CONCERT

Whittling down Live Earth—the daylong global event that took place July 7—to one CD and two DVDs is a tough task even for the best of editors. But that is exactly what this combo package (subtitled The Concerts for a Climate in Crisis) attempts, with mixed results. The DVDs are more successful in capturing the spirit and span of the whole thing, with the highlight being Keith Urban and Alicia Keys' hot "Gimme Shelter" at New Jersey's Giants Stadium. Given so much overlap with the DVD selections, the CD is pretty pointless, unless you really need to have Madonna's "Hey You." (Yawn.)
