Live 8 on AOL

By Thomas Henwood · July 27, 2005 ·

Well, obviously most of you will have already seen this, but if not, I wouldn’t want anyone to miss the chance to see this. It has to be the best thing ever to have come out of that axis of evil we know of as AOL Time Warner. You can watch most of the Live 8 acts at all the cities. You can watch Roger Daltrey’s alarming lipsync to “Who are you”, Sting’s rather odd version of “Every Breath You Take” and U2 and Paul Macartney opening the show, with a rather strained version of “Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band”. It truly is wonderful, there is however one drawback, it doesn’t work in Firefox, but not to worry, I think that anyone can put up with using IE for just 5minutes (or 10 hours) for the chance to watch their favourite acts perform again.
