Pink Floyd at Live 8
Pretty much watched the whole London concert with a few skips over to the Philadelphia, Berlin, or Paris feeds. BBC was great in the coverage they had. From what I'm reading online about how MTV butchered the telecast of Live 8, I'm very, very glad I wasn't trying to watch it back in the states.
The highlight for me was seeing Pink Floyd reunite last night. I saw the Rogerless version of the Floyd back in 1994 and it is still the best concert I've ever seen. Saw Roger Waters on his own a few years ago, and while that show didnt' come close to the 3/4 Pink Floyd of the early 90's, it still was better than 95% of the crap out on tour now. But from what I've read, MTV cut away from the Pink Floyd set last night to show some VJ talking and then went to commercials. If anyone reading this still thinks MTV is worth watching, that should settle the issue once and for all. MTV hasn't been worth watching for over a decade, and the fact that a "music" channel cuts away from one of the biggest moments in music history says it all.
Here are some of the comments posted on Fark in their Live 8 message board last night right when MTV decided the "M" stands for Money if not music.

Not a Floyd fan. Never seen them play before.But I must say I'm impressed. They sound damn good...especially the dude who's playing the guitar solos and singing. I'm guessing that's Gilmour.
Oh good. The veejays are now talking over Comfortably Numb. Thanks so much for that.

You have to be f'ing kidding me.The only possible explanation for this is that they can't legally show the whole set.

Unbelievable. Maybe the greatest rock and roll moment of the last 15-20 years, and they completely fark it all up. Unbelievable.
