Live 8
 

Sorry if i'm a bit thick!!! but was there a concert in Australia because i can't seem to find anything on it.

Watching it at the moment......all was going well until "smackhead" pete doherty came on!!!

Everyone else fantastic so far

No there wasn't (watching it in Perth on Fox 8) but I have to say I'm a bit concerned, Simon Le Bon looked strangly like Shakin' Stevens :scared:

Re: Live 8
 

ha ha thought he looked like an early fat elvis meself!!!! :scared:

Re: Live 8
 

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.

Actually thought U2 were brill - even though i'm not a big fan - and i did nearly fill up when they released the doves/white pidgeons!!!

if you want to add your name to the live 8 list go to www.live8live.com it's a list that will be shown to the G8 leaders.

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,

[QUOTE=Kevhaze]Same here i keep thinking that they'll like it and play a gig, I of course will miss it and be devastated :eek:

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 :D

Re: Live 8
 

I was there, how you can compare queen to Floyd is beyond me though, Floyd are different league :D

Re: Live 8
 

Actually i was thinking the same

Coz Queen are in a much higher league than floyd!!!

Didn't go to Knebworth but i did go to both nights at wembley in '86 WOW!!!
There's no-one to match Freddie!! :p
