Were Here.......great intro of (2) brothers on stage....time to "Play some Pink Floyd"!!! Macey Gray is a perfect match to this version.

3. 911......With the addition of Mary J. Blige.....a classic Wyclef song, and great reproduction of an already great song.

4. No Woman No Cry.....great to see one of Marley's sons appear in here.

5. Bach Medley.....interesting twist, with Wyclef enjoying every moment and adding a bit of humor to a serious piece.

6. Summertime.......Charlotte Church presents a strong vocal of the song I most remember from Janis Joplin.

7. My Song......nice new song with Clapton and Wyclef exchanging guitar leads. Very nice inclusion.

8. Guantanamera/Hot Hot Hot.......excellent conclusion to an awesome DVD. Marc Anthony and the whole cast included. A crowd friendly song!

In conclusion.....So many different styles of music on this...not a bad song on here. Wyclef is an incredible frontman...and leader on stage. Do yourself a favor and get this DVD. You won't be disappointed. Sure, there are a few songs I would have liked to see on here (Perfect Gentleman and the song with Bono of U2), but maybe on another release, one day.

Really enjoyable, not only due to the semi-world music experience, but he got the children involved. First saw this concert on Ovation and found the "complete" concert on DVD. Most enjoyable and recommended.

I always enjoy a concert that includes Eric Clapton. This concert gave me a new view of Wyclef Jean and and appreciation for his dedication to young people. His band/orchestra was composed of young people who were both talented and professional. The all-star guests provided something for everyone. This is a concert to enoy again and again.

I have to agree with the reviewer above, and also beg to ask...where's the reviews? Ah well, this dvd is just awesome.

Wyclef again delivers high energy and variety in his performance and the cast and scenery just adds to it, I mean its Carnegie Hall!

And if you need one reason, besides Wyclef, to get this dvd, the gone til november mix with Stevie Wonder...gives me chills and smiles!

Enjoy it!

Wyclef Jean is the Man! I really enjoyed this DVD. It is great to see the opportunity he is providing for these talented students. I rate this DVD 5 stars, 2 thumbs up, and a high five. The only thing I don't like is that I did not know about it sooner. Keep it up 'Clef.

Great concert..it had a little of everything.....
Great venue in New York...
All kinds of different genres of music....with Wyclef doing a good job of emceeing....he does solos....duets...he lets the other artists shine...the lineup is awesome...
If your a fan.. BUY it....even if your just a fringe fan it's a great concert to have... wish I was there live....I wish he did one of these every year in the city....Wyclef never disappoints...

I love this DVD! It combines all kinds of music from the absolute masters of their genres, and some of the proceeds go for a *great* cause: buying musical instruments for kids so we can keep their creativity and fresh talents enriching this world.

You cannot watch this without smiling and wanting to stand up and dance! And it's absolutely G rated.

Buy it!
