Out of that entire lineup there is only 4 bands I'd pay money to see.

BTW What the fuck has Bob Geldof ever done musically? The Boomtown Rats were a pile of shit.



Also all these artists are rich. If they all took one million out of their earnings the Africans would be rolling in food and there would be no need for this waste of time concert.

The UK lineup rocks. I'd fly there just for that show.

I'd take Razorlight off that list. They sucked live.

[PrimeX]

I'd take Snow Patrol off that list. Tylenol PM works deece with a few beers.

I think Keane has the same effect.

Nevermind. Maybe I wouldn't want to go to that show. :)

[Bizzarofelice]

I'd go see the Long Winters play St. Louis if they weren't a mere opening band for Keane. Damned expensive show.

[Donovan]

Gordon Lightfoot is about the only artist on the Canadian bill I'd like to see, although Blue Rodeo can put on a good show too.

[Louis Cyphre]

WTF??

No Dokken?

OUTRAGE!!!!!

[Rack Fu]

Isn't Yannick Noah a tennis player?

[The Assassin]

Isn't Yannick Noah a tennis player?

Tennis pro,model,musician etc.

[Dinsdale]

* A-ha

Was A Flock Of Seagulls all booked up or something?

And I'd sit through all kinds of horrid bullshit to see Stevie Wonder. It'd be better if they just opened the show with him, so I could head for higher ground afterwards.

I'd probably hang out for DMB to hit on all the college chicks who think he's the bee's knees. Truth be told, his faster-tempo tunes aren't too bad. When he thinks he's a balladeer is when things get sketchy.

dito!

I've seen Keane, and they sound great live! Als you have to catch the Cure at least once in your life, awesome! I missed out on the Killers a few months ago here, I'll be sure to see them next time around. Annie Lenox would be something to listen too. I've always thought she has one of the most beautiful voices. Pink Floyd... Will they have red lights and a Taco Bell stand in the audience?

Fuck Madonna, I'd go take a shit and make it into the shape od Seanpenn and throw it ather on stage.

[patsy stone]

Blasphemy!

[MuchoBulls]

I'd second that. Just going to see a reunited Pink Floyd would be worth it.

* IN for Pink Floyd if they promised limit their setlist to Meddle, Wish You Were Here, and Animals

[MgoBlue-LightSpecial]

Not that I really give a shit or anything, but...

why isn't The Who on that list? I saw them playing "We Don't Get Fooled Again" when flipping through the channels during that charade. I watched the remainder of that song and then mashed the remote until I got to the National Geographic Channel.
