I cried at every "Diana and Me" video clip...and ESPECIALLY at the end with her family home videos! It was some of the same reels of film they show at her exhibit at home. It was such an experience to recognize the grounds in the videos and photos of her childhood.

I only wish that Chris Deburgh (spelling?) were there to sing "Lady in Red" as it was said to be a fave of hers as well and it reminds me of her everytime...along with the song "SHE" by Elvis Costello. It makes me all teary-eyed again to think of her dancing with John Travolta that time when they first met...

I loved those Diana and me clips. I loved it when they showed the black woman (Audrey?) who was crying when she saw her clip on the screen.

Tivo cut off the end of Elton's set. I was hoping that George Michael would sing Don't Let The Sun Go Down On Me. How did Elton end his set?

It's nice to see a few other Ledgies watching this, it was quite good (although I had an overwhelming desire to want to STRANGLE the soundman who kept fiddling with the crowd clapping button!!!).Great isn't it, how all the oldies but goodies, manage to get the crowd going (well done Bryan Ferry and Rod Stewart!!) and I think P.Diddy (who I am not a fan of at all) was super, the way he mentioned Dianas name in his song alot.
I think on the whole, all of Britain, can be proud of both William and Harry for what theyv'e managed to achieve, their hearts are in the right place.( and they looked like they truly enjoyed themselves)

mich, have you heard anything about being able to buy the program book from the show? My cousin is a huge fan of Diana's and is looking for one. They don't show them on the official site for the concert but maybe you have heard something closer to the action. It was a great show!

Hey there..no, sorry, I haven't heard anything about the program book ( I did see a few being waved around in the crowd though). I'm probably not the right Ledgie to ask actually..Seteca is usaully better at this sort of thing. My guess would be to keep an eye out on Ebay.Glad you too enjoyed it. There's another one next week at Wembley (which btw, looked FANTASTIC, thanks to all our taxpayers money...) It's the environmental concert with Madonna and co..I forget who else, but that sounds good too.

Thanks! Wembley did look fantastic and the crowd seemed to really enjoy the show. I remember taping the entire LiveAid concert when it originally aired and the crowd was as memorable as the show itself. I still have those tapes even though they are on beta. I'll have to get those copied to something a little less outdated so i can watch them again.

well done you Mac!!! for managing to tape ALL of Liveaid...now that was a concert marathon and a half! (and probably the absolute best)..aahhh, all those pretty 80's bands

Def worth keeping.

You don't know what a chore that was! I had to set a tape in my recorder to record the first 4 hours, then drive 15 miles to my parents house and set theirs to tape the next 4 hours, eat food out of their refrigerator, throw in some of my laundry, drive back home to replace my tape for the next 4 hours and start the cycle again. My mom thought I was out of my mind! But I did get it all recorded, ate all their food and did my laundry.

I think this is all great - and I enjoyed the concert (on NBC). But why all this "fuss" at this exact time? I mean, I understand that it's ten years out; but didn't she die on August 31? Why are they having the concert now?

It would have been her 46th birthday.

Yesterday (july 1st) was her 46th birthday, thats what they were actually celebrating..not the anniversary of her death, so it was essentially a concert for her life.
..oops BM you just beat me to it
