  this dvd set is superb. Two decades after Live Aid addressed the issue of poverty in Africa, which still remains a blight on our planet, activist Bob Geldof staged an even more ambitious, series of continent-spanning concerts, dedicated to raising funds and public consciousness about international debt relief.
