I'MMA LET YOU FINISH
Hello. Hello.
Is this thing on?
Don't eat the brown acid.
That is all.
BBC Coverage of Live 8
I recommend the webcast from the Eden Project, the true spirit of Live 8 in my opinion is there.
Can anyone tell me why they are not raising money from concert goers and viewers? WTF reason would they have to not raise a ton of dough for these poor countries? It makes no sense at ALL.
England need 5 runs to beat Australia.
You wanna actually go to something like that, you get there at least 12 hours early.
BTW, spot anyone wandering through the crowd with a burlap bag full of thai sticks for sale? That was always my favorite part...
England now need 3 runs to win! GO ON ENGLAND!
Hey, that Eden Project feed's great! Thanx for the tip!

Thanx for the cricket updates, Moonbotica... they don't appear on ESPN's screen crawlers as yet.
Damn hippies.
LIVE 8
Checkin' it all out. For me, London's the best (music wise). Berlin's not bad either.
This is the first chance I had to get on today and Huffington Post says it was Rove that outted Plume.
What's the skinny?

I love how Music Television cuts the songs so they can have their VJ's waste time and show more ads.
yeah, really. there are several concerts and we have 5000 cable channels and MTV shows about 2 minutes of music per hour.
glad for the internet feeds.
OT:
I’m looking for some help with my idea for a spy thriller:
Setup: Back in the 70’s the US installs puppet in Middle East country Iram, but puppet-status is so obvious and irritating to populace that a popular uprising means he must be flown out by US or be ripped to bits. Students in ME country take over embassy and grab hostages in order to force the return the puppet (the Sham of Iram) for trial. Party out of power in the US works illegal backroom deal to avoid release of hostages before presidential election, and manage to detain release of hostages till their new president is inaugurated. I thought I’d make the release the very day of inauguration – too heavy-handed?
Anyway, that’s just the setup. Years later, one of the hostage-taker dealmakers rises to power in Iram. Some low-level folks remember the guy, and want action taken. But some high-level guys also remember the guy, and know that he’s got the goods on them for fixing an election, AND having hostages held longer than usual, as well as making deal with other nation when not in power. Three very bad things to come out. And maybe the newly-elected Iramian dealmaker, who understand the game, gets the message across that he WILL ensure that the deal comes out if he’s touched by the US, and suggests the story of his involvement be officially denied by the US. Meanwhile, publicly he will not say either way.
Then I read the paper today, where it says that US investigators have concluded that Ahmadinejad is not the guy in the photo, but the investigation continues, and I think… yeah, it fits.
Before the story broke in this country, I heard a BBC journalist say he is certain he interviewed Ahmadinejad DURING the hostage crisis. He is 100% he’s the same guy.
Me not waste precious 2.4GHz bandwidth on gravy-tars and bad faux-punk bands whom I'm too old to know. Me smash!

I see Snoop D D being interviewed. If you remember one of his first videos, you might like this graffito which appeared at my college: "Jesus doesn't love you--he just likes your doggy style."

Meantime, a patriotic conservative blog called Rising Sun totally DESTROYS the bogus "chickenhawk" argument.
------
Warblogger enlists in Army, wins argument
PASSAIC, NJ (Rooters) — Jordan Kulundzic, MD, won an argument about the Iraq war today by enlisting in the US Army.
Kulundzic, 34, a resident gastroenterologist at Passiac Beth Israel Hospital, also maintains the conservative blog "I’m All Right" (imallright.blogspot.com).
Yesterday, that blog became the site of a heated political debate when a commenter, identified only the screen name “ihatebush209”, challenged Kulundzic’s support for the US-led invasion of Iraq.
"I wrote this really long essay about why I support the war in Iraq," Kulundzic said. "I thought I had covered every angle, including the need to be absolutely sure that Saddam had no WMD’s, the moral case for liberating the Iraqi people, and the long-term strategic importance of spreading democracy throughout the volatile Middle East."
“But then ihatebush209 just tore my arguments to shreds,” he said.
ihatebush209’s comment read, "Hey, mister Keyboard Kommando, if you like the war so much, why don’t you go and fight it, you little chickenhawk? Buc-buc-buc bu'CAW!!!"
Kulundzic remembers feeling dejected at seeing his efforts so easily dismissed.
"I felt terrible," he said. "That guy had me beat, fair and square. All my well-researched opinions on Iraq were worthless so long as I wasn’t personally fighting there. And those fake chicken noises made his counter-argument all the more effective."
But later that evening, Kulundzic recalls, he realized how he could win the debate. The next day, he enlisted in the Army, announcing his decision on his blog.
"ihatebush209 posted another comment almost immediately," Kulundzic said. “He says that now, since I’ve joined the Army, he realizes I was right about Iraq all along. My own individual decision to enlist completely undermined his entire argument against the war."
Kulundzic’s relatives, friends, and colleagues have all expressed shock at his sudden career change. His wife, Kulundzic says, is upset not only that he will be heading off to war, but also that, on his much lower military salary, the couple will have to put their house up for sale and pull their two children out of private school.
Kulundzic shrugs off her concerns.
“Honestly, it was an easy decision to make,” he said. “Proving myself to Internet trolls is worth any price. And as soon as I step off the plane in Baghdad and head out on patrol, my support for the war will finally become valid."

