Live Earth
July 31, 2007 by David Bergman
Last month, I was one of the fortunate few photographers to cover the Live Earth show at Giants Stadium in New Jersey. With the help of Al Gore, there were concerts across all seven continents on 7-7-07 to help raise awareness about the dangers of global warming.
Whether you think the show had an impact or not, you can’t deny that they had a fantastic lineup. The NJ concert featured The Police, Roger Waters, Smashing Pumpkins, Bon Jovi, Dave Matthews, Kelly Clarkson, Kanye West, Melissa Etheridge, Fall Out Boy, Keith Urban, and others.
I spent most of the long day in the photo pit right in front of the stage but at one point wandered around the stadium to make this image. I shot it in color and then did some Photoshop work to convert it to black and white with selective focus.
