Live 8

[Pulse]

Anyone watching or have friends/family who are there? Been pretty good so far, can't wait for the Pink Floyd reunion...

Highlight so far: Bill gates! :eek:

[Doppelgofer]

yeah i'm half watching it....been alright

stereophonics are on at the minute

[mortiz]

When do Pink Floyd play?

[Doppelgofer]

they play tonight

[Kangy]

Yeah, I'm not really in support of Live 8 that much because I don't really agree with the solution that they're proposing, but it'll happen regardless, so I may as well watch it :)

Not bad so far, I enjoyed Sir Elton John and Pete Doherty - Children of the Revolution quite a bit!

[StardogChampion]

You can stream it here too: http://www.aol.co.uk/

AOL good for something...

[KagePrototype]

Moved.

[SimonomiS]

I slept in. :( Missed Paul McCartney dueting with Bono, U2, Bill Gates, Elton John. (Correct me if I'm wrong, I think thats who I've missed)

Going to watch the repeat at 7pm. :D

[Pulse]

Green Day playing at Berlin Live 8 right now!

[KoreBolteR]

my dad was talking to the killers in london 6 months ago for an hour in a hotel.

he told me on the phone that he was talking to them in a chip shop a few nights ago in Cardiff...

what are the chances of that?? LOL

[Hectic Glenn]

I think the crowds a bit dead

But i really enjoyed U2, coldplay, stereophonics, REM, and can't wait for Keane, Snow Patrol, The Killers and Razorlight. This seriously owns, live 8 is a damn good idea. Oh and Ricky Gervais is cracking me up as usual.

'Been on the phone to bush and Blair and they've quadrupled aid, go home everyone and take litter with you!'

[Kangy]

I didn't think Gervais was funny at all. He was doing a bit of a "drunk uncle at Christmas" thing, very sad.

[Murray_H]

Well Muse rocked Paris, shame they got moved out of London, they would have brought the place to life

[TheAntipop]

Pink Floyd are going to be awesome later. Wish You Were Here, Breathe, Comfortably Numb and some other TBC song, I can't wait. ;D

Stop teasing us ;(

[StardogChampion]

When exactly do Pink Floyd come on?

[Polaris]

I seen only U2 in London (Bono Rocks !) but I cant seen Pink Floyd :(

[Hectic Glenn]

Wow green day were amazing in Berlin, The killers, snow patrol and razorlight soon. I left the room for Ms Dynamite and Black eyed peas. Oh and Bob Geldoff himself was really good. Can't wait for it to get dark.

[Dr. Freeman]

:(
i wanna see Pink Floyd but i don't think we will get to for the Canadian show.

[Dalamari]

When do Pink Floyd play in London?

[Pulse]

Why the hell is Snoop Dogg on stage?

Oh man this sucks...

[TheAntipop]

When exactly do Pink Floyd come on?

7:30-ish towards 8-ish, I think. I'm guessing anyway. To be safe, watch it from now, although you have to watch alot of shit first, which is why I'm recording from this point on. ;D

Almost 8 and they're still not on yet. The Killers are on after Snow Patrol. Floyd must be near the very end with Paul McCartney.

[dream431ca]

WOOHOO!! Deep Purple Rocks LIVE!!!!

There the Best Rock band I've heard LIVE since ACDC came to Canada in 2003.

[TheAntipop]

Almost 8 and they're still not on yet. The Killers are on after Snow Patrol. Floyd must be near the very end with Paul McCartney.

Yeah, they are on like, second or thrid from last. I have no idea when the show ends, so I was taking a guess at 8-ish.

We have a timetable printed off downstairs, but thats all over the place. If the band that are playing at the moment are The Killers, as you say, then this timetable is f.ucked. It says they were on about 4-ish, yet they are on stage now? I'd like to know a confirmed time for Pink Floyd so I can go and watch rather then keep running up and downstairs to see if they are on. >:{ Ah well, its recording.

EDIT: And I must say, the crowd are the most boring crowd I have seen at a festival or on TV.

[jimbo118]

i thought keane were good, the last song in particurlar, 'bedshaped', looking forward to snow patrol too, some bands aren't really me cup of tea, pete doherty, could anyone actually hear him?:hmph:

the crowd seem a bit flat too but alot of the songs are just meh, not exactly up-tempo or anything.
oh well, btw 1.5 million at the philidelphia concert....:eek:

[Doppelgofer]

i hear floyd are on around midnight

[TheAntipop]

i hear floyd are on around midnight

I hear they are getting pushed back, too. Although I heard 10-ish. Either way, I best change the tapes later.

[Hectic Glenn]

i hear floyd are on around midnight
It will have finished by then i reckon, or be near to finishing if it overuns which is likely. They'll be on soon im pretty sure.

[StardogChampion]

Did you all see Velvet Revolver? They just blew the stage away. I don't have their album but I'm a fan of the Stone Temple Pilots & Guns N' Roses.

Weiland's interview at the end was pretty funny with the 500BC thing, although I hate him because he's a wife beater.

[Pulse]

Floyd on any minute now...