now some young rockers from quebec are playing north of toronto. good. the slam was that a bunch of old fuckers were not exactly 'representative.'
Moab--check out Editor and Publisher. They've got the scoop. There's a link at Buzzflash to catch it.
Coco Mbassi is curretly peforming at the Eden Project.
Coco Mbassi is a singer and songwriter from Cameroon in West Africa who made her name as a backing vocalist with leading African and French pop artists based in Paris, including Salif Keita, Oumou Sangare, Touré Kunda, Manu Dibango and Ray Lema.
Wow, one hawk putting his money where his mouth is. No wonder it made the news.
"ihatebush209 posted another comment almost immediately," Kulundzic said. “He says that now, since I’ve joined the Army, he realizes I was right about Iraq all along. My own individual decision to enlist completely undermined his entire argument against the war."
if David Patterson joins the army and ''prepares'' to head for Iraq I guess that will demolish my arguments against the war 
Warblogger enlists in Army, wins argument
one down, 200,000 chickenhawks to go. btw, why hasn't Chickenhawk David Patterson enlisted? just another Yellow Republican?
Perhaps the idea of the free concert was to raise awareness and get the concertgoers to contribute to various charities and NGOs. Not a bad tactic, actually.
Loved Richard Ashcroft coming out to do "Bittersweet Symphony" with Coldplay.
My cell phone ring tone is "Bittersweet Symphony."

Uh David? The point isnt that you have to join to have your pro-war opinions validated it's that you you appear to be a hypocrite when you dont.
But your fable sure was cute.
David's idea of music is Toby Keith and Kidd Rock.

Kid Rock has a neck? I thought that was a mop handle wrapped in bacon and dipped in tobacco juice.
ihatebush209 posted another comment almost immediately," Kulundzic said. “He says that now, since I’ve joined the Army, he realizes I was right about Iraq all along. My own individual decision to enlist completely undermined his entire argument against the war."
Kulundzic is apparently patronizing Rush Limpdick's drug dealer.
maybe the FBI should hire Denny's waitresses.
Madonna just said "fuck!" And BBC One didn't bleep it!!
She's on stage with an actual Ethiopian famine victim from 20 years ago who just passed her agricultural exams.
Too much Kabbalah crap, but still.
ah, genocidal fantasies from avestus. typical.
I must switch over to watch A Ha in Berlin..
It's not often someone will willingly hang a racist label around their necks, but hey it happens.

Just switche back to the Eden Project ~ Peter Gabriel has just introduced Angelique Kidjo from Benin.
The music of African-born songstress Angelique Kidjo offers a great perspective, that the world is much smaller than we think.
" Avestus is inhuman."
I'll second that. But that is his goal - make a big enough mess that we notice and react.
Madonna actually looked good.
She was getting way TOO muscular for awhile. Drag queen area.
I'm not a fan of hers, but she was doing her part for AIDS before anyone else dared to.

Madonna's theatrics make me wanna puke. (Who wants fuckin' backup dancers. Jeebus.) All others on the London stage are solid MUSICIANS.
She belongs on the Philli stage, not London.
Avestus = "Powderfinger" from LGF, aka "Pablo," who has lately been trying to destroy the comments section at LGFWatch (by Halospamming, among other tactics). Betcha.
Avestus can't even spell "Ethiopian."
How pathetic is someone who needs to go that far for attention?
Hmm, Ethiopian jokes from the 80s. We're dealing with real cutting-edge thinking it seems.
Peter Gabriel's Live 8 Africa Calling was hastily organised after the faux pas of forgetting about including African musicians.

