    This weekend on Saturday MTV, XM radio and America Online are going to carry as much of the concerts as possible. And it's good to see Neil Young back on his feet again! He's going to headline the Canadian concert.

    ----------------
    TORONTO - Neil Young will mark his return on stage by performing at Canada's Live 8 concert Saturday, three months after he was treated for a brain aneurysm.

    Young will close out the show, accompanied by the Fisk University Jubilee Choir, organizers said this week. The free concert, one of nine to be held simultaneously around the world to raise awareness of poverty in Africa, will be held in Barrie, just north of Toronto.

    Bryan Adams, Our Lady Peace and Motley Crue are among the scheduled headline acts at Canada's Live 8 concert. Dan Aykroyd and Tom Green will host the show, which will mostly feature Canadian artists, including Jann Arden, Gordon Lightfoot and The Tragically Hip.

    Concerts also are scheduled Saturday in London, Moscow, Berlin, Rome, Tokyo, Philadelphia, Paris and Johannesburg, South Africa.

    There were about 7 bands I wanted to see in all and 90% of them were in London.

    There were no bands/artists in the last two cities mentioned I liked.

    Randy Bachman from BTO and Burton Cummings from the Guess Who, plus supporting musicians.

    I imagine for their set they will do a 10 minute version of "Takin Care of Business" and a 10 minute version of "These Eyes" and then make way for the next band.

    Just doesn't have the same buzz that Live Aid had.

    Stevie Wonder, Paul McCartney, Gordon Lightfoot, Crosby, Stills & Nash and Neil Young are the only acts I care to see.

    Deep Purple with no Ritchie Blackmore is not worth seeing.

    The Philly and London shows are going to be amazing.

    I'm pretty freaked out about watching post-Syd Pink Floyd together again.

    Yeah - the real meat of it to me is the Pink Floyd performance with Roger Waters. I really didn't think it would ever happen.

    Sting would be another person who's a hero. The music he's created over the years, I don't really listen to it, but the fact that he's making it, I respect that.

    The closest they got to political commentary during the shows was Dave coming out before to introduce the opening band and encouraging everyone to vote. He said you knew who he was voting for, but he didn't care as much about who you voted for, just that you voted.

    That, and the song that contains the quote in my sig, but they haven't been playing that this tour. :D

    So ima,

    You have no interest in seeing Sting despite your love for The Police?? I understand not wanting to get his solo stuff as I am the same way, but I would not turn down a chance of seeing him live. He might even play a Police song or two. ;)