[Crushenator 500]

They're on next, cant wait!! :D:D:D:D

[Murray_H]

He may be a nonce (:p), but Pete Townsend is good on the guitar!

[CrazyHarij]

****, I missed pink floyd but the who was pretty good.

[StardogChampion]

****, I missed pink floyd but the who was pretty good.

[CrazyHarij]

Wha? here the who played according to the guy who talked, and they just changed to keith urban in philadelphia. :O

[TheAntipop]

What the hell was with the opening camera? I want to see Floyd's whole set, that includes them walking on stage. All I got to bloody see was the camera EVER SO SLOWLY move over the crowd and get to stage just as Breathe came on. Man, I was actually shouting at the TV ''GET TO THE ****ING STAGE YOU ****ING IDIOT'' That was silly, but who cares, Floyd is on, and they are kicking the ass. ;D ;D ;D

[Adidajs]

Pink Floyd is rocking my world. that was sweetness.

the Cure, in paris. oh yes.

[SimonomiS]

****ing awesome...

[Pulse]

Beautiful, just beautiful :D

[Crushenator 500]

Wha? here the who played according to the guy who talked, and they just changed to keith urban in philadelphia. :O
They were straight after that guy, whoever he was


AND THEY WERE ****ING AWESOME!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Stole the show imo

[CrazyHarij]

Yeah, they were just on swedish television, just awesome and seeing all the people in the crowd following the song, like the swedish commenting guy said "we just got a glimpse of music history".

[oldagerocker]

I didnt see the cure ;(
pink floyd absolutely ****ing rawked soo much.
I hate the arrogance Paul Mccartney has to put himself after them, they compleltly stole the show.

[Deemo]

im so mad i missed it :(

anyone record it or something?

[Murray_H]

AOL will have footage of the concerts (in each location) up for ages

[StardogChampion]

I didnt see the cure ;(
pink floyd absolutely ****ing rawked soo much.

Yeah McCartney's an idiot.

He should stick to his ballads, his rock songs are mediocre at best.

[Pulse]

Naaaaaah naaaaaaaaah naaaaaaaaah nah nah nah naaaaaaaaaaaaaaah :D

[Doppelgofer]

i wanted floyd to carry on playing all night...i felt all fuzzy and warm inside

[Crushenator 500]

I've got a feeling they're gonna make a new album... or at least go on tour again, did you see the looks they gave each other on stage? :)

I agree with you though, i wish they'de just have kept playing all night

[mortiz]

crap, I missed Pink Floyd (was at a friends party). I need to know two things 1) What did they play and 2) where can I get a stream of their performance.

[Crushenator 500]

1) wish you were here, breathe, comfortably numb, money

2) ???

[mortiz]

1) wish you were here, breathe, comfortably numb, money

2) ???

ok cool, pretty good songs. Still looking for that stream though!

[Crushenator 500]

I know exactly what you meant, but I have no idea where there are any

EDIT: arrrr why did you have to edit!! :E

[Hectic Glenn]

I don't mind pink floyd too much, just not a fan cept for brick in the wall which they didn't play. I just think they shouldn't have been near the end like that cos they were pretty quiet and too all the energy out the end of the show. And how can you say that about SIR paul, all his songs are excellent, and he always ends because hes the best at it. Great show overall though. See you lot in 20 years time?

[ray_MAN]

Wow, they were probally the best of the show. I gave up dinner to watch this. Well worth it. I really hope they tour.

[Deemo]

im giving away my left nut if pink floyd tours :D

[mortiz]

im giving away my left nut if pink floyd tours :D

It's possible though unlikely that they will, Dave Gilmour said that they didn't intend this to be the start of a new era for Pink Floyd, just a re-union for a good cause.

[SimonomiS]

When I get to the bottom I go back to the top of the slide...

:D Didn't expect Sir Paul to do that one.

[Adidajs]

i watched the thing on aol.com. i guess everyone else on their tv. 320kb/s quality. freaking sweet. it was nice being able to quickly switch between cities. they must have had assloads of bandwidth for that thing.

[Dr. Freeman]

i got to watch Pink Floyd as well :D
awesome performance and i also hope they tour and maybe work on a new album even tho its not likely.

[EC]

I just downloaded and watched Pink Floyd. I swear to God, I felt like I was in another world.

Here's to hoping for a tour or an album. :cheers:

[mortiz]

I just downloaded and watched Pink Floyd. I swear to God, I felt like I was in another world.

Nevermind, I'll just watch the concert again.

[StardogChampion]

The Pink Floyd performance is on all your friendly neighbourhood bittorrent websites.

[AIDisabled]

Oh yes, I could've done with Pink Floyd for an hour more instead of Pauly and the others parading on stage.

Have you heard that Dave's coming out with a solo album?

[Dalamari]

Omfg, I saw Pink Floyd live and I was freaking out, they do their stuff live better now than Led Zeppelin could do their stuff back in the 70's, a really amazing show. I wish I could say the same for The Who :(

[AIDisabled]

I wish I could say the same for The Who :(

I thought The Who still played better than every band before them on that day, and would've been the best if not for Pink Floyd.
