I know it's not chemical related, but it was such a massive event it needs to be mentioned. I spent my entire day watching it, some of the performances were amazing!! The stops were well and truly pulled out in some of the acts. Highlights for me were:
U2 & Paul McCartney performing Sgt. Pepper :o
Coldplay & Richard Ashcroft performing Bittersweet Symphony 8)
Peter Kay refusing to leave the stage X-D
Pink Floyd :D
The planning made me laugh - Snoop Dog on live on national TV at 6pm? What were they thinking!?

I didnt watch everything but what i saw was pretty cool...i would have loved to see the bittersweet symphony thing !!! I tought Madonna was pretty cool to and The Killers. It made me cry when they showed that picture of a little girl who was almost dying and than 20 years later she was there , on stage , just finished her study , looking beautifull and healthy.

I wish I could've seen it.
I'll have to catch bits of it online, those bits you mentioned sound like cool highlights.
I'll never forget waking up at 4am to watch Live Aid all those years ago...

yeah, i caught pink floyd, they were amazing!! shame they were oinly on for 15 mins, i can smell a reunion tour a coming.
hahaha, yeh snoop on at 6.15pm on bbc1 was wel funny - he must have 'motherfuckered' at least 15 times in one tune X-D as jonathon ross said afterwards 'sometimes u have a dog and u let it off its leash and thats what happened - a lot of motherlovin' going on there' - classic!

i missed most of live 8 due to me being at work, bummer!! i got home to catch the who. so glad they didn't do 'my generation', that tune is full of irony these days!!
i got to see pink floyd too, which was the only thing i was really intrested in seeing. i thought they were pretty tight last night!! really enjoyed there set.
shame that live 8 has not had the impact (in terms of music) on me that the original live aid did 20 years ago. i can remember exactly where i was when status quo opened live aid with rockin all over the world.
as for bob geldof, what can be said about that man?? he truely understands the power of music and has a passion and belief in putting the worlds wrongs to right. he is a modern day saint. i just hope the momentum he has generated keeps rolling and doesn't let the political machine fuck things up.

Have to agree there sneaker, some people are criticising Bob Geldof but how many other people can bring together so many popular bands for the sole purpose of raising awareness of world poverty?? I say if someone has to force the message home to mainly 'unhelpful' world leaders, then he's probably the best man to do it!!
Now I hear George Bush is approaching the G8 Summit meeting with the 'best interests of the US' at heart. He might as well stay at home then.

He's a tumor on California politics - I don't like him and I didn't vote to have him replace a sitting governor (as badly as the former governor fucked up.) I don't like his history, I don't like his stance on many political issues, I don't like his degrading comments toward women/gays/Native American Indians/immigrants. Californians have a short memory just like the rest of the U.S.. Arnie supported Kenneth Lay (Enron) when California was getting raped in the ass during the "energy crisis". Among other things that are bitchworthy, there are a lot - I could go on, but I won't. ;)
Sorry, but California got what was coming to them when they thought it would be cool to elect an action hero as their governor.
