This concert is released for the first time on DVD, and features the band playing London's Royal Albert Hall late in 1998, at their peak in the UK with Raul Malo on vocals and generally leading the charge. An initially reserved Albert Hall crowd quickly responds to the uptempo excitement the band create, cast aside their inhibitions and make this a real party - some even joining the band on stage at one point. Originally formed in Miami in 1989 The Mavericks were the premier alternative country /tex-mex band of the 90's, with no fewer than 14 Billboard chart singles and 6 albums to their credit. The band finally split up in 2003, and this 59 minute DVD displays them at their best with all their hits.

On Sunday, April 18, 1999, the hottest names in rock and roll united with the biggest stars in country music when TNT presented "A Tribute To Johnny Cash." From humble beginnings as the son of a sharecropper to his rise to fame as a music legend, "The Man In Black" has become one of the most influential performers of the 20th century. Some of Cash's biggest fans, including Bruce Springsteen, Trisha Yearwood, and U2, performed in this star-studded concert saluting Cash's groundbreaking career and the rich legacy of his music. In his fifty year career as singer and song-writer, Cash garnered nine Grammy® Awards, a Kennedy Center Honor, and the distinction of becoming the first inductee in both the Country Music Hall of Fame and the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame — an honor shared only by Elvis Presley.

The band hits the stage of Austin's Stubbs' Barbecue in 2004 for their first-ever live concert film DVD. Filmed around the release of their sixth, eponymous studio album, this live concert from The Mavericks captures them in all their glory. Filmed in Austin, Texas, in 2004, the band rock the sizeable crowd at the Stubbs' Barbecue venue with a wide selection of material from their career. The band were undergoing a creative renaissance at the time, having staged a spectacular comeback after a 6-year break from the business. Refreshed and rejuvenated, the band perform with the passion of a group of youngsters just getting started, and deliver a great set of rocking tunes. Among them are "Here Comes The Rain", "Dance The Night Away", "All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down" and many others.

Captured in February 2021 at their Nashville studios, the Mavericks perform a vibrant set of country, Tex-Mex, soul, rock ’n’ roll and Latin music that includes songs from “En Español,” ‘Play the Hits,” and more. The film also features interviews with the Fantastic Five sidemen.
