RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - A Brazilian judge revoked on Thursday her own injunction blocking the Rio de Janeiro leg of the Live Earth global series of concerts after organizers secured approval from the police and met security concerns.

"The show is on again. The prosecutor's office asked the judge to reconsider and she revoked the suspension," said a spokeswoman for the Rio Justice Tribunal.

The prosecutor's office, which requested the initial injunction, had argued there were not enough police to safeguard Saturday's climate change awareness concert on Copacabana beach.

It said police officers would be busy with the Pan American Games that start on July 13 in the crime-plagued city.
