So, what's your favorite group, or what do you think has been the highlights so far? Likes and dislikes?

I particularly liked the Paul McCartney and U2 performance of "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". Quite enjoyable. London overall has the best lineup.

 

[LiberatedChick]

Absolutely loved U2 and Coldplay. Madonna is on now...quite like her too.

I'm bummed that I didn't get to see Coldplay cus I was still asleep, but now I'm watching...I'm ok with Madonna. I used to really dislike her, but now I don't mind her at all.

I didn't get to see Coldplay, but my bro's taping it. I did get to see U2 do Beautiful Day - very nice. I was getting goosebumps.

 

[MissRowboat]

Yay The Killers! I had left and when I came back they were on.

Pink Floyd
Björk

Floyd were awesome just now....

 

[Nienor]

I really enjoyed Pink Floyd

 

[SilverEagle]

I never got to see Deep Purple...

But I'm taping it so maybe I'll get to see them when I watch the tape.

 

[BOJAX]

Not a fan of Motely Crue but their set was cool,

 

[cygnusx1]

The highlights for me were Pink Floyd , just didn't want them to stop .

The Who were Great!!!

The Beatles song Helter Skelter was a great surprise ..... I love that song , I think Rush should have done it on that covers album.

I missed U2 , I didn't realise what time it started.

I thought Robby Williams was a laugh , was there any point in George Michael showing ?


All in all it made me proud to be British

some bands were missing .... Queen , Sabbath , Genesis (Phil Collins)

 

[CJ.23]

Pink Floyd, Robbie Williams, The Who for me. Absolutely brilliant.

The Who and Pink Floyd were great. I don't know how much of the Canadian concert you guys got to see, but it was amazing. They closed out the concert with Neil Young and the rest of the performers doing a 10-minute version of "Rockin' in the Free World", and then someone started an impromptu rendition of the national anthem. Pretty cool when 40,000 people all start singing it at the same time. Now I'm going to go watch all of the highlights.

I watched part of the concert on VH1 and MTV earlier today-it was some of the worst programming that I have ever seen. The majority of the time I saw the video DJs when I wanted to see the concert performances! I don't want to hear stupid DJs talk

I might go over to the website and buy some performances-I kind of want to see my man Sir Elton's performance. I missed the later parts of the concerts.

I taped the show here. Horrible I wish they had shown more international acts because they didn't so well showing much of anythign really. I'm watching London's on AOL music now, if anyone missed anythign, every show is there

Definitely the worst part.

London blew the rest of the concerts out of the water. U2, Coldplay, Sting, Pink Floyd, Paul McCartney, and Elton John were all great. I really hope this makes the impact they're - we're - hoping for.

 

[london boy]

Didn't see it all - but Pink Floyd, The Who, Velvet Revolver, Madonna, Stevie Wonder were great.

 

[Liefde]

I just was re-reading the line ups, and Jars of Clay were in the Philly show. I've now seen their preformance, wow they were great it's cool to see a Christian group there.

 

[absolutely_lost_86]

u2 were mad, so was pink floyd. i saw green day, paul mcarteny, pretty disapointed tht they only showed one motley crue song. i was disapointed i was asleep 4 bon jovi

 

[draper]

What songs did Floyd do? I know they did 'Wish You Were Here'.
