Re: Live earth

tickets are over ?100 on e-bay for the london gig, anyone know how much they were originally? Nice lineup, but its kinda pointless to put on such a big gig to raise awareness..

i mean its all about climate change right? but most of the artists playing the UK gig are yanks, more than likely all flown over in their private jets, and i bet the carbon footprint of Wembley is huge when all the lights and speakers are running.

UK gig should be full of UK artists, arriving by public transport IMO

Would have been better to get all the artists to plant some trees or work at recycling plants for a day.
