On I July 2007 at the new Wembley Stadium 'Concert for Diana' was staged in front of an audience of 62,000 and beamed to a worldwide TV audience of many hundreds of millions in over 140 countries. The concert, organised by Prince William and Prince Harry to celebrate the life of their mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, on what would have been her 46th birthday proved to be a spectacular success – with the UK TV viewing figure peaking at a massive 15 million. The entire concert, and many extra features, is captured on a two disc DVD.
Featuring a truly unique artist line-up, spanning a broad artistic spectrum ...from Pharrell Williams to the English National Ballet, with the criteria being that the artists invited were some of the favourites of the Princess and the Princes: this resulted in a intoxicating blend of rock, pop, rap, classical and musical theatre. The two disc DVD, filmed by Janet Fraser Crook, features all of the 21 memorable performances by many of the world's greatest musicians.
The Concert for Diana DVD, like the Concert itself, is presented in three Acts and includes much fascinating unseen footage. With a running time of over five and a half hours, the Concert for Diana DVD includes all the artists and presenters as well as a fascinating behind-the-scenes documentary. The DVD also contains all the poignant 'Diana and me' films, a series of short films about Diana which were interwoven through the concert and give compelling testimony from people of all ages and walks of life about how the Princess touched so many people's lives.
Rod's performance in full, Baby Jane, Maggie May and Sailing
is featured in act three.
