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

Live.......2007-06-27

I missed the concert when it actually happened. It's nice to have it always in this package.

Simply Unforgettable.......2007-06-01

I bought this DVD for one reason only.....Pink Floyd Reunion. I wasn't dissapointed. I was however dissapointed in MTV for cutting out most of David Gilmour's guitar solo on Comfortably Numb. The only part of the Floyd performance I didn't like was Roger singing on Wish you Were Here. Dave probably should have sang everything. The highlight of the concert was Gilmour's guitar solo on Comfortably Numb. I haven't seen Dave play with that much emotion for a very long time and it gave me chills. That is why he is one of the greatest guitar players of our time. A must own for any Floyd fan.....

Great video of Pink Floyd.......2007-05-23

I basically bought this video to see the reunion of the Pink Floyd band - all members. Thought the concert was excellent in general, but particularly loved the Pink Floyd portion. If you are a fan, I highly suggest this video.

Give me more!.......2007-05-15

The only problem with this box set, is that there needs to be even more! While 4 discs is a great deal of material... the quality of what is presented (the song selection and the overall mixing) is simply superb. There is something for everyone one these DVD's. These DVD's are great to watch or just listen to wile you work around the house. At this price, you've got to be an idiot not to pick it up!

GREAT DVD, GREAT MESSAGE.......2007-05-01

I bought this DVD , cos as almost evey single person in the western world I watched this concert in MTV, so I WANTED , this show is plenty of good performances, I love DVD movies, concerts and whatever, actually I have 2 home teather at home (Philips and Sony) but this one it is special, the DTS sound it just simply WOW, they did a really nice job with the mix, so if you have this concert you must listen the DTS audio, for me it is the better audio that I ever heard in a DVD, Put simply it is a worthy buying

Our Lady Peace DVD - just awesome.......2006-12-14

Just received my copy today (stuck out here in the Pacific, took a while to find out it existed).

I'm still in the process of watching it for the first time, but I just feel like shouting to the world just how awesome this band is. If you're an Our Lady Peace fan, you'll love this DVD. Even if you're not a big OLP fan, but do like a good rock performance, you'll get some enjoyment out of this. Great bands are always better live than any album can capture.

The rendition of Naveed is just amazing! And I've still got two thirds of the disc to go... can only get better!

It was great.......2006-11-04

I recieved my package in timely matter and it was in really good condition. I was very happy with my purchase.

Great Live Performance.......2006-05-21

This concert follows their 2002 CD "Gravity". The credits read "Recorded on the Fear of the Trailer Park Tour in Calgary, Edmonton and Montreal, Canada - January/February 2003."
I happen to have seen Our Lady Peace during their "Spiritual Machine" 2000 tour which was amazing and a great CD btw. They have their own following as Raine Maida enjoys the audience vocal particapation. They cover a number of their tunes from past albums. They even do a cover of The Cars "Drive" which is a very good version. Also a theme song for WWE "Whatever". Also a new song that so far hasn't been released titled "Our Time Is Fading".
You also have their staple encore of "4AM" as the audience sing the song. I've seen this live which I have to admit was amazing to actually experience.

As for the camera work it's different angles w/ plenty of close ups as well as full stage view.
The band is in great form as they perform w/ the line up from "Gravity" plus additional musician Michael Eisenstein (who's in the dark). Excellent guitar work during the beginning of "Naveed" and Steve Mazur solo during "The Birdman". Raine is a very emotional singer as he performs to the crowd. This band is very cool to watch w/ Jeremy's drumming and some heavy bass from Duncan. Raine even straps on the occasional guitar as his voice is strong even w/ him running around on & off stage.

The extra footage included on this DVD is...

Interview - w/ the band which they seem to be very humble w/ no ego. They really seem to appreciate the fans.
On Tour - shows the behind the scenes from in the studio to on the road in many different areas of the world. Also some interviews w/ the band and life on the road.

Gallery - is a bunch of still shots from this tour.

Videos - include 3 which are "Starseed" a video of the live performance along w/ special effects.
"Thief" an acoustic performance of this number from some other show.
"Not Enough" a multi-angle screen shot of this live performance. It could be a 4 split screen to view each member. Very good.

Other extras include a Discography & Band list.

You don't have to be a big fan of Our Lady Peace to enjoy this DVD. I say even if you have one of their CDs it's worth viewing this band.

AWESOME.......2005-03-29

This is a great concert by Our Lady Peace... If you have listened the Live CD extracted from this concert you are still missing a lot of songs.

Our Lady Peace is for sure one of those groups that sound great in a CD... but even better LIVE

Stop reading this review, and Buy this DVD, you won't regret about it

too good for words.......2004-09-30

passion, meaning, synergy, music, beautiful, dark, energy, genuine. these are all words that come to mind when i watch this

Our Lady Peace - This DVD Is Definitely Not "In Repair&.......2004-08-05

I'm an OLP fan from the "Clumsy" album forward. After buying "Clumsy" I went back and snatched up "Naveed" and loved it as well. While "Gravity" was completely mainstream and void of the creativity and unsturdy musical hooks that the first 3-4 albums demonstrated, I am not one of those OLP fans who can't listen to the latest album. "All For You," "Bring Back the Sun", and the bridge from "Sorry" keep pulling me back into the past with a few glimpses of the cleverness the first few albums had.

With that said, this DVD is for all OLP fans. If you loved the loud and monotonous anthems from "Gravity" or "Gravity" was your first experience with OLP, there are 6 tunes here that will keep you latched. But it's the other stuff here that's the glue to this amazing concert. The audio mixing is decent but unspectacular, and there aren't any amazing effects or distracting show elements here. But there is musical bliss going on.

"Naveed" with the "Life" interlude is an amazing 10 minutes of R&R. All the classics are here, such as "4 A.M." "Clumsy", "Superman's Dead," "Starseed," and "The Birdman." The cover of The Cars tune "Drive" is fantastic and fits perfectly with Raine's vocals. It's one cover that's worth of a studio recording.

While old-school fans will miss hearing a few of the rare gems they have played live over the years, and I'll personally miss not hearing things like "Julia," "Automatic Flowers," and a lot of Happiness is Not a Fish That You Can Catch songs like "Blister" and "Thief." But I'm still blown away by this band, even with the mainstream stuff they've come out with. Even though I know it's not the golden river of music that's poured out of OLP in the past, "Gravity" era music is STILL better than 99% of everything else I hear on the radio, if just for the lyrics and vocals.

This DVD is a must-have for an OLP fan - I think we're all hoping for more experimentation with their next record, but until then - this should keep those OLP concert cravings subdued in the comfort of your own house.

Possibly the greatest ever live DVD?.......2004-07-31

The OLP Live DVD just shows you why music DVDs are so popular. If all live DVDs were like this there would be no bad music in the world. The special features aren't up to much but there is a good "making of" feature which gives it an edge. A must buy for any OLP fan or even a person who only likes one of their songs - this DVD will blow them away.
