I don't remember Live Aid that much. I remember it, but not the acts really.

This has been fun today with all ya'll. Also, it reminds me of when that station played FM all day and we were all sittin' here posting about the songs. LOL When is that happening again, I wonder?

How did I miss them earlier?

[rbs3676]

I've been feeling like that all day - I keep getting verklempt, this is such an EVENT. I haven't felt like this since Live Aid. I'm loving every bit of it and I will be buying that DVD in November. :nod:

but I feel this show was disappointing, Didnt live up to the hype of "Live Aid" whatsoever (The numbers of those who are watching/listening was a much lower figure than the bloated several billion amount that was advertised, Hell "Live Aid" was broadcast on a bunch of stations here back in 1985, Not a single radio station in my area is carrying the "Live 8" shows.)...Guess in another 20 years there will be yet another show on this grand a scale put on by Mr.Geldof

Unfortunately he opted for Hey Jude. I would have preferred Let It Be Too.

Romy

[wondergirl9847]

I hate Hey Jude with the fire of a million suns!!!

But, George!! I'll catch the global feed, I guess.

GAH!! Why couldn't George have sung by himself?!

[gldstwmn]

Mariah's singing a nice little harmony on Hey Jude.

[Serrart]

Annie Lennox has all my respect. She belted out even on Hey Jude. Great lady.

Romy

[gldstwmn]

It just occured to me that maybe the reason the UK got a better lineup was due to the absence of the late Bill Graham here in the States. He helped to organize the talent for Live Aid in '85.
Sorry, I'm just feeling a little sentimental.

Oooh, okay, this explains all the white clothes, and Sir Paul's shout out to Edinburgh:

Crowd of 200,000 in Scotland urges poverty action
Sat Jul 2, 2005 12:57 PM ET

By Jeremy Lovell

EDINBURGH (Reuters) - A tide of some 200,000 people dressed in white streamed through Edinburgh on Saturday to demand that leaders of rich nations agree measures to attack global poverty at a summit near the Scottish capital next week.

As part of a day of pressure on the Group of Eight nations, including the Live 8 rock concerts, the marchers urged rich states to double aid to poor countries, especially in Africa. They also called for debt relief and trade reform.

The marchers, wearing the color of the Make Poverty History movement -- a coalition of charities, churches and other groups -- flooded the streets of the historic city for five hours to form a human version of the campaign's white band symbol.

"This has delivered a historic moment. Ordinary people have come and expressed clearly what they want," Matt Phillips of the Save the Children charity told Reuters. "There is no misunderstanding the message -- end poverty and end injustice."

Police and organizers estimated the number of demonstrators at 200,000, making the march one of the biggest in Scottish history.

Men, women and children from all corners of Europe flocked to Edinburgh to demand that the heads of the world's richest nations end the triple scourge of debt, disease and poverty.

"I am reassured that there are so many people who really care about what I care about," said teacher Caroline O'Neil from the county of Yorkshire. "The G8 should listen to what people are saying, not come out with empty words next week."

Under blue skies and a blazing sun, the event was opened by Cardinal Keith O'Brien, leader of Scotland's Roman Catholics, with a blessing from the Pope and a call on the G8 to take heed.

BONGO DRUMMERS

"Our voice today is a legitimate voice to our elected leaders on behalf of the millions who have no voice," he said.

Demonstrators held placards with slogans such as "Wipe Out Debt," "Trade Justice" and "People Before Profit." Bagpipers and bongo drummers provided an international mix of music.

The G8 leaders meet from next Wednesday at the luxury Gleneagles hotel and golf resort, 65 km (40 miles) northwest of Edinburgh, for a summit chaired by British Prime Minister Tony Blair who has put Africa at the top of the agenda.

Marchers said the G8 leaders had a unique chance to stop 30,000 children dying every day because of extreme poverty.

"I never ever march but this time I felt I had to," said William Bertram, 55, from Edinburgh.

"Poverty is a sin and it is wrong that so many have so little," he said. "I hope this march makes a difference next week."

The campaign wants the G8 to cancel poor countries' debts, boost aid to them by about $50 billion per year -- around half of it for Africa -- and knock down trade barriers which prevent African and other produce from getting to Western markets.

"We need more support and better support to agriculture so that we can produce food and feed ourselves," Mubanga Kasakula, a farmers' leader from Zambia, told reporters before the march.

The campaigners' message has won wide support in Britain, and is largely endorsed by Blair.

But some aid experts say African countries may struggle to absorb a sudden and massive increase in cash and that writing off debt could encourage irresponsible financial management. (Additional reporting by Andrew Gray)

Just wanted to say it was fun hanging out w/ everyone, watching marathon "tv" today. :)

I did do a load of laundry, I'm now putting together my solar path lights, and I'm gonna put clean sheets on my bed before I crash. So, not a completely wasted day...I don't usually slack off this much unless I'm hungover. :lol:

[dissention]

Not a single minute. :laugh:

[SteveMacD]

I want to see Bachman Turner Overdrive. I missed their set. I'm such a geezer. :lol:
I actually caught Randy Bachman's set. He did "Hey You," "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet," and "Takin' Care Of Business." I was surprised, though, as it was originally billed as the Bachman-Cummings band, but there was no Burton.

