That'll wait until the end of the G8 conference. There is really nothing more you can say about it until we see whether or not it'll have any effect whatsoever. Apart from saying, of course, that Pink Floyd should tour as a matter of urgency...
The Americans, whose only TV source of Live 8 was MTV (get off the air!) are somewhat annoyed because they went straight to a commercial break in the middle of "Comfortably Numb". I don't blame them at all. Quite, quite sad...
It is also notable that the US and Canadian legs were the only legs with less watchable (but much more popular) bands than at Hyde Park, although that's soon to be topped by the Murrayfield leg - the best we've got is the Proclaimers, and that really does say it all. Worse, we've got a Bedingfield; even worse, it's Natasha. A disaster in the making?
