It was the biggest ever live concert, aimed to make poverty history.

Days after Live 8 rocked the world, attention has now moved to the reason for those concerts - the G8 summit.
The meeting of eight of the most powerful world leaders happens on Wednesday (6 July)in Scotland - and one of the things they will talk about is Africa.
Live 8 organiser Bob Geldof is hoping hundreds of thousands of people will travel to Scotland for the summit.
He thinks if enough people go to Scotland, the world leaders will have to agree a deal to help Africa.
Already, 18 of the poorest countries have been told they don't have to pay back the millions they owe, and the debts of another 20 countries may be cancelled too.