Reminds me of a Harlan Ellison account of a couple at whose house he used to go to parties to. The little nipper would show up in his pyjamas, announce "I HAVE A PEE-PEE!" and whip it out for confirmation. Ellison says he stopped going to aprites there when the kid pissed on his shoe.
Folks, I think we know who that kid grew up to be.

I've never agreed with Avestus, ever. Before I was a Scientologist I never agreed with Avestus. And when I started studying the history of Avestus, I understood more and more why I didn't believe in Avestus.
What do you call a moronic brownshirt fuck who jerks off to thoughts of mass genocide but is too big a motherfucking coward toget off his ass to fight the war he supports?

very disappointed in the sound. I never got closer than 3 1/2 blocks from the stage but it seemed pretty apparent they didn't put too much into the equipment. Whatever, cool.

You demean a noble bird, sir. Superchicken (and Fred) actually did occasionally risk wing and feather to save us all from evil! Unlike some we could mention.
But really, thanks for the pic. I haven't thought of Superchicken in a long time. In fact one of my talents used to be the ability to sing the whole superchicken theme song.
Viacom says "must...sell...more...ads.... show...less...music!"
All the jackass VJs keep talking about how there are all these great performances. Wouldn't know it from watching.
I remember Live Aid on MTV, and they showed all the performers, all the songs, with much less filler crap. And they still managed to get the message out.
Maybe they'll actually show three minutes of the Pink Floyd reunion set.
I guess the troll has been munching on the brown acid.

At least he knew the job was dangerous when he took it.
And at least he'd bring the bad guys "in alive and kickin'", unlike a certain "get 'em dead or alive unless I find something else to pay attention to" person I can think of.
No ads on BBC One -- there never are -- just the occasional rock-star interview, plus cut-ins from other concerts.
I ♥ the BBC.
"All the jackass VJs keep talking about how there are all these great performances. Wouldn't know it from watching."
Well this is a return to the spirit of Live Aid is it not? MTV did the same shit then.
Wow. Some very very bad news from Iraq...

"and now the dave mathews band, one of my favorite bands" says the VJ, then 3 secs of DMB playing, cut to commercial.

the US coverage sucks - only cable and tons of adverts - have these networks no soul?
My mother brought the Live Aid DVD, which was handy cause they didn't get to watch the American concert.

In 1973 I was in a really, really
awful rock band that for some reason
had a summer-long gig at a bar near
Fairleigh Dickinson. Wall to wall
crowds, even we were the worst band
ever.
We used to do "Smoke On the Water."
When we did, we had a guy go on
the dance floor and distribute
xerox copies of the lyrics with
the headline "Great Thoughts of
Western Man."
True story.

I'm feeling very hi-tech today. I've got the six video feeds running, maxing out my processor, graphics card, and broadband connection I presume, but it all seems to be stable. I was running S-video out to my TV, but the resolution is better on my digital monitor.
I was in Philly when the original Live-Aid happened, but the idea of spending all day in the sun with a bunch of drunken louts and unable to see anything anyway just wasn't that appealing. I watched it on TV with everyone else. Still ambivalent about it though.
David coverdale?

LOL
Meltdown in the 6th innning. Oh, well.
Ayub Ogada is currently performing at the Warm Temperate Biome at the Eden Project.
Kenyan pop music from the fifties onward has been dominated by guitar bands, playing variations either on the Zaïrean cavacha rhythm or the benga pop style which began with groups from the country's Luo peopl
(snip)
Ayub Ogada's 20-year career as a professional musician includes eight years spent in a Nairobi band, some time busking on the Northern Line and a tour with Peter Gabriel - not to mention his forays into the film business.
David's idea of music is Toby Keith and Kidd Rock.

How is Kid Rock a nazi? For that matter, how is he a redneck?

free concert
Who pays for clean-up?
steve--I knew someone who took guitar lessons and the first thing his teacher told hum was "You will be paying Smoke on the Water within an hour." Apparently you just walk your fingers up and down one chord.
How is Kid Rock a nazi? For that matter, how is he a redneck?
Did I miss something? Did he come out in favor of Bush or something? Cause
that would shock the living hell out of me.

