Live 8 Annoucned

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

Nope. They'll have a new album out later this year, and I fully expect a full tour (US included) in '06.

[CanadianGuitarist 0]

Go on...

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

...that's all I know.

[Red Baron 0]

Here's some of the other bands that are playing in Toronto (Barrie specifically)

 

Gordon Lightfoot

Tragically Hip

Sam Roberts

Barenaked Ladies

Our Lady Peace

Randy Bachman

Burton Cummings

Bruce Cockburn

Tom Cocharan

Motley Crue

Great Big Sea.

[Lord of The Curry 0]

Goddamn what a shitty lineup. Motley Crue?!

[King Kamala 0]

possible Guess Who reunion? Barenaked Ladies? Brian Adams and Loverboy gotta get on the Toronto bill, so they can pretty much have every Canuck band on there.

Goddamn what a shitty lineup. Motley Crue?!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

Shitty?

 

Motley Crue came out of the blue, but to say Gordon Lightfoot, Barenaked Ladies, Bruce Cockburn, Tragically Hip and a possible Guess Who reunion shitty, makes me wonder if you do care about music at all?

[Red Baron 0]

Also added is Celine Dion (who is not Canadian) Bryan Adams (we apologize to the American folk for Bryan Adams) Jann Arden and Billy Talent.

[Red Baron 0]

I wouldn't be surprised to see Pearl Jam playing on the Canadian bill.

[King Kamala 0]

I wonder what bill Bruce will be on? I'm almost sure its Philadelphia, Bruce is from South Jersey after all but given the rap (and general crappy music) nature of that bill, Bruce would look way out of place.

[snuffbox 0]

Id like to see the Canada show...Deep Purple, OLP, Tragically Hip, Jann Arden, Barenaked Ladies, more isnt too bad.

 

How hard is it to get the tickets?

[Spaceman Spiff 0]

I don't know how Toronto will run it, but there are no tickets for the Philly show. It's open to everyone. And if TO does have tickets, admission is free (probably some kind of lottery or first come/first serve type of deal)

[CanadianGuitarist 0]

Also added is Celine Dion (who is not Canadian) Bryan Adams (we apologize to the American folk for Bryan Adams) Jann Arden and Billy Talent.

How is she not? Not that I'm not ashamed of her.

 

Bryan Adams will be performing his new single "I'm gonna wanna gonna"

[Dogbert 0]

Please remind me of why we're ashamed of Bryan Adams. I'm a big fan of his.

 

Oh, and were I in Barrie, I'd SO be there.

[Guest Crimson Idol]

Every line up has like 1 or 2 bands and then pure crap

 

Canada's line up seems to be a better one, Not any huge bands but atleast a lot of decent ones.

[cbacon 0]

That line-up is pretty underwhelming. Like Curry said, there needed to be a second stage for bands like BSS and Arcade Fire. Hell, they could have got Matt Good and k-os who have stated they would have gladly played.

 

BTW Curry, are you coming to the BSS/Modest Mouse/Metric show on Sunday?

[UseTheSledgehammerUh 0]

Any advice for someone going to the show next Saturday?

 

I have a friend w/ a friend who lives a few blocks from the Museum, still, what time would you advise going to the show? When does the thing start? Where will the crowd be standings, etc.?

[Guest The Bish]

Everything after Reckless is considered crap. Well, I liked everything up until Waking Up the Neighbours in 1991 at least.

[Guest bort]

Tickets for the Toronto show went on ticketmaster Today at 10, I got my tickets and so did my friend. The line up is got a bit of somthing for everyone and our lady peace generally rules......im quiting my job basically so I can go

 

 

Its gonna be a crazy weekend with Edgefest friday with Billy Talent, Rise Agiasnt, Alexisonfire, Story of the Year, Social Code, Kill Radio ect....Ill end up getting home at like 2 Am, sleep for like 6 hours then get up and drive to Barrie for Live 8

To CG:

 

When's the last time she's been to Canada, or even mentioned Canada?

 

To Dogbert:

 

Its a South Park reference, but its very true. And I'm sure he's gonna play his new single I'm Gonna Wanna Gonna.

When's the last time she menioned something that wasn't herself or her kid? Miracle, as if no one's ever had a kid before.

 

Crimson Idol's girlfriend covers that DVD up for a reason in my electronics dpeartment for a reason.

 

And RB51, I beat you to the Gonna Wanna Gonne reference.

 

'They said don't walk on the grass'

[Guest Ransome]

If anyone cares, I hear the opener of the London show will be Paul McCartney and U2 singing the 'Sgt Pepper's' title track (obviously for the "It was twenty years ago today..." line), and closing with McCartney singing 'The Long and Winding Road'.

I'd advise getting to your friend's place early, since the Philly police are closing off a fairly large portion of the area around the Art Museum. I'm going on Saturday and I'm staying at a friends' apartment that is about a 10 min walk away from the Art Museum and I'll probably head up there Friday night so I can avoid the traffic.

 

Show starts at noon, but they'll be showing the London show on the jumbotrons at the Museum, I'd get there early if you want to be close to the stage.

[Dogbert 0]

Oh. geez. I, who has seen all the SP episodes, didn't pick that up. *headdesk*

[Guest bort]

I went to the Toronto show, left my house at like 5:30 Am and was in line by 7ish. Thought the show was pretty good, was within 20 feet of the stage for a fair amount of the concert, from like 4 to 530 there was only 1 person in front of me. We left after the Hip as we were badly sunburned and generally burned out from edgefest the night before. I thought the best bands were Our Lady Peace, Deep Purple, The Hip and Simple Plan

[Mik 0]

Did OLP play anything from the new album, Healthy in Paranoid Times? Curious to see how it's sounding...

[Guest bort]

They played the first single of it, its on radio stations in Toronto now....might be called best day of youre life or somthing like that, I thought it sounded good personally. Its sounds a little more complicated then some of there past stuff. I heard some samples of the new cd and alot of it sounded pretty mellow and popish but this song has give me hope for a harder soundin cd

It's available on iTunes. I got goosebumps.

So in another words, crappy.

 

They should go back to making songs like Naveed, Supersatelite, Automatic Flowers...etc...

Bring this thread up to get a question answered - other than a few songs on the official website, does any file sharing programs have some of the Live 8 performances on mp3 or something? I havent been able to find shit but was hoping someone would have had to done a recording of the show and converted the audio to mp3 files.
