Live Earth Concert

My friend Yvonne was able to lay her hands on tickets to the Live Earth concert at Wembley Stadium for herself, Neil, Fiona and I. Man it was awesome! Well over 70,000 people, and top bands like Genesis, Duran Duran, The Black Eyed Peas, Metallica, The Beastie Boys...
I'm sure I will never go to anything like it again.

The standouts for me were Snow Patrol - who completely rocked the place, despite their slow ballady-type songs, and the Foo Fighters. Just brilliant. Paolo Nuttini was a disappoinment, as I love him, but he was quite incomprehensible (ok, so he is scottish, but that's no excuse) and he didn't sing my favourite song of his, New Shoes. The only person I didn't see was James Blunt, who is the musical equivalent of nails on a blackboard to me. The only thing I would suggest is that next time, have less artists so they can perform for longer. You'd just start to get into it and they'd finish.
Ah, the usual beer cup chain...