Yeah, actually, he did.
Like his music, up to a point,
but he's a tool.
"Apparently you just walk your fingers up and down one chord."
2 strings actually. open, 3rd fret, 5th,open, 3rd fret, 5th, 7th then 5th
Repeat
Did I miss Deep Purple? It just seems to be crowd shots now in Toronto.
Where is the show in Philadelphia?
A write up at the AOL site on the ROME concert, and the biggest disconnect of LIVE 8 I saw...
"Tourists and locals alike are swarming the enormous field outside the ancient ruins of the Circus Maximus, where country stars Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are performing on the outdoor stage..."
Faith Hill? Tim McGraw? Country music? At the Circu Maximus? In Rome?
Steve Morse must love playing that song.
Like Yoyo Ma playing mary had a little lamb.
"Where is the show in Philadelphia?"
Art museum - where Rocky ran up the steps.
deep purple done.
res--On the long boulevard off the Art Museum and environs
Draco:
Exactly correct. One finger it is.
Res:
Lyle Lovett played Bushapalooza.
That TOTALLY bummed me out....
cnn.com, "The Most Trusted Name in Mews".
CNN (Certainly Not News) Might as well just go ahead and spell it "Nooz" and get it over with. 's about all it is. Truthfully, those who care what's going on, Right or Left, get their news online most days anyway, so who gives a shit?
philly - they have a stage in front of the art museum on the parkway.
I was watching Live Aid last night on the local PBS station and I had forgotten it was at JFK stadium here. In fact, I'd have completely forgotten that place. A friend of mine told me it was one of the worst stadiums he had ever stepped foot in.
Faith Hill? Tim McGraw? Country music? At the Circu Maximus? In Rome?
I've never agreed with Faith Hill and Tim McGraw at the Circus Maximus, ever. Before I was a Scientologist I never agreed with Faith Hill and Tim McGraw at the Circus Maximus. And when I started studying the history of Faith Hill and Tim McGraw at the Circus Maximus, I understood more and more why I didn't believe in Faith Hill and Tim McGraw at the Circus Maximus.
re: "Smoke on the Water"
I remember a friend of mine pointing out to me what the song was about, to wit:
"So, all that happens is, the concert hall burns down, and they had to find somewhere else to go."
"Pretty much."
kinda a Coleman Francis rock song.
Lyle Lovett played Bushapalooza.
GTFOOH!?!??!?!?!
You know, I went to about six of his shows w/one of the ex-Not-Misters back in the early '90s.
If I'd have known he was a wingnut he wouldn't have gotten a dime from either of us.
Deep Purple was great in Toronto.
I did see (sort of) a 4th of July show on the Ben Franklin Parkway in Philly (that's the boulevard leading up the Art Museum) some years ago- The Beach Boys were headlining (or whatever combination was calling itself that then), and I also recall Katrina and the Waves, which clarifies the year I suppose.
2 Poison albums? I only have one, but I do have 2 LA Guns cds. And ABBA's boxed set.
Moonbootica, your dad has excellent music taste!
Buzz Bomb, which song by DOA do you have on 12 inch? I have fondness for Spin Me Round, but the other songs, not so much. And their lead singer now looks like he and Anne Rice were separated at birth.
Is Springsteen showing up for any of these shows?
(It's cool that it's not in some big yucky stadium.)
Not goin to argue the point - JFK stadium was a dump.
Wdodge--What a showoff you are! Okay, so how would you transcribe Ornette Coleman's Free Jazz album for guitar?
Sorry to burst your "Kid Rock is not a Wingnut" bubble.

