Product Details

Product Description

Synopsis

In 1986, Paul Simon released his album Graceland, a ground-breaking collaboration with some of South Africa's finest musicians that brought the sensuous and expressive sounds of "Township Jive" to an international mass audience for the first time. Simon then mounted an international concert tour with several of the musicians that appeared on the album, and this home video release captures the final date of the tour in 1987, in which Simon, singer Miriam Makeba, trumpeter Hugh Masekela, and vocal group Ladysmith Black Mambazo brought the music back to Africa for a massive outdoor concert in Zimbabwe. Selections include "The Boy in the Bubble," "Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes," "You Can Call Me Al," "Homeless," "I Know What I Know," "Graceland," "Gumboots," and 11 more. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best, May 5 2005
By François Parent (Montreal area) - See all my reviews
I've been a long time fan of Paul Simon and have been enjoying the album Graceland for many years... Watching this video for the first time was an experience to remember...I had shiver all over, I had tears in my eyes.... It is simply EXCEPTIONAL !!! The musicians are excellent, specially the bassist and the guitar/leader/arranger. The image quality is excellent and sound is very good considering the time and location. I played it in my home cinema and did not add any artificial effect, it was really good.
Overall an excellent video I'd recommend to any fan of Paul Simon or any lover of world music. I know this is a dvd I will watch often

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow!, Sep 3 2002
By "smhboslee" (East Hartford, CT United States) - See all my reviews
I had seen, and reviewed, Graceland: The African Concert in VHS format sometime ago. If there is anyone out there who hasn't seen this in DVD yet, get out there and buy it! It is an incredible experience. Paul Simon put on one of the best shows I have seen (and I've been lucky enough to see him in person more than once)...more than anything else, I think it was the "feel" of this concert that made it so special. He showed tremendous respect for the other performers, and they obviously returned the sentiment. The band, particularly Ray Phiri, could NOT have performed any better. Wonderful show.

Unfortunately, not recorded for the benefits of a DVD/Home Theater. You can't feel the bass in the pit of your stomach, or feel the vibrations surround you. Read more
