Best Live 8 performance - your opinion

evansorchid	Date: July 3, 2005 @ 2:54 PM My vote goes to Green Day for their rendition of Queen's 'We Are The Champions'.
blueyes2112	Date: July 3, 2005 @ 4:31 PM Well now theres a good question, if you mean the UK gig well in my opinion I believe it may well be Paul McCartney and U2 covering well singing 'Sgt Peppers Lonley Hearts Club band' now that really was awesome!!! As for some of the other gigs, I intend to sit and watch them all on aol, as we speak i'm watching the Philly one!! ace!
lute	Date: July 3, 2005 @ 7:10 PM Pink Floyd stole the show IMO, but the Who were very good too. Cheers Phil

Dexter	Date: July 4, 2005 @ 6:25 AM I was at work but managed to watch most of the gig there Paul + U2 I thought were a let down. The 2 performances which really impressed me were Miss Dynamite and Snoop Dogg. Not usually my kind of music at all but they both ended up winning me over The Who were too TTFN.

MindSculpture	Date: July 4, 2005 @ 4:19 PM Yup - What an absolute dream to see the Floyd back where they belong. Also - Coldplay were good...even better when I went to see them later in the evening live in Glasgow
ChaosSurfer	Date: July 4, 2005 @ 5:26 PM I thought Coldplay with Richard Ashcroft was awesome. Loved U2 (compare that to the Quo who opened 20 years ago!), also Robbie Williams was great! Got pretty emotional when Sir Bob did his bit too. Hard to pick a real winner - lets hope it did the trick thou, eh?
warmguns	Date: July 4, 2005 @ 9:08 PM Pink floyd were on top form.Man I hope those guys go on tour. The Who were second. Coldplay were also good, I agree McCartney with U2 was kinda crappy, but U2 themselves were good. Yeah definetely Floyd were the pick of the night. All money from DVD sales should go to Africa.
blueyes2112	Date: July 5, 2005 @ 5:26 AM deffinately, DVD and record sales as almost all the artist's who performed have had large increases in their record sales so they should all give a little bit towards the cause!
Dexter	Date: July 5, 2005 @ 5:53 AM Nick Mason speaking to Radio Times, a + radio listings magazine here in the "Well, it was Bob's idea, we can't claim the credit for it. Bob was presumably thinking he really wanted an addition to what he did last time He wanted a "novelty" act really. It was a toss-up between us and the Spice Girls! Not sure if we lost or won... Bob approached David Gilmour and David was not hugely enthusiastic With good reason, I felt He's in the middle of a solo project. Bob rang me and said that David wouldn't do it And I felt, well that's Dave You can take a to water but you can't make him drink. In Dave's case you can't even get him near the water! But Bob then spoke to Roger and he agreed. I he felt - we all felt, actually - that it was a shame that we didn't play Live Aid, but we didn't really exist as a band at the time So Roger rang David and that cemented it There's not been much conversation in the past 10 years So this was a fairly hefty thing for us You can't carry on World War Three forever What are we playing? Pink Floyd songs We tried to work up some Deep Purple but it didn't seem to suit us somehow! When rock 'n' roll was invented it was something people assumed you'd do for a year or so. But we're still here and it becomes more than that, you develop some special chemistry If we hadn't reformed for Live8 we'd have done it for another charity event, I suspect It's a good reason to do it, a way of building bridges for the right reasons rather than burning them down. I'm drowning in metaphors here!" So there's a hint of a reunion but not much of one I considering David's reluctance in the first place Only time will tell...
EvilPicnic	Date: July 5, 2005 @ 6:16 AM I only saw the gig, and I thought it was a bit crap overall (but what did I expect, perfect sound?) I thought Madonna was great, and Annie Lennox's first song was a highlight. Then The Who blew everyone away, and then Floyd blew The Who away. Pink Floyd stole the show, and played an amazing set.
AgentMGD	Date: July 5, 2005 @ 10:07 AM from the UK concert - PINK FLOYD! from the Moscow concert - Pet Shop Boys from the Toronto concert - Neil Young from Philly - K West and Stevie Wonder however - Pink Floyd stole the whole the show in the UK(besides Robbie Williams and Coldplay). The UK finale was the best! The "Hey Jude" sing-a-long rocked!
Droquen	Date: July 5, 2005 @ 3:37 PM I saw Deep Purple, and I thought they were great, got a good response from the Canadian crowd...they even wanted an encore I saw The Who do that song from NYPD Blue and that was amazing, sooo much energy in their performance! I've heard that Pink Floyd and Velvet revolver's performances were amazing too but I haven't seen them yet.
Alecs	Date: July 8, 2005 @ 11:02 PM REM anybody?
imemine	Date: July 9, 2005 @ 3:52 PM Live 8----Some late observations. I missed U2(I heard that Sgt Pepper was awesome),R.E.M. ,Sir Elton, Green Day etc ….Hope to catch'em later but……Velvet Revolver kicks GNR’s ass! No more excuses. Sting is still Sting with less hair—and “Walking on the Moon” is still the stupidest song ever.(even though he didn't do it here) The long walk to Justice. Who the hell is Joss Stone but DAMN---that girl can sing! I’d still fuck Madonna. Rob Thomas looks odd sitting behind a vintage keyboard….awesome with Stevie Wonder though. Stevie was !!!!!Children are dieing. Maria Carey is a blonde? Robbie Williams ---reminds me of Davy Jones. I’d still fuck Madonna. The Who—cool but not the same without Entwistle! Make poverty History. How great to see Roger Waters back with Floyd!!!!! David Gilmore is turning into Winston Churchill…Gilmour,Mason, Wright and Waters together for the first time since 81! I’d still fuck Madonna. GREAT Beatles tunes---George Michael---WTF?-----Sir Paul hasn’t lost a beat----if only ---------- Bob Geldof You da man!
vladb	Date: July 9, 2005 @ 8:04 PM It really is going to have to be Pink Floyd. You can't argue with a show like that. As for old Madge, the tune were there, the voice was not...
chrismacmanus	Date: July 11, 2005 @ 8:28 AM My vote's for Pink Floyd. Why the hell were UB40 and Annie Lennox there? Pure Bollocks. Dido really really can't sing, she pretty mcuh murdered '7 Seconds Away' - Youssou N'dour (I haven't a clue how that's spelt) saved that performance
