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!
I think it is VERY likely that the Hyde Park stuff was live - why bother to make life more complex by delaying it for no reason.
As for the opening at 1403 - I think the simple answer is that the "Pips" were part of the opening VT - which ran later than 1400?
Yes, if it had been delayed Big ben would have shown 2:00 and not 2:03

Great Atmosphere, Big treat for me was to see The Who!
Ricky Gervais was brilliant

I thought Coldplay were great, but I would saythat cos I'm a big fan. Fix You is a quality song...
Amusing to see the subtitling last night, especially in the U.S; apparently the acts are "Lincoln"Park and "Conway" West.

Pretty much!
Re: Ricky Gervais. Richard Curtis just said it wasn't the time to make gags out of the issue and the gag about Tony Blair and George Bush increasing aid was a cheap and inappropriate. Davina thought he was joking at first, but it didn't seem to be the case!

I never saw much of the concert but is it true that Jonathan Ross's interviews were shown instead of the video clips that the crowd saw? That really is what Live 8 was all about, highlighting poverty, and it seems this was pushed to one side.
