Earth is a 24-hour, 7-continent concert series taking
place on 7/7/07 that will bring together more than 100
music artists and 2 billion people to trigger a global
movement to solve the climate crisis.
Live Earth will
reach this worldwide audience through an unprecedented
global media architecture covering all media platforms -
TV, radio, Internet and wireless channels.
Live Earth marks
the beginning of a multi-year campaign led by the
Alliance for Climate Protection, The Climate Group and
other international organizations to drive individuals,
corporations and governments to take action to solve
global warming. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is the
Chair of the Alliance and Partner of Live
Earth.
Live Earth was
founded by Kevin Wall, the Worldwide Executive Producer
of Live 8, an event that brought together one of the
largest audiences in history to combat poverty. Wall
formed a partnership with Al Gore and the Alliance for
Climate Protection to ensure that Live Earth inspires
behavioral changes long after 7/7/07.
Live Earth will
stage official concerts at :
Giants Stadium in New York;
Wembley Stadium in London;
Aussie Stadium in Sydney;
the Coca-Cola Dome in Johannesburg;
Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro
Makuhari Messe in Tokyo;
the Oriental Pearl Tower in Shanghai;
and HSH Nordbank Arena in Hamburg.
Live Earth concerts
will be broadcast to a live worldwide audience by MSN at www.LiveEarth.MSN.com.
With support from
the U.S. Green Building Council, creators of the LEED
Green Building Rating System, Live Earth will implement
new Green Event Guidelines. All Live Earth venues will be
designed and constructed by a team of sustainability
engineers who will address the environmental and energy
management challenges of each concert site, as well as
the operations of sponsors, partners and other Live Earth
affiliates. Each venue will not only be designed to
maintain a minimum environmental impact, but will
showcase the latest state-of-the-art energy efficiency,
on-site power generation, and sustainable facilities
management practices.
Live Earth is a
project of the SOS campaign , which is using a powerful
multimedia platform - films, television, radio, Internet,
books, wireless and others - to move people to combat the
climate crisis.
Inspired by the
upcoming July 7th Live Earth series of concerts, Madonna
has written a new song, "Hey You," which will be
available to be downloaded in the MP3 format on
Microsoft's home page, www.msn.com beginning on May 17.
The first million
downloads of "Hey You" will be free as Microsoft has
pledged to donate $0.25 per download to the Alliance for
Climate Protection for the first million downloads.

Cameron Diaz, Al Gore and Kevin
Wall hold press conference to announce Live Earth SOS
Campaign / Live Earth Concert (Los Angeles,
CA)
Detailing a historic effort to
engage billions of people across the globe, Kevin Wall,
Al Gore, Pharrell Williams, Maná, Cameron Diaz,
and the MSN Network today launched Save Our Selves (SOS)
: The Campaign for a Climate in Crisis. The
announcement was made at the California Science
Center.
LiveEarthSOS is designed to trigger
a global movement to combat our climate crisis. It will
reach people in every corner of the planet through
television, film, radio, the Internet and Live Earth, a
24-hour concert on 7/7/07 across all 7 continents that
will bring together more than 100 of the world's top
musical acts. Live Earth alone will engage an audience of
more than 2 billion people through concert attendance and
broadcasts. MSN has partnered with SOS to use its reach
to make the Live Earth concerts available across the
globe. The Live Earth audience, and the proceeds from the
concerts, will create the foundation for a new,
multi-year global effort to combat the climate crisis led
by The Alliance for Climate Protection and its Chair,
Vice President Al Gore. SOS was founded by Kevin Wall,
who won an Emmy as Worldwide Executive Producer of Live
8."Our climate crisis is the
paramount challenge facing humanity. SOS is more than a
global distress call. SOS will give the world the tools
we need to answer that call with meaningful action. The
most important part of SOS is how individuals,
corporations, and governments respond," Wall said. "Our
climate crisis affects everyone, everywhere, and that's
who SOS is aimed at. Only a global response can conquer
our climate crisis. SOS asks all people to Save Our
Selves because only we can."
"In order to solve the Climate
Crisis, we have to reach billions of people. We are
launching SOS and Live Earth to begin a process of
communication that will mobilize people all over the
world to take action," Gore said. "The Climate Crisis
will only be stopped by an unprecedented and sustained
global movement. We hope to jump-start that movement
right here, right now, and take it to a new level on July
7, 2007."

