So what did we all think? The Who seemed to be the best peformers. Sting wasn't so bad.

What was going on with Madonna? I thought she was gonna force that poor
child to hang around like a lemon while she sang her songs.

I thought The Who were great for their ages - musically they sounded really good even though the voices had aged somewhat. Bono went on a bit too long at the beginning. I missed most of the middle, including Sting who I wanted to see. Robbie Williams must have given the security guys a bit of a headache!

Maybe it was because i missed most of it through being at work, maybe it was because i think there may be other things the G8 nations need to do before cancelling the debt, or maybe because i am a miserable old git - but i just didn't feel anything. I know it was supposed to be the defining event of this generation etc etc part of history etc etc but it just wasn't there for me

I must be a miserable old git too then.

What I don't understand is what G8 have got to do with it. How can an operatic group from the X-Factor stop poverty in Africa?

By eating them?

I won tickets for this and it was an amazing concert. I think you had
to be there to appreciate how poignant it was. The sound quality was
amazing, as were Robbie Willaims, Dido, Annie Lennox, String, Madoona
and Travis.

Getting into the concert was very badly organised. I missed U2 and Coldplay for that reason.

I thought Madonna and Mariah Carey were good.

I would have liked to have seen String!

He was very good goldencup. He sang the same 3 songs he sang at Live Aid.

I work with the lady who more or less started Live Aid. She featured in Michael Burkes documentary all those years ago.

I hate Stink. He is music for people who don't like music.

Don't know what you can say about Mariah Carey then with her drone-along songs.

Mariah Carey is a loony.

She was actually booed in the section I was standing in. This wasn't picked up on stage or in the newspapers the next day.
