JACKSON URGED TO DONATE LIVE 8 PROFITS

MICHAEL JACKSON is being urged to donate his profits from the historic Live 8 concerts, which otherwise could clear much of his financial debt, to charity.

The THRILLER star, who was acquitted of child molestation charges last month (JUN05), owns the rights to all THE BEATLES songs.

Last weekend (02JUL05), former Beatle SIR PAUL McCARTNEY played SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND, GET BACK, DRIVE MY CAR, HELTER SKELTER, THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD and HEY JUDE at the London leg of Live 8.

Since the concert, sales of Beatles songs have soared, with millions of fans downloading the live version of Sgt Pepper's which McCartney performed with U2.

Experts believe Jackson's profits from Live 8 could be enough to clear most of his considerable financial debt.

But yesterday (09JUL05), as bands across the world pledged all their profits from increased album sales and downloads to Live 8, Jackson was urged to give up any gains too.

A source says, "Even though the profits could be huge for Jackson, we hope he could give the money to Live 8."

STARR SLAMS McCARTNEY FOR NOT INVITING HIM TO LIVE 8

Ex-BEATLE RINGO STARR has hit out at former bandmate SIR PAUL McCARTNEY for not asking him to play the drums at London's historic Live 8 concert last weekend (02JUL05).

McCartney opened the star-studded gig in Hyde Park with SGT PEPPER'S LONELY HEARTS CLUB BAND alongside U2, and closed it with classic Beatles tracks GET BACK, DRIVE MY CAR, HELTER SKELTER, THE LONG AND WINDING ROAD and HEY JUDE.

Starr is furious he was not asked to play the drums on the songs, as he and McCartney are the only surviving Beatles.

Starr fumes, "I was never asked to do it, he didn't ask me. It's too late now - it's disappointing.

"But I would have only done it if I'd been able to wear my Sgt Pepper suit."

Starr and McCartney have not performed together since a tribute to late band member GEORGE HARRISON in 2002.

Почитал мнения о концерте высказанные в теме за последнюю неделю. Согласен, что гвоздем концерта стали Флойд. Что касается голоса Уотерса – не следует расстраиваться. Для официального релиза голос будет перепет. Примеров я уже имел много. Вспомните концерт Party At The Palace. Я писал прямую трансляцию. Ухо сразу резанул момент, когда Пол взял неправильно аккорд. Ну и что? Когда вышел ДВД этого момента вы не найдете. Очень удачно подчистили. Да и композиция Freedom была тоже перепета.
Вспомнил момент, когда читал интервью с Флойдами. Гилмора спрашивали про репетицию к LIVE 8. Он как-то обмолвился, что самым сонным был Мэйсон. Да и Мэйсон сам об этом говорит, что постоянно тормозит. А вспомнил этот момент сейчас потому, что при вступлении на Money Мэйсон на LIVE 8 снова заснул. Он пропустил первый удар. Поднимите запись… уверен, что на официальном релизе и этот момент подчистят.

Bob Geldof brought to tears by Paul at Live 8

Sir Bob Geldof was brought to tears after watching Sir Paul McCartney and Bono's opening duet at last Saturday's Live 8 concert in London. The Live Aid co-organizer was overwhelmed by the opening rendition of The Beatles' classic "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," because it signaled the importance of the one-off event in aid to end poverty in Africa.

Geldof says, "When Bono and Paul McCartney sang, all that promise of rock and roll was made concrete on this stage at that moment. Everyone was in tears - not believing they were here. It's the biggest cultural event ever. The President of the United States has been watching all day, the government ministers are here. This won't happen again. It's bigger than the Olympics."

TAYLOR CONGRATULATES WILLIAMS ON LIVE 8 TRIUMPH

QUEEN drummer ROGER TAYLOR has praised ROBBIE WILLIAMS for giving the best performance of the day at the London leg of Live 8 earlier this month (JUL05).

Taylor also gave Williams the ultimate compliment, saying his showmanship would even have impressed late Queen frontman FREDDIE MERCURY.

Taylor says, "Robbie was great. Robbie was one of the few who involved the crowd and I felt there wasn't quite enough of that, but the concert itself was a great achievement."

GELDOF LOVED FLOYD REUNION DESPITE DISLIKING THEIR MUSIC

SIR BOB GELDOF experienced mixed emotions when rock legends PINK FLOYD agreed to reform for Live 8 earlier this month (JUL05) - he was ecstatic they agreed to play even though he hates their music.

Geldof realised the significance of his coup at persuading the prog rock veterans to regroup for the London leg of the poverty awareness raising extravaganza.

But he admits he's no fan of the WISH YOU WERE HERE band's noodling music.

Geldof recalls, "I said, 'You've made an old man very happy. Not that I can stand you...'

"I never really liked their music."

Sir Paul's Beatles wish

SIR PAUL McCARTNEY has revealed that if John Lennon and George Harrison were still alive, the Beatles might have got back together to play Live 8.

Macca said that despite the arguments that led them to break up in 1970, the Fab Four could well have followed in Pink Floyd's footsteps by reforming for the cause of tackling global poverty.

Sadly John was shot dead in 1980 and George passed away in 2001, after a long battle with cancer.

But Paul insists that their political motivations meant, had they been alive, they would have wanted to perform at Live 8.

He told Word magazine: "There was talking of it (reforming), yeah, from time to time (in the 1970s).

"But again it's the same thing - why? We said: 'We've come full circle. We have a body of work that stands on its own. Why spoil it?'

"It was just talk. It never got that serious.

"But the interesting thing is that, had it have been now, it might have happened, but unfortunately there's only two of us left.

"You can't imagine John or George, with their view of charity and politics, saying: 'This Live 8 isn't a good idea.'

"That's the strongest reason for that sort of thing."

раз так, почему же на Live 8 не было Ринго...

Не знаю, писал ли кто об этом до меня, или нет - лень просматривать 32 страницы. В общем так или иначе - ССЫЛКИ НА ВИДЕО ВСЕХ ВЫСТУПЛЕНИЙ В ЛОНДОНЕ, ТОРОНТО, ФИЛАДЕЛЬФИИ, БЕРЛИНЕ, ПАРИЖЕ И РИМЕ (и еще с некоторых других) лежат здесь:

Пока это дело еще работает. Качество вполне смотрибельное, а-ля videocd (320x240, формат MOV). Каждый клип весит в среднем мегабайт 60. Сам уже качаю :-)

P.S.
Может кто из этого новость сочинит? В эту тему, боюсь, не все заглядывают, из тех, кому это может быть интересно...

В медиа-архиве - выступление Pink Floyd на Live 8 в mp3 (прикреплено к теме “Pink Floyd”).

Enjoy!

Да можно сочинить (если есть содержание - обращайся, запосчу новость без проблем), только лучше бы ещё каких-то ссылок, на другие материалы. А то видео мягко скажем не все могут скачать, если будут ещё ссылки на фото и mp3, то тогда это будет уже содержание. А тех, кто видео сливать как я может в неограниченных количествах, таких я думаю не так много...

2Nicky de Gree:
А Стинг у тебя есть?