Peace' award.
Voted for by previous

justice and peace, Geldof will receive the award in Rome
from previous Nobel winner Michael Gorbachov and from the

Press
Release (September 2005)
On November 8, 2005 the biggest live event DVD project of
its kind will be released. Live 8 brings together
performances from the amazing series of concerts which
took place around the world on 2 July 2005.
Live 8 &endash; One Day
One Concert One World
The 4-disc set contains
three discs of live footage 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,
many of them with their full sets.
"It was 20 years ago
today…" Live 8 opens with U2 and Paul
McCartney's crowd-rousing rendition of Sgt. Pepper's
Lonely Hearts Club Band and also features Pink Floyd's
historical reunion, Robbie Williams's show-stopping
performance and Madonna's breathtakingly energetic
set. Younger artists such as Snow Patrol, The
Killers and Joss Stone comfortably intertwine with rock
n' roll legends such as The Who and Sting. One-off
duets come from Paul McCartney and George Michael, Stevie
Wonder and Adam Levine (Maroon 5), Elton John and Pete
Doherty and Coldplay and Richard Ashcroft. Disc 3
closes as the London concert closed on 2 July with the
stars of Live 8 Hyde Park taking to the stage for the
stunning 'Hey Jude' finale.
Along the way the Kaiser
Chiefs waved the flag for Britain in
Philadelphia. Their vigorous performance is
captured alongside American superstars Destiny's Child,
Bon Jovi, Black Eyed Peas and soul legend Stevie
Wonder.
Also threaded through the
UK and US acts are performances from artists who appeared
at the Live 8 concerts in Rome, Paris, Berlin, Toronto,
Johannesburg and Moscow. Tracks from Green
Day, Brian Wilson and Roxy Music in Berlin and Neil Young
in Toronto are included along with the Pet Shop Boys in
Moscow, Duran Duran in Rome, Vusi Mahlasela in
Johannesburg and Placebo and Muse in Paris.
Disc 4 features exclusive
extras including a never-before-seen backstage
documentary filmed at Hyde Park, Pink Floyd's Live 8
reunion rehearsal, more acts from Live 8's global
concerts including 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 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. These individual collections
offer the chance to view these concerts in greater
detail, giving fans access to the very best local artists
as well as extra tracks from key international
performers.
"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."
Says Live 8 organiser Sir Bob Geldof.
EMI and the Live 8
organisation have agreed that a generous royalty from
sales of the Live 8 DVD will go to the Band Aid Trust for
the relief of hunger and poverty in Africa.
Live 8 was held on 2 July
2005. Nine simultaneous, free concerts starring the
cream of international rock and pop artists were staged
in London, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Tokyo, Moscow, Toronto,
Johannesburg and Philadelphia. The concerts acted
as a starting point for The Long Walk To Justice in
support of the Make Poverty History and Global Call To
Action campaigns and was timed to focus attention on the
critical decisions made by the G8 summit four days later.
"You're such a lovely
audience, we'd like to take you home with us" sang
Bono. Now the two million-strong live audience and
5 billion viewers around the world can take Live 8 home

Bono and Geldof
declare victory for Live 8
from http://www.one.org in the US
From the
500,000 letters you sent to President Bush to Live 8
in Philadelphia
to the G8 Summit in Gleneagles, you called on eight men
to do more
to fight global AIDS and extreme poverty, and they heard
your call. In Scotland
this past Friday, overcoming the shadow of a tragic day
in London, President
Bush joined G8 leaders in an unprecedented deal to cancel
debts and
double aid to Africa.
For
African nations fighting poverty and corruption, this
means a $25 billion
increase in aid and wiping out 100% of their
debts. With this funding,
Africa can halve deaths from malaria, put millions of
children into school,
and 10 million people across the world will
have access to lifesaving
AIDS drugs. Behind each of these numbers is one
person, one life that
will be changed forever.
The new
funds "mean the financing is in place to halve deaths
from malaria by
2010," Bono said. He added that 600,000 people "will be
alive to remember this
G-8 in Gleneagles who would have lost their lives to"
malaria.
Geldof,
creator of the Live 8 concerts, said: "The summit in
Gleneagles is a qualified
triumph." Appearing alongside Bono at a news conference
held at the
close of the summit, he said: "A great justice has been
done."
Bono
warned G-8 leaders that they will be held to account on
their promises.
"If these
people let us down ... they will feel it when they go to
the ballot,"
he said.
Bono
said the Live 8 concerts and pro-Africa protest marches
near the G-8 summit
helped persuade the leaders of the wealthy countries to
try to help end
poverty in Africa.
"It's not
the end; it's the beginning of the end," Bono said. "A
mountain has
been climbed here only to reveal higher peaks behind
it."
This
is a big thank you to all 1.5 million of you who joined
together as ONE to
do something extraordinary.
Top 10
Things You Need to Know
about the Live 8
concerts:
"The Long Walk to Justice" by Trina
Yannicos
1) There will be up to
10 concerts held on Saturday, July 2, in
Philadelphia, London, Paris, Rome and Berlin,
Johannesburg, Ontario, Moscow, Cornwall, and Tokyo and
they are all FREE!! The only city requiring tickets is
London. Paul McCartney, Madonna and U2 are among the acts
scheduled to play in London. Other venues do not require
tickets.
Live8 organisers released
55,000 extra free tickets to Saturday's concert in Hyde
Park. The tickets will allow people to watch the event
live on giant screens. They are in addition to the
150,000 already allocated for the concert.
2) This sequel to the
historic Live Aid concert in 1985 is called "Live 8" because it will take place just before the G8 Summit on
July 5-8 in Scotland.
The G8 Summit is a
meeting of the eight most powerful world leaders: George
W. Bush (USA), Tony Blair (UK), Gerhard Schroder
(Germany), Jacques Chirac (France), Paul Martin (Canada),
Silvio Berlusconi (Italy), Junichiro Koizumi (Japan) and
Vladimir Putin (Russia).
The Group of 8 will

