FULL-LENGTH DVD AVAILABLE AT filmbaby.com

A history-making lineup of talented musicians came together for the love of a friend, played their hearts out and now the event is being offered on DVD for everyone to enjoy.

The Free From Pain benefit show raised money for a very special woman, Tiffany Travalent. Tiffany spent nine years as an artists liaison for Bill Graham Presents and a backstage manager at San Franciscos Warfield Theater and Fillmore concert hall, where she made many lasting friends both inside and outside the music business.

For seven years Tiffany has battled severe chronic pain, stemming from an emergency surgery she suddenly had to undergo in 2003. Tiffany has tried every viable avenue since then to relieve that pain, seeking medical help from doctors all over the world. She has been unable to return to work and faces continuing insurmountable medical expenses.

On March 10, 2007, a world-renown group of musicians gathered at 12 Galaxies in San Francisco to support, honor and most importantly, to raise money for their friend Tiffany. Tiffany describes the evening as a music lovers dream. And fortunately for music lovers, this outstanding night of performances by phenomenal artists was professionally captured on video, edited and is now available for purchase. The unique DVD, entitled, Free from Pain, is not only a one-of-a-kind musical masterpiece, but will tug at your heartstrings as you witness musicians performing at their peak for the love of Tiffany. This musical passion has been captured in a must-be-experienced DVD.

Artists who volunteered their talents to appear on the DVD include Bernie Worrell and Jerry Harrison -- reunited for the first time since Talking Heads; legendary New Orleans drummer Zigaboo Modeliste, who served up a spicy set with his signature backbeat, keeping it uniquely funky; Eric McFadden, the guitar virtuoso, played throughout the night, intricately weaving hot licks and multi-layered, vital guitar sounds. During one set, he was joined by Pete Sears and Seth Ford-Young, playing original music from Erics CD, Alektraphobia.

Creative Armada Productions recorded the show and created the hi-def, Dolby digital DVD. Extra features include three rare videos from Eric McFadden; What Is They, Under Her Curse and Ghost. The DVD can also be downloaded in a format for any portable CD or DVD player. Creative Armada hopes that proceeds from DVD sales will continue to help support Tiffanys ongoing healthcare needs.
