Me too.
George Michael just said "they now have mics on the crowd"
Seems the Beeb are at fault for making this seem flat all day - some fantastic performances but not having mics on the crowd has made it feel like no more than a long compilation CD in my living room for most of the day.
Hmm - so is George Michael now a sound supervisor???
I very much doubt they've gone round and rigged extra mics during the concert. I suspect it is more a case of the crowd getting louder - and a tweak being made to the balance...
I think it is more a case of Robbie, Madonna and Peter Kay actually WORKING the crowd...
(There are also the issues that the interaction between crowd FX mics and PA delay have to be accommodated)

Good on ya! I think many thousands of parents will agree. It would be interesting to hear whether the BBC actually anticipated swearing and, if not, why? I would have expected it.
Regardless of whether other people mind swearing and what the concert is for, I think it's an indisputable fact that it was innappropriate language for broadcast at teatime on Saturday.
Sad as it is, many children do not instantly burn when they here a few naughty words. I'm sure their parents say alot worse in front of their kids. It's common sense, and indeed you've said it yourself - you expected swearing. It's a live event, anything can happen. So if you expected it, then so should all the other people in the country. I hate the way people are so annoyed by a few words on television that are before the watershed. 'OOOOO it's such a big deal' - and then people have the cheek to blame the BBC! They're broadcasting a live event!
As I said, it's a LIVE programme where ANYTHING can happen. If you don't want to hear the odd swear word (and don't tell me you were expecting Snoop dogg not to swear!?) then DON'T WATCH.
On another note: I wonder how people are going to get home as the concert has over-ran by a fair amount!
I wonder if train companies will lay on special trains or whatever? And the tube as well - surely the last services are due soon?
I saw a little notice on the big screens a while ago saying something like 'this concert will now finish at 11pm, please make sure you can still get home!'

Sorry, but I don't care what this concert is all about - I *WILL NOT* allow my 3 year old and 5 year old to hear that sort of language on TV at their age at 6:30PM!
Maybe the Beeb should have taken a more responsible attitude, and introduced a stream on BBCi that was 30 seconds behind and had the offensive words bleeped out, for a family audience?
Swearing is not big, not clever, and certainly not funny.
That's all I'm going to say on the matter. I don't care if anyone disagrees with me. That's my standpoint in my house and that's the end of it.

I didn't watch it, but not for the swearing, for the hypocrisy. My point was though, if the BBC did expect swearing, why did they not introduce a time delay? If Channel 4 can act responsibly and can do it for Big Brother coverage, then surely the BBC could have done it.
Don't misunderstand me. Swearing doesn't bother me, I swear all the time, although I know when it's not appropriate. I mearly sympathise with those that it does bother.

I think it just adds to the whole kind of excitement today of watching something that's actually happening AT THAT EXACT MOMENT.. With Party In The Park they appear to be live, but play recordings of the performances and it doesn't quite give the same effect.
I say good on the BBC for going fully live.

I doubt it very much, it'll be hundreds of people kipping down outside Kings Cross or wherever.
The whole swearing thing has been quite surreal. For about an hour between 6pm and 7pm it was like a free for all but then after that time, even now after the watershed there's been very little!
People saying it's better live, how do we know it is live, it may be 10 seconds delayed but they chose not to employ anyone to censor anything. The radio style time signal beeping 2pm at about 2.03pm was a bit strange as well!
