Live Earth
 

This Saturday at 5.30pm on BBC1, acts like Black Eyed Peas, Snow Patrol, Madonna, Razorlight, Metallica, Chilli Peppers and more are doing Live Earth, to raise awareness for climate change.

I think it looks really bad tbh, so much lack of advertisement.

There seriously is a lack of advertisement - I heard about it just, after you mentioning it! Sounds like a good line-up though, and for a good cause. Maybe it'll be a surprise... e.g. people tune in, and it turns out fantastic! (Well, you never know!) I'll probably tune in, now you've mentioned it.

Really? I only just heard about this now!

I forgot it was happening :laugh2:

I heard about this months ago when the Spice Girls re-uniting was first on the cards and this was meant to be their first live gig together. I take it they aren't doing it anymore... if they were I'd imagine stronger advertisement.

OMG! Hang on, that's next weekend?!?!

I forgot all about it!

I heard about that a few days ago on radio 1.

Theres seven limited covers of the radio times this week dedicated to Live Earth

oh i didnt no it was this saterday
the only 1 i will be looking out for is Kelly Clarkson this rest dont intrest me much

It starts at 1.00pm on BBC Two until 5pm

and then BBC One pick up at 5.30pm - 10.30pm, news break, then 10.30pm - 4am

Wow. What a long concert.

This looks really good, ecspecially with acts like BEP, Madonna and PCD!
Hope PussyCat Dolls perform Tainted love :)

It's tomorrow now...

...looking forward to it?

PCD aren't singing anything new, Chris.

Cack.

I hope they show the American leg, I want to see the new Pumpkins line-up. Certainly a better line-up than that Diana nonsense last week.

The whole concept of the gigs is a joke to be honest. I'm probably not the first person to point out the hypocracy of private jetting pop stars around to "raise awareness" about the deterioration of the o-zone layer (and let's be honest everyone has recognised this problem except for Dubya)

Sounds really good IMO, long so will cover loads of acts. :thumbs: :thumbs2:

I can kind of remember something about live earth but it didn't even occur to me what it was when i read about it couple of days ago. It really hasn't been advertised well. :sad:




Btw it on from 12:30pm - 4.05am :shocked::shocked::shocked: lol

OMG!

So I can tune in any time then!

Very long concert then!

Must be to do with the time difference between the different countries.

Liked Genesis, Snow Patrol are doing OK, Razorlight were a bit disappointing. Looking forward to others :bigsmile:

I think it's really boring... none of the acts seem into it, the crowd don't seem into it... Alan Carr was reading from an auto-cue (travesty :shocked:).

Edit: Ok... the audience seemed a bit more into it when Snow Patrol started playing.

am only watching for Rihanna, black eyed peas, timberland (i dont think hes doing it anymore) and pussycat dolls lol

:shocked:
