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.

this is well worth renting out.
For the most part, Live8 was a complete pigs ear of an event. It was badly organised, with extremely questionable politics (several times I was subjected to images of starving children whilst I was wading through a deluge of discarded chips and fried chicken) and consisted of mainly crappy acts.
Take Mariah Carey for instance - a plastic person who does not even exist in the same dimension as the rest of human race (except on occasion when she comes back down to Earth to have a nervous breakdown), she somehow managed to churn out a piss-poor performance of her rubbish back catalogue and remain resolutely ignorant, naive and condescending all at the same time. Joss Stone was equally poor - a squawking tone deaf child with as much savvy as a toilet attendant, she wailed her way incomprehensibly through a couple of numbers dressed like Janis Joplins handicapped, destitute distant cousin.
It was worth the wait for The Who though - they came on stage and utterly blew the likes of The Scissor Sisters (crap), Coldplay (dull) and Madonna (pretentious, chameleonic gap-toothed menace) completely off the stage. Guitarist Pete Townshend announced his arrival on stage with a deafening roar from his Stratocaster, and then they tore into Who Are You and Won't Get Fooled Again (as a million kids watching shouted 'hey! These old guys are doing the theme tunes to CSI!'.
My advice - rent Disc Four and treat the other acts with the contempt they so rightly deserve.
