This DVD gives a behind the scenes look and listen to the Artists, their opinions, comments, and insight. You are given a musical ‘flavor’ of the Concert, how it came together, something which is
not available on the Graceland Concert DVD. This is worth purchasing, as it will enhance the experience
and understanding of the Concert by giving a ‘back stage pass’ not seen elsewhere. This DVD gives you
a window into the Concert, but it also gives you something more which can’t be seen in the Concert DVD. Here are the nuts and bolts.
Paul Simon and his musical cohorts offer personal stories, recording footage, and a history of not only of the album, but the circumstances--both private and international--that influenced the birth of the concept.
The only drawback to this collection is that one never sees a video from start to finish; and that--or a complete song performed live--would have been nice.
DVD, I really meant to buy the "Graceland" concert. But after I learned this was a program o the makings of that Paul Simon concert, I became interested, and enjoyed watching it. I was glad to learn more about Paul Simon, his concert, and people's reaction to it all.

It includes track by track stories and performances and Paul Simon, Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Miriam Makeba all participate in the programme.
I thoroughly enjoy this DVD and would recommend further titles in this series such as 'U2 - The Joshua Tree', 'Nirvana - Nevermind' 'John Lennon - Plastic Ono Band'.
Just one final point I want to make and that is I wished the still made intelligent Music documentaries like this now instead of the current crop 'The Stones in Exile (2010)' being a refreshing exception.
Loved to hear how they describe putting together the music and playing one intrument off against another. DVD also inculdes vision/tracks from the African concert so if you can only buy one of the two get this one - otherwise lash out & get both - I did.
Its the sought of music you can put on for some background atmosphere, or crank it right up - and get down with the rythm.
