Mohsen Namjoo CD DVD  

On September 7, 2008 at the Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, Mohsen Namjoo went on stage for the fist time in the US.

The culmination of 30 years of postrevolutionary Iranian angst, walked onto a simple bare stage and armed only with his singular voice, 2 tars and a well worn acoustic guitar, proceeded to berate, judge, testify, confess, convict, convince, sweep and decisively blow the audience away.

The subsequent 5 city tour that began and ended in San Francisco, took him to New York, Washington DC, Los Angeles and San Diego.

This is the concert film from this momentous event. A time in which if you attended, you can say you were there. For history in the making.
