I think it was intentional. Live 8 is a sequel to Live Aid.

I'm surprised Woodstock '94 wasn't listed as well, that was HUGE in 94 (let's not talk 99, which was a failure), that was when Green Day and Nine Inch Nails exploded in popularity, and Metallica, Chili Peppers and Aerosmith among others rocked the place. It was certainly era-defining much like Woodstock and Live Aid were IMO.

I would have liked to have been at The Monterrey Pop Festival!

Though Live Aid and Live 8 were good...I went with Woodstock since that was a Free Concert eventually.

And for Isle of Wight...The Who had a great performance that night.

I would have preferred Woodstock, because there was no pretense about it being for a good cause, Hendrix played there, and you could wander off when Blood, Sweat and Tears came on and not miss anything!

Plus, Sha Na Na were there.

Hey, I was at Live Aid too.
It was hot and we were on the grass on the field.
And the bathrooms flooded

but it was still fun.

Though wish some of the UK acts were in the US (like Elton).
Everyone had to do the wave at every concert/sport during that time.
Amazing how happy that made some people back then (like a Pet Rock)

I love your signature, btw. Agree with 100%.

Bruce Springsteen could have been the only American at the London show, in an otherwise British and Irish lineup, but he couldn't make it.

I was nine years old when Live Aid happened and many of my favorite musicians at the time were there so I pick that. Although Woodstock would have been great because of the freedom and the attitude of it all.

Another one I would have loved to attend was the Moscow Music Peace Festival in '89. Bon Jovi, Cinderella, Motley Crue, The Scorpions, Ozzy...total hard rock & hair metal heaven.
