Stoke_Gifford_Red Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I thought Killers (why did they only have one song) and Razorlight were very good, but by far the best was Robbie. Kaiser Chiefs also did very well in America, and managed to really get the crowd going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted July 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 Live 8 was to raise awareness about the "one death every 3mins" due to poverty; Not to be picky, but its one death every three seconds (thats why there was that clicking of fingers thing)And did you hear that Tessa Jowell nearly pulled the plug at 10pm last night, cos it had over run, and she didnt think that authorities could could if there was a "major incident" - there would have been a "major incident" if she had told them to stop!!!Dollymarie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These great 8 were elected on their policies by their people, I`m sure they don't need a load of pop stars telling them what to do;let them get on with it.

Dollymarie Posted July 3, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I think the point he was trying to make about 30,000 kids dying each day is that if there were that many children dying each day in this country then something would get done about it.Dollymarie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MaloneFM Posted July 3, 2005 Report Share Posted July 3, 2005 I think the real point he was trying to make was that it has been 20 years since Live Aid which was a worthy spontaneous event and it got him a CBE, a multi million quid book deal and worldwide recognition.This has so far got him another book deal and a television sreies with a book and dvd attached for a Nokia sponsored event planned well in advance without the aggro.Well done Bob.

spectator Posted July 4, 2005 Report Share Posted July 4, 2005 Just thought I would start a thread, so we can all have a chin wag about what we liked (and maybe disliked) about today.One thing I dislike so far is Johnathan Ross's Yellow suit!!I've turned down the brightness on my tv!Dollymarie←Hi Purgatory,I was in Paris last Saturday watching Maiden, luckily for us my son is a 17 year old drummer, and Nicko thinks he's brilliant, and he's become quite a mate of ours.VIP passes and everything, and 20 minutes in the dressing room afterwards just chatting generally..........top night.Thought Dream Theater were bloody good too !

They are without peers. If they played tennis, they would all be Roger Federer.Why the organisers asked Muse and The Cure to play Paris is anybody's guess. in 2005, who wants to see The Who and Pink Floyd?

spongebob Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Right in my opinion, as i was there. The best acts were in no order. Annie Lennox, Robbie Williams, Pink Floyd, Stereophonics, Razorlight, Youssou N'Dour (not so much Dido), U2 (though they were better in the sound check!) McCartney (always a class act), The Who I've probably forgotten someone. Oh yes Coldplay and Richard Ashcroft, Coldplay on their own was a bit flat, saw them in Bolton last night it was chuffing amazing.The Low points of Live 8, Velvet Revolver, dreadful, embarassing, Keane, just plain boring and piano player looked like he was having a seizure, Snow Patrol, just a very flat soul less performance from a flat and soul less band, Killers one song, but hey they did support U2 straight after, Mariah Carey, one word Diva (the word i wanted to type i cant put here its a family forum).All in all though a great day, the sound was off a few times but hey i cant complain.By the way the Front area or "golden ring" was for sponsors and their families not people who paid £200 malone.

Steve_C Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Thank God for different tastes!I like the Velvet Revolver and would of loved to of heard some harder edged music but that was hardly likely on that bill.I thought The Who were good as for Pink Floyd just amazing.As i thought i'd hate most of the day i really enjoyed it, watching from my tvof course.

My problem with velvet revolver is they are stuck in the 80's and also scott weilland is a mincing loser. Loved Brian Wilson at Berlin, muse were good in france and faithless were amazing in berlin(i think) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
