Nope.

I want to see the London concert. Paul is gonna be there! Does anybody know what channel, what time it will be aired?

Sorry - I'm watching the Canadian coverage which started at 7 a.m. this morning and runs all day. They're showing all venues - including London. Bruce Cockburn is performing now. Ackroyd and Tom Green just did a pretty good intro. Boy is Dan ever getting a belly on him! :eek:

Raising awareness lol. Why don't they just give the people food? Christ. :lol:

Oh, no.

K wait, Dan Akroyd? *turns on*

yep. parts of it. I just wish I knew what time Green Day was preforming.....

They already performed.

When does Pink Floyd come on!

They're the main band I want to see...When? I need to know :)

I am shocked MTV is showing this, albeit they're only show the crappy mainstream acts. Isn't this cutting into reality time?

Why doesn't MTV devote weekends to special stuff anymore anyways? Back in the day, I remember when weekends would be "Top 100 Videos Of All Time" countdowns or special concerts, etc... Now a Saturday on MTV is no different than a Tuesday.

They already performed.
DANG! When?

DANG! When?

A short while before you asked. ABC is airing a condensed version of the entire day from 8-10.

EDIT: I caught the Pink Floyd performance and they without a doubt in my mind stole the entire show. As a friend of mine said, they were ****ing mind-blowing.

I'm thinking about picking up "Live Aid" on DVD, but I've heard that some things were cut out. If anybody knows what is and what isn't on the set, could they please inform me??

Even if it's heavily edited, $30 for a 4 disc set isn't bad at all, especially considering the money is still for the cause.

London Live 8 performances rated
The BBC's Ian Youngs gives his verdicts on the numerous performances which graced the stage at the Live 8 concert in London's Hyde Park.

Sir Paul McCartney and U2: One of the most super of supergroups of all time, and Sergeant Pepper was a suitable opening, even if the song has dated a bit. 9/10 for wow factor.

U2: They still have so much passion that it was impossible not to get swept up in their blockbuster anthems. They had the park singing and clapping and set the tone for the day. 10/10

Ms Dynamite performed a version of Redemption Song


Coldplay: Powerful and popular. The peak of their rousing set came when Richard Ashcroft came on for a rendition of Bittersweet Symphony. But they are not ready take over U2's mantle as biggest band in world quite yet. 8/10

Sir Elton John: Posing and pouting at every opportunity, he was another to prove that the veterans can still outperform younger rivals. He wheeled out a couple of classics before being joined by Pete Doherty who, with his gothic get-up and dazed look, resembled Adam Ant at the first Live Aid. 10/10 for Elton, 5/10 for Pete.

Dido/Youssou N'Dour: Youssou stole the show from Dido during their spot together. She may have the hits, but he has more charisma and a more haunting voice. Their duet of 7 Seconds was warmly received. 7/10

Stereophonics: : They may be too cool to show much emotion, but Stereophonics rock in a Rod Stewart kind of way. The crowd responded better to things with some oomph and they went down well. 7/10

Keane 'packed a punch'


REM: It was arms in the air time as heart-wrenching song Everybody Hurts had the crowd spellbound. Michael Stipe's eerie blue face paint and freaky dancing sent a collective tingle through the whole crowd. 9/10

Ms Dynamite: She buried any suspicions of tokenism with an emotional rendition of Redemption Song. 6/10

Keane: They may be nice boys with nice songs, but Keane can sure belt 'em out. They are about as rock 'n' roll as you can be without a guitarist, and imposed themselves with a big presence. 8/10

Travis: Fran Healy's affable bonhomie and catchy hits caught the mood, and they did not even make it rain when they sang Why Does It Always Rain on Me? The brave version of Staying Alive must have been for a bet - but kind of worked. 8/10

Bob Geldof: Despite promising not to play, he could not resist. He suddenly reverted back to straggly, straining old rock star - but the crowd was generous. 5/10

Live 8 organiser Bob Geldof performed


Annie Lennox: Despite having been out of the spotlight for a while, she was another veteran to show the young stars a thing or two. Starting with a poignant version of Why?, she ended with a storming performance of Eurythmics classic Sweet Dreams. 8/10

UB40: Their appearance seemed like an attempt to represent multi-cultural Britain, but was a good soundtrack for a trip to the toilet or burger stall. 6/10

Snoop Dogg: He raised the temperature with a racy rendition of his hip-hop hits and got one of the most energetic responses of the concert so far. Fans were waving their hands in the air like they just didn't care. 9/10

