LIVE EARTH
In 1984, the Irish rock singer Bob Geldof saw a TV programme about a famine in Africa. He asked his musician friends to record a song for charity. Some of the most famous stars in the world formed a ‘supergroup’ called Band Aid. Their song raised eight million US dollars in the first month. Then Geldof started planning something much bigger-Live Aid.
The first International rock concert Live Aid was called ‘the biggest rock concert in the world.’ In fact there wasn’t just one concert. On 13th July 1985, morę than one hundred and fifty thousand people attended concerts in Britain, the USA, Australia and Russia. One and a half billion people watched it on television and Live Aid raised about eighty million dollars for charity.
New words
• attend • charity • continent • famine
• global warming • lifestyles • politicians

Twenty years later, Bob Geldof and Bono helped to organise Live 8. They wanted politicians from eight of the world’s richest countries to listen to their message Make pouerty history. There were concerts in ten countries.
Live Aid and Live 8 weren’t as big as Live Earth.
In 2007, there were ten huge concerts on six continents. The organisers wanted to teach the world about global warming. ‘Nothing on Earth is as important as this,’ they said. Celebrities and their fans promised to change their lifestyles and ‘go green.’
