Talk about one from the vault. This DVD features two different versions of a 1990 San Francisco concert by Merl Saunders and the Rainforest Band: one, a straight concert shoot, and the other, a TV show, San Francisco After Dark, which uses excerpts from that performance and intersperses them with clips of Saunders talking about his commitment to preserving the rainforest. There's also a music video of the title song that features the late Jerry Garcia, a frequent Saunders collaborator, playing guitar. In addition, there's a 24-minute documentary about the plight of the rainforest. How much you enjoy this package depends on your taste for Saunders's music, which mixes jazzy R&B instrumentals with synthesizer-heavy New Age noodling meant to evoke the sounds of--you guessed it--the rainforest. Garcia-philes, be warned: Though he is billed as a special guest and plays on the hour-plus audio program, he makes only that one appearance in the music video. --Marshall Fine

Another chance to view this DVD after Mobile Fidelity folded June 14, 2000
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
Another version of this disc, by the legendary Mobile Fidelity Soundlabs, was the first (and sadly last) DVD release by this studio. After 22 years of producing audiophile recordings and gold CD's, MFSL released this disc late in 1999 shortly before they had to close due to a factory shipping issue that made them decide it was better to close. That makes that version of this DVD probably the rarest one around.
