Heres your ticket to three command performances by the childrens music superstar. This disc includes three concerts that track Raffis phenomenal rise, beginning with the 1984 solo outing "A Young Childrens Concert." Such cherished Raffi chestnuts as "The More We Get Together," "Six Little Ducks," "Bumpin Up and Down (In My Little Red Wagon)," "Shake My Sillies Out," and his signature "Baby Beluga" benefit from the performers obvious joy in his work. "Raffi in Concert with the Rise and Shine Band" is a 1988 performance that captures Raffi-mania at its peak. His engaging repertoire includes traditional songs ("Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," "Hes Got the Whole World"), multicultural songs ("De Colores"), and Raffi originals (including "All I Really Need," "Everything Grows," and "Rise and Shine"). The 1993 "Live on Broadway" show features much slicker production and finds Raffi adding environmental awareness to his mix of material with "Help This Planet Earth," "Evergreen, Everblue," and "Big Beautiful Planet/Clean Rain." What makes Raffi such a hit with children and adults is that he performs with genuine warmth and good-natured humor, and without a trace of condescension. A new generation of Raffi fans will cheer for encores of this captivating DVD collection. Donald Liebenson
