Live 8 - Pink Floyd Reunion

[ggw]

"Geldof also said that people without tickets will be allowed into Hyde Park on the day of the show, reportedly to watch the concert with extra screens and speakers.
 
 "I'm not supposed to talk about this but other people tell me there are arrangements to allow hundreds of thousands more into the park on the day," he said."

  From what I can figure out on eBay, the last bid for two tickets to London Live8 is a bit over $18,000.00 for two...and apparently, ole Bob and company think they've figured out how to flag sold tickets from on-site auctions so they'll deny access.  What a load...I think there was an opportunity for the Brit. gov't to encourage a bit of US tourism in what they think will be a slow summer due to exchange rates, but I can find NO hotel with a 'package' deal - even one right across the street from Hyde Park; I even thought Virgin Atlantic would show a little creativity...even contributing a few bucks to the "One" campaign from each sale or something, but NOOOOOOO.?? Makes good 'ole American entrepeneurship (or scam skills) look damned unique!!!

it'll probably be similar to the queen's jubilee concert, there were maybe 10-15 huge screens set up around hyde park and maybe 20,000-30,000 people gathered around each of them ... fun show, but more for the atmosphere than music ... mccartney/clapton on "while my guitar gently weeps" was the big-time highlight

Rumored setlists
 
 A few things worth checking out there.  Too bad MTV will be too busy showing Puffy and Bon Jovi.

It is going to be tough to be switching back between MTV and Vh1 to find out who's got the good stuff.
