What Performance Did YOU Enjoy the Most from Live Earth 2007?

[Bullet1987]

For me, it's somewhere between Alisha Keys and Kanye West.

[dsc]

1. Ethridge or Meyer

or the Police all of whom were great. I didn't see either of yours.

[mcg]

2. Spinal Tap! they're playing now! nt

[madame defarge]

38. I'm with you...

I have a new mission is life now. I want to be a doo-wop girl for Spinal Tap. B-)

[NobleCynic]

63. I still can't believe they got Spinal Tap for this

There was even a sign in the audience that said "turn it up to eleven".

[ClassWarfare2008]

76. Spinal Tap wasn't on Bravo at all

What a fucking outrage :mad:

[OzarkDem]

89. You Tube of Spinal Tap

Documentary on how the reunion came about

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kxSvF8iNEPg

Enjoy!

[C_U_L8R]

3. Melissa !!

Her performance was awe-inspiring.

(took me by surprise and left me misty eyed)

2nd prize - Spinal Tap's Army of Bassists for Big Bottom !!!

[amandabeech]

4. Urban and Keyes, "Gimme Shelter."

I love the Police, but I was blown away by this one.

[w8liftinglady]

10. I really liked the band from antartica...in addition to the fore-mentioned masters

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=11507002

[smtpgirl]

31. That was good too!!

In fact, I didn't not like anyone who performed.

Which is amazing for me, they all did well.

[burythehatchet]

11. I didn't know it was Alicia Keys until the end

her chrous gave me chills.

[amandabeech]

29. No kidding.

I had no idea that a c/w musician had the feeling to handle the guitar like that, either. His solo was equally good with the hands.

[mitchum]

57. Urban also has one of the best rockandroll guitarplayers in the world...

playing in his band now

[amandabeech]

64. Who might that be?

Is Urban trying to change his audience?

[mitchum]

92. Brad Rice...

the one with all of that black hair :)
Brad has also played with Son Volt, Ryan Adams, Whiskeytown (among others) He also has a great solo album "Karma Bed"
Urban himself is an incredibly talented musician who loves rockandroll and country in equal measure.

[amandabeech]

96. Thanks for the info. I remember the black hair.

I definitely have to check the Urban band out. I was really surprised at Urban's musicianship myself.

[smtpgirl]

21. That was a GREAT show!!

didn't know that Urban could rock like that!!

[amandabeech]

33. I'm with you.

I'm prepared to ditch my prejudices and check him out. And Alicia Keyes. They should release this one to the pop charts.

[IcyPeas]

65. Not a fan of Alicia Keyes or Keith Urban ... BUT

this one really blew me away too, most surprisingly. That's what I like about these concerts -- you end up liking people you didn't know you liked! That was a good song for them both.

[rusty charly]

5. etheridge

amazing speeches during her songs. amazing.

[burythehatchet]

6. Jack Johnson, early on this morning, was really good

I've enjoyed so many of the performances. This has been a great day.

[Blue Belle]

7. The Police!

I could watch Sting sing the phone book. :loveya:

[Rick Myers]

22. I think that's the name of their current tour.

They just can't gel... The tour is getting really BAD reviews...

[U4ikLefty]

70. Don't believe the critics...they ROCKED Dodger Stadium

2 weeks ago. They (the critics) latch onto a meme & use it to sound like they know shit about how a Police show should sound to the FANS.

...and for the record there were 50,000 sreaming/singing fans loving them & Foo Fighters (opening act).

[tridim]

8. Alisha Keys, Melissa Etheridge and Al Gore.

But really the whole thing was amazing and had a really good vibe to it.

[durrrty libby]

9. Hands down Melissa Etheridge

:loveya: :loveya: :loveya:

[ChiciB1]

12. Melissa Etheridge... Hands Down For Me!!

Loved what she had to say, she GAVE 'em HELL! I enjoyed all of it though... expect for The Smashing Pumpkins! I know lots of people love them, but I have never enjoyed their music!

Keith blew me away, it's the first time I've ever heard him sing anything but COUNTRY!

