Well folks, it's live8 (and has been for a while) and I'm wondering who's watching?
I have to say, the bands that I really want to see are still to come. I mean, I like U2, but they're not the best band around.

Well, I did too, but then I saw Greenday, and I can't wait for The Killers, Stereophonics, Velvet Revolver ect... They should be good!

Bob Geldof just reran the original film, from 20 years ago on the screen in London, of the reason for Live Aid - the picture froze on a young child who was clinging to life - he then brought the very same person onto stage - 24-year-old Birhan Woldu, one of the starving children featured in the original Live Aid concert who was helped thanks to money raised.... to point out that the power of the people is a force for change and Live Aid had worked.
And Live 8 can do the same.

Just to let the UK members know you can download the live Sgt. Pepper's track off iTunes. All the money from sales on this track will be donated to Live 8.
Search for the U2 page on iTunes and you will find it there.

I've recently taken to video taping things like Jools Holland and Jonathan Ross's music guests, then using sound studio and a Griffin iMic to turn the audio into AIFFs. Some of it I've burned onto CD for the wife's car, other stuff I've converted to Mp3 and shoved on my iPod.
The quality's OK - better than most good boots, and you get some gems - Beck and Jamiroquai were superb on Later, so were the Magic Numbers, and James Brown and Joss Stone were very good on the Ross show yesterday. I'm also amassing a good collection of live Coldplay stuff (and I don't normally like them!). I'm video taping Live 8, too, and look forward to getting some of it onto the Pod. Stereophonics seemed especially good, I thought. I'll have the UK Live 8 on CD in a few days, I wonder if any fellow podders will have any of the other concerts, though trading them would of course be entirely illegal..... and suggesting such a trade would be altogether too naughty for words.
