This video features the music icon Paul McCartney, with a stellar cast of performers, giving a live benefit concert for PETA. The organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, was the special concern of the former Beatle's deceased wife Linda McCartney. The concert honors her memory while it raises funds for an organization that has been embraced by people around the world. The performers include Ricki Lane, Brian McKnight, Jamie Lee Curtis, Ellen DeGeneres, Chrissie Hynde, Sarah McLachlan, and The B-52's. ~ Rose of Sharon Winter, All Movie Guide

This DVD documents an all-star night of music and comedy put together to help out the cause of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. The disc offers a widescreen transfer that preserves the original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.85:1. The English soundtrack is rendered in Dolby Digital Stereo. There are no subtitles, but the soundtrack is closed-captioned. Supplemental materials include PETA promotional spots, a music video, and more PETA information. Although this Image release is heavy-handed, the vast array of stars (including Ellen DeGeneres, Margaret Cho, Bob Costas, and Gillian Anderson) will help this DVD find a wider audience than one might expect. ~ Perry Seibert, All Movie Guide
