The Greatest Concert Ever
The Live 8 concerts were incredible. Pink Floyd back together, U2, Coldplay, and many other top notch performers. We had a dual screen sorta thing set up to see as much of it as possible. On the left, the “old school” MTV / VH1 broadcast on our tv. On the right, the AOL feeds on our laptop. Aside from having to tweak my connection preferences a few times due to high volumes of traffic, the internet viewing was totally the way to go. There were no annoying tv commentators or commercials and you could pick any of the 10 cities you wanted to see (Salon article).
Now that the show's over, we just have to hope that the message of debt relief and aid to Africa will be heard by the G8 summit leaders.
