A bit late now, I know, but I'm interested to see what people thought of it.

I didn't get to see much of it, only a few bands which I'm not really interested in (Greenday for one). A bit upset that I missed out on Bjork in Tokyo.

i loved it...U2 wasnt that good, but Pink floyd was awesome. u can still listen to it with aol music. here's a link:

I loved watching Live8, I think all the acts were really great~!!!! Green Day in Berlin rocked, wish I could have seen all of the Berlin one, and more of Tokyo, Dreams Come True looked pretty good~!!! ^_^

i liked mostly the london concerts. pink floyd, the who and U2. did the stones perform?

I watched the entire Live 8 telecast (well the 11 hour one that was shown here) and was disappointed that alot of my favourite bands only had one song shown on the coverage. I know for certain that Muse did more then Hysteria but I guess it was more of a popularity contest than actual talent! XD Shame for Audioslave too.

Bon Jovi was a standout performence and sang almost perfectly. Green Day took too long to finish a song, and well... Mariah Carey's performance was 90% tits and 10% song.

It was great to watch it though and the intentions were good :) Lets just hope it can be the difference that makes a difference.

i dont feel like starting a new thread, so i'll just put it here: the rolling stones are coming to connecticut!...(thats the state where i lives)...

..now, i just gotta get tickets...somehow. :sigh:

Heh. Greenday's coming to Vegas, so I know how you feel. Not that I love Greenday more than anything else... but it'd be fun to go see.
The Red Hot Chili Peppers came a while back... that I did get to go see, and it was great.

What is Live8, though? It sounds like it was good... but what was it?

From what I have seen it is just a big europe tour. The killers played in london <3 <3 <3

aww i missed it too, aw well

This is kinda long so I put it in spoilers ^.^


"This is not Live Aid 2.

These concerts are the start point for The Long Walk To Justice, the one way we can all make our voices heard in unison.

This is without doubt a moment in history where ordinary people can grasp the chance to achieve something truly monumental and demand from the 8 world leaders at G8 an end to poverty.

The G8 leaders have it within their power to alter history. They will only have the will to do so if tens of thousands of people show them that enough is enough.

By doubling aid, fully cancelling debt, and delivering trade justice for Africa, the G8 could change the future for millions of men, women and children."

~~~~~~~~~~
LIVE 8 is part of a day of action across the world which kick-starts The Long Walk to Justice that calls on the leaders of the world’s richest countries to act when they meet in Gleneagles on 6th-9th July. On July 2nd in London, Edinburgh, Philadelphia, Berlin, Paris and Rome millions will be coming together to call for complete debt cancellation, more and better aid and trade justice for the world’s poorest people.

LIVE 8 is calling for people across the world to unite in one call – in 2005 it is your voice we are after, not your money.

The G8 brings together the leaders of the worlds most powerful countries – the USA, Canada, Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Japan and Russia. This year they meet from 6th – 9th July in Gleneagles with Britain’s Prime Minister, Tony Blair hosting the summit.

Tony Blair has put the challenges faced in Africa on the top of the agenda – but the leaders need to know when they sit down that the world is watching them and waiting for them to deliver.
