(PR) Boston-based band, Dispatch, will release to DVD "Dispatch: Zimbabwe – Live at Madison Square Garden", a concert film exploring the trio's on-going efforts to raise money for the frightening situation in Zimbabwe. Set for a January 29, 2008 DVD release through self-owned Bomber Records (in partnership with AEG Network Live and VDI Entertainment), "Dispatch: Zimbabwe - Live at Madison Square Garden" was directed by renowned photographer Danny Clinch and filmed around the band's three-night sold out run at New York's legendary Madison Square Garden in July.The release will include 2 hours of live concert footage and behind the scenes interviews plus an exclusive 30-minute documentary on the devastation in the African country. "Dispatch: Zimbabwe - Live at Madison Square Garden" will be sold in eco-friendly recycled packaging and come with a ten-song companion CD of the band's favorite performances from the reunion dates. Inserted in each package will be a DropCard, allowing fans to download audio from "Dispatch: Zimbabwe - Live at Madison Square Garden." Technical pioneer Brett Eliason who was responsible for Pearl Jam's landmark official bootleg programs mixed the recordings.
Applauded by Rolling Stone Magazine, Spin, MTV, The New York Times, Esquire, The Boston Globe and the Associated Press, among many others, Dispatch donated 100% of the net profits from the "Dispatch" Zimbabwe" concerts to their recently founded Dispatch Foundation, earmarking the funds towards fighting disease, famine, and social injustice in the poverty stricken Zimbabwe.
