Two decades years after Live Aid addressed the issue, lethally oppressive poverty in Africa remains a blight on the planet. Thus, in the Summer of 2005 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 expansive four-disc chronicles those shows in one of the most ambitious concert documents ever attempted, capturing all of the highlights (and a few complete artist sets) of concerts in London, Philadelphia, Toronto, Paris, Berlin and Moscow. Underscoring the events' sense of unity, the performances here span both generations and genres, offering veteran rock fans often muscular sets by Elton John (including a woozy take on T. Rex's "Children of the Revolution" with Baby Shambles' Pete Doherty), The Who, Sting (who sharply reprises a trio of Police favorites) and the ubiquitous Paul McCartney. But the highlight of the Jurassic set's contributions are a reunion of Roger Waters and his long-estranged Pink Floyd bandmates on a sonically flawless five-song whirl through highlights of Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here and The Wall; footage of their rehearsal for the show is contained on the set's equally eclectic fourth disc of bonus materials. But there are highlights here for nearly every taste, be they a fine sampling of contemporary UK and Australian rockers ( Coldplay, Jet, Razorlight and especially blistering performances by Stereophonics and Kaiser Chiefs), a little hip-hop nostalgia (a joyous Will Smith and Jazzy Jeff leading what seems half of his Philly hometown in a goofy singalong of the "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" theme); showy turns by pop-meister Robbie Williams and chateuses Mariah Carey, a rousing set by Black Eyed Peas (featuring Rita and Stephen Marley on a cover of "Get Up Stand Up"). Other one-off duets include Coldplay and Richard Ashcroft doing a fine version of the latter's "Bittersweet Symphony," Stevie Wonder with Rob Thomas ("Higher Ground") and Adam Levine ("Signed Sealed Delivered"), a tender take on "Angel" by Sarah McLachlan and Josh Groban and McCartney and George Michael taking an upbeat turn via "Drive My Car," before Macca closes out the London show by leading its various participants in an obligatory singalong of "Hey Jude." Royalties from sales of the set will go to the Band Aid Trust for the relief of hunger and poverty in Africa. --Jerry McCulley

 Astonishing Remastering November 17, 2005
90 out of 94 found this review helpful
I was skeptical of this DVD set. There is just so much material and the scope of the event was so large, I was not sure what to expect. I really hoped that EMI would do Live 8 justice.
I was not disappointed.
I will not comment on the actual concerts or my "favorite parts" or anything like that. If you have not seen any of these concerts, you DEFINITELY need to get this DVD set.
One note before I continue: even though there are 4 DVDs in this package, it DOES NOT include the complete Philadelphia and London/Hyde Park concerts. The vast majority of both concerts ARE included, but it definitely does not include everything. You have been warned.
This compilation takes all of the concert footage from that memorable day and rolls it into one beautiful, 10 hour concert. The journey begins at the top of the London/Hyde Park concert with U2 and Paul McCartney. The coverage continues in order from Hyde Park, then begins to alternate among all of the concerts. The concert ends on Disc 3 as the Hyde Park concert ended, with Paul McCartney leading all of the London artists in "Hey Jude."
Disc 4 includes footage from the Edinburgh concert on 6 July 2005 (the "final push" concert). It also contains some extra footage from the 2 July 2005 concerts that were not included on the first three discs.
For those of you who, like me, watched the concerts live on AOL and then enjoyed their rebroadcasts of the event all summer, the three-disc concert feels similar to their main rebroadcast in which they, too, featured footage from all of the concerts. It very well may be the same compilation with regard to content - I am not positive on that, though.
The footage is truly gorgeous. The live producers did a fantastic (almost super-human) job at trying to capture all of the action and emotion in real time at each venue. The producers for this DVD edition, however, added more polish to an already well-done production. The audio was re-mixed and corrected mistakes that were found in the live feed. The video, too, was remastered to provide better angles throughout the concerts. The video itself is beautiful. Crisp, clean, and fluid.
The footage is uncensored, which was nice to see. With that, though, know that some of the footage is not for young ears. Watch the concert first before showing it to your youngsters.
Full concert footage for the Berlin, Paris, Rome, and Toronto concerts is available separately. I am hoping that they also release full-concert editions of the Hyde Park and Philadelphia concerts, too.
I really am pleased with this compilation. Get yourself a copy or two or ten. You will not be disappointed.

Goosebumps moments:
- Paul McCartney with U2 in doing Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band live for the first time ever with some faux Beatles in Pepper outfits playing french horns
- U2's set including their version of Unchained Melody
- Coldplay bringing out Richard Ashcroft to sing Bittersweet Symphony
- Black Eyed Peas with Stephan and Rita Marley to sing Get up Stand Up
- Kanye West backed by a Sting section
- Dido joined by Youssou N'Dour during Thank You
- The opening to Dave Matthews Band's Dreamgirl
- Robbie Williams singing Angels they way it supposed to - without Jessica Simpson
- Green Day covering Queen's We Are the Champions
- Stevie Wonder and Adam Levane of Maroon 5 doing a duet on Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours
- Pink Floyd whole set, extra Goosebumps at the beginning of each song
- Maroon 5 covering Neil Young's Rockin in the Free World
- Alicia Keys' tribute to Luther Vandross
- Jay-Z backed by Linkin Park who did a faithful Public Service Announcement
Tear Jerkers:
- Bob Geldolf bring out an African Girl who, at the time of Live Aid, was only given ten seconds to live
- Annie Lennox playing Why over a montage of AIDS victims
- The finale in London with everyone singing Hey Jude with Paul McCartney
Other interesting tidbits:
- Snoop Dogg was able to get 5 F-bombs pass the MTV censors (and the N-word once). Granted he mumbles some and they weren't part of the song. The bigger slip was they Pink Floyd let the blatant word in Pink Floyd's Money or maybe they let it slip because it Floyd.
- Beyoncé wore a skirt that was as short as it could have been without showing off her Kootchiepop.
- I was a little disappointed that no one pulled a Phil Collins this year.
- The only American acts in Rome - Tim McGraw & Faith Hill?
- UB40 were introduced saying they were going to perform a medley of their hits. Shouldn't it been a medley of other people's hits?
- Who invited Randy Jackson? I had to laugh when I spotted him playing a tiny keyboard when Mariah Carey already had two keyboarders on stage with two large keyboards themselves.
- What was up with Stevie Wonder's moustache/beard thing around his mouth? Who let him out of the house like that?
- There were a lot of lyric changes to reflect the festivities including U2, Sting but my favorite was Kanye West switch the line in Jesus Walks into, "And George Bush gets paid off of all of that."
- When I saw you could download Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club from the concert on iTunes, I thought the whole concert would be available, but alas the only other song available (for now hopefully) was The Long and Winding Road. Click on the links to get them for yourselves.