[EFerrari]

39. Melissa burned up the stage. My respect for her couldn't be

more and it quadrupled today. :)

[Hun Joro]

13. Keith Urban and Alica Keys doing Gimme Shelter

I would never have imagined those two could rock that song the way they did - just blew me away.

I haven't seen the Smashing Pumpkins' performance though, which was one I was really looking forward to.

[Maat]

48. I SO agree!

I loved Urban and Keyes; they really should release that one!

[amandabeech]

50. I'm with you. n/t

[Cha]

55. I had never heard Keith

Urban perform before and finally got to and some totally blown away, too!

WOW! How good is he! And Alicia Keyes was deadly as well!

[OzarkDem]

91. Agree, surprisingly good

I'd never heard him much either, but the two of them were a great combination.

[Decruiter]

79. All in all it was a pretty amazing day all around, but I have to agree, these two

knocked me for a loop. I looked at my SO and said K Urban is supposed to be "country" what the hey, I'd never heard of him.

He was amazing and well I'm just sorry about Alicia, I never knew. I'd been pretty snowed by Norah along with the Dixie Chicks.

I've been living in the dark.

Sorry.

[BattyDem]

14. Melissa Etheridge was the best!!!

I also loved Bon Jovi, Spinal Tap, Madonna (which surprised me because I'm not really a fan) and Keith Urban. Robert Kennedy, Jr. was great, too ... even though it wasn't a performance. :-)

[mzmolly]

24. She stood out among the many great performances today.

:hi:

[Rick Myers]

15. Alisha, John Mayer and Roger Waters

with Madonna and, of course, Melissa Etheridge!!!

[Fox Mulder]

16. Foo Fighters and Linkin Park.

Melissa Etheridge was up there too, as well as Shakira.

[smtpgirl]

26. Foo Fighters were good too!!!

I love David Grohl

[smtpgirl]

17. Police, Etheridge, Waters, Keys, Shakira

[tabatha]

18. Angélique Kidjo

and her friends from Kenya - powerful message.

[charlyvi]

19. The Floyd.

I'm very, very old.

[slick8790]

54. Yeah, they ruled.

Even though it was just Roger Waters (The best floyd IMHO is the Barret stuff). But it was awesome, and i'm probably a lot younger than you.

[Uncle Joe]

20. That's a difficult choice, there were so many good ones,

it was a grand day!:)

[Seabiscuit]

61. Indeed - bigger than Woodstock!

Hard to believe, but Al Gore just outdid himself!

[pstans]

23. Black Eyed Peas and Linkin Park

Also liked John Mayer, Jack Johnson, and Dave Matthews Band.

The final song with the Police, John Mayer, and Kanye West was great.

Was bummed I missed Damien Rice and David Gray, but caught some clips on YouTube.

[rwheeler31]

25. Melissa, will anyone show that again?.

Everyone was great.

[ChiciB1]

34. I Checked Out Bravo TV Website And Clicked On Videos & It Said

Coming Soon! I hope they make a DVD!! My recording DIDN'T record and I'm almost crying!!!

Don't know what happened!!

[ChiciB1]

27. Whatever You Do... DON'T Drink The Water!! That Was Really

great Dave stuff!!!

[Harry Monroe]

58. Should have redid it today..

...changed up the words a bit and sung "Don't Drink the Kool Aid"

[C_U_L8R]

28. Oh and I loved the little films in between too

some really neat stuff... and good for you too :-)

[LibraLiz1973]

30. Melissa & The Foo Fighters

[bigwillq]

32. Al Gore

That's what real leadership looks like. :bounce:

[Decruiter]

35. Alisha, Mayers, Police, Black Eyed Peas, but best of all hands down was on

the beach in Brazil. XuXa rocked the house, what fun it was to see everyone on the beach, such freedom, with so many young ones.

All day has been amazing.

[Cha]

52. She and her gang were

spectacular spectacular..loved her hair style, too.

[Decruiter]

81. Yep, there is another one. I'd never heard of XuXa, but yes, the whole

beach was rocking and she was a treat. It was beautiful. We did not get to see enough of Brazil, I feel cheated.

[soothsayer]

87. Shoot, I missed Xuxa! Is this stuff getting rerun anywhere?

[Botany]

36. David Gray / Babylon

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rEVefebrcw8

maybe not the biggest song or artist but I just love it ...

