Live 8 - 2005-07-02 - London, UK (FM)

Twenty years after Live Aid raised millions to "Feed The World", Bob Geldorf launched another massive series of benefit concerts/festivals designed to "Make Poverty History.  Known as Live 8, these concerts, held in 10 countries simultaneously, were timed right before the start of the G8 economic summit in order to gain the attention of world political leaders. Live 8 played a key role in getting the G8 nations to pledge to double aid too impoverished countries from $25 billion to $50 billion by 2010.  This FM broadcast from July 2, 2005, 2 decades years ago today, captures some of the highlights from the London portion of Live 8 festival, including sets from Paul Mccartney, U2, Elton John, Sting, The Who and Pink Floyd, with Roger Waters rejoining David Gilmour, Nick Mason and Richard Wright for the first time in 24 years.
