[Boozyuzi]

Hell Freezes Over part 2 or what ???

So thats U2, Pink Floyd, REM, Coldplay, Paul McCartney, Madonna & Elton John all on one day - it's a legend frenzy !!!!!!

 

[Zoots]

Wow! This is major!!! But I can see how Gimour sees their differences with Waters as being petty compared to the cause of the Live 8 concert. And what's this? Tickets are available for UK residents only?

edit: Ooh... there's gonna be a show in Philly.

 

[Lancemc]

Yeah, but the Philly show isn't even worth seeing. The lineup is so unbelievably bad, you couldn't pay me to go. London has ALL the good acts.

 

[Zoots]

Really? Isn't Pink Floyd coming to Philly?

 

[Lancemc]

No. London. With U2, REM, Paul McCartney, The Cure, Coldplay, Keane, Snow Partol, Elton John, and a bunch of others that are better than the Philly Lineup.

 

[1stepcloser]

i hate madonna.

 

[XHendrix24]

Yeah. The Philly lineup really is embarrassing.

 

[MrBrau1]

Where Bowie? He's all that's missing from possibly the greatest concert line-up ever:

 

[gareth brown]

Holy crap you're right. BOWIE!!!!!!

Really? Isn't Pink Floyd coming to Philly?

why would they?

edit- sorry, realised this is the second time I've undermined what you've asked concerning Floyd and Philly...but i've read loads of posts on other forums instantly assuming when a big band comes into the rumour spotlight, they're going to go to Philly. Some guy was getting really worked up about Radiohead declining and asking why not and suggested Philly...suddenly realising the pointlessness of going all the way to Philadelphia for a concert that's already in London as well!

 

[impy13]

The London lineup is wet dream inducing.

 

[gareth brown]

certainly is.

 

[Lancemc]

Wait. I just realized I've been posting in two threads about Live 8 that are EXACTLY the same, in two TOTALLY different forums.

 

[U2girl]

Wow I never thought I'd see that.

I think Bowie said he feels he doesn't have enough time to properly prepare for the show, Stones are working on the new album, Radiohead aren't coming.

 

[2Hearts]

I'm a Radiohead fan, but all they would do is depress everyone. Not exactly what Live 8 is about.

 

[Chizip]

muse is in london

 

[gareth brown]

Haha! I keep forgetting all these amazing acts! We put the Americans to shame!

Damon Albahn from Blur was quoted today as saying"The line up is to Anglo Saxon for me".

Yeah that's right, where's Ricky Martin when you need him?

And Yoko, bring on Yoko!!!!

 

[gareth brown]

she should do something in Tokyo! They could do a great show there!!

 

[Aardvark747]

Gilmour and Waters -

 

[Lancemc]

Yeah, they still probably don't like each other much though, but at least they are willing to put differences aside enough to play some music for the sake of world relief.
