<br>I totally agree with you!! It is very similar to the remaking of Woodstock. Somethings, no matter how hard it is for us to let go, you just can't go around and redo an original event! It just can't happen!
[/quote]I certainly concur, this has all the makings of a Woodstock II.
I dunno, seems like the organizers have this naive (or arrogant) notion that all the synergy of the original event will somehow reconstitute itself and be present for the 'Sequel'.
You may be able to pull this kind of stuff with cinema but large scale live entertainment events have countless variables that cannot be forcibly permutated into a 'successful outcome'.
Were's the the 'Live 8' version of the 'DTKIC' music & video release that preceded and subsequently gave birth to the original Live Aid concert event?

Moscow is now a venue, with the Pet Shop Boys headlining!

I would post the link to the bbc news but I haven't been able to copy things onto the NWO for days now. Is it just me?

Supposedly, today (July 9) VH-1 and MTV will broadcast 10 hours of commercial free (and hopefully VJ schtick-free) concert footage. VH-1 will show music that will appeal to "older" audiences, 10AM-3PM EST, while MTV will broadcast for "younger" viewers, 3PM-8PM EST. Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd and U2 will be included in both segments.
