Live 8 - Page 2

**The Mask** · 07-02-2005, 06:08 PM

i think it wwent off before they were even on

**TheNamelessOne** · 07-02-2005, 06:14 PM

Robbie Williams is on in London this very minute, after this its The Who and Pink Floyd.

Most of the day has been pretty crap, I did like UB40, REM and even the Scissor Sisters were entertaining for a change.

But Velvet Revolver were fucking AWESOME in London. Acheiving new levels of awesomeness.

**el fregadero** · 07-02-2005, 06:20 PM

I meant have they shown them on tv, because I'm not actually in London you see.

**Arashi Kage** · 07-02-2005, 06:30 PM

I turned down going to Live 8 in Barrie, I just didn't feel up to going. My buddy said his tickets were "almost front row", maybe I should have gone, oh well, too late now.

LK · 07-02-2005, 06:34 PM

The stereophonics were great, killers were good (only one friggin song), velvet revolvler sounded good and green day were very good in Berlin.

**TheNamelessOne** · 07-02-2005, 06:43 PM

The Who are currently on stage.

FUCKING AWESOME. SOCKS ROCKED BEYOND REPAIR.

**Loose Cannon** · 07-02-2005, 06:48 PM

YEA, DAM RIGHT

**TheNamelessOne** · 07-02-2005, 06:48 PM

WON'T GET FOOLED AGAIN...NO NO

**Loose Cannon** · 07-02-2005, 06:50 PM

I hope they do one more

Baba O' Riley

**Loose Cannon** · 07-02-2005, 06:52 PM

darn

**TheNamelessOne** · 07-02-2005, 06:54 PM

Bastards! Fuck of Johnathon Ross I don't want to see your face! BRING BACK PETER KAYE

**TheNamelessOne** · 07-02-2005, 06:55 PM

Oh well, on the bright side, Floyd next. Bet the BBC decides to interupt that with a highly interesting interview with that bloke from Travis. Yeah that one.

LK · 07-02-2005, 06:59 PM

Reminds me Travis were good as well. The Who were fucking awesome as well as was the Coldplay/Verve combo.

**Loose Cannon** · 07-02-2005, 07:08 PM

Floyd

**Loose Cannon** · 07-02-2005, 07:18 PM

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

WISH YOU WERE HERE

**McLegend** · 07-02-2005, 07:31 PM

Pink Floyd was amazing

**Mr. Monday Morning** · 07-02-2005, 07:31 PM

Comfortably Numb

**Mr. Monday Morning** · 07-02-2005, 07:33 PM

Oh, yeah believe it or not (I dunno if it got shown over there) but Snoop was on about 5 hours ago and put on a decent show, got the crowd very into it. Madonna was a very good performance also.

**The Miz** · 07-02-2005, 08:15 PM

Paul McCartney + George Michael = vomit

**Loose Cannon** · 07-02-2005, 08:27 PM

gonna lose it with all this snapping finger shit soon

**TheNamelessOne** · 07-02-2005, 08:29 PM

Paul McCartney = Vomit.

His ego dominated this show. He opened it and he closed it.

And he ended in the most predictable way with "Hey Jude"

**RoXer** · 07-02-2005, 08:51 PM

Velvet Revolver & Audioslave

**The Outlaw** · 07-02-2005, 09:34 PM

Holy shit

**DegenerationY** · 07-03-2005, 02:03 AM

K, what the fuck. I don't wanna see Mariah Carey and George Michael sing Hey Jude.

Can't even find any video clips of Pink Floyd. This sucks.

**FakeLaser** · 07-03-2005, 02:15 AM

I MISSED ITTTTTTTTTTT

**el fregadero** · 07-03-2005, 02:45 AM

I was recording like the last three hours after I went to work just to see Audioslave and Pink Floyd, and it didn't work like usual. Feeling down in the dumps right now.

**DegenerationY** · 07-03-2005, 04:06 AM

You can see rebroadcasts of the entire thing on aolmusic.com

Naturally, the London feed is not working.

**el fregadero** · 07-03-2005, 04:32 AM

It's working now, but you can't fast forward. And Pink Floyd is the last band on.

**The Gooch** · 07-04-2005, 09:29 AM

Highlights:

Pink Floyd
Gordon Lightfoot
Neil Young (especially the "Keep on Rockin' in the Free World" finale)
DMC
Green Day
Deep Purple (you can tell they make their money touring)
REM
Elton John

Surprises:

Robbie Williams (never thought he'd be that good live)
Madonna (same as Robbie)

Disappointments:

Blue Rodeo (not musically, I just didn't care for their set selection)
Bryan Adams (same as Blue Rodeo)
Tom Cochrane (poor opening for the Canadian Show his voice seemed shot)
Paul McCartney (dunno why, I'm just disappointed they didn't end with Floyd. "Hey Jude" is just too overdone nowadays)

Strange:

Canadian fans booing Celine Dion. Funny, but not very appropriate in my opinion considering the event.

**The Miz** · 07-04-2005, 03:12 PM

It is never inappropriate to boo Celine Dion

**Boomer** · 07-04-2005, 03:59 PM

Canada has apologized for Brian Adams on multiple occasions.

But yet, we haven't apologized for Celine Dion - why?

**Zen v.W.o.** · 07-06-2005, 12:18 AM

Well think of this. Every band made the effort to go to the actual site the gigs were taking place. Celine does the Canadian one, in fucking Vegas. She has such an ego, she records her performance in Vegas, acts over dramatic as usual, and expects that to go over well. Can she not leave Vegas for one moment? No wonder they booed.

That's why I found it funny because I found Celine to be in typical Diva form. Then again she is likely under some kind of contract with the Hotel. That will be her excuse anyway.

Given that it was a charity event, I'm thinking the fans were still out of line. It reminds me of when the fans booed Justin Timberlake at the SARS concert. Again, I found it hilarious, but when you stop to think about why you are there, it was probably the wrong thing to do.

**packt up** · 07-17-2005, 04:04 PM

I went to the London gig. It was pretty cool - tired after standing all that time. Coldplay, Pink Flloyd and dare I say it Robbie Williams were the best acts wooo.

**Mr. JL** · 07-22-2005, 01:45 AM

Yeah, this is a little late but I have been so busy I haven't really had time to think or type up anything.

I must say the finale witrh Neil Young and keep on rocking in the free world was amazing. You just can't describe it. It felt really surreal.

I must say Simple Plan really got the crowd going, not my personal favourite but they sounded pretty good. My favourite performance was Our Lady Peace. I've just been so busy with working full time, summer school, girlfriend, family that I still haven't had any time to really reflect.

I would have really liked to be at the London concert tho with Pink F'N Floyd
