Live 8 as it happens....

Sir Paul Mc Cartney and U2 - Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club

twas pretty good, a bit flat though

Lets see if U2 can lift the crowd a bit.

moshpit77 · 02-07-2005 1:11pm

they seem to be lifting them now with vertigo!

moshpit77 · 02-07-2005 1:13pm

"GIVE IS WHAT WE WANT, GIVE US WHAT WE FU<KIN WANT!"

Fair play Bono

endac1 · 02-07-2005 1:13pm

The crowd look incredibly dull.
Looks like that ban on alcohol really had an effect.
sound is pretty crap too.

Creamy Goodness · 02-07-2005 1:15pm

just have the tv on listening to it and there seems to be a lot of microphone feedback.

fair play to them though as each act only has 15 minutes

moshpit77 · 02-07-2005 1:17pm

In fairness, its not Wembley Stadium... Hyde Park is a lot more wide open so it's hard to create and atmosphere to rival Wembley. I can see them getting livelier as the day goes on thoug, it's early yet

besty · 02-07-2005 1:18pm

Jesus this crowd is sh1t compared to Croker last week. I suppose its not the point though. Good little speech by Bono too. Its a pity they only get the 3 songs..

endac1 · 02-07-2005 1:19pm

I suppose they will get more into it but jeez.
it's u2 and Paul McCartney... what more do you need?

Aquos76 · 02-07-2005 1:20pm

Its hard to see how this crowd are going to get going at all today. Looks like the may end up regreting the alcohol banning

Aquos76 · 02-07-2005 1:21pm

Come on Bono. Get off and leave on coldplay

shacko · 02-07-2005 1:25pm

tHOUGHT SGT. PEPPERS'S WAS VERY FLAT.PICKED IT UP WITH BEAUTIFUL DAY. BUT THERE GONNA REGRET THE ALCHOL BAN.

Creamy Goodness · 02-07-2005 1:26pm

Turn Off The ****ing Caps Lock.

Slunk · 02-07-2005 1:29pm

Network two have gone to Berlin, looks alot better than the london gig on BBC

besty · 02-07-2005 1:30pm

This should be good

Third_Echelon · 02-07-2005 1:33pm

Best part of the day yet though has to be Jonathan Ross' comment about bono and bob geldof. He was commenting on the construction of the stage etc:

"Bono and Bob, I'm sure they're handy with a spanner and know their way around scaoffoling...being Irish and all"

the pure genius that is Mr.Woss...

JimboPope · 02-07-2005 1:34pm

Coldplay just tried some improvisation, "I like it, I like it....", couldnt quite pull it off.

besty · 02-07-2005 1:39pm

yea, was a bit dodgy. this bittersweet symphony isnt bad tho.

howya jimbo

Kazaanova · 02-07-2005 1:41pm

Anyone know any video coverage on the internet? I don't want to miss Placebo in Paris.

Aquos76 · 02-07-2005 1:41pm

Good speech by Chris there

Astro1996 · 02-07-2005 1:43pm

Bittersweet symphony was brilliant!!!:D:D

besty · 02-07-2005 1:45pm

looks like coldplay will pull it out of the bag a bit with "fix you" - great song

Aquos76 · 02-07-2005 1:47pm

Excellent set there by Coldplay.

did you hear chris martin's comment on BBC that he was thinking of his dinner while he was playing - smooth chris, really smooth

Basq · 02-07-2005 1:56pm

Anyone know of somewhere to listen to the gig? Not watch it streaming... just the sound streaming.

Have you ever seen Pete Doherty look any different?

moshpit77 · 02-07-2005 2:12pm

I thought he looked sober actually.. Elton gave him a kiss on ther lips at the end!

Does anybody else think Jonathan Ross is the star of the show so far? Very funny

I despise Little Britain, I saw Gervais's video last night, it was pretty funny, but I don't think most people got it. That Make Povery History ad he was parodying, I've only ever seen it on CNBC inbetween Conan. Do the regular stations ever play it?

Slunk · 02-07-2005 2:26pm

I only seen the ad once or twice on mtv. You'd think it would have been played more.

besty · 02-07-2005 2:27pm

dido sounds terrible

Astro1996 · 02-07-2005 2:27pm

Feck sake, will somebody wake the crowd up...:rolleyes:

Dido's looking dam fine
