If anyone cares, you can listen in here

I'm not sure when Pink Floyd is on, but I think Paul McCartney was already on.

When I'm walkin' I strut my stuff, man I'm so strung out
I'm high as a kite I just might stop to check you out
Let me go on like I blister in the sun,
Let me go on big hands I know you're the one
Body and beats I stain my sheets I don't even know why
my girlfriend she's at the end she is starting to cry
Let me go on like I blister in the sun,
Let me go on big hands I know you're the one

Times seem to be subject to change, they seem to have a lot of celebrities coming onto the main hyde park stage inbetween acts....

EDIT: based on the schedule at the bbc site its 10 mins or so late, annie lennox was due to come on at 5:21pm gmt she has just come on the stage now at 5:38pm GMT.

Well, The Who are about to come on in a minute, after that should be Pink Floyd and then finally Paul McCartney joined on stage by George Michael and Mick Jagger.

By following the link provided by AJ, and selecting in the city category London, you can view it online. Certainly looking forward to seeing the original line up of the Floyd :)

I didn't even know The Who were playing.

My internet has been down all day, and I had to watch MTV in order to see any of it  :cuss:

I missed the Green Day performance in Berlin, but I saw them show some clips of it.  They were as cool as ever (they played "We are the Champions" as a tribute to Queen who was in the original Live Aid concert).

MTV sucks, so they decided to cut out most of "Who are you" so they could introduce The Who.  ???
But Won't Get Fooled Again was still cool to watch.

Finally, Pink Floyd was great.  Nothing more needs to be said.

London definately had the best show by far (Paul McCartney, The Who, U2, and Pink Floyd).  I can't think of who Philadelphia had that was anything special (Bon Jovi and Linkin Park are the only ones I can think of off the top of my head).

But, overall, it was a great show and I hope that it helps to achieve their goal.

Afterwards, I watched Saving Private Ryan (first time I saw it as well ;D ).

way to go Dave, who btw did not look especially emotive during their tiny set- which was absolutly interstellar!!!

I was shedding tear or most extreame joy at hearing/seeing the 4 of them make music

I have a modicum of hope that they would reunite, but unfortunately I do not think that they would.

Don't give it up