He's sick. Was holed up in his hotel room. :distress:

I actually had no intention of watching, but I was working today. I work in TV, so I basically sat and watched the London feed of their show, and the Philly feed of their show, and the Canadian show. I haven't read this entire thread, so sorry if I repeat anything.

There were some AMAZING performances. Standouts:

#1 - Madonna doing Music. Unbelievable. There's a reason why this woman is still as huge as she is. Stunning performance - she had 135,000 people in Hyde Park singing and dancing and going nuts!

Pink Floyd - may have been a cheesy concept, but man, they rocked.

George Michael surprise at the end of London.

Robbie Williams doing my two fave songs of his: Feel (I nearly died) and Angels. He was amazing. Sooooo hottt!

I love Will Smith doing Prince of BelAir. Hilarious. The entire audience knew every word!! :laugh:

U2 - Beautiful Day. Doves released. Enough said.

Black Eyed Peas - Let's get it star-r-r-ted.... LOVE this song.

Oh.... too many more to remember - going to go back and read this thread now... But I was really pleasantly surprised by how much it drew me in through the day.

But, sadly, I still don't think anything will change in terms of global poverty.

[dissention]

#1 - Madonna doing Music. Unbelievable. There's a reason why this woman is still as huge as she is. Stunning performance - she had 135,000 people in Hyde Park singing and dancing and going nuts!

Aw, I missed it. I bet she kicked ass, she always does.

Robbie Williams doing my two fave songs of his: Feel (I nearly died) and Angels. He was amazing. Sooooo hottt!

He should have hauled out Nicole Kidman and done Something Stupid.

Black Eyed Peas - Let's get it star-r-r-ted.... LOVE this song.

Grr. I <3 them. I hope they rerun some of these performances.

David Gilmour is seriously HAWT!!! What a freakin a** kickin outrageously great guitar player. He has great guitar face too. Sigh... I hate that MTV cut into their song.

Honestly, I found it very hard to watch much of this very long, very commercially interrupted broadcast. It was making my head hurt because it was cutting over here, there and everywhere way too much. Better if it would have been a mini-series and taken a little longer in between shots.

I tried to get my VCR going to tape PF and gave up because I didn't want to miss the performance. Turns out one of the menu settings was off. Hopefully the whole show will be rebroadcast on Emptyvee or EmptyveeH1. Now that I've figured out the VCR, I'd like to tape the whole thing so I can FFWD thru all the cra*. I'd imagine the DVD won't have any of that commercial cra* and will include full sets?! If so, then somebody's gonna make a lot of money because today's broadcast was sure a pain in the a** teaser.

David Gilmour is seriously HAWT!!! What a freakin a** kickin outrageously great guitar player.

Actually, even though, when he was younger, David was kinda hot, I thought Roger was kinda hot last night. I liked his bed-head hair and rolled up sleeves. What's wrong with me? LOL

Fantastic guitar player...one of the best. I'm listening to their set on the radio right now and taping it. :nod:

[SoundBoyBrad]

Since I was subjected to the ridiculously-pathetic MTV/VH1 "coverage" yesterday, I decided to check out AOL's page with ALL of the acts from LIVE 8. I was amazed at how organized it is and how I could find any artist's video performance from yesterday. However, I was a bit shocked that the ONLY group whose performances I couldn't pull up was Pink Floyd. It struck me as odd that they were the only ones whose performances I couldn't view. I'm sure it has to be MORE than just a coincedence... :o Has anyone else encountered this?? Does anyone else find this to be a bit odd??

Brad :)

[wondergirl9847]

They played the PF part on the radio this afternoon and talked to David Gilmour for a second. Lemme transcribe what he said:

Matt Pinfield:Originally, when you were approached about this, you were kinda shying away from doin' it, you didn't wanna do it the first time around, and they came back to you, correct?

David Gilmour: Yeah, I was pushed into it a little bit, kicking and screaming. Roger rang me up and said would I do it and I thought that it is a very good cause and I'd probably kick myself if I didn't do it, especially for my kids to be able to see something like this for once in their lives. Some of them are too young to have seen me before performing.

MP: Which is brilliant. How is your relationship with Roger right now? Is it gettin' better?

DG: Hey, we're getting on alright, you know, it's been very easy and relaxed during our rehearsals. It's like slipping on a comfy old pair of shoes that are far too unfashionable to wear anymore, but it's been pretty good.

MP: Do you think there's a future for Pink Floyd together as a band, for a future album?

DG: With this particular sort of regrouping, it's...no, I'm just very glad for us to have sort of a nice happy ending for us to be able to look back on. It's a one off.

AOL did an excellent job with the stream. I'm sure EMI, who bought the rights is probably hoping to cash in on Floyd's performance with the DVD and are holding it back to build interest.

Yes, they really did an excellent job. I was honestly amazed with it, given the huge scope of the project. And, yes, that does make sense about EMI. Thanks!! :thumbsup:
