highly recommended

On May 24, 2000, the historic Ryman Auditorium was booked to offer Nashvillians an evening of sublime beauty. Label executives and soundtrack producers so loved the music of O Brother, Where Art Thou? that they brought it to life as a benefit concert for the Country Music Hall of Fame. Filmmakers Joel and Ethan Coen loved it so much that they hired famed documentary filmmaker D.A. Pennebaker to record the show for posterity. The concert that unfolded that night was one of the greatest musical moments in the annals of Music City. Performers: John Hartford, Alison Krauss, Emmylou Harris, Gillian Welch, Chris Thomas King, The Cox Family, Fairfield Four, Union Station, Colin Linden, The Nashville Bluegrass Band, The Peasall Sisters, Ralph Stanley, David Rawlings, The Whites. 98 minutes.

Wonderful concert

I am so pleased with this DVD. I see it 2 -3 times a week!
Grate performance with supreme artist I just love Alison Kraus and this DVD.

"Music from the Movie O Brother Where Art Thou?"

This is an outstanding "Masterpiece" consisting of a documentary of the making of the music in the "O Brother Where Art Thou" movie and in the "Soundtrack" CD to the movie plus an ACTUAL CONCERT OF THIS MUSIC. REMEMBER THIS SOUNDTRACK WAS THE GRAMMY ALBUM OF THE YEAR FOR THE YEAR 2001!!! It was produced by the legendary "roots" producer T.Bone Bunnett.

There have already been plently of reviews on this one, so I won't go into detail. It starts out as a documentary, in Nashville's Famous Rhyman Auditorium , and shows T.Bone Burnett directing the rehersing and sound checks of this music.

The next portion is footage of an actual concert that was performed in the Rhyman Auditorium. The performances range from "Blues" to "Bluegrass" to "Gospel". The MC is "cool", he was introduced in the documentary portion. He is an actual "Tug-Boat" Captain, and does an excellent job of MC"ing the concert.

Some of the performers include: Gillian Welch, Allison Krass and Union Station, EmmyLou Harris, the Fairfield Four (actually 5), The Cox Family, Chris Thomas King (He was actually in the movie and played the role of "Tommy Johnson"), The Peasall Sisters, Ralph Stanley, the Whites, John Hartford, Colin Linden and David Rawlings.

If you like "roots" music or the movie "O Brother Where Art Thou", then I'm sure you'll really enjoy this one. I know I enjoy it very much, and therefore I recommend it.

A great Show

Its a pleasure to see so much talent on show at a concert. There is a good bit of introductory material and then a straightforward concert without pyrotechnics or disconcerting camera work. For one who saw this on tour, it was a real nostalgia trip as well. Highly recommended and share it with your friends.Bluegrass

Classic bluegrass

If your into bluegrass then this is a must for your collection,it would be extremly difficult to ever be able to get together such remarkable talent again.Highly recommended.

It could have been a brilliant DVD.

Unfortunately the production looks as though it was done by the Beverly Hillbillies. Buy Alison Krauss & Union Station - Live, then compare to this. It pales by comparison. I liked it, but I was frustrated and angered at the editing. It's still a good concert but the needless interruption of performances to view backstage was, without a doubt, the worst thing I've ever seen. It makes the Cox family look stupid. Maybe that was on purpose. They should apologize to Chris Thomas King and the Cox family, who are brilliant artists. This contains the music from Oh Brother Where Art Thou, yet, it's missing The Soggy Bottom Boys and Man of Constant Sorrow. Why?
