Al Gore's Climate Change Concerts Bigger Than Live Aid

I just read about Al Gore's huge concerts this summer for Climate Change.
Apparently the talent involved will make it bigger than Live Aid.
I wonder if he's trying to get Fleetwood Mac to play...

Wow.. We'll have to see tomorrow when it's announced what's in store.. But it sounds like it could be pretty cool! If anything Stevie and Lindsey should get involved if the rest of the band doesn't... They look like they'll at least be active at that time.

I hadn't heard anything about this yet, sounds really interesting.

Concerts as in more shows at the same time in different cities, like with Live Aid (and 8)?

Oh, please, please. please. John, if you're out there could you mention this to the others? I know you were a big supporter of Greenpeace and I'm sure the others are in favor of the planet not melting.

I say we email the Gore camp and the band members respective management asking them to get involved in the concert.

Can't wait to see who he has in store... I thought Live Aid was amazing, and it will take alot to compete.

Never a truer word spoken!
A one-off, never to be repeated, nothing like it. I actually got rather irritated when I read this thread title: "Bigger than Live Aid? Pfft. We'll see. ¬¬"
Nah, fair play to him and all the rest but the talent just isn't there these days. Case in point, Live 8.
Geldof for President!

I don't know about Fleetwood Mac, but I have heard of Madonna, Pink Floyd, and a Reunited LED ZEPPELIN!

Those were different times in the music biz, halcyon days unlikely to ever be seen again. Although Live 8 came pretty close.
