The University's @One Media Department and the University's Recording Arts Department are collaborating for the first time to create a live DVD of the performance. The @One department will be producing the DVD and the recording department will be recording and mixing the show for the DVD. 

"The University's ability to bring in bigger and bigger names in every genre of music, including Todd Green, helps to build community support for our programs," Gordon said. "Mr. Green is one of northern ΒιΆΉΣ³»­'s best kept secrets."
