Genisis first
Maddona last (didnt watch)
Pussy cat dolls ather Spinal tap (the fuunyest)
They cut off Metalica for some pointless talk (and they put on Linken fu(king park)

You can watch it on MSN, I tried, and it's horrible quality, so I haven't seen any of this =/

AHH but they were 'doing their bit' by using some solar power [/irony]

Meh, I still enjoyed watching the concerts.
But yeah Madonna ending the london show, not a good choice at all.
New York and London had the best stuff though, way better than rio and australia.

Yea i've been watching most of it cause I have nothing better to do at all.

Typical celebs lecturing us to boost their ego. I wonder how many of them flew in on a fuel-guzzling plane to play there?

Looking at the line-up it seems I didn't miss much?

you do relise that the people going to it make a bigger carbon footprint than the actual concert... so people going was stupid!!

Star Striker · 07-08-2007, 02:20 PM

Na, I didn't see it. I spent 6 hours playing football yesterday in the only warm/sunny day we have had for a week or two.

CantGetAWii · 07-08-2007, 06:28 PM

Yeah it was definitely decent.
Certain bands better than others but still.

just so you know they worked it all out before the concert (sure not exactly but close enough) and i dont know how they figured it out but the concerts as a whole were going to have no carbon footprint at all, guess they must have planted a shytload of trees lol

Live Aid > Live Earth

Oh and
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...701201_pf.html

Would take 100k trees planted to offset the effects of live earth.

considering everyone there was encouraged to plant a tree...if half of those people planted a tree- one tree youd off set it 10 fold. Pretty good chance that out of 2billion people at least 100,000 will plant a tree or change the way they do things. If your interested vagrant ill email you the paper im writing on it once im done?

Evidentally you didn't read the actual article.

And 2 BILLION people? Thats 1/3 of the population of the world...That number was just used as an estimate for who all will be able to watch the show on television. I highly doubt 100,000 people are going to go plant a tree.

oh i know, most of the set was made from recyeld parts, all of the lights where LED's (half the energy used) all the transport used by the celebs was run on bio-fuel.

100,000 people planting a tree or changing the carbon foot print ain't going to do JACK ALL!!

espciall if they are brits. because the UK only emits 2% of the global C02 anual levels.

Hello all
Live earth was a great concert. This whole concert is based on Global warming. This concert held more then 20 place all over the world. In London Show, Madonna ends the show. This was not so bad.

Based on global warming?...no way..I thought they were just giving us a free concert. They tricked us!

In New York show, the police ended the show. This was not so bad.

Live Earth's a hypocrit.