I put it up with some Beatles, Ripple by the dead, Landslide by Stevie or the Chicks,
Ronstat's Prisoner in Disguise, and some Mozart .... it just gets me.

BTW Seeing the real President, Al Gore was a treat too.

[SCRUBDASHRUB]

37. The Police, Roger Waters, Melissa Etheridge, Duran Duran

Macy Gray (loved the shirts her band was wearing and the message on her dress), Lenny Kravitz and Alicia Keys.

I was surprised Sheryl Crow didn't play, since she's been involved in stopping global warming (was also thinking REM and Green Day might have been invited to play; great show, though (don't get me wrong)).

[Botany]

44. I missed quite a bit .....

I heard Alicia Keys tore it up too.

Sheryl Crow's Soak up the Sun does it for me too.

Al Gore please please please run ....

Can you imagine the hate that the "evil faction" of the right wing is about to spew on
Al & this concert?

BTW Alvin Lee & 10 years after @ Woodstock "I am Going Home"

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5441406700667971626&q=ten+years+after&total=1837&start=0&num=10&so=0&type=search&plindex=0

[IcyPeas]

66. Duran Duran WERE good too

I think they still sound good after all these years - their songs still hold up.

[flyarm]

40. melissa!!!!!!!!

[Elwood P Dowd]

41. I kinda' liked John Butler Trio and Sneaky Sound System from Sydney, Australia.

I've heard most of the others before, but these two were new to me.

What a fucking day! I'm worn out switching between shows on the internet and watching them on television....an overdose of good music.


:toast:

[mzmolly]

42. Tough time choosing. Mellissa E stood out, but John Mayer is now a must have.

I don't currently own any of his music, but I intend to now. :hi:

[AZBlue]

71. Did he play "Waiting on the World to Change"?

I missed his set and am honestly hoping he didn't. I just think it's inappropriate given the theme of the day (the song's all about the generation that could do something but won't). I know it's a top ten song, but still, just my personal opinion that it would have been better to not play it.

Plus, I'll admit: that song is a pet peeve of mine. It sort of sums of the bad attitude I see in the younger generation today.

But, he's very good and gives a great performance - don't get me wrong on that! Didn't mean to come down on him in general! :)

[ClassWarfare2008]

78. He did play it, BUT he changed the lyric to "We're NOT waiting for the world to change"

He said "a year of waiting (since he wrote the song) was more than enough"

[AZBlue]

100. Sweet! I love that!!

Good for him!

[OrangeCountyDemocrat]

43. Nanuet?

The band that played on the ice in Antarctica to 17 people.

[ChiciB1]

45. Weird... I Remembered It Earlier... Nanatuka Or Something Like That!

Oh, I can get it, I posted right after I heard them!

[ChiciB1]

46. It Was Nanatuk... I Was Close The First Time!

The WHOLE thing was GREAT and everyone was GREAT... except as I said before The Smashing Pumpkins.

I just don't like their music, and I know they won awards before too! It's just me!

[assclown_bush]

47. Al Gore should get an Oscar for acting more presidential than he did in 2000.

Overall though, I am not one for these "We are the world" type of events.

[Generic Brad]

49. Madonna

Love her new look, her guitar playing, her energy. She stole the show in my opinion.

[texastoast]

53. She was phenom!

I gotta hear more. Incredible!

[FourScore]

69. I agree, but she went one song too long...

She should have left us wanting more. Instead, I was ready for her to leave the stage by the time the last song was over.

[AZBlue]

73. Oh, I'm never ready for her to leave the stage, LOL.

[FourScore]

75. She's DEFINTELY still got it... n/t

[Cha]

51. John Waters, Sting,

Keith Urban, John Mayer, Kanye West..and I'm lookin' forward to catching what I missed tomorrow.

[slick8790]

56. I can't believe no one's mentioned Cat Stevens!!

It's great to see him perform, he's one of my favorites. Roger Waters and the Police were good of course, and I liked James Blunt a surprising amount too.

[wildflowergardener]

67. Cat Stevens

Has anyone found a recording of him performing online? I've been trying to find it all day - never seem to tune into the show at the right time. I don't know if there is any channel to record the germany show on so I can watch him.

