I missed that conversation ..
I avoided all of Live 8 due to being on a boat, with the sad exception of Dido and Youss'n van door or whatever the fuck. I was really disappointed that he just did some shouty backing bits on "thank you" and didn't just steam in with the Eminem bits ;)

Credit where it's due:
Dido sounds exactly the same live, as she does on studio recordings.
/damns with faint praise
