Live 8 – how was it for you?
For me it was:
- Snoop Dogg (London)
- Will Smith preaching it at the start of Philly’s Live 8 – get that man in a pulpit *now*!
- Dido (London) – especially performing seven seconds
- REM (London)
- The moment when Bob Geldof brought on Birhan Woldu, the little girl who was shown 10 minutes from death in the “who’s gonna drive you home” video from Live Aid 1984, standing on the stage, a beautiful, intelligent woman, being hugged by Madonna.
- Madonna (London)
- Will Smith performing ‘Summertime’ at Philly
- Sting! (London) – with special lyrics to ‘Every step you take’, while pictures of the G8 leaders were flashed up on the screens
‘…so now we’ll see, if democracy, is just a game you play, no matter what we say…’
… every step you take, we’ll be watching you. - Pink Floyd in London, opening with Breathe, took me right back to when I was a slightly gloomy, introverted fifteen-year-old. The whole set was faultless it was great to see these men are still such excellent performers. Dave Gilmour, in particular, was astonishing.

for me it was 1/4 million people protesting peacefully in edinburgh, which seems to have been completely ignored by the southerners!!
