wait, they listed all the songs they are going to play? awesome? not really sure.
why do annie lennox, rem, and robbie williams get so much stage time? you’ve got to be shitting me.
Totally unrelated comment but….Happy Canada Day!
elton and pete doherty??? wtf?!?
How the heck did the Killers get picked for this? I’m not a Killers hater by any means (although they are a lackluster live band at best), but come on…
what? no scissor sisters & pink floyd doing that god awful SS cover together? they definitely didn’t think up enough combos.
although i do have to say, i’m really interested in seeing the coldplay/richard ashcroft performance.
Holy hell. I never thought I would look forward to seeing Elton perform… But two of his great classics and a T.rex cover. Nice.
Seriously, holmes. I want a snoop dogg/velvet revolver combo. perhaps covering the theme song from the movie “arthur”.
Woah, woah, woah! UB40′s playing ‘Red, Red Wine?’
The mind boggles!
Also: They have a song other than ‘Red, Red Wine?’
I agree with the “Bittersweet Symphony” assessment… that would be pretty interesting.
I can see MTV just airing reruns of “Room Raiders” for the entire block from Ms. Dynamite to UB40, though.
The general MTV watching audience says of the line-up:
“They’re like, pre-empting ‘Next’ for like, this?? Omigod, I’ve like, never, like, even like, heard of half of these, like, people! Like, who are they?”
Ya gotta admit this lineup is mostly has-beens: Brit-twits, self-loving wankers, and such.
Is Madonna singing “Music” because it’s got that line about “the bourgeoisie”?
And when I go to Hell, I imagine that they’ll be playing “Red Red Wine”. Definitely beats “We Built This City” for WORST. SONG. EVER.
Coldplay and John Ashcroft?!?! Awesome!
The above comment made me giggle
I wish the shwo was longer, Each band should have time to play at least 5 songs. Oh well, its better than nothing.
umm….grand finale: paul mccartney, mick jagger, and GEORGE MICHAEL? dunno. strikes me as odd, that. can totally see mick gettin’ all hip wiggly while stealing ‘faith’ from mr. michael. think they’ll finish with that? would crack me up. prob just rip off another dylan track though. ‘the times, they are a-changin’ anyone?
UB40 should do “1 in 10″, its like their best song ever. but red red wine ?
How come Keane gets to do only 2 songs bahh..Outrageous.But nice lineup tho
So, they start off with U2 and Paul McCartney doing Sgt Peppers. Pretty sweet.
Now off to Philadelphia live for…wait for it…
Will Smith?
This coverage is absolute garbage. Why bother?
Shut the fuck up John Norris so I can hear Travis play live. I hear them in teh background. There’s Fran! Oh, thanks, they cut to a compilation of performances that happened earlier. Coldplay and Richard Ashcroft! Wow! Thanks for the 20 seconds of it.
Fuck you and fuck Live 8. Fuck Africa. No one gives a shit about starving kids anyway.
It’s nice to see that everyone supports and cares for this great caus…oh, nevermind.
honeslty, this is the reason this concert is being held. for the ignorant morons like those posting on here. way to shit on the world we live in. if you had your precious internet taken from you, youd probably shit yourself and look for someones help in just that. grow up.
The aolmusic.com broadcast is suprisingly good, i’ve seen everyone i’ve wanted so far in full screen with no lag.
What about Pink Floyd
the most important reunion in rock history
Don’t hate,
but, yeah, that last “grand finale” doesn’t look promising.
Waiting for Floyd
Good source for the line up, thanks, but the songs listed are not completely accurate. Still, what a day!
I agree that the webcast is much better than expected.
Also waiting for Floyd…
The biggest reunion in rock history, that should be the finale and it should be WAY longer…at least they aren’t playing another brick in the wall (thank god!!) Wish you were here….I can’t wait!!
Does anyone know the name of the last song dido performed with that guy?
Tom – the song was “Seven Seconds”, and the guy was Yossou N’Dour.
Anyone, what is the name/artist of that recorded song they played while showing the short film of the starving kids? It was played just prior to Bob Geldof introducing the young girl that survived.
Also, Neil Young owns Canada –his Toronto set was fantastic.
I was gobsmacked by the Killers they were so good. It is amazing to see a good american rock n’ roll band, I really thought they were English.
Bravo
