I didn't see Snoop Dogg (would have changed channel when he was on anyway tho)... Was outside most of the day. :( But I saw the first hour and the last hour, and I wrote my name on the Live 8 list. Let's all hope G8 take the hint...

That song is pretty old. 1960's or 70's I think. My dad was a teenager when the album came out. But anyway the song is Won't Get Fooled Again by The Who.

It's a pretty new sounding song for being so old. I rather like Emery tho. Were they on the show at all? If not they should've been. Along with Skillet and Pillar. And Demon Hunter.

Didn't get to watch it, wasn't aired on public TV... But I did hear the concert live from London's Capital FM 95.8 via Internet. I heard it was a great concert, which has lots of great, great bands performing on the stage. :)

i only saw the start of it and i regret not having the time 2 finish watching it...
i personally dont think live 8 would influnce the g8 conference, those dumb politicians never get the msg until they get kicked outta their thrones of power....it really is sad, but wat makes it worse is the fact of actually knowing 1st hand of wat it is like 2 survive in one of the world's poorest nations :(
