message: Is it just me or are those criticisms ubiquitous to any aid/charitable organization?  Also, Live 8 is about promoting awareness (to things like debt cancellation and fair trade) NOT raising aid money.... Hence the free shows
A more realistic and potential problem I do see is scalpers hoarding all the lottery tickets and selling them on eBay, on site, etc....--Madchester 19:14, 1 June 2005 (UTC)

text: More specific quotes are needed in this section definitely. Is there another article somewhere which covers the general debate between pro-charity and anti-charity parties when it comes to developing countries? If so, this should be cited to avoid having to restate all the arguments every time there is a charity event.  If not we will have to insert a Counter-criticisms section for balance.

thread_title: Criticism: Ethnicity of performers

message: Not meaning to nit-pick, but are these strictly charity concerts if they are not to raise money? I know that charitable organisations are involved and I don't quite know what else to call them but this is of a different order of event than Live Aid as it is directly targetting world leaders and politicians rather than the population at large. They are kind of political pressure rallies with music. Btljs — Preceding undated comment added 13:39, 3 June 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: (Please use the "signature" button to sign edits to talk pages, with a timestamp.) I think "charity" is perhaps slightly less accurate than "activism".

message: The fact that Kanye West stated that "man-made diseases placed in African communities" is not necessarily a reference to the theory that AIDS was created to exterminate African populations. There is another theory that AIDS was created in the small pox? vaccine, since it was created with monkeys' kidneys that were infected with the SIV virus that eventually transferred to humans. This theory is well developed in the movie "Origins of AIDS". The fact that the reference is ambiguous, and that only one is stated in this article, I argue, makes for a not-neutral POV. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.68.236.142 (talk) 23:26, 4 February 2006 (UTC)

need to be rewritten. Also 
"The MTV and VH1 Live 8 broadcasts were a complete betrayal of the foundations upon which the networks were built. It was a far cry from the comparative coverage of Live Aid, which aired live from the London opening to the Philadephia close."

message: Don't you people think that it's totally unnecessary - not to mention a bit of an exaggeration - to name the Roger Waters appearance with Pink Floyd "one of the most remarkable incidents of modern music history"? Memorable, widely anticipated, yes; "one of the most remarkable incidents  of modern music history" sounds like mere POV. I've removed it. If someone opposes to it, we can rediscuss it here, though. I also edited the reference to The Who reprising their Live Aid performance, by playing Who Are You and Won't Get Fooled Again, since the former had not been played 20 years before - when the band did a 4-song performance, by the way, not merely two, like in 2005.
Now, another edit that I wish I had done, but preferred not to, since it would mean the deletion of an entire section of the article (albeit a very short one): don't you think that the lack of response of the Roman crowd to Duran Duran is hardly a memorable moment, worthy of mentioning here? By definition, memorable should imply something to be remembered (generally in a positive light), not something that people weren't even paying attention to at the time it happened. Mentioning the controversial appearance by Pete Doherty is one thing, since it generated a lot of talk, but Duran Duran seem to be entirely out of context here. I'm for removing the whole mention to Rome in this section, but preferred to post here first, to see some of the opinions about it.

message: Hi there, this Flickr user has been very helpful and let me use some of his Pink Floyd images for an article I'm writing.  I thought I'd post his page here, in case anyone else was interested:
