[tabatha]

3. Al Gore is the president of the world!

Great starting number. Gore speaking now.

[stuntcat]

4. I'm going to DC in the morning

To the American Indian museum. This site (http://www.nmai.si.edu/motherearth/index.html) says Gore will be there at 10:30 (???!)
I don't know :bounce: whatever :bounce: I'm just going to be counted! :bounce:

[BattyDem]

9. Lucky you!

Have a great time ... and give Al a big cheer for me! :-)

[SharonRB]

12. LOL - GMTA

[SharonRB]

10. Lucky you!

Have a great time.

[stuntcat]

28. thanks y'all!

peace.

[anotherCTliberal]

35. How exciting!

[msongs]

5. pay per view nt

[BattyDem]

6. Where is it pay per view?

:shrug:

[SharonRB]

7. I'm streaming it

http://entimg.msn.com/i/ExperienceData/p1-7/en-us/x.htm?sh=LiveEarthLive&g=fd3116b3-ebc3-439e-a9a0-2bb5dbf305cb

I thought Bravo and Sundance were going to be running continuously, but maybe not until tomorrow because they're not doing it now.

[Labors of Hercules]

11. Do they have the option to make full screen????

[SharonRB]

13. Thanks for asking -- I looked and found it

There's an "enlarge" button in the lower right of the screen.

[BattyDem]

16. I'm streaming, too.

If I remember correctly, Bravo and Sundance will begin broadcasting tomorrow morning.

[anotherCTliberal]

40. I think Bravo is showing it starting 9am tomorrow morning.

[LiberalArkie]

8. I wished it was available to people running something besides Windows.

I can't get any video running SUSE Linux with KDE Konqueror or Firefox

[marlakay]

36. I know I was on firefox and had to open explorer

was surprised since gore is with apple, but I am sure it had to do with nbc and msnbc covering it.

[blogslut]

14. Can't watch. Very sad.

This computer I'm running is a g3 iMac running Xubuntu. That particular configuration hates Flash/Shockwave. Whereas, I might be able to see it if I could find a direct Windows Media Player feed, unfortunately the player console on the MSNBC won't even load without browser plugins I simply can't use. I sure wish C-Span were airing this as a public service.

Anybody got any links to alternative streams for Live Earth?

[Bjornsdotter]

51. Audio only

...on Sirius radio. If you aren't a subscriber you can sign up for a free 3 day trial period.

Cheers

[Labors of Hercules]

15. Where are all those Aussies, eh???

[Rick Myers]

17. Got the stream going!!!

[tridim]

18. What a great feed!

I'm in the streaming biz and this beats my stuff. Thanks President Gore! ;)

[BattyDem]

20. It's crystal clear!

:D

[tridim]

26. Full screen wide-aspect too!

The audio mix a little off, but still pretty good.

[Jack Bone]

19. Did you catch the Madonna Video..

that was playing on the bigscreens? I think it's called "Hey You"...and from the video screens it looke pretty heavy...nice song as well..very melodic..

[BattyDem]

23. Yeah, it looked good

I liked the song, too

[Viva_La_Revolution]

21. Damn, late again!

only 23 hours 45 minutes left. :(


:P



:bounce:

[orleans]

22. okay--here we go--audio fixed--wheee! n/t

[Wiley50]

24. Gates is making me use Internet Explorer, The Bastard!

Only the second time I've ever used it

The first time was to go to mozilla and dl firefox

[Labors of Hercules]

31. I'm running firefox just fine.... *shrugs* nt

[Bjornsdotter]

53. Really

...I had to switch to IE. What version of Firefox are you running? I hate using IE...

Cheers

[Labors of Hercules]

59. version 1.5.0.12

runs with quicktime.

[Breeze54]

64. So does FF 2.0.0.4 run fine with QT but not for this concert!

:grr:

[Bjornsdotter]

82. Thanks! n/t

[IndyOp]

67. I am watching Firefox too, but I am wondering whether the stream

is better on IE. I tried opening it, but it wouldn't talk with my FlashPlayer and tried to download Flash for a PC onto my iMac, so screw it...

:(

[BattyDem]

25. Blue King Brown is performing

I'm not familiar with their music, but I like it so far. :bounce:

http://www.bluekingbrown.com

[Labors of Hercules]

27. hell yeah!!

[tridim]

30. They remind me of the 90's for some reason.

Gawd I wish I was there.

[BattyDem]

41. They've got a kind of latin-reggae sound ...

with lots of other stuff mixed in. I like them a lot. They make me feel like dancing!

[DinahMoeHum]

29. Just kicking off in Sydney, Australia.

Before everything started, the screens showed a bald-headed speaker who I swear had to be Peter Garrett, formerly of Midnight Oil, now a Member of Parliament, in the Labour Party:
http://www.petergarrett.com.au/

[tridim]

34. I think that was the guy from the military propaganda show on Discovery Channel.

It's called "Future Weapons" or something like that.

Must be more to the guy than I thought.

[Labors of Hercules]

44. whats with the fat white dudes dancing?

[Breeze54]

32. I don't want to use IE! Wah!

38. I felt same way even erased it from home computer

[2Design]

47. try firefox - you just might have to click the countries individually as

it moves around the earth - but I had it up on firefox - switched to ie so it would automatically move to next country when the time came - if I am still awake

[helderheid]

33. I can only get audio!! :(

[BattyDem]

48. Let's see if we can help ...

What browser are you using? Do you have the Adobe Flash Player installed? What version of Windows do you have? Are you using a pop-up blocker?

[bananas]

68. That happened to me with IE - firefox video works

edit to add - but you have to pick which stream to watch,
instead of the main feed

[bananas]

72. A lot of people asking about that on their discussion boards

but nobody with an answer
http://boards.live.com/Live%20Earthboards/board.aspx?BoardID=954

[Jack Bone]

37. Looking Forward to John Butler Trio & Jack Johnson

:party:

[Jack Bone]

45. On A Serious Note...

Please look into taking "The Pledge" if you haven't already...I'm prob'ly preaching to the choir here...but it is the reason for the show....it's really fast & easy to do....answer the call!!

[SharonRB]

88. I signed it last week

And so did hubby.

62. No shit! I had to use the Firefox switch rendering engine.

I HATE IE!!! :evilfrown:

[Synnical]

91. switch rendering engine?

DO TELL! I don't have IE loaded.

Thanks so much for any help.

[Breeze54]

110. It's available on Firefox - link -->

IE Tab, an extension from Taiwan, embeds Internet Explorer in a Mozilla/Firefox tab.

This extension is derived from the famous extension IE View, but much different.
While IE View always open IE-only pages in a seperate Internet Explorer window,
IE Tab can view them in a Mozilla/Firefox tab.

42. Streaming just fine for me.

:bounce: :bounce:

[pinto]

43. Kick.

:applause:

[rodeodance]

49. dang it. they told me use Internet explorer!!

[Labors of Hercules]

50. I hate to say it but...

There should be more people there.... These Aussies are kinda making me sad.

[BattyDem]

52. It does look like a small crowd.

:-(

[Labors of Hercules]

55. Anybody know why?

Was this a planning issue, or is there really not enough interest there?

[Jack Bone]

58. The pitch looks full to me...

I haven't seen any overhead shots to tell how full the seats are.

[Breeze54]

60. You're not seeing the whole stadium! Looks like a big crowd to me!

I can't stream it. :cry: I need high speed internet. :grr:

But I just called my 18 yr. old son, who's at a huge birthday party and they're streaming it! ;)

That's the target audience anyway, imho! :)

[Viva_La_Revolution]

54. Aussie Stadium holds 42000

have they shown any more of the audience than just the first few rows?

edit: I do see the seats behind the stage are empty...

[BattyDem]

56. They pulled back ...

The crowd in front looks great ... but further back, it looks a little thin. Unless ... there's some sort of path on the floor and the camera is not pulling back beyond that. I've seen the path in the middle of the floor at many concerts - it's usually in front of the sound board/"control room" platform - so that could be it.

[IndyOp]

61. It is early in the concert - but whoever the hell is directing this SUCKS rocks...

What is this STUPID shot showing the entire stage from way the freak back -- people watching online can't see what is on the damn screens. Dumb, dumb, dumb decision. They showed Al's intro up close so they must have that capability.

:thumbsdown:

[mzmolly]

63. Thanks so much for sharing this link!

:toast:

[BattyDem]

70. Thanks for joining me. I didn't want to watch it alone.

:hi:

[Labors of Hercules]

77. You definately not alone! nt

[Synnical]

65. MS HATES that I'm using Firefox!

Not streaming well at all.

[BattyDem]

69. I had the same problem .. I was forced to open IE

:-(

[Synnical]

71. I don't even have it loaded!

Fuck me. Am I going to have to DL that POS program?

[BattyDem]

66. Now Performing: Toni Collette and The Finish

http://www.tonicolletteandthefinish.com

Her voice reminds me of Pat Benatar

[Labors of Hercules]

74. don't litter? WTF?

[BattyDem]

75. LOL!

That surprised me, too ... but they meant well. :-)

[mzmolly]

79. Well hey, it pays to be sheltered.

Oh how I long for the days of blissful ignorance.

[Jack Bone]

81. yeah...don't litter

it was the 1st environmental message I ever got...

remember...

[Labors of Hercules]

86. Yeah, they're making me feel like they're still on square one...

"now remember, good Aussies don't litter..." ugh. I've always wanted to visit Australia, but given their horrible environmental record I think I'll stick with New Zealand.

[Jack Bone]

94. you should go...I enjoyed my time there back in '88...

twas their bicentennial so they were very patriotic and celebratory...I have the fondest of memories for OZ..

[originalpckelly]

118. I like her, she sounds good.

[Labors of Hercules]

73. Why do I get the feeling these Aussies just don't get it?

Watching this production makes me think they just don't get it... Dunno, the whole thing just seems to lack conviction.

[Codeine]

90. Honestly,

that's just a shitty line-up of bands. Convictions aside, I wouldn't attend a concert with that selection of music. In fact, most of the Live Earth line-up is inconsequential pop, middle-of-the-road-radio-friendly garbage, and really-trying-too-hard world beat. The Wembley line-up and parts of the Giants Stadium line-up look good, but for the most part it's terribly uninspiring.

[Labors of Hercules]

101. But doesn't that say something?

Why did more high calibre performers not want to perform at this event? I think they really thought the audience wouldn't be there, regardless... *shrugs*

78. Doesn't this band have any upbeat songs?

Every song is performed at the same tempo. I'm starting to get depressed. :-(

[Labors of Hercules]

80. is that their point? *shrugs*

[mzmolly]

83. Oh eyyyyyyyyyyy, ohhhhhhhhhhhhh eyyyyyyyyyyyyyy, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh

daaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, eyyyyyyyyyyyyy. What's not to like!?

;)

[BattyDem]

85. Another slow song ...

Oh man ... they're killin' me! I need some caffeine and an anti-depressant!

On edit: Hey ... the beat is finally picking up!

On edit again: That didn't last long. They're back to the slow stuff. :-(

[mzmolly]

92. YEAH!

[HeeBGBz]

99. Sheesh, they're destroying that TRex song

*weep*

[Spazito]

84. I am able to watch it on television in Canada and the crowd

looks pretty good when the camera pulls back and zooms out, I am watching on and off so haven't seen a complete pan of the whole crowd, I may have missed it.

[BattyDem]

87. Oh, lucky you! Thanks for the info.

:hi:

[ClayZ]

89. Whoooo HOOOOO!!!!!

It is GRAND!

[Labors of Hercules]

93. looking forward to Hamburg Tomorrow!

Anybody know how we can juggle between Hamburg and London? They're overlapping...

[BattyDem]

95. Two browser windows?

Put them side by side so you can watch both. Turn the sound down on one. Not sure if that will work, but it's worth a shot. :-)

[Labors of Hercules]

96. is there a simple way to record a live feed?

[BattyDem]

106. I know there are a lot of software programs that do it

I've never captured streaming video, so I don't know what to recommend. Ask on the Computer Help and Support forum - someone may be able to help. If not, Google "capture streaming video" or "capture windows media video" and you should find something. A lot of programs offer free demos, but you may not be able to capture more than 5 or 10 minutes with a demo version.

[BattyDem]

97. Isn't this a T.Rex song?

:-)

[HeeBGBz]

100. It was. n/t

[Le Taz Hot]

98. Dear Toni.

There are 11 other keys in the Western scale. Experiment a little, will ya?

[dancingme]

102. hey, she's a great actress

The Sixth Sense, Little Miss Sunshine, In Her Shoes

[Le Taz Hot]

104. I'm not disagreeing

and she's got a nice set of pipes. I'm just sayin' it wouldn't hurt to widen her range a little.

[HeeBGBz]

103. Didn't mean to put my post here. n/t

[BattyDem]

108. ROFL!

:rofl:

[HeeBGBz]

105. Where's Wolfmother?

I've been wanting to see these guys. Someone needs to crank it up.

