When Canadian singer-songwriter Sarah McLachlan launched her brainchild, the all-female Lilith Fair tour, in 1997, the pop world was not prepared for its phenomenal success. Featuring performances from some of the most exciting and talented female rock musicians in the world, the tour played to enthusiastic crowds across the country. Many of the stars--including the folk duo the Indigo Girls, the ethereal folk-popster Jewel, and bluesy rocker Sheryl Crow--got together and sang their hearts out in various duets. This video release of the tour also includes previously unseen backstage jams, behind-the-scenes footage, and candid interviews.

Lilith Fair made rock and roll history in the summer of 1997 as the first all-female music tour. These sold-out concert performances could only be described as magical, boasting many once-in-a-lifetime collaborations. That magic is captured here in Lilith Fair: A Celebration of Women in Music, which also includes never-before-seen backstage jams, intimate interviews and behind-the-scenes documentary footage of the artists.