Meg

[BigBearJohn]

84. see here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tNXwYWFYus

[The Wielding Truth]

95. Thanks,BigBearJohn. I'm cryin'. n/t

[wildflowergardener]

101. Thanks

I kept tuning into the MSNBC hamburg show online off and on all evening and finally managed to see it.

Meg

[ClassWarfare2008]

80. No Cat Stevens on Bravo either.

Now that they have finished their main coverage (ending with the Police, of course) they're running a "best of" show, but it's the same stuff they already played more than once over the course of the day.

If a TV station is going to be on the air 18 hours with this shit, why are they repeating ANYTHING, and leaving out great performances? :(

[jumptheshadow]

59. Etheridge and Bon Jovi

I always had thought of Bon Jovi as lightweight but he sure puts on a good show.

[Seabiscuit]

60. Ethridge, Bon Jovi, Pink Floyd, Madonna, Alisha Keys, Cat Stevens

in no particular order.

[NobleCynic]

62. Roger Waters and the Foo Fighters

Jack Johnson wasn't bad either.

[redacted]

68. Melissa Etheridge

[blogslut]

72. I missed a lot of it

But I have a feeling that this concurrent concert was designed to linger for weeks after the fact. People will be viewing clips of performances they missed. I saw many acts but hardly all of them.

It was great to see Crowded House again. They helped set the tone in the beginning very well. Watching Roger Waters and company was oh so delicious. Save Our Sausage! The Police were so fine. I absolutely loved the Jam with them, John Mayer and Kanye West. The film with the shopkeeper, the lady customer and the plastic bags was hilarious. The one with the children talking made me bawl my eyes out.

I don't know about you folk but I will be enjoying this concert for the next month. Live Earth lives!

[AZBlue]

74. Melissa Etheridge, Foo Fighters and Madonna.

[tkmorris]

77. Who was that doing "What a Wonderful World"?

It was at the end of one of the Bravo broadcasts. I didn't recognize the guy.

[ClassWarfare2008]

82. There's no question that Melissa Etheridge stole the show

And I'm sure GE would love to make that footage disappear.

Other greats: The Police, Roger Waters, Keith Urban & Alisha Keys, and President Gore!

[redacted]

102. Exactly. Melissa Etheridge was the event's showstopper.

[aaronbees]

83. Alicia Keys and Foo Fighters

Both brought great, positive energy to the event. And they just freakin' rock.

[quispquake]

85. There were lots of good acts...

The three that stuck out for us most (we were streaming, so we checked out ALL the concerts when we could), were 12 Girl Band out of China, Yellow Magic Orchestra out of Japan, and Melissa Etheridge here in NYC...we enjoyed the whole show immensely, and were happy to see so many different types of bands...a GREAT show!!!

[Labors of Hercules]

86. Watch any act you want now on liveearth.msn.com! nt

[u2spirit]

88. Of what I saw

Keith Urban "stupid boy", Snow Patrol "Chasing cars". I missed several of my favorite bands so that is all I have to go on.

[Sparkly]

90. Didn't see that much, but Alicia Keys singing "Mercy Mercy Me." nt

[Kajsa]

93. The Foo Fighters and Lenny Kravitz.

And I liked the band from Antarctica,
sorry- I forgot their name.

It was hard to pick just two- I liked most
of the artists.

It was a great evening!

[elehhhhna]

94. FooS ROCKED OUT!

[Kajsa]

97. No kidding!

I was on my feet, dancing all across the
livingroom!!

They really kicked it out of the stratosphere!

:hi:

[Kajsa]

98. Nanutak- that was their name.

It can't be easy putting this together on
on the frozen tundra.

http://entimg.msn.com/i/ExperienceData/p1-7/us/x.htm?sh=LiveEarth&ep=le_other&ch=0


:applause:

[Hayabusa]

99. My 3 picks

In no particular order

Smashing Pumpkins
Keith Urban & Alicia Key's cover of Gimme Shelter
Roger Waters and his band playing almost the entire second half of DSotM and Happiest Days of our Lives/Another Brick in the Wall pt. 2.