[pinto]

107. Some simple Live Earth goals:

I PLEDGE:
1.To demand that my country join an international treaty within the next 2 years that cuts global warming pollution by 90% in developed countries and by more than half worldwide in time for the next generation to inherit a healthy earth;

2.To take personal action to help solve the climate crisis by reducing my own CO2 pollution as much as I can and offsetting the rest to become "carbon neutral;"

3.To fight for a moratorium on the construction of any new generating facility that burns coal without the capacity to safely trap and store the CO2;

4.To work for a dramatic increase in the energy efficiency of my home, workplace, school, place of worship, and means of transportation;

5.To fight for laws and policies that expand the use of renewable energy sources and reduce dependence on oil and coal;

6.To plant new trees and to join with others in preserving and protecting forests; and,

7.To buy from businesses and support leaders who share my commitment to solving the climate crisis and building a sustainable, just, and prosperous world for the 21st century.

[ben_meyers]

111. Yaaaawwwwnnn

Okay then, PM me when the Bee Gees are on!

[indie_voter]

112. Trapped in the 80s. n/t

[BattyDem]

115. I miss the Bee Gees

:-(

They actually put on a great show. I saw them in Las Vegas about 10 years ago at the "One Night Only" concert and they were fantastic!

By the way, if anyone happens to watch the "One Night Only" DVD, listen closely to the audience ... somewhere in that crowd, BattyDem is singing, dancing and having a blast!

[WinkyDink]

113. I get only sound, no video.

[Labors of Hercules]

114. yeah! Add those WIDE shots!!

Sneaky Sound System has added some seriously needed ENERGY!!! Let's hope it continues!!

[Labors of Hercules]

116. Tokyo has started! nt

[HeeBGBz]

119. Japan rocks

A whole different energy to start off

[BattyDem]

120. They're into it

:bounce:

On edit: They should get this band for OzzFest! :headbang:

[BattyDem]

121. To those who get sound but no video ... a possible solution

I came across this info via Google. I don't know if it will solve your problem, but it has worked for many people, so it's worth a shot.

In Windows Media Player:

Select tools > options > performance tab > advanced

Uncheck the "use video mixing renderer" box in the video acceleration section.

I hope this helps! :hi:

[WinkyDink]

130. No, but thanks for trying!

[AlGore-08.com]

122. Hey, that's Roshan Seth in the current Aussie PSA...

eom

[ToeBot]

123. Sponsored by Chevy? That's rich. nt

[pork medley]

124. so how was LiveEarth? sorry i missed it!

it mustve been pretty good, huh? bet Gore announced and everything, huh?

[Pachamama]

143. It's great, and it's happening right now through Sunday morning....

:bounce:

I'm rocking away right now....

[Jack Bone]

125. from little things...big things grow...

god, I love this song!!

[Pachamama]

126. Watching and streaming Missy Higgins from Sydney right now...she's great!

:applause: :bounce:

I'm looking forward to watching the opening of Hamburg around 5AM PST here in CA and seeing Shakira opening.... :hi:

[Jack Bone]

127. yeah...really... really good!!

I've waiting for John Butler & Jack Johnson and I've really surprised by some of these acts..

[Common Sense Party]

129. I'm waiting for CROWDED FREAKIN' HOUSE!!!

Them, and the Police sometime tomorrow.

Woo Hoo!!!

[Common Sense Party]

134. I'll admit, I'm an old fogey who hasn't heard of Jack Butler Trio

But that first song--he shredded that acoustic guitar! (Obviously with some funky pickups and pedals.)

I have heard this second song on the radio.

[Pachamama]

144. Me too....I didn't know what to expect and so far its so good, I'm going to stay up for it!

John Butler Trio was great, weren't they? (Love their drummer :)

[Jack Bone]

149. jack changed the lyrics for tonight...

very good!!

[SeattleGirl]

128. Was going back and forth between Australia's venue and Japan's

Hearing good stuff from both places.

[Pachamama]

141. Funny thing is that I am not tired...I'm on DU on one computer, got the concert streaming on video

on another computer and monitor and am rocking.....even munching on some Newman's Own Orange Choc Chip Cookies :bounce:

And I am not feeling guilty of having "2" computers on....The Pacha-house went Solar last month and my meter runs backward....it feels good to be part of the solution and at the same time not suffer...

PS: The John Butler Trio was awesome too...I confess I've been just watching the Australia venue and not Japan....and I'm now listening to Wolfmother who I like a lot....

:hi: Seattlegirl!

[Jack Bone]

146. good on ya...being solar that is..

