[lynnifer]

Duran Duran (yes I'm old) and Red Hot Chili Peppers kicked arse! Loved it!

[XYNaPSE]

Aw.. I missed Duran Duran. :( I saw RHCP and they definately kicked some arse! Looking forward to seeing The Police.

[lynnifer]

Good to hear Roger Waters doing the Floyd thing too. They didn't really show another favourite of mine, Lenny Kravitz from South America!

[6string]

Lynnifer you think you're old. I'm looking for bands like Led Zep, or Tull. At least I recognize Pink Floyd!

[lynnifer]

LOL! You know you're old when Jethro Tull is playing two hours away from you in Ontario, Canada this summer! The Police were awesome.

[Obieone]

Music music music http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/musik/music-smiley-005.gif .............. the closest thing to perfect in life ...... my youngest LJ and I (she's 13 going on ... whateva ... ) just sat down and watched Roger Waters "together" .... flicking our lighters... hands in the air .......... never did that with my parental units :D .... completely cool event ...... I pride myself on the whole environmental concept but I did learn a thing or two watching the whole you know .......... thing :o .....

Ahem, young lady?? My class reunion is competing with The Doobie Brothers, Kansas and Foreigner and all 900 miles away in August. Now why haven't we poor folk south of your border seen much of Deric Ruttan? Keeping that dude to yourselves? He's like a white version of Darius from Hootie and the Blowfish....love acousitic guitars.

[Broknwing]

AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME concerts!!! I spent all day watching them...even skipped watching the Pepsi 400 to see Bon Jovi, Roger Waters & The Police....(ok, I switched channels during some of the other performers during the race...but even NASCAR is looking into alternative fuels, they already have gone fully unleaded this year...it's a start...)

[Lizbv]

I was trying to find out if Universal HD was going to re-broadcast. Do you know?

BTW, loved the Police!:mega:

[Broknwing]

I don't know but check out www.liveearth.org or www.liveearth.msn.com the msn site has streaming video

[6string]

Roger Waters without David Gilmore is Pink without Floyd.

[Le Type Français]

Todd ............ Madonna was ...... so .... kewl ...... did you catch it?????? Gawd ... what a bawd ..... :zombie: ...

Obieone

I've seen them via youtube. Very cool! :applaud:

[2jazzyjeff]

I'll have to wait for a repeat.. :(

Interesting news story. It wouldn't surprise me if it was true.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,288295,00.html

Madonna, who seems to be on top of all her many business endeavors, has actually invested about $2.7 million dollars in companies that are creating the destruction that Live Earth is trying to raise awareness about. She has invested in several companies named as the biggest corporate polluters in the world.
It's a cruel irony that Madonna's Ray of Light Foundation owns blocks of shares in companies that folks like Al Gore and Leonardo DiCaprio would like to see punished and rehabilitated for their attitudes toward global warming, climate control and basic pollution.

[Le Type Français]

Madonna hasn't always been a stranger to hypocrisy.

[Theophania]

i hope live earth gets people to really change.

[dcristo]

Live Earth rocked the Sneaky Sound System act at the Sydney Live Earth (http://www.sneaky-sound-system.com/sydney-live-earth-concert/) was a blast!

I can't wait to see them again, Connie Mitchell has such a presence on stage.
