Live 8

[//\/\/]

robbie - bless 'im - top performer, and looking genuinely excited by the whole thing - best act imo - a lot of emotion and so many good vibes that karl'd be shaking!

though i have to say; the who have been very impressive!


peter kaye introducing the who as "the spice girls" was pretty cool as well as asking a technician who was ushering him to the side of the stage "are you sober?" any americans watching who saw 150,000 people singing along to "show me the way to amarillo" might have been a bit confused...

[Eikman]

Pink Floyd were stunning.

Yeah PF was ACE! 'this is for syd' fabulous
History in the making.
watching the rerun at dutch telly now... knowing it is already safe on my dvdrs HDD
With The Who and Angels by robbie. Think what you want about robbie, but that song is THE crowd song ever.

[Bargo]

I had a lump in my throat throughout PF's performance. Jeez it was good. Roger really seemed to be getting into it and enjoying the whole thing, lots of smiles. The solos for Comfortably Numb were as powerful as ever. God bless 'em.

i was pissed off that the coverage interrupted peter kaye for a smarmy love-in with george micheals...

on a lighter note, besides Robbie PF and the Who i really enjoyed Madonna and Razorlight ......it was an 'in the pub' job though so i may have been pissed

"PHILADELPHIA — With 10 concerts around the globe designed to push Africa to the top of the agenda of next week's Group of Eight (search) summit, it may be fitting that the largest turnout by far was in the United States."

it may be fitting...in what sense...that the biggest crowd saw the worst bands and that they have the least pro active leader attending the G8 summit?

typical bloody yanks, join the party late and then save the day?

With a population of more than double the other members, then yes, it may be fitting.
