Live in Unity is a series of concerts held by a Hong Kong female singer, Denise Ho / Hocc. It started on October 26-28, 2006 called Hocc Live in Unity 2006 at Hong Kong Coliseum. Due to the great feedback from the audience, Hocc continued the show by performing a part two on January 19-20, 2007 called Hocc Live in Unity 2007 at the same venue. She started her world tour of the Live in Unity series on January 14, 2007 at Macau Fisherman's Wharf and extended it to Toronto, Canada and Atlantic City, USA. The slogan and theme of Live in Unity are "We Stand As One" and to "Live in Unity".
The concert concept is to express how Hocc herself walked through these 10 years in her music career and how she gained so much love and support in this period of time, gradually forming their own united group as expressed in the song "The Illuminous Organization" (光明會). The concert was well organized to express this idea, including all the colored parts in her rundown, which marks the different steps in her music career); the stage design, which starts off as a tiny stage far from the audience, gradually expanding towards all directions and reaching every corner.
As usual, Hocc collaborated with her band, Green Mountain Orchestra (青山大樂隊) and a few members from People Mountain People Sea (人山人海), for this series of concerts.

“To complain of the age we live in, to murmur at the present possessors of power, to lament the past, to conceive extravagant hopes of the future, are the common dispositions of the greatest part of mankind.”
—Edmund Burke (1729–1797)
“Facts are generally overesteemed. For most practical purposes, a thing is what men think it is. When they judged the earth flat, it was flat. As long as men thought slavery tolerable, tolerable it was. We live down here among shadows, shadows among shadows.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“Authority is the spiritual dimension of power because it depends upon faith in a system of meaning that decrees the necessity of the hierarchical order and so provides for the unity of imperative control.”
—Shoshana Zuboff (b. 1951)
