Later this year, plans call for the Remember The Alamo concert to air in its entirety in movie theaters across the country and on a national television broadcast, as well as for Remember The Alamo DVDs—minus the bonus features on this limited edition version—to be released for sale nationwide through major retailers.
The Alamo will receive a portion of sales proceeds from all DVDs sold, both through the limited edition available exclusively in the San Antonio market now, as well as from every DVD sold through its nationwide release.
The Remember The Alamo concert was designed to pay tribute to the Alamo and the City of San Antonio through an entertaining, made-for-history musical event. The DVD, via performances by some of the world’s best-known artists and light-hearted comedic entertainment by Paul Rodriguez, retells the story of the 13-day battle that took place in 1836, thus solidifying the Alamo shrine as an historical wonder of early American culture.
The 90-plus minute DVD includes a documentary about the Alamo and an historical tour of the shrine led by Alamo Director David Stewart.
“We are thrilled with the end result of this DVD and are excited about the exposure that the Alamo and San Antonio will receive as a result of this product,” said Virginia Van Cleave, Chairman of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas Alamo Committee. “Merging musical entertainment of this caliber with the history of the Alamo provides us with an innovative way to reach existing and new audiences to share the message of courage and sacrifice for the cause of Liberty that the Alamo Defenders so bravely represented.”
The spirit, sights, and sounds of San Antonio also were captured during the DVD’s filming and are interspersed throughout the broadcast through shots and commentary about sites and events such as the Riverwalk, the Menger Hotel, and Fiesta.
Bonus features available only on the limited-edition DVD include interview footage with Lyle Lovett, the Gipsy Kings, Los Lobos, the Arc Angels, and Paul Rodriguez.
Remember The Alamo was filmed in San Antonio on May 2, 2005 as part of WOW Music Group’s Wonders of the World Music Series—a collection of concerts that unites performances by distinguished musical artists with the world’s most storied historical sites. Produced and filmed in High Definition (HD) and 5.1 Surround Sound, the Wonders of The World Music series also includes a concert at the Great Wall of China, with future concerts planned at sites that include the Grand Canyon, Eiffel Tower, Tiananmen Square, Gorky Park, Egypt’s Pyramids, and Mt. Rushmore.
