Live 8 is over and now it's all down to the politicians to make decisions that could change the world at the G8 Summit later this week (begs06JUL05), but didn't the rockers, rappers and pop stars do well?
Ten cities cross the world staged amazing shows - from Tokyo, Japan to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania - but just who made their mark on the global radio show?
Contactmusic.com's editors and writers worked tirelessly over the weekend, checking out every Live 8 performance on Saturday (02JUL05).
So, before you hit the download button and legally record a host of performances that didn't matter, this is Contactmusic.com's top 10 of Live 8 performances.
We're all agreed that London served up the best show, with PINK FLOYD's historic reunion easily topping the list. Here's who else we thought made a big difference at Live 8:
1: PINK FLOYD in London
2: THE WHO in London
3: SIR PAUL McCARTNEY in London
4: GREEN DAY in Berlin
5: COLDPLAY in London
6: MADONNA in London

| In the live8 performances on Saturday. I thought Green Day were the best.They are a true band. True performers. Awesome live.Although I agree that they perhaps should not have said the F-word on live TV I think Billie's also really punky-cute, cares about the world. I respect them for standing by the cause and saying what needs to be said to the politicians in their song American Idiot (Not directed at just the USA) The bands drummer Tre Cool said "We just say what we think needs to be said. Let the censors block out what they think needs to be blocked out" | ||