4) This concert is not
about raising money, but for gaining people's
support.
"We're not asking for your money, we're asking for your
voice," say the organizers.
The concerts are not fundraisers but rallying points for
the largest political constituency ever mobilised to call
for justice for Africa and the world's poor. They will
focus the whole world's attention on the critical
decisions to be made by the G8 four days
later.
The historic 1985 Live
Aid raised $200 million for Africa, but that is minimal
in terms of Africa's debt. Every day, Africa pays $200
million in debts owed to other countries including the
"Group of 8" represented at the summit. If Africa is
released from their debt by the leaders of the "Group of
8", they can start building for their future and combat
the poverty, disease and famine that has taken over the
continent.
"These concerts are the starting point for THE LONG WALK
TO JUSTICE - we will not tolerate the further pain of the
poor while we have the financial and moral means to
prevent it." says Geldof. "The boys and girls with
guitars will finally get to turn the world on its axis.
What we started 20 years ago is coming to a political
point in a few weeks. What we do next is seriously,
properly, historically and politically important."
with support from
DATA, co-founded by Bono of U2 (http://www.data.org)
who called in from France to the Live 8 press
conference;
and Elton John appeared
at the Live 8 press conference in London.
6) LIVE 8 will be
broadcast all over the world through TV, satellite, radio
and the internet.
The Philadelphia concert
will begin around Noon and run for six hours.
The London concert will begin in the afternoon and run
for six hours.
All concerts will send a video feed to London.

In the U.S., an all-day concert will be broadcast on MTV
and VH1 from Noon to 8 pm EST.
A primetime show will be broadcast on a network station
not yet identified (probably ABC).
Internationally, the MTV,
VH1 and Music Factory networks will show hourly bulletins
about the show.
XM Satellite Radio
Channels 200 and 201 will carry the concerts live
beginning at 9 am.
As the exclusive Live 8
online partner, AOL will bring together a worldwide

their voices heard at http://www.aolmusic.com http://www.aol.co.uk http://www.aol.de http://www.aol.fr
AOL Music will keep the concert footage on the internet
for SIX WEEKS after the live concerts are broadcast.
7) There is a PLAN on
the table It's called the Commission for Africa and it was put
together by Prime Minister Tony Blair, Bob Geldof and
leaders from Africa. It calls for 100% debt cancellation
for the poorest countries, doubling aid, fair trade and
specific measure to fight corruption. If these things are
agreed, then Africans will be able to lift themselves out
of poverty, with a little help from their
friends.
8) Other rallies will
be held to support the Live 8 cause
At the Live 8 press conference, it was announced that
ONE: The campaign to make poverty history in the U.S.
would sponsor a rally in Washington, DC on Friday, July 1
hosted by George Clooney.
ONE has also produced a
TV campaign of commercials featuring a multitude of
celebrities including Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Tom
Hanks, P.Diddy, Jamie Foxx, Bono, Al Pacino, Justin
Timberlake and many more.
You can see the videos at http://www.one.org
9) The Long Walk To
Justice will then move to Scotland
Midge Ure, who will announce details of events planned
for Edinburgh next week said, "Following the Live 8
concerts on July 2, tens of thousands of people will be
travelling to Scotland with a sense of great
responsibility as we walk the last mile to justice. By
the eve of the G8 summit - Wednesday 6 July in Edinburgh
&endash; there will be thousands upon thousands of
committed people in Scotland's capital &endash; this will
be the world's last opportunity to say to the G8 - 'be
bold, be historic, be magnificent. Tomorrow, you can
actually take the steps to make poverty history. Are you
for or are you against? It's make your mind up
time."
10) Live 8: 8 men can
save millions of lives The aim of it all is to make poverty history. "Today,
like every other day, 50,000 people will die
unnecessarily," says Richard Curtis, the writer and
co-founder of Comic Relief, which is part of the Make
Poverty History Campaign. "If 50,000 people died in
London on Monday, in Rome on Tuesday, Berlin on
Wednesday, in New York on Thursday and in Paris on
Friday, the G8 leaders in Gleneagles would find the money
and the solution to the problem as they walked from the
front door to the reception desk."
"Live 8 gives us a way to
come together with one voice and make them hear us. At
live8live.com you will find the addresses and telephone
numbers of these 8 men to write, call, email, send a
text, or hold up a sign. We want people to get more
involved and join campaigns like ONE.org in the U.S. and
Make Poverty History in the UK and get on the
move.
If enough people come,
watch or tune in to Live 8 and take action, then these 8
men will agree to do the right thing. Live 8 will
therefore be the most important concert ever."
