Movie Reviews of Raffi in Concert
Movie Review: nice buy
Summary: 5 Stars
This DVD is a pretty nice buy. I remember watching the "Young Children's concert" as a small kid and loving it. Now, I'm sharing my childhood favorite with my daughter, and she absolutely loves it. She's only 5 months old and she literally squeals with delight and giggles nonstop over this DVD (I started playing it for her when she was about 4 months). I like the simplistic quality of the concerts (no over-the-top fancy lasers or overdone gimmicks) as the focus is mainly on the music and engaging the kids to have a good time. My personal favorite of the three concerts is "A Young Children's Concert". That one just has Raffi singing and playing his guitar (I find him the most engaging in this one). The other two, Raffi is joined by a music band (keyboard, drums, extra guitar). The "Rise and Shine" and "Raffi on Broadway" repeat a number of songs from "A Young Children's Concert", but also introduce some new/different songs. This is nice, because it provides the similar songs my daughter loves while also changing it up a little, so I don't lose my sanity. This DVD is also a great deal for the price, and it's all on one disk (nice space saver). The DVD is also very well organized (if you remember which song you stopped on, you can find and go directly to that song later from the menu). Each concert is about 45-60 minutes long (a decent legnth... not too long or too short). I would recommend this DVD mainly for smaller children (toddler up through kindergarten); I beleive older children might not hold as much interest as a younger group. If you're not sure about this product or any of Raffi's works, you might be able to find a sample of his work on youtube (or something like that). If you like it, then I highly recommend buying the DVD (it's really worth owing, if you decide you like it). I hope this review proved to be helpful in your purchasing decision.Movie Review: Brilliant!!!

My son has been watching & listening to Raffi since he was a newborn. The Quiet Time CD puts him to sleep every night. We started watching the concerts when he was 6 months old...it captivated him then & to this day (7 months later) he is still mezmerized every time Raffi takes to the stage! He'll stop whatever he's doing, crawl up into my lap, cuddle & watch Raffi, sometimes for hours!!! If he's a little fussy or aggitated, I turn on Raffi, instantly he's calm & all of his attention is focused on Raffi, whatever was bothering him suddenly disappears (a total Godsend when he started teething)!
This set is wonderful....the total best of Raffi. Definitely a "must-own" for any family with small children! (Though adults will come to love it as much as their kids, my husband is totally impressed with "Rainstorm".)Thank you Raffi for some of the most memorable, special & beautiful moments I've shared with my son!
Movie Review: Just as good the second time around
Summary: 5 Stars
My older grandchildren, now 21 and 22, loved the Raffi videos when they were little. The oldest would cry while we were waiting for the video to rewind so he could watch it again. The rest of the grandkids loved him also. Eventually, we thought everyone was done with having kids. We gave away all the toddler stuff. Then came a surprise almost six years after. Now she loves Raffi as much as the rest of them did. Her mom already knows the lyrics to most of the songs, so she can have Raffi in the car, the bedroom, the bath, as well as on TV. Thank you for the DVD format, as I no longer have video players, and now we no longer have to wait for the video to rewind!
I love having all three videos on one DVD. Even the kids in the audiences seem like old friends.
Movie Review: Best Children's Videos Ever. Your Children Will LOVE Them!
Summary: 5 Stars
All my children just love this DVD! What an amazing songwriter and performer. We like the first concert the most, the Young Children's Concert. All the songs are excellent and so fun for children to listen to. The children clap and sing, and the songs are so happy and singable that they stay with you and you find yourself singing with your children.The second concert is great. Every song is great. There are so many masterpiece songs. His message is wonderful for children. I read that the first two videos are Quintuple Platinum eight times between them. The third concert has a very good message too.
This family is happy to have found out about Raffi! I highly recommend this!
But this video or DVD! Your children will love it more than any other.

I LOVE RAFFI. My grandson, broke the previous DVD. My newest grandson likes him as well. And he's only 7 months old!
My son and daughter still LOVE Raffi. So do my niece and nephew, even though, they are older: they ALL know ALL of the songs.
This is a terrific combo. I wish I could have afforded to bring Raffi to my 2 Girl Scout Troops. SIGH.
Excellent songs; excellent venues; excellent getting together time.
Maybe I'll get to take the grandkids to one of his concerts. One can only hope. Meanwhile, he's here in my home. And I'm super satisfied. We are all singing, together. With Raffi. My personal fav.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Vesco
