worst for me,
1st , elton john & pete dot.. - just bad.
2st U2 and paul macartney ! - there vocals were so wrong togeather
3rd miss dynimite- i though she was rude !
best
1st madonna was FANTASTIC , huge suprise , the really MEGA sad film shown before and that little girl that was just about dead from the pic on the original live aid and to be shown alive and so beautiful , then madonna singing like a prayer had the whole room i was in filling up :-(
2nd annie lennox, such a beautiful soul was lovely , the rock into ’little bird’ was great.
3rd keane just sang brilliant live, great.

God to admit I enjoyed it a lot.... I thought Madonna was good live and I am not really a fan but she was gr8!
Keane & Paul M with U2 was good too! :)

I really enjoyed U2, Dido and Pink Floyd.
The duet by Dido & Youssou N’Dour was great! (7 seconds)

Best: Will Smith, The Who, Joss was pretty good. Robbie Williams of course rocked the house. Scissor sisters/Sting were brilliant.
Worst: A-ha, i’m sorry to say. I am still a big fan, but A-ha live just didn’t seem to work, at least in Live8.
I missed the Keane performance :(

From what i‘ve seen of it:
Best: -u2 beautiful day
-Robbie Williams; not a fan but i have to say he knows how to please an audience.
Special mention: Paul McCartney, the man is a model for the others, a legend... It shows that he loves to perform...
Worst: I have to say A-ha... My god, the man (Morten) has not change physically since 15 years, but his voice sure have... It look like a singer in a karaoke bar; they should have chosen another song that has not such hight notes (he wasn‘t able to sing one of them correctly...) Very deceiving...

i haven’t seen much of the London one since i was in Paris and the worst ones there were:
Tina Arena, Craig David (horrible Beatles cover!) and a ginger haired woman whose name i don’t know.
the best were Placebo !!!, the Cure (they came back on stage for a 2nd time :), Raphael, Louis Bertignac and Muse.
unfortunately Indochine didn’t perform, they would have been among the best ones too.

I am hoping they release a DVD of it, or parts of it, because I know it’s something I would buy... I was not intrested in Live 8 till I saw some of it on Saturday, and I did enjoy it!

What was the coverage like elsewhere? Did you get live coverage of most all the bands?
It was spotty in the US and frustrating because I never got the see some of the bands listed, and saw some of the clips twice (like Bon Jovi and Madonna—instead of showing who was on stage at that moment, they ran them again).
