The official Live 8 Book is now available - Buy yours today!

Random House has published a book about the Live 8 Concerts. Hannah Black, who is the Commissioning Editor of Century,  has acquired exclusive world rights to the official Live 8 tie-in book from Simon Trewin at PFD.

Hannah Black was quoted as saying, 'I feel passionately about this cause. It's not often in publishing that you get to work on a book that will help make a real difference. One of the amazing things about this is that we're seeing all the dreams of changing the world that inspired rock music in the Sixties actually coming to fruition".  The 192 page book includes a Foreword by none other than Bob Geldof. The book includes crystal clear pictures of the bands that played the various Live 8 concert events.

The majority of images are from the Live8 London concert, but other great shots from the USA and Canadian concert have been included as well. A very small number of shot has been included from the Paris, Berlin, and Rome. Only one shot from South Africa and one shot from Cornwall. The book however is an awesome piece of history.

After much speculation due to the release of the Live Aid DVD box set, Bob Geldof (Live Aid promoter) was in the spotlight again. Inspired by the 1984 hugely successful Live Aids concert and the recent Band Aid re-recording of the song "Do They Know It's Christmas?", Bob Geldof has again decided to make a solid stance against poverty in Africa - Live 8 concerts.  On May 31, 2005 Bob Geldof announced that a series of concerts called Live 8 will be staged in London, Philadelphia, Paris Rome and Berlin. These concerts were available on multiple stations including BBC, AOL, and MTV.
