The Concert for Diana

The Concert for Diana is a live album by Luke Melvin released as material from the Concert for Diana which he organised himself very quickly following her death. All proceedings Melvin made from the tickets and the live album went to Prince Harry and Prince William. The album was released by Melvin's Meet the Eye label. Any money at all, not even one penny was missed out, went to the future of the young princes.

Background
Immediately following the death of Diana, Princess of Wales, Luke Melvin set up the Concert for Diana for the young Prince Harry and William. He immediately got tons of bands and acts to perform at Wembley Stadium for the princess. It was advertised on 1 September 1997, the day after the death of Diana. Many, many people performed at the concert and it was the biggest audience of all time with 500,000 fitting into Wembley. On TV, it was watched by 2.3 billion people worldwide. The day ended with a performance from Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo Starr and Luke Melvin.

Preparing the album
Following the concert, Luke Melvin knew that immediately there would be bootleggers because of the 2.3 billion audience. He prepared the recordings for release (as he was in charge of the event). They came out just over a month after the concert under the title The Concert for Diana.