Razorlight: This band grabbed the chance to shine on a world stage with their upbeat rock tunes and singer Johnny Borrell's theatrical antics. He jumped off the stage and ripped his shirt off - he has learnt the lessons of 1985. 9/10

Madonna: She's not the queen of pop for nothing. During Music, she got everyone clapping in unison the way Freddie Mercury did in 1985. This will be remembered as one of the Live 8 moments, with the crowd desperate to worship her regal presence. 10/10

Snow Patrol: Another band with good songs - but little of the power or passion this crowd really needed. 7/10


Madonna's performance was given top marks


The Killers: This white-suited band went to so much trouble for just one song. But the Vegas electro-pop kings made good use of their time. 7/10

Joss Stone: She took to the stage barefoot and sang with a confidence that belies her age. Her trademark vocals soared, and she lifted the crowd as it entered the seventh hour of the concert. 8/10

Scissor Sisters: They put on a fun spectacle and evoked the spirit of the '80s with their unashamedly spangly pop. They spoilt it a little by playing a new song at the end - it was good, but we just wanted the hits. 8/10

Velvet Revolver: They kept the metal fans happy, but let's face it, they're weren't many of those. The rest of the crowd were rather bemused by the high-voltage heavy rock and amount of leather. 6/10

Sting: Another old pro proved to be a crowd-pleaser. He rallied fans with favourites like Every Breath You Take. 9/10


Mariah Carey: She may have thought she was bringing some glamour to the show with her micro-dress and personal water carrier, but it just came across as ego. As such, she got short shrift from the crowd. 5/10

Robbie Williams joined the crowd during his rendition of Angels

Robbie Williams: He had the fans in the palm of his hand, making a triumphant return to the stage with a set that had everyone joining in. The crowd would not have minded if he had stayed on all night. 10/10

The Who: Classic bombastic brilliance from a band who refuse to slow down. With Roger Daltrey flinging his microphone around and Pete Townshend wrestling his guitar, they were on top form. 9/10

Pink Floyd: If there was one historic musical moment, this was it - the reconciliation of Dave Gilmour and Roger Waters. They looked like they had never been away and the sublime magnificence of their songs swept across the audience. 10/10

Sir Paul McCartney: He opened and closed the show, the biggest name on a day of legends. And he lived up to his billing, belting out a couple of rockier Beatles classics before settling down at the piano for The Long and Winding Road and the finale, Hey Jude. 10/10

I pretty much agree completely with the critic. Although, IMO, Mariah Carey gets a 0/10. She's such a talented singer that she shouldn't have to resort to the crappy music she's been putting out lately, and the slutty clothes she wears. She's not even all that attractive.

Overall there were some great great performances. I just wish MTV would have showed less of their VJs and more of the music instead of cutting away so much. I also don't understand why VH1 couldn't have showed the London feed and MTV could have shown the Philadelphia feed, while MTV2 could have shown other feeds as well.

U2 & Paul McCartney, The Killers, Coldplay, and Madonna were my faves.

Sorry - I'm watching the Canadian coverage which started at 7 a.m. this morning and runs all day. They're showing all venues - including London. Bruce Cockburn is performing now. Ackroyd and Tom Green just did a pretty good intro. Boy is Dan ever getting a belly on him! :eek:Bruce Cockburn is one of the best songwriters in the world. Is he playing acoustic or electric? I saw him live playing acoustic in 1988.

The announcers were annoying as heck :lookaroun

Maroon 5 and Paul McCartney ruled everyone :D

Judging by audience and critical response, it seems Pink Floyd and Madonna had the best performances. I've very happy since I'm a huge fan of both acts.

I'm thinking about picking up "Live Aid" on DVD, but I've heard that some things were cut out. If anybody knows what is and what isn't on the set, could they please inform me??

I saw some of Live 8 on VH-1 and it was BOR-ing. There were a couple of good performances from Tokyo and Philadelphia, but I don't get Kanye West. What was up with the all-female string section (a string section - in hip-hop?? :confused: ) with black rectangles painted on across their eyes? I actually started to miss the dude in the bear suit! :p

Did anyone claim otherwise? Where are you people getting these silly accusations from?

I'd like to know what CSN did that any other act couldn't? Madonna for that matter as well.

Just redundant and pathetic....