We're gonna slap in new windows this summer, which should help...I'd like to go solar..but we just get too many overcast days here in Indiana...

We're gonna get a hybrid Durango...after the UAW contract gets finalized...don't wanna get one before we know we'll have work..ya know?

and bike more often as well..'specially down the street to the market..

[Jack Bone]

131. Has anyone heard who's playing in Antarctica?

[SeattleGirl]

132. I haven't, sorry.

[Common Sense Party]

133. From the Live Earth website:

LIVE EARTH ANTARCTICA (Special Broadcast Event)
NUNATAK



I don't know when, though.

[Jack Bone]

136. thank ya..that'll be cool!!

[Jack Bone]

138. Nunatak....from Wikipedia

Nunatak is the British Antarctic Survey’s Rothera Research Station’s house band. The five person indie rock band is part of a science team investigating climate change and evolutionary biology on the Antarctic Peninsula<1>. On 7 July 2007 as part of Live Earth, Nunatak will play to a sell out crowd of 17 (the entire population of the BAS research station Rothera<2>) and will make up the Seventh Continent contingent of the Live Earth concert.

Lead singer Matt Balmer, 22, said of the event that the band "expected to spend our Antarctic winter here at Rothera quietly getting on with our work and maybe performing at the occasional Saturday night party. We could never have imagined taking part in a global concert." <3>

The band's name is derived from the Greenlandic word for a mountain top protruding from a glacier. Originally the band had named itself after a disease previously common to Punta Arenas roughly translated to "Ratchet Death" but felt that the pronunciation of that name was less than politically correct.

[Common Sense Party]

139. They won't be live, however. From NPR:

The concert will kick off outdoors — in temperatures expected to be about 10 degrees below zero Celsius — on a stage at Rothera station's airstrip. Then, the band will move to what Thorne describes as a "very popular venue known as the 'sledge stall.'"

Thorne is rather sanguine about the event: "We're playing to a sellout audience of 17 people, which is the entire complement of the Rothera base, so it's as much of a success on Adelaide Island as it possibly can be. Intimacy is, and always has been, one of the band's main attractions."

Because of the difficulties of broadcasting from Antarctica, only those 17 devoted fans will be able to watch Nunatak's live show.

However, video of the band from an earlier show will be available at Live Earth on MSN.




I'd love to know the original name for the band.

[Pachamama]

142. Yeah, some of the Scientists there that have a little band they formed...

Seriously, I was listening to a discussion about it today....can't remember the name, but they usually play in front of 20 people....what a different experience for them today, eh?

[Common Sense Party]

135. What's with all the "No Nuclear Energy" signs?

Why take that off the table completely?

Hasn't France done well by nuclear power?

[Jack Bone]

137. Aussies & New Zelanders aren't hip to Nukes..

They protested our ship (US Navy) when we pulled into any harbor in OZ...NZ wouldn't even let us visit if we had nukes onboard...since the Navy's stance was "I Can neither confirm nor deny...blah..blah.."...we couldn't go to NZ....I dunno why?...but it's their thing

[upi402]

140. k/r n/t

[Common Sense Party]

145. Get this Wolfmother guy some singing lessons.

Better yet, get them off the stage.

Yeah, you like Sabbath. We get it.

[Jack Bone]

148. I've always thought they've been ripping off Zepplin...

I can see the black sabbath reference too

[Common Sense Party]

150. Yes, I can definitely hear the Zeppelin influence, as well.

Musically, they sound quite good, if unoriginal.

Vocally, that guy blows dead donkeys.

[orleans]

147. anyone streaming the japan feed of cocco?

nice sounds, looks very serene--can't understand a thing tho--but music transcends language, right?

linkin park is up next in japan.

[Jack Bone]

151. anyone watching London?

There drumming S.O.S. really freakin' cool!!

[Viva_La_Revolution]

153. now that I'm awake I am

:)

Snow Patrol up now.

Did I miss Duran Duran? :(

[WinkyDink]

152. Watching BRAVO. I cannot STAND the male host! He talks with his tongue held behind his lower teeth!

Try talking like that!

[AntiFascist]

154. The Antarctic band wasn't bad at all...

and they consisted of scientists and engineers who work at the station!

[Up2Late]

155. Oh man, I wanted to see those guys. Bummer.

What time did they play?

I wanted to see Shakira too, but I went to bed after the Australia and most of the Japan shows were over.

[Subdivisions]

156. Here's their performance:

160. I saw Al :D

this morning :D
