Description:
This energetic, 10-song performance on DVD from the Hordern Pavillion in Sydney, Australia is a testament to Michael Franti and Spearhead's global appeal.

This performance will leave you with a feeling of unity and optimism, Franti's major messages.

“Live in Sydney is an overdue document of an important, powerful performer with a big heart, awesome presence and mesmerizing command of an audience.”
—Wes Orshoski, Relix
“The music is fantastic, the show an absolute delight, but it's Franti's insightful, intelligent, politically aware raps and lyrics that truly mesmerize the crowd, even when its arena-sized, as it was in Sydney in 2003. Ripping a page from the socially conscious Jamaican artists, Franti delivers his positive messages with a musical punch.”
—Jo-Anne Greene, Goldmine
“Franti's contagious energy translates to screen, and his good vibes leap out of your television set just as they do live in concert. Get the DualDisc, with a CD version on the flipside, and double-double your enjoyment.”
—Benjy Eisen, JamBands.com
