Best moments of Live 8
 

For me:

Randy Bachman. Man, he looks great since the surgery, and sounds as good as ever. Though no Burton Cummings. I wonder what happened there. Thing I love about Bachman is that he walked away from the Guess Who back in the day because he didn't want to be, quoting Lindsey, a Rockcock. Yet, he still recorded some great music with BTO.

Gordon Lightfoot. Considering we almost lost him, it was especially good to see him today. Though he was obviously VERY nervous.

Neil Young doing "Four Strong Winds." That song usually does it for me anyway, but hearing Neil and his wife do it was almost too much (in a good way).

Pink Floyd. Need I say more?

Stg. Pepper's. Well, more specifically, the four French horn players dressed like the Beatles. Good stuff.

Pink Floyd - all of it!

Madonna - Music was my favorite

Annie Lennox - just her at the piano for "Why"

U2 opening with Sir Paul

Joss Stone - I want her band!

The Who - Roger nailing the wail!! Gave me goosebumps!

Velvet Revolver- rockin' the **** out of "Slither." I saw them last November and I've seen every TV performance of them doing that song. Nothing compared to today's performance. And did y'all notice that Duff was wearing a t-shirt with Queen Liz's face on it? :laugh:

Gonna cheat and copy over my other post from the other Live 8 thread:


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 with the reunion, but man, they rocked. Wish You Were Here was perfection.

George Michael - great 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 loved Will Smith doing Prince of BelAir. Hilarious. The entire audience knew every word!!

U2 - Beautiful Day. Doves released. Enough said.

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

Oh, and definitely Neil Young and his wife, Peggy, doing Four Strong Winds.

And Gordon Lightfoot. Legend.

NEIL WAS THERE!?

Oh, now I'm kicking my own ass for not watching. -______-

Annie Lennox sounded great esp on "Sweet Dreams" and Sarah McLachlan and Josh Groban sounded great on "Angel"

Chris

Pink Floyd-I almost fell off the sofa when they played Wish You Were Here. I wasn't expecting that one.

The Who-Daltrey's scream in Won't Get Fooled Again. I went crazy.

Randy Bachman-He sounded great. And I loved cowbell guy.

Deep Purple-Those old men kicked Highway Star. I haven't seen them for ages. And I do mean ages. :lol:

Madonna-What can you say? She's Ma-f*cking-donna. :laugh:

I missed Elton. Did anyone see him?

Lemme think...
 

Yep - closed the Toronto show... It's being repeated on CTV right now... I'm sure yuo can find it on the web somewhere... or wait for the DVD! :nod:

The Toronto stream is still up. I'm watching it now.

I about **** when I heard me some Pink Floyd. I loved that the best.

Madonna.... I would love to see her live.

DAve Matthews Band was good.

I watched off and on today, I didn't see all that I wanted to .

I think Madonna would be a great live show. I've never seen her live. Her tix were pretty expensive.
Pink Floyd. Do I sense a reunion tour?

Crap!
 

I'm so there if they do a reunion tour.

Wow. I'm watching the Philly replay and I guess I completely missed REM including Michael Stipe in Batman style face paint.

What! F*ck! Where did they play?
