They're going to broadcast all the concerts on the official Live Earth Website. But I'm pretty sure its going to be on VH1, and possibly MTV in the US.

Out of that line-up, I really like the US show the best. Second being the UK one. I wish I could go, Smashing Pumpkins, John Mayer, and The Police would be one of the best concerts evar. Damn.

I saw it on today and thought it was Earth Day XD

But by the time I actually started watching all the good bands were gone. The United Kingdom list looked pretty cool, wish I'd seen that. So far only band I've seen that I like (sorta) is Wolfmother and now realize they sound horrible live. But I only like two of their songs anyway. There's still like 3 hours left 0_0 Pretty damn long concert. Hope to see something good.

I hate how they're showing the Japanese concert here in the US, but are only showing Linkin Park and Rhianna, the pretty much only two non-Asians.

I know that was the only thing I was watching. I used to like Linkin Park but now they're new songs make me kinda hate them. And they didn't sound too good live for some of their songs. I watched a bit of Rihanna,

If your in the US, Live Earth is on now, LIVE. And you didn't miss anything from the NY show if your just reading this. Right now, Ludacris (or however you spell his name) is on now. After a few more John Mayer will be on!

Also, Smashing Pumpkins will be on at 9:00PM EST (they're at the NY show). Live Earth can be watched from liveearth.msn.com, or on the channel "Bravo" (in the US).

UK got all the good people :(

Excpet John Mayer.

Oh and LOL @ Snoop Dogg in Germany.

No way did the UK get ALL the good people! We got John Mayer (who just played, fucking brilliant), The Police, The Smashing Pumpkins, and ummm, I guess Dave Matthews Band!

UK had an awesome bill though.

I think this is funny, they are flying artists all over the world in jet airplanes to save the environment.

Haha sooo true! Just realized that. They probably harmed the Earth more than they saved it.

I missed a lot of the good stuff that was in NY and London as well. :( I was looking forward to Smashing Pumpkins, The Police, Metallica and The Chili Peppers but missed all of 'em. All I got to see was a very disappointing and freaky Wolfmother, some weird Japanese bands, Linkin Park and Rihanna. :S
