Rating:  - a great insight
Which song does Paul Simon consider his best work? Which line would he rewrite if he could? Where does he stand in this album's role in the effort against apartheid. And what was behind that great bass break in "You Can Call Me Al". Buy this DVD to find out...
Rating:  - Not Enough Recording
The Graceland DVD is very educational and well done as far as learning about how the album was made and the complexities involved. However, it was short on actual recordings from the album being played or performed. It was 80% talk 20% music. I would have expected the reverse to be the case. So, if you expect to hear the music of the album, don't buy this DVD.

To be honest with you, the 1980's brought out some of the most universal and influential records of all time.

I really loved this dvd. There is some information for everybody, beginners as well as advanced.

I also enjoyed the discovery ... Read More

This DVD shows the incredible talent and focus of Paul Simon as well as his great concern for those in unimaginal plight. Many believed his trip to Africa was inappropriate when he made the album but the film shows just the opposite. What an example of how powerful it is when peoples of this world work together in both cultural and musical harmony!
