U2 Tour Dates - Now Official! — Page 106

I haven't really seen anything about what's airing when and from where...though I haven't really looked either. I think I shall make that my mission for tomorrow at work. I'd imagine at some point in the day there'll be performances happening simultaneously.

---

I'm pretty sure they're cutting back and forth. I don't know how it works out with simeltaneous events, though.

Oh, and Ellie, if you're so enamored with the Live 8 dvd (so much so that it required two identical posts), you're welcome to buy it for me as a birthday present.

Well, I'm at "work"...an hour+ late...Shhhhhh! Oh well, my supervisor isn't even here yet, so I guess it't not really a big deal. Besides, I get a ride from someone else in the office, so if she's late, guess what that makes me?? So, I'm off to see if I can find something on Live8.

Oh, apparently Bono was on Charlie Rose last night. I missed it. What a pity! Oh well, I think I saw four different guests listed, so he probably wouldn't have had a whole lot of time on air anyway.

ETA:
The MTV/ VH1 feed, which will run from noon until 8 p.m., will also air on mtvU. Relevant highlights will additionally run on July 3 on CMT and VH1 Classic.

In addition to showing select live coverage, the programming will include interviews with fans on site at some of the eight venues hosting shows and a look at what is expected from the upcoming G8 summit, where the topic of debt relief will likely take center stage (see "50 Cent, Jay-Z, Mariah, U2, Coldplay On Board For Massive Live Aid Sequel ").

EATA:...Found this (doubt that it's accurate, but we shall see)

The Mirror" tells:

LIVE 8: THE RUNNING ORDER
SO, who's playing..and when? It's the burning question and The Mirror is here to help. We have seen a provisional schedule for the mega- gig and can reveal it for the first time. We have listed the proposed running order and songs, where known. A Live 8 source said: "Everyone is rehearsing what they are going to do and it's clear some things may change right up to the last minute."

-----------------
No way are they going to let U2 do 6 songs! You know I love them, but really! That's hardly fair. I'd think 4 (including the teaming w/ McCartney) would be good. One, Streets, and Crumbs?? Crumbs seems fitting, but I highly doubt that they'd bust it out for the first time live like that. We'll see!

*hugs Elphie* Travel safe, and try to get on-line to at least let you know you made it half-way round the world in one piece!

Talk to you later!

Oh, and since I'm here...I've been reading a bunch of stuff since this morning that U2's only singing "One."...well, other than Stg. Pepper's. I think somewhere between 2 and 6 songs seems fair. We'll see tomorrow!

---

That would indeed be fab. Pity Celine can't be there.

Bye, Elphie! Have a fun ninety-three hour flight! Enjoy your five months in NZ, and hurry back to tell us all the details. Of course, you're long gone now so you won't be reading this, but...meh. Toodles!

Tiff, I hope you're taping all this, because I'm not sure I'll be able to get all of it. Apparetnly U2's played (a rather ****ty set, IMHO) Beautiful Day, Vertigo, One...Ok, ONE song that has anything remotely to do w/ the cause. No Streets? No Crumbs? Vertigo?? Why, boys? Why?!?!?

---

Jeebus, you gals are hard to please. Stop being so critical, you hard-nosed whores! I, myself, thought U2 were absolutely fabulous, as usual. I thought the opening with Paul was great, if a bit short, and Beautiful Day, Vertigo and One were all very palatable. Bono looked a bit nervous, which I thought was sweet. 10/10, boys! Hooray!

'CTV's cameras panned out...'

I think every country got the same live feed, rather than each TV network send their own cameras, crew, directors etc. But I could be wrong, I guess.

Why is that trollop looking pointedly at me?

Happy 4th of July!

Whee, it's my birthday! Yay me! I've set up a gift list at Tiffany's in Manhattan, but don't worry - anything over $5,000 is fine. Hooray for Ellie! (Where's my birthday thread and kind words? )

Just a quickie...glad to see you made it in one piece, Elphie...Be sure to keep us posted on your hot Vermonter!! I'll chat later...in a bit of a hurry.

Happy belated b-day, Ellie!!!

What an event!

Have fun at 'work', Mabel! Is that harpsichord-loving oddball still beside you?

I still say U2 were great at Live 8. But how come The Killers only got ONE song, while that deranged banshee Mariah Carey got at least eighteen, each of which went on fpr six months?

Oh, I hope they aired The Killers on MTV, I taped their coverage.
How was Sgt. Pepper's? Cool outfits? I'll probably be pissed about who they aired and didn't air when I eventually watch it.
I'm sorry I missed your birthday, Ellie! Happy belated b-day! How old are ya?
I finally got my ID card so I can use the school's computer lab now!

Good afternoon ladies! (It feels like evening already - I've been up since 6amPST watching the CNN coverage!)

Sgt. Pepper's was good - no snazzy outfits on the band, but their backup "marching" band had very bright, solid-color costumes!

Ellie turned 91, but she's telling people she's "19". (Mabs, you know she's going to be dead weight if we want to go bar-hopping in October!)

Oh, and everyone - click Namo's signature and sign the petition if you haven't already, will ya? (I'm still contemplating buying the 10 One bands to give out. I'm going to order the MPH bands today - do you think their "youth" and "adult" sizes are the same as the One ones?)

I was thinking of doing some fund-raising for ONE or MPH and selling the bracelets to friends, co-workers, family, etc. for a few dollars more than what the site sells them for, and the donating all the proceeds to the campaign. I just don't know whether I should be content just having them wear the bands, and in some small sense, already raising awareness when people notice them and ask about the campaign. (It's so gratifying when people ask me what my One band means - when I rattle on about it, they realize I'm not just wearing it as a fashion statement.)
