Too Much Talking - Too Little Music by Jeff Stiegler (Paso Robles, CA United States)  1 Stars
October 16, 2009
So much of the music was left off this DVD it staggers the mind. This DVD seems to be 60% talk and 40% music. Many of the performances were cut short leaving me irritated beyond belief. Live 8 is a superior offering.

Would Have Been Nice To Have More by Bryan A. Pfleeger (Metairie, Louisiana United States)  3 Stars
September 23, 2009
The Live Earth Concerts for a Climate in Crisis on July 7, 2007 were a chance to get the word out about the problems of global warming. This was to be a significant event for the younger generation to understand the scope of the problem that Al Gore had been talking about for years. The concerts covered multi continents with many entertainers. This two DVD/one CD set acts as a kind of highlight reel of the shows with a special focus on the New Jersey and London venues.
For the most part the musical selection is quite good albeit limited. There are the mandatory performances by the big names: Roger Waters, Genesis, The Police and Metallica. The best performances are some of the smaller ones: Rihanna's Umbrella from Tokyo, Linken Park's Bleed it Out from the same venue, Joss Stone from South Africa. The absolue highlight was Melissa Etheridge's I Need To Wake Up from an Inconvenient Truth.
The set includes quite a bit of bonus material including an extended making of feature, a presentation on a green record label and some short films and public service announcements that were shown at the concert. The only real problem is that we weren't treated to more of the music.

Should've rocked, but fell a bit short... by Kevin Hunter (Los Angeles, CA) 3 Stars
July 06, 2008
This should've been and could've been a great package, but you'll feel jipped, many of the performances that night are not on these discs. However, there are some surprise strong performances like, Keith Urban and Alicia Keys performing a Rolling Stone song together, Madonna doing something different by inviting some gypsy musicians onto the stage to perform a high energy performance of "La Isla Bonita", but you have to skip around to the great songs. Some of the big artists like "The Police" play lousy annoying songs instead of a classic.

madonna fan by madonna fan (venezuela) 3 Stars
March 04, 2008
i agree with most reviewers, 1 song from every performer and many left out? HEY YOU on cd but not on dvd? u would think that HEY YOU, being a specially written song and performance 4 the event, wouldve at least made the dvd 1 song live perfomance cut, instead of the bordello version of LA ISLA BONITA! really!

annoying by Brian Hocum (clarkston,wa) 1 Stars
January 22, 2008
This dvd is like a tribute to Al Gore with alot of talk about saving the earth (now since Live 8 has stamped out poverty).Very annoying political statements about how to save energy etc at menu sites on dvd. Most of the songs sucked also. There are some good groups on dvd but bad songs and irritating comments, like so and so is a great American? This dvd certainly will not heat up the enviornment save money and buy an air conditioner instead
