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?

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"

An awesome thing is LIVE8. Here in Lithuania we only saw the first part yesterday and we'll see the second tomorrow. I can't wait for Pink Floyd, I'm glad they're no.1. Though Pete was awesome too <3