Bubble effectively burst... 
I only rarely buy major label music anyway. The RIAA/MPAA can lick my balls, and Jack Valenti is no "progressive". So I stick with indie label music that doesn't get overhyped. Emusic is awesome.
Might as well just go ahead and spell it "Nooz" and get it over with.,/i>
I seem to remember a Philip K. Dick story where the newsreaders wore clown outfits and makeup.
Kinda the same thing as we have now.
What time is Pink Floyd?
Ain't even watchin' until Floyd happens.
Actually, my favorite thing at
Live Aid was Black Sabbath.
I'll be seeing them in about 2 weeks.
res:
I'm told it was a pre-booking
accident.
Or so I'd like to believe.
Deep Purple was great in Toronto.
They didn't have Blackmore and Gillan, did they?
Oooh, the hot young chick is offering
to fuck Humphrey Bogart for an
exit visa.
And then Claude Rains.
She's Bulgarian.
Steve Simels ... I might believe it. I find it hard to believe that Lyle Lovett is an asshole (his fleeting marriage to ding-bat Julia Roberts aside).
Humphrey Bogart is thinking about it.
I was watching Live Aid last night on the local PBS station and I had forgotten it was at JFK stadium here. In fact, I'd have completely forgotten that place. A friend of mine told me it was one of the worst stadiums he had ever stepped foot in.
Sean
It was a classic one level oval (like the Rose Bowl?) with bleacher seating. It held 100,000 though.
TV didn't exist when it was built so just being there was a trip and better than listening to a game on the radio. Also it was the long time home of the Army Navy game.
.
Dammit. This thing was right in Philadelphia and free.
I've got to start paying attention more. Not even hot today. I guess I kind of just ignore Philadelphia. If this thing had been in Central Park it would have been lodged in the back of my mind for weeks.
Tinariwen is peforming now on the Arena Stage, the Eden Project.
The Touaregs are the nomadic Berber people of the southern Sahara desert and the renowned Touareg rockers Tinariwen, from the remote north east of Mali, are legendary throughout the region. Their music recalls the African blues of Ali Farka Toure, only edgier, meaner and deeper - roots rock rebels for real.
Deep purple had steve morse and david coverdale, --up thread.
I guarantee JFK has nothing on the old Foxboro Stadium here in Mass.
Eden Project all the way. MTV just went from three minutes of wittering between the VJs to two seconds of Joss Stone, then commercials. Fuck that.
(My friends at the BBC say that they were expecting a 'fuck' from Madonna, and are hoping to avoid a 'cunt' before the 9pm watershed.)
Humphrey Bogart is going to let her
husband win at roulette to piss
off Claude Rains.
Simels...WHy are you inside? It's nice today?
I had a picnic with friends on the Sheep Meadow yesterday after the bloodbath (at least until the lightening started). It was pretty nice.
Doozer--I tried to watch CNN 5 times today and never lasted more than a minute. The first 3 were the lost-and-found girl, then an ad, then a triple murder somewhere. I don't know where. I got more real information from Vanessa Williams.
Also it was the long time home of the Army Navy game.
yeah, he said that was pretty much at all it used for during the end of its run. The dead played the last concert there in 89 I believe.
200,000 people in Edinburgh Demonstrate against poverty.
What are the odds this gets as much attention as the missing white girl in Aruba.
Take the time to show your appreciation for all the free music by heading over and signing the "end poverty" petition that will be presented to the leaders at next week's G8 meeting.
Every bit helps.

