Ani DiFranco: Live at Babeville (DVD), Righteous Babe, Music & Performance

It all sounds so easy: find a 135-year old church in your hometown, spend about a decade saving it from demolition, transform it into a state-of-the-art music venue (and the home of your own record label), then cap off the whole thing with a pair of unforgettable performances at the grand opening. Yep, that's pretty much the backstory behind the shows documented on this one-of-a-kind concert DVD. This is Ani DiFranco in action: backed by her touring band, playing new arrangements of songs from every phase of her career, including a couple so new they haven't appeared on studio albums yet, and blowing the roof off the place in the process.
