I'm watching it at the moment. Some background stuff to criticize - but much to recommend.

After this there will be few young people in the W*st with an excuse for ignorance.

I'm quite amazed actually that such a 'subversive' event could take place...

Still watching - I have to say that the commercial creative world have been a bunch of wankers, but tonight they redeemed themselves.

This is the best television I have ever watched. The message was fantastic, the execution brilliant (mostly), but most of all - I am sure enough of the message got through to make a difference to people who can make a difference.

As a logistics exercise it was phenomenal. Yes, it consumes a lot of energy - but it is energy that is a great investment in the future. I am convinced that this will save thousands or millions times more energy than it cost.

From Live Earth website

A landmark audience of viewers from around the world has united at www.LiveEarth.MSN.com to experience the excitement of today's Live Earth concerts and to confront the threat of global warming. As of 3:00 p.m. EDT, MSN had received a total of more than 10 million video streams and has the most simultaneous viewers of any online concert ever.

10 million people?  Just from one web-cast site?  

Wow.

Hey, I clicked on the MSN link and ended up watching an advert by Chevy.

from the website, emphasis added

Live Earth marks the beginning of a multi-year campaign led by the Alliance for Climate Protection, The Climate Group and other international organizations to drive individuals, corporations and governments to take action to solve global warming. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore is the Chair of the Alliance and Partner of Live Earth.

Multi-year campaign?

The Pepsi Company as a sponsor?

This is all too strange.