steve morse and david coverdale
Oh well, I'm sure they played "Burn" and "Stormbringer" well. I saw the real deal about 20 years ago.
Why are MTV and VH1 simulcasting? They could at least split the feeds, no?
Also, MTV's presenters can fuck the fuck off.
Buzz Bomb, which song by DOA do you have on 12 inch? I have fondness for Spin Me Round, but the other songs, not so much.
Well, I'd have to dig it out of the basement, but I do believe that's the song. Their one big hit, it was, I think? I sometimes used to DJ at parties and got it for that, I think.
Eden Project all the way.
Yes! the Mali group on now is playing a fusion of all sorts of music, sounds so fuckin cool.
Yeah- the fact that Live-Aid was at JFK was the other reason for not going. I did get to see Bruce from the 2nd row on the field at the Vet in '85 though. It's a whole different experience.
Apparently, the big suspense is
whether or not Roger Waters slags
off the Bush administration or not.
Geldof told everybody to stay
on script, or so I heard.
Pardon the double negative.
Lordy, if Toby was here I'd
be so busted.......
" Wlodge--What a showoff you are! "
Yeah - I can sing superchicken's theme and play smoke on the water.
The true wise man knows his limits. And I have reached mine...
Now if you wanna know who sang "does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight"...
Scissor Sisters up next in London.
"Get jacked up on some cheap champagne..."
simels ...
What time is Pink Floyd?
linkin bizkit on in philly now.
I'm sure Waters will say whatever he likes. What's Geldof gonna do about it anyway, cut his mike?
Did Ricky Gervais do the David Brent Dance?
Link
The original live aid actually inspired a bit of rare and misplaced optimism in waters:
I'm not saying that the battle is won
But on Saturday night all those kids in the sun
Wrested technology's sword from the hand of the War Lords
Oh, oh, oh, the tide is turning
followed by morse code which meant:
Now the past is over but you are not alone Together we'll fight Sylvester Stallone We will not be dragged down in his South China Sea of macho bullshit and mediocrity
oh well
Now if you wanna know who sang "does your chewing gum lose its flavor on the bedpost overnight"...
Lonnie Donegan & his Skiffle Group.
oh the magic of google.
JFK: Only time I saw the Stones.
Good times.
Simels...WHy are you inside? It's nice today?
Woke up late, Res.....my big
plan today is to go to NYCD
(the best record store in the world)
and buy a used copy of the three
CD Hollies box set.
Then to go drinking with elitist
satanic commie buddies.
Then tomorrow seeing "Light in
the Piazza" with my parental unit.
I know, I can't figure that one
out either.
And you?
PS; No idea when Pink Floyd comes
on.
Mr. Oysterhead: yes he did!
And you?
Simels ... I took that practice BE yesterday and Thursday. Got the score. If I took that test tomorrow, I would JFK-Junior on it. Capiche? It was a fucking bloodbath.
So I am in the library.
A friend who hates musicals saw "Light" and loved it. I don't think it will be insufferable.
I think you missed Pink Floyd they were on earlier I believe.
Line Up at Hyde Park, London
But I could be wrong!
Waters even tried to emulate Geldof with his Wall concert in 1990. Unfortunately, it cost 8 million to put on and only raised 4 million.
the rest of the evening's line-up in London:
Velvet Revolver
The Killers
Sting
Mariah Carey (ugh)
Robbie Williams (ditto)
The Who (!)
Pink Floyd
Paul McCartney (reprise)
oooh, I love this song.
Yes! the Mali group on now is playing a fusion of all sorts of music, sounds so fuckin cool.
And their guitar player sounds like Dave Gilmour playing 'Another Brick In The Wall', curiously enough.
The little lady said she thought Floyd was at 445. I thought it was at 2:00 and walked home to see it. She laughed at me when it wasn't on.
I find it a tad hard to believe that they wouldn't save Floyd for last.
well i was wrong apologies for misinfomation!
I figure Pink Floyd will be on around 2200 GMT (or 6 pm EDT). That's assuming around 20 minutes for each band + filler.
is it just me, or is the London stream of the Scissor Sisters messing up and re-buffering everywhere?
It's OK on my end, but the sound is crap.
(Not to mention the lead singer's outfit and hair... hasn't he heard the '70s are over? I like the new song though... "everybody wants the same thing")
oddly enough, Toby Keith actually played in Philly...
i can't believe i've been watching this since 9am. if only U2 had played later in the day.
BTW, we've almost hit 1 billion Live 8 supporters, according to the London screen.
Canadian site just announced over 500,000 people have signed the online LIVE 8 "End Poverty Now" petition. Have you?
http://www.live8live.com/list/
Neil Young will close Canada's contribution to Live 8, in his first appearance on stage since he suffered a brain aneurysm in April.
Not sure of the time.
Pink Floyd still to come in London.
roxy music coming up in berlin
Neil is gonna play!?!?! I never saw that. MTV better show it b/c I can't stream jack shit for some reason.
Neil!
Here are some blogging comments from London site.
Three main points:
* American TV coverage sucks
* Can't wait for Pink Floyd
* Raising awareness does mean something.
Gordon Lighfoot just started on the Canadian stage.
Holy cow - Gordon Lightfoot in Toronto! I thought he died in a shipwreck in the 70's!
I wish they'd show some of the Canadian leg of it.
But, no, I guess since the Canadians told Chimpy that he could shove his war......
oddly enough, Toby Keith actually played in Philly...
Redneck Toby?
Or Keith Urban? I like Keith. An Australian country singer.
Deep Purple?
Who's singing lead?
some old guy w/ long grey hair
james |
Not Joe Lynn Turner....okay.
The Who just took the stage in London. Pink Floyd are next.
"I can't believe i've been watching this since 9am. if only U2 had played later in the day."
U2 had a concert in Vienna this evening, so they had to go on early. They supposedly played Sgt. Pepper's there too as part of their set.