No less redundant than Madge dismissing any form of popular music she doesn't like, making fun of other celelbrities for being to old, and offering her opinion about everything (Sinead O'Connor ripping up the Pope's picture, Ben Affleck and Jennifer Lopez) becasue she thinks everyone should know it, and no less pathetic than using Catholic artifacts and the Catholic lexicon ("Like A [insert Catholic word here]") to sell records to kids who didn't know St. Benedict from Pope Benedict XV (who canonized Joan of Arc) and who probably thought John Ratzenberger (Cliff on "Cheers"), as opposed to Joseph Ratzinger, became Pope Benedict XVI. So -- THERE! :p

So -- THERE! :p

Madonna herself admitted to being a fan of Sinead in the early 90's, the mocking of the scandalous Pope incident on SNL was out of sympathy for Sinead's then backlash. Oh and can you blame her or anyone else for having an opinion of Ben Afflect and Jennifer Lopez? Who the hell didn't? And her use of religion isn't as stupid and wacky as when John Lennon claimed The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Since when? How do you defend that?

And her use of religion isn't as stupid and wacky as when John Lennon claimed The Beatles were more popular than Jesus. Since when? How do you defend that?When John Lennon made that statement in 1966, he was merely stating the fact of his own country, that his own band was oddly popular than the central figure of Western Civilization, which he found rather ironic. He thought the popularity of his band was a sign of the diminishing influence of Christianity. He wasn't "bragging" about it, he was merely stating what he thought was going on. After all, 1966 was the year that Time magazine asked the question, "Is God Dead?" (Meaning, was traditional language about God dead?)

It's a habit I picked up from people who diss Crosby, Stills and Nash at every opportunity. A lot of CSN haters love dnace music, especially Madge the Terrible, so this is my revenge. Nothing personal, Britperson. :p

where do you see CSN bashing at every opportunity? I see none. I am sick of hearing how much dance music is crap. I'm sorry but I prefer upbeat, uptempo music that puts me in a good mood. Folk music ISN'T that type of music. I keep hearing how much people like Madonna and Janet Jackson suck, and then the same people carry on and on about how Bob Dylan's music is so great. I don't see it, there is nothing as "appealing" about Bob's brand of music that a nice frivolous dance artist has.

Before this thread goes even farther off topic, I'd like to ask everyone to try and keep the discussion on Live 8 and not let this dissolve into another "this person sucks" thread. Thanks.

Members can state if they think a performer sucks, correct? I assume you're referring to personal attacks against members?

well, I think it's because everytime the name Madonna comes up, one member refuses to turn the other cheek and keeps adding his "Madonna sucks because Like A Virgin was crap" comments. Even though he doesn't realize that many people can turn around and list a lot of the acts he champions as "crap" too.

Give me Madonna or any upbeat electronic dance artist over the self-obsessed singer-songwriter folk tunes that are supposedly so great. I like the sounds of keyboards, so sue me.

pardon me, but where on earth did I say I hated rock music? I was talking about folk and country-rock music that Steve always says Madonna (and co.) sucks compared to.

If you judge rock music by the "loudness" of it, then the majority of club music sounds like Pantera compared to the majority of acoustic-based folk singers.

:whistle: :whistle: ....we are the world.... :whistle: :whistle:


Can't we all just get along??

check out some Orange Factory sometime. Their collaboration with Yoko Ono, Open Your Box, basically sounds like a metal song it rocks so hard and is so heavy.

Some of you in here fail to see you can be a Madonna fan and still be a rock & roll fan as well. It's called eclectic taste. :rolleyes:

very true. It reminds me years ago when I looked at a MTV board and people were getting on a girl because she liked both Shania Twain and Nine Inch Nails, I didn't know there was a law forbidding being able to like both

Some of you in here fail to see you can be a Madonna fan and still be a rock & roll fan as well. It's called eclectic taste. :rolleyes:Actually, I do like much of Madonna's music. It can't be blazing guitar solos from Dimebag and Pantera ALL the time (RIP Dime).

The acts I enjoyed the most were Bruce Cockburn, Deep Purple, Motley Crue, Gordon Lightfoot and of course the finale with Neil Young and friends singing the classic Keep On Rockin' in the Free World.

For those of you who were lucky enough to see Live Aid.... how do you think Live 8 compares??


Well, the orignal Live Aid was ridiculous. Hey, dude, I was there. I had to sit through lousy perfromances from Duran Duran and the Hooters, the stadium was an uncomfortable place to be in, Bob Dylan's perfromance with Keith Richards and Ron Wood was completely inaudible, and Phil Collins was really gettign on my nerves. I went to the bathroom and missed Teddy Pendergrass. I had to do the Wave with all the other folks in the stadium. Many of my favorite acts were in London - including Status Quo.

