Live Earth: The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis (2007)

If you can stomach the posturing on 'climate change', then you will find some top-notch performances across seven continents. This two disc set contains songs from the good: Bon Jovi, Linkin Park, Lenny Kravitz, Metallica, RHCP--the just ok: Kasabian, Rihanna, James Blunt, and the lame: Pussycat Dolls and the Black Eyed Peas. Also thrown in, the likes of Roger Waters, Smashing Pumpkins, Madonna, Chris Cornell--it's a veritable who's who.

Live Earth is filled with solid and mostly enjoyable performances--it's the hot air from celebutainers and Algore that annoys me. Please. Do tell how we, the common people, can reduce our carbon footprint and save ourselves from nuclear winter. *rolls eyes*

The performances were dead on--that is the only reason to see Live Earth. Use your scene selection button and imagine the energy you could save.
