Yeah thats very strange. When the guy said "Look busy, its the Boss", I was convinced Bruce Springsteen was going to come on. Shame, Dancing in the Dark can really get a crowd moving.

Slunk · 02-07-2005 3:28pm

BTW what station are you all watching on because I think the sound quality issues are only on BBC, sound seems ok on Network two

deckie27 · 02-07-2005 3:31pm

Is there aq guide to who's on when
I'm recording in movie maker. but leaving on all day could be a bit of a pain.
as in its very hard to work with a 20-30 gig file.

I'm wathcing on BBC, haven't noticed any bad sound quality

Kazaanova · 02-07-2005 3:31pm

I'm watching on BBC because I think its slightly ahead and I don't think RTE have Johnno Ross. The sound seems fine to me on BBC2.

YES, YES YES!!

Snoop Dogg is gonna perform Nothin' But a G Thang. AT LIVE 8!! I hate all rap except for Snoop and Dre, and even if you hate them too, it doesnt get better than Snoop singing G Thang for charity.

Slunk · 02-07-2005 3:50pm

Ricky Gervais coming up shortly introducing rem, Razorlight after snoop too.

besty · 02-07-2005 3:52pm

imagine ricky did the david brent dance on the stage. in front of 5 billion people or whatever it is!hahaha, we can all hope and pray for it...

Kazaanova · 02-07-2005 3:54pm

If Ricky does his Brent dance, at Live8, in front of 5 billion people, he'll never ever be able to escape from that character, even as hard as he trys now, it will be a billion times worst.

yea thats true, but it would be too amazing!can't see it happening though

ferdi · 02-07-2005 4:04pm

green day are disgracing themselves before my very own eyes, bj armstrong totally off with the vocals

. the berlin set up looks tiny

Samson · 02-07-2005 4:04pm

Watching Green Day performing in Berlin at present, the Germans look like they're having fun anyway.

endac1 · 02-07-2005 4:05pm

oh my god he's gonna do it!!!

moshpit77 · 02-07-2005 4:05pm

He did the dance!

Kazaanova · 02-07-2005 4:07pm

Good luck to him ever being seen as another character, or even just Ricky Gervais.

That aid thing was hilarious though.

besty · 02-07-2005 4:09pm

it was very half hearted from him though. ah well, fair balls to him

REM are looking and sounding good

Dinner · 02-07-2005 4:09pm

Someone tell the REM guy he has something on his face.

ferdi · 02-07-2005 4:11pm

green day just recovered with a stirring harmonica solo!

I can't blame him, hes such a comic genius, it must be annoying constantly being asked to do one of the more dumbed down jokes off the show. And the dance was so funny, because of the context and how it was used, and the reaction of people, and the great dance before it etc.

Astro1996 · 02-07-2005 4:18pm

THEY F***:mad:ING CUT REM OFF

besty · 02-07-2005 4:19pm

what the hell were they thinking going to an interview during man on the moon - what a quality song!

endac1 · 02-07-2005 4:20pm

Finally the hyde park crowd gets up off their asses.
Woo, man on the moon!

Kazaanova · 02-07-2005 4:21pm

Cant wait to see Neil Young in Toronto. Anyone know the set list for the other countrys like Paris, Philly and Toronto? Theres some really good acts playing.

Jeez - Missing half of 'man on the moon' to interview two schoolkids who drifted backstage - Somebody should be fired for that cock-up.

BLITZ_Molloy · 02-07-2005 4:38pm

My god, what a ****e crowd. I don't think alcohol would fix it either. They should have streamed the few thousand people who get into the front enclosure to determine if they gave a **** or not. They probably all won their VIP tickets in Heat magazine.

The organisers should eject all the people who are sitting down and texting their mothers while REM perform.. christ.

Anyway, the other gigs look great.

Kazaanova · 02-07-2005 4:41pm

Muse should be playing in London.

endac1 · 02-07-2005 4:42pm

hey I didn't know Muse were playing in Paris.
They should've shown more.
plus they just cut off Paul McC in mid-sentence.

Kazaanova · 02-07-2005 4:44pm

Well they had to cut Paul McC off, we wouldnt want to miss the all important Keane.

gary the great · 02-07-2005 4:50pm

muse are now in paris, placebo are on around 7 i think, only playing 2 songs, one of which is with the cure(probaly boys dont cry)
