    Editorial Reviews:

    Amazon.com
    Tribute albums and concerts come and go, but America: A Tribute to Heroes may well stand the test of time. Recorded just 10 days after the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, the two-hour telethon has an appropriately somber tone; it's also refreshingly unpretentious and ego-free, with no audience and no onscreen identification of the musical artists or the actors and others who speak between songs. There are some passionate and moving performances by Bruce Springsteen, Stevie Wonder, Limp Bizkit and friends, Neil Young (the much-praised "Imagine"), and several more, easily eclipsing the couple of outright turkeys (the overwrought theatrics of Enrique Iglesias and Mariah Carey). To watch the program now, as the horror may have started to fade, is to be reminded of the extraordinary emotions the tragic events of 9/11 aroused; and while pop music may be superfluous in the big picture, its power to inspire and perhaps even heal is something to behold. --Sam Graham

    5 out of 5 stars Update from 2010   January 14, 2010
    drkhimxz (Freehold, NJ, USA)
    I have nothing to add to the sentiments others have expressed with regard to the broadcast, all the performers did their best, on short notice, to express common feelings. Watching it , as year 2010 begins, I am impressed by the impact of the musical performers, with none of the paraphernalia and electronic enhancements utilized in concert sites and recording studios, and by the actors, who stepped forward, with little or no rehearsal time, and spoke their few lines with dignity and simplicity. As others have pointed out, the broadcast preserves memories of the disaster, as well as of the response it evoked from the American people. Whether you buy it at the modest price, rent or download it, you should make it a point to see and/or hear this permanent bit of Americana.


    1 out of 5 stars Bad Disc!   May 11, 2009
    R. Johnson (Louisville, KY)
    I was looking forward to rewatching the tribute, as I saw it back in 2001 when it was first aired. However, the DVD stopped midway through the playing of it. I contacted the seller immediately & because they had no more of this DVD, I was refunded my money. Even though I would have preferred to have the DVD, I was satisfied with the transaction, because I was refunded my money very quickly.


    5 out of 5 stars DVD as advertised   February 4, 2009
    Jeanette H. Winje (Lake City, CA United States)
    We enjoy this DVD. Watch it often. As advertised. Will go back to this company.


    5 out of 5 stars It's Too Bad People Can't Remember This Feeling Today   December 9, 2007
    H. Brown (Omaha, Nebraska United States)
    A 9/11 program to try to heal a nation. Maybe if you watch it today, you'll regain the feelings we all felt when we saw the twin towers fall?

    Patriotic!



    5 out of 5 stars a Deeply moving and Heartfelt tribute   November 25, 2007
    Joyce T. Powell (Jacksonville, FL USA)
    1 out of 1 found this review helpful

    I remember watching this telecast thinking America will rise up from the ashes of the 9/11 stronger and more determined to spread the ideals of democracy than ever before. Sadly, due to this horrific event and the panic it caused, Americans have had give up certain freedoms in the name of national security. But that's neither here or there when discussing this stellar concert DVD. Many of the performances are just as powerful and revealing as they were in September of 01'.

    Some of the highlights for me are:

    Bruce Springsteen - "My City of Ruin"
    Beautiful harmonies and classic Springsteen lyrics...full of imagery and faith in humanity.

    U2 - "Walk On"
    "You got to leave it behind..." Bono at his anthemic best.

    Faith Hill - "There Will Come a Day"
    One of Mississippi's finest...what a powerful voice. First to use the gospel choir to uplift.

    Enrique Iglesias - "Hero"
    I know a lot of people dislike/hate this performance, but aside from his dramatic grand gestures, the song is beautiful. I feel like he tried to put a lot of passion into his performance that comes across sometimes as cheesy. Enrique's "Hero" is a lot more geniune than the Mariah "Scary" version. Another good use of the gospel choir.

    Billy Joel - "New York State of Mind"
    The quintessential New Yorker pledging his allegiance to his beleaguered city. A saxaphone accompanist (Dave Koz, Steve Eisen?) hits the right note for the melancholy performance.

    Dixie Chicks - "I Believe in Love"
    Natalie Maines sings with a plantive wail and the Chicks harmonies are sad and sweet. Martie Seidel's fiddle is a fine 6th man.

    Dave Matthews - "Everyday"
    One man, one voice, one guitar. "All you need is love"...indeed.

    Bon Jovi - "Livin' On a Prayer"
    I always liked this song but after this performance I LOVE this song, Bon Jovi's arrangement is excellent, Jon Bon Jovi vocals were inspired along with the great musicianship as well. Also another awesome violin accompaniment. Bon Jovi did Jersey proud.

    All in all this is a outstanding concert DVD to own, although the tone is relective and somber, it is ultimately hopeful as well.
