The first single from "Live Earth - The Concerts For A Climate In Crisis" will be "Bleed It Out", performed by LINKIN PARK at Maduhari Messe in Japan. The digital bundle of tracks will be available on iTunes, Zune and from other digital retailers on November 6.

In addition to the live performances, the "Live Earth" DVD will also include six short films from the Live Earth Film Series and a documentary on the making of Live Earth shot by award-winning filmmakers Nick Wickham and Emer Patten. The short films, some of which premiered at the 2007 Tribeca Film Festival, were commissioned by Live Earth to utilize the power of film to educate a global audience through entertainment.

The digital album will become available globally for purchase via iTunes and all other participating digital retail outlets on November 6. iTunes was the first to launch a pre-order campaign which began in earnest less than 24 hours after the actual July 7 event with an available for purchase instant download of JOHN MAYER's compelling performance of "Waiting On The World To Change".

Live Earth's net proceeds from the sale of "Live Earth - The Concerts For A Climate In Crisis" will go to benefit the Alliance for Climate Protection, whose mission is to persuade the public about the importance and urgency of adopting and implementing effective and comprehensive solutions for the climate crisis.
