I'm posting this to see how many of you watched this, and what your opinions of it were.

Personnally, I thought it was unbelievable, it was baffling to see all of the people that were in attendance, expecially in London, Berlin, Philly, and Barrie.  I was a little dissappointed because living in Canada they mostly showed the Canadian concert, which although it was good, it was nothing compared to the British one, which I think by far was the best.  Luckily they did show most of the best stuff from Britain including my favourite act which was hands down the reuniting of Pink Floyd, as well as the Who, U2, Coldplay, and Paul McCartney.

By the way the site where you can add your name to the list which I last heard had over 25 million names is www.live8live.com  (sorry i don't know how to hyperlink it).

Yea, it was awsome. Since I live in US like many others, we only got to watch mostly the show from Phily and Britain. and I dont recal seeing one from Japan, Rissia or Italy. which was interesting, and the only one i saw from Berlin, was Green Day. But My parents made me go take a shower so I didn't really see the last quarter or so. But all in all, it was awsome.

It was awesome!! I saw the entire thing yesterday. I too was impressed by the massive turnouts all around the world. I was planning on going to Philly, but when I heard the expected outcome, I thought that there would be no way I could see anything, even though I could have heard the music.

I was stuck in an airport waiting for my ever delayed flight and only caught bits and pieces of it when I went to eat meals


From what I saw, it looked fantastic and I hope the message behind it rings loud for the G8 leaders (although there are other ways to help end poverty in addition to simply giving money).

Such as actually going over to Africa and helping out. A friend of mine from college went over and is currently still there helping out.

Not only that but nations can forgive debt (which they've started), subsidize infrastructure construction, eliminate agricultural subsidies, and break down trade barriers.
