I know, how scary was that? :scared:
My immediate thought was Elvis then Shakin' Stevens came into play.
Think they should have stayed a happy memory, looked rather sad to me.

Re: Live 8
Not too bad so far but I don't think I will be able to stay up long enough to get through to the good bands - time to dig out the VCR.
I feel the need to set up a ticker at the tickerfactory - time till someone posts a "Where were you during the original live aid concert" thread, but I am not sure the tickers can work in minutes.
Cheers,
DagBoy

Re: Live 8
Mmm... saw Pink Floyd at Wembley Stadium some years ago. At one point they flew a ****ing great inflatable pig down a wire across the stadium which sported a great big pair of knackers so as to diferentiate it from the female pig which Roger Waters owned the copyright too. Great gig. Nearly as good as Queen at Knebworth
