Saturday 7 February 2009 will Forever be known as Black Saturday.
On this day the worst bushfires in the history of Australia caused devastation across Victoria like never seen before. The effect this
terrible tragedy had was felt not only here, but worldwide. Almost simultaneously Queensland was undergoing its own tragedy,
with the state experiencing widespread flooding.
In response to our nation's greatest ever natural disasters, Australia's music community, along with some of the biggest music names
internationally, banded together for two stadium benefit concerts that ran simultaneously in both Melbourne and Sydney under the
unified banner Sound Relief.
The final result of over $8 million raised is an achievement that everyone should be proud of. It is fitting that such a tremendous
event can be immortalised on dvd and the generosity of the artists involved must again be acknowledged and commended. Thanks
should also be given to all the individuals and companies that contributed their time and resources to make Sound Relief such a
resounding success.
There is little doubt in my mind that Sound Relief will long remain one of the most significant events in Australia's rich music history.
On behalf of everyone involved I hope you enjoy Sound Relief as much as the organisers, artists and everyone that worked on it.
I will never forget it.
