LIVE 8 GETS DVD RELEASE



LIVE 8 is set to be released on a four-disc DVD on November 7.

Live footage of the historical concert, which took place simultaneously at nine worldwide venues on July 2, will be brought together for the first time featuring sets from U2, Muse, Scissor Sisters, Robbie Williams , Madonna, Elton John, Coldplay, REM, Pink Floyd, Dido, Paul McCartney and Keane.

Three discs of the package will feature performances taken from the Live 8 shows staged in London and Philadelphia alongside key highlights from the seven other events staged across the world. Every artist who performed at London’s Hyde Park and Philadelphia’s Museum Of Art appear on the DVD.

The Live 8 DVD will feature the one-off duets from McCartney and George Michael, Elton and Pete Doherty and Coldplay featuring Richard Ashcroft - as well as the all-star finale of ’Hey Jude’ (featuring NME’s very own Dan Martin).

Footage from the Philadelphia leg of the event will include Kaiser Chiefs, Destiny's Child, Bon Jovi and Stevie Wonder.

Disc 4 will include exclusive extras, featuring a never-been-seen backstage documentary filmed at Hyde Park, Pink Floyd’s Live 8 reunion rehearsal, more acts from Live 8’s global concerts such as McFly and Bjork in Tokyo, films by The Who and Travis and a contribution from Ricky Gervais.

The special features section will offer highlights from Edinburgh’s Final Push concert at Murrayfield Stadium on July 6, which will include performances from James Brown, Travis and The Proclaimers.

Single disc sets for the Paris, Berlin, Rome and Toronto Live 8 concerts will also be made available.

Live 8 organiser Bob Geldof said: “I hope this will be the biggest selling DVD of all time. It deserves to be. More importantly perhaps, it should be, for it will help us achieve our goal of changing the lives of the extreme poor for the better and making our generation the one that helped end the disgrace of poverty.”

A generous royalty from the sales of the Live 8 DVD is set to go to the Band Aid Trust for the relief of hunger and poverty in Africa.

I'll put it on my Christmas list! I want all of U2's performance though I wonder if it will be complete or more like the t.v coverage.

Meh, I'm not interested, the show itself was a snore.

Haha, yes, everything but Sgt. Pepper and the three songs U2 did, was really, really, boring :yawn:

I found the entire thing to be a snore INCLUDING U2 and the Sgt. Pepper...everything lacked, there was no sense of occassion and most of the 'Big Names' sounded worn out and not worth listening to...:( and I was there near the front of the 'NORMAL' [non-special ticket] section...

Having been at Hyde Park you should hang your head in shame for being part of a lifeless crowd which sapped any small atmosphere there actually was. ;)

THANK YOU. The crowd was AWFUL. Barely ANY reaction from anyone...thankfully we DID boo where I was when Mariah Carey was on strutting round like a prima donna...but other than that...what were already rather 'watered down' performances were made worse by the tired response they got from the crowd...no-one made an effort and it was just SILENT half the time with the occassional smart alec remark during the important videos and shouting at people to "Put your fucking umbrella down" when necessary...:eyebrow:
