Talking of DVDs, Warner Music will release a four disc DVD box set of Live Aid on 1 Nov, nearly twenty years on from the legendary concert. The major won the rights to release the historic event after Bob Geldof decided an official release was needed to stop the sale of pirated recordings.
Confirming the release Ray Still from Warner's Vision division told reporters: "It's an understatement to say that it's a great pleasure and an honour for Warner Vision to be involved in bringing all the extraordinary moments and performances that encapsulated Live Aid to DVD for the first time."
On the whole Live Aid thing, Geldof added: "Twenty years ago they not only played 'real good for free' they took an issue that was nowhere on the agenda of the political world and placed it at the very top."
