DaveC · 06-21-2005, 09:30 PM

Fuck!!

Now every single TV and radio station in Canada is going to be broadcasting the Toronto show and I'm going to miss the Pink Floyd reunion and U2 show in London!!

pepokiss · 06-21-2005, 09:35 PM

but if this is anything like LIVE AID, it's supose to be just 1 BIG BROADCAST, doesn't it?

BTW: Latest info.. just found out that 50 CENT had to back down of the Philly show:
"50 Cent, citing a scheduling conflict in shooting his first movie, has had to back out of performing in Philadelphia, PA. In his place, both Destiny’s Child and Linkin Park have been added on to the Philadelphia bill for July 2."

It's depressing to see the Toronto (Barrie) list when you consider the Canadian acts that were omitted in favour of the rest (or if you look at a great deal of the other venues). Not a terrible lineup, but at the same time it's not very representative of the talent and creativity up here.

Whatevs. All for a good cause in some roundabout way.

grbounds · 06-21-2005, 11:01 PM

so.... how do we get tickets for the toronto show??

timothius · 06-22-2005, 05:15 AM

Our Lady Peace

they're great.

Simple Minds are a good inclusion as well. I thank any country that is fortunate enough to be in the G8 should be thankful enough that they have a concert (letalone the socio-economic reasons that make you in the EU to begin with).

It's going to be a great day of entertainment

Simple Minds WOULD be great but unfortunately it`s Simple Plan who is playing in Barrie...

Nice. You beat me to it.

It's honourable that some of these artists are willing to take the time to use their celebrity for this "awareness" concert, but not all of them can be absolved from criticism. Especially one performer (let's call her Ms. Prion) who may or may not be simulcasting a "live" performance to the Barrie concert from one of her many high-paid Las Vegas shows. Her physical presence probably would have been unbearable anyway.

Of course the shows will be entertaining, but there's an obvious disparity between the Barrie concert and many others. It's a privilege to have a one-time event like this in one's country for sure. That doesn't change the fact that many of the artists are outside of the appeal of the target observer (those that would actually care to activate their awareness). Keeping this in mind, it's not ungrateful or callous to suggest that the performers could be better selected... both musically and demographically.

Unless I've severely underestimated the political motivation of BTO and Tom Cochrane fans.

True, but have you seen the US lineup? Seriously, have you seen it? Needless to say, I wont be buying tickets for that....

lmjhitman · 06-22-2005, 10:42 AM

I'm tempted to start a "The US Got Screwed" thread.

The lineup for Philly is pretty dismal. London got the best of the lot, just like the last time. Oh well.

cujo · 06-22-2005, 11:43 AM

I'm going to steal A-Ha from Germany.

Hasselhoff could substitute on short notice. That is, if he can find some time in his overwhelming schedule.

IF.

Where's the Arcade Fire in Canada's lineup???????????????????
The U.S. lineup blows chunks.
We better not get interuppted with 50 fuckin cent or the Celine Dion when U2 or R.E.M. are playing. I'll smash my T.V. if that happens.

I give up!

Naturally I'm a very realistic bordering on sarcastic person, for once in my life I try to be optimistic and end up looking very stupid.

anitram · 06-22-2005, 07:53 PM

They apparently added Jet today.

Where the hell is The Arcade Fire? Is there anybody in their right mind who actually wants to see Celine Dion on satellite in a dumpy field up in Barrie?

Good luck on the 400 during the long weekend for those who will be going. Should be a pleasant drive, LOL!
