**The historic Live Aid fundraising concert held on 13 July 1985 will finally be
released for the first time on DVD in November 2004.**

Live Aid was held at London’s Wembley Stadium and Philadelphia’s JFK Stadium. The
concert raised more than $70 million for famine relief in Africa.

The four-disc DVD package will be released by Warner Vision International.

The DVD release came about after pirated copies were found online. As a result the
Band Aid Trust agreed to auction the global rights for the concerts for the first
time. Nevertheless, while the tracklist is extensive, it does not include every 
song performed at the concert, which will disappoint many.

The DVD set will retail at £39.99, although Amazon.co.uk is currently offering it
for £27.99, a 30% reduction. It is already taking pre-orders.
