Where are you watching Live 8?

Sammyjo

Hi all,

dont know if this is in the right place, but where are you all watching Live 8? im just wondering which bars would be good to watch it in (in dublin)?

whiskeyman

never thought if bars would have it on.
I'll just be staying at home watching it with mates with tins and pizza! (much cheaper!)

Most of the bands are crap aren't they? What's the point in watching it.

Some good ones.... obviously depends on your own personal taste.
But its more an event than anything else.
I'm was too young too remember Live Aid... so I'll be watching tomorrow.
Not everyday something like this happens.

kittenkiller

I'd imagine most large bars with a TV would have it on, no? Try Flannery's or
somewhere.

Sure I might flick over to it occasionally at my friends tomorrow, I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it.

drdre

i wonot be watchin it as theres not too many good bands performing:mad:

Pigman II

Don't think I'll watch it at all. Might just tape the whole thing and if anything interesing happens or bands get good reports I'll just ff to them.

It can't be as crap as Live Aid was. Hearing a few of the Live Aid bands on RTE2 tonight it's no wonder Led Zepplin won't allow their Live Aid set to be shown anywhere - the sound was terrible, no bass at all. Sounded worse than a clapped out 40 year old radio.

When is it on?

nedoo

Not going to bother watching it. It will be on in clip form for the next five years and with the U2 concerts (etc) I have had enough opinions from pop stars for a while. Having said that, after lodsa D & D tonight I will end up gazing at it till it knocks me out with boredom.

I was watching Die Toten Hosen play. Didn't even know they were playing but I just had the telly on and they came on between u2 and cold play.

How exactly can you watch it online, I went onto the live8live.com website but unless its due to my jobs crappy computer I'm just looking at a big picture of Bob Geldof

If anyone can post up the link of somewhere you can watch it live (if possible??) would make the next 6 hours of work go in that little more happily!!

Aww!! Lucky you! Do you know what they played? Maybe "Walkampf"?
They are my 2nd favourite band after Die Ärzte, and I couldn't see them!

gandalf

Watching it at home here at the moment, waiting for Pink Floyd to come on.

Missed The Toten Hosen but saw some of Green Day who were excellent !!! Are Rammstein playing the Berlin gig, if so I hope they show them !!!

flicking over to it every so often

the crowd could do with waking up a bit youd expect a bit more noise from 100K + plus people

g oto live8.com and sign your name if your lucky you might see it pop up on the screen on stage

samo

Cool thanks!

Was in a panic stuck listening to it with some dodgy english presenter on spin fm!!

scorpy

I'm watching it online via that annoying-as-all-hell aol site. they're streaming all of the big city concerts... but not the one in cornwall, where all the african musicians are playing! lucky I have satellite; I was watching mandela give a speech in cornwall a minute ago.

Aye. Last minute thing. Funny: about Africe, but no African's allowed to play!

Noticed that myself, sure they might be tired enough at this stage.

FX Meister
