'ning everyone, long time no see
Live 8 was good for the last 40 minutes or so, The Who, PF, and McCartney.
The rest was very meh.
U2 / McCartney singing Sgt Pepper was really bad, imho, they would've been better getting the Quo to open with Rocking all over the world again.

any opinions on PF touring again on the back of such an astounding appearance?

No, but I have an opinion
that if Chris Martin ever attempts to sing any song with "rocking" in the title again, we tie him to a large stake and burn him

that was embarrasing to watch
almost as bad as seeing Peter Kay get the crowd to sing that song.
And was it just me, or did almost every band try and do a Freddie Mercury-esque crowd participation bit, and all fail miserably

Robbie Williams managed it
In fact, he got the audience to do his set for him.

I'm not a Robbie fan but I would've been pissed off with that.
You would want to hear him perform, not watch him with that smug grin on his face holding a mic into the crowd watching you singing his songs back at him.
I don't buy a CD of backing music so that I can sing the fucking songs, I want to hear the artist goddammit.
*clears throat*
sorry
