Is anyone watching LIVE 8 concert? BBC2 and BBC1 and BBC3

[RTKangaMummy]

It has just started

the singer is a lot better than axl, but their songs are a bit weak.

was hoping they'd do sweet child o mine.

and what is it with the nazi-esque symbolism with these groups?

The crowd seems kinda stunned after that set....

mmm i did in deed earlybird also noticed the little ear ring which i havent noticed before..i dont think anyway but pregnancy brain is addled..lol

Did you see John McEnroe swaying to the music at the side of the stage? He had on a "statement hat" too!

how old do you reckon annie lennox is. face and voice have aged well anyway.

also are scissor sisters american or british? (showing ignorance of non-indie music now)

Side issue,

Did you know Debbie Harry turned 60 this week?

Think Annie is getting close to 50. And Scissor Sisters are American

did you see annie lennox talking? i thought she was so excellent when she had her chat with wozza in the box.

i also think it's criminal that so few of the artists are saying anything even vaguely political...ms dynamite was brilliant on this i thought (had a much stronger voice than i thought she did live!)

the drummer is grahame garden's son [goddies as was]

sophable - weren't they all briefed not to bash the politicians as it is those very people whose support they're seeking? Maybe that's why.

Easy - 60? I am really surprised, I thought that she was younger than that

Annie Lennox born 1954, so 51.

goodies!

not bashing,,,i get that it would be counterproductive...but saying something to rouse people off their bums and get them to text/sign up online/go to edinburgh you know?

how does sting never age????????

hmb - whicdh drummer?

tantric sex i believe

Nemo, it must be the tantric sex

The nore I watch this show, and the various broadcasts, I am in awe of how well organised this event is. I know they only announced it about a month ago, but they must have been planning it for many months.

Scissor sisters

think its the who after sting then robbie
