Description
NetAid began with a concert event on Saturday October 9, 1999 with simultaneous activities meant to harness the Internet to raise money and awareness for the Jubilee 2000 campaign. Concerts took place at Wembley Stadium in London, Giants Stadium in New Jersey and the Palais des Nations in Geneva. The Wembley show was at capacity; the U.S. show suffered from very poor ticket sales.
VH1 in the USA broadcasted the global event LIVE for one time only. This 2 DVD Set is sourced from that broadcast.

This material is very rare and it has been very precious to us since we are currently working on an Annie Lennox documentary for French broadcast. Adam from MVR has been extremely helpful with our inquieries. Sites like MVR one are few and scarce and it’s more and more difficult to find this type of visual music archive online. I strongly recommend this site, his manager and the product. Greetings from France and thank you
