The city, of course, was the focus of the band's latest CD, Down in New Orleans, and on that very special night the Blind Boys invited some of their favorite musicians to play with them: Dr. John, Susan Tedeschi, Preservation Hall Jazz Band, Henry Butler, and Marva Wright.; ; The set list contained new and old favorites - selections from Down in New Orleans like 'Free at Last' and 'Down by the Riverside,' as well as songs from the Blind Boys' four Grammy Award-winning albums, including the timeless 'Amazing Grace' and 'People Get Ready.' The packed crowd went wild, and an unforgettable and historic show was preserved for posterity in this one-of-a-kind DVD.; ; This disc presents the full concert performance of 16 songs along with memorable bonus material: the full-length TV show The Making of Down in New Orleans, which first aired on BET and the 'Free at Last' music video, also filmed in New Orleans.;