On the other hand, I liked the Carlos Santana/Pat Metheny jam.

From what I heard - I heard bits of Live 8 on the radio and saw bits on the telly - the music at Live 8 was better. Will Smith was a gas, and Pink Floyd shone, but again - what's up with Kanye West and his stoo- pid theatrics?

I'd say Live Aid, despite everything, was better because a) of the Jimmy Page-Robert Plant reunion and b) they introduced Cherry Coke there. :lol:

Jul 2, 2005, 14:16 GMT

ondon - Former Beatle Paul McCartney Saturday kicked of the central Live 8 concert in Londons Hyde Park where more than 200,000 people gathered under overcast skies to support the call on world leaders to "Make Poverty History."

McCartney and U2 frontman Bono gave a rendition of "Sergeant Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band" at the start of the star-studded show where Madonna, Elton John, Pink Floyd and Robbie Williams were due to perform.

The worldwide Live 8 concert series, organised by Irish rock star Bob Geldof, is billed as the "biggest rock-and pop-event in music history."

Thousands had queued outside the gates of Hyde Park overnight to gain a prime place on the lawns, with the park being closed to the public for the first time in its history.

"We dont want your money, we want you", flashed a banner above the performing stage.

As the concert was getting under way, more than 120,000 people gathered in Edinburgh, the Scottish capital, to join a march against world poverty.

Britain's Chancellor of the Exchequer, Gordon Brown, was due to address a rally at the Edinburgh event.

The head of Britain's Roman Catholics, Cardinal Cormac Murphy- OConnor, who is also taking part, said: "I'm putting my feet where my mouth is. My main hope is that governments will listen to the people."

In an open letter to the G8 leaders published in the Times newspaper Saturday Live 8 organisers said: "We are gathering for you the largest mandate for action in history."

MTV, VH1 To Rebroadcast Live 8 Footage



By Barry A. Jeckell, N.Y.



With stinging criticism still fresh of their coverage of last weekend's worldwide Live 8 concerts, MTV and VH1 have confirmed plans to rebroadcast 10 hours of performances tomorrow (July 9). VH1 will offer five hours of programming beginning at 10 a.m. ET, with MTV taking over at 3 p.m. ET.

"We're in a constant and candid dialogue with our audience," MTVN Music Group President Van Toffler says. "In the wake of our coverage last Saturday, our viewers have resoundingly told us online they want to see full performances from their favorite artists."

While each network will tailor the artists offered to fit their respective audience demographic, there will be some overlap. Both will show performances by U2, Pink Floyd, Orchestra Baobab, Coldplay and Paul McCartney. VH1 will exclusively air footage of Dave Matthews Band, Rob Thomas, Sting and Maroon 5, while MTV has dibs on performances by Green Day, Linkin Park and Jay Z, the Killers and Kanye West.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reports that Live 8 organizer Bob Geldof and U2 lead singer Bono met this morning with French president Jacques Chirac at the beginning of the final day of Scotland's G8 summit to discuss increasing efforts to end poverty in Africa.

Chirac reportedly praised the musician/activists for their efforts and conceded that substantially increased international monetary aid was necessary to alleviate the suffering of the continent's people.

Tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT, MTV will air a half-hour news special, "Live 8: Next Steps," which will profile the concerts and the G8 summit. The channel will re-air the special tomorrow at 8 p.m. ET/PT, following its rebroadcast of Live 8 highlights.

Some of you in here fail to see you can be a Madonna fan and still be a rock & roll fan as well. It's called eclectic taste. :rolleyes:
OH MY ****ING GOD. I hate people who think you're a t0TAl p0ZzerRR just because you like rock and something besides rock. [/diva]

In regards to inappropriate language (song lyrics) that aired as part of the “Live 8: A World Concert Event” on Saturday, July 2nd in the 8:00 – 10:00 PM ET/PT time period, please see below ABC's official statement:



ABC producers successfully edited out numerous instances of inappropriate language from the Live 8 performances before they were aired on the ABC Television Network. Unfortunately, one inappropriate phrase sung by one performer was initially missed and made it into the East Coast network feed. It was subsequently edited out of the West Coast feed.

The Canadian national network CTV covered Live 8 live for 13 hours and then it was followed by a 5 hour highlight show without any censorship and the sky didn't fall.
