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!

And it will have the same effect as all these concerts have. NILL. A week later and noone will even remember most of it. Sorry, but that's what always happens. Remember "Do they know it's Christmas?" 20 years later and they are still corrupt, starving and killing each other.

How absolutely amazzzzzz would that be?! Floyd and Zeppelin playing a show together in 2007. hahahahaha.

Think of all the acts that will be on the road at that time anyways: Stevie, The Police, Genesis, Van Halen, The Killers, Elton John, Justin Timberlake, XTina Aguilera. Basically everyone you could imagine is touring this year, so a giant benefit concert would be coming at just the right time for a lot of big acts. I hope this all goes down!

It'd be a flashback to 1979, thats for sure.

Ryan the Police were an absolute bore last night.

Even more of a possibility of the Mac showing up for one of these gigs.

More artists added to Al Gore's "Live Earth" Concerts?

According to Jim Welte from MP3.com, climate change awareness shows reportedly will include the METALLICA, ROLLING STONES , and possibly a SPINAL TAP reunion.

Al Gore's plans to hold seven star-studded Live Earth concerts on seven continents on 7/7/07 is to raise awareness about global warming.

ROGER WATERS, SNOOP DOGG, PHARRELL, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS, BLACK EYED PEAS, FALL OUT BOY, AKON, JOHN LEGEND, KELLY CLARKSON, JOHN MAYER, THE FOO FIGHTERS, AFI, and SHERYL CROW have all been announced as performers, although there is no indication of who will be playing at which shows.

Concerts are set to be held in Sydney, Australia; Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; Shanghai, China; London, England; Kyoto, Japan; Johannesburg, South Africa; and a US city that has yet to be determined.

Also on the bill are LENNY KRAVITZ, BON JOVI, PAOLO NUTINI, MELISSA ETHERIDGE, DAMIEN RICE, CORINNE BAILEY RAE, DURAN DURAN, SNOW PATROL, ENRIQUE IGLESIAS, MANA, KEANE, KORN, FAITH HILL, TIM MCGRAW, and BLOC PARTY.

In addition, Fox News reported today that THE POLICE will be headlining the US show.

---------------------------------

I'm sure this event will be televised, but STILL what a very weak lineup even with the reported adding of the Rolling Stones & Roger Waters.

interview with Zep bassist John Paul Jones where he made no mention of LZ at all, but he has some many musical ventures lined up I doubt he would participate in the supposed/rumored Led Zeppelin reunion (Besides, Page & Plant had a falling out from some Grammy award that LZ won, and from my knowledge that falling out has not been repaired as of this time.)

here's an interesting article that I saw this evening:

ROBERT PLANT Says That He And JIMMY PAGE Are Out Of Touch

According to Howie Edelson from Launch, ROBERT PLANT says that, although there's no bad blood between him and LED ZEPPELIN co-founder JIMMY PAGE, the two have fallen out of touch. Plant spoke to Britain's Mojo magazine, who asked him if the he and Page, who co-wrote most of the band's most popular material, are still in contact. Plant said, "No. I'd like to talk to him but I never do. Lives change. The unfortunate thing is that whenever John (Paul Jones), Jimmy and myself meet up, the points of reference are always about the past. If there wasn't any previous triumph then we probably wouldn't be in touch."

We asked Plant why he hasn't been gung-ho for a full scale Led Zeppelin reunion: "It's not that I've been obstructive. It's just that it meant what it meant when it meant it, and beyond that there was no story, and with John's (Bonham) passing and all that stuff, it was gone. There's no need for it."

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