Notwithstanding, after organising the event, Geldof said: "This is non Alive Assist ii.

Divide rally and anti-poverty protest in Edinburgh [edit]

On 2 July, the same day every bit the Live 8 concerts, a rally and protestation march was held in key Edinburgh, the nearest major city to the Gleneagles venue for the G8 conference later that week. This protestation was organised by the Make Poverty History coalition as office of a series of events ahead of the G8 conference,^[22] and had already been planned before the declaration of Alive eight.

An estimated 225,000 people took part, making it the largest ever protestation in Scotland^[22] and the largest always anti-poverty protest in the Great britain.

Notable absences [edit]

In the weeks leading up to Live 8, British newspaper Daily Mirror began a petition, garnering back up for British stone ring Condition Quo to play at the event. Originally offered a 6pm slot, the band already had commitments in Ireland and therefore requested an earlier slot. Their request was rejected by the organisers as there were no available slots.^[23]

In that location were speculations by the press that English girl grouping the Spice Girls would reunite for a Live 8 performance, in what would have been their commencement advent equally a v-slice since May 1998.^[24] At the Live eight launch in May, Bob Geldof confirmed that organisers were trying to get the group to reform for the issue. Ultimately, the Live eight reunion did not materialise due to a holdout past Spice Girl Mel B.^{[25] [26]} During the Hyde Park concert, British comedian Peter Kay jokingly introduced the Spice Girls while he was introducing The Who.^[iii]

English rock band Haven also declined to participate in the concerts every bit they were performing at the City of Manchester Stadium the same evening and the day after. Noel Gallagher later expressed disapproval that musicians were expected to rally at the convenience of Geldof.^[27] Gallagher was also vocally sceptical about the bear upon of Live eight, citing his belief that rock stars did not have every bit much influence over world leaders as the Live 8 organisers may believe.^[28]

English rock band Radiohead also turned down an offering to play at the event.^[29]

Criticism [edit]

Lack of racially diverse performers [edit]

The original lineup for the Hyde Park concert faced criticism for having only one non-white creative person – Mariah Carey.^[thirty] Blur and Gorillaz frontman Damon Albarn called the lack of blackness performers the organisers' "greatest oversight",^[31] while Senegalese musician Baaba Maal wrote in The Independent: "I practice experience it's very patronising as an African creative person that more than of usa aren't involved."^[30]

Live 8 organisers later on added British R&B vocaliser Ms. Dynamite, Us rapper Snoop Dogg and Senegalese vocalist Youssou N'Bleak to the Hyde Park lineup in response to the criticism. Northward'Dour was the only major African artist scheduled to perform at any of the v main concerts. A Live 8 spokesman said that a number of black performers had been approached but were non available to participate^[xxx] and that the event would nonetheless feature a "big urban element".^[32] Organisers also argued that in that location were few black British artists who could concenter a large global audience, stating that Geldof's intention was to aim for the biggest global stars to ensure media attention and a large television audience.^[30] A Live viii concert in Johannesburg and an "Africa Calling" concert featuring an entirely African lineup at the Eden Projection in Cornwall, were organised following the criticisms.^[33]

Motives and controversy [edit]

Geldof'due south motives for organising Live viii were questioned. TV and radio presenter Andy Kershaw directed criticisms at Geldof and the motives for Live 8, saying: "I am coming, reluctantly, to the conclusion that Live 8 is equally much to do with Geldof showing off his ability to push button around presidents and prime ministers as with pointing out the potential of Africa. Indeed, Geldof appears not to exist interested in Africa'due south strengths, just in an Africa on its knees."^[34] Rashod Ollison of The Baltimore Sun echoed Kershaw'due south criticisms, calling the event a "ravenous orgy of celebrity ego trips".^[35] Geldof'due south approach, of pressuring G8 leaders to improve assistance, forgive debt and ease trade restrictions in Africa, was questioned by John O'Shea, principal executive of international aid charity Goal. O'Shea was concerned that "Alive 8 overlooked the need to tackle Africa's decadent regimes and establish a UN peacekeeping regular army in Darfur, the Congo and northern Uganda."^[8]

The organisers were criticised for using Africa to revive the careers of ageing rock stars more than about helping the poor in Africa.^[8] The lineup for the Canada Live 8 concert in detail, was criticised for being "out of touch on" and filled with "musical has-beens".^[36]

For the Edinburgh concert, Geldof called for children to "give up domicile and school for a calendar week" to join supporters in a march (entitled The Long Walk to Justice) on 6 July, the start of the G8 tiptop, which drew the ire of teachers and local residents.^[8] Furthermore, the Live 8 concert's timing coincided with the long planned Make Poverty History march in Edinburgh.

Damon Albarn suggested that the performers should put pressure on their record labels to pay "some kind of tariff" from the increased record sales that would come up from playing at the event, so as to "genuinely testify this is an altruistic human action and that there is no self-gain in it".^[32] Pinkish Floyd's guitarist David Gilmour announced that he would donate the profits from the increased sales in Pink Floyd's Echoes anthology to charity, stating: "Though the principal objective has been to heighten consciousness and put pressure level on the G8 leaders, I volition non profit from the concert. This is money that should be used to save lives."^[37]

Criticism was levelled at the Philadelphia Live 8 concert, when information technology was revealed that while the performers received no monetary bounty for their participation, they were given souvenir numberless containing designer gifts worth most $12,000. The gifts included $2,000 Gibson guitars, $3,500 Hugo Boss suits and $6,000 Bertolucci watches.^[35]

Uncensored broadcasts [edit]

Despite the bear witness existence broadcast earlier the watershed in the United Kingdom, there was no attempt at censorship past the BBC. The network came under fire for its coverage of the Live eight concerts due to the corporeality of live swearing past several performers that was circulate earlier the watershed. Madonna, Snoop Dogg, Razorlight, Dark-green Day, U2 and Velvet Revolver were too criticised for their use of foul language during their performances.^[38] An investigation by the UK media regulator Ofcom ruled that goggle box audiences were subjected to "the most offensive linguistic communication" and demanded that the BBC issue an on-air apology.^[39]

In the United states, ABC drew criticism from the Parents Goggle box Council when its delayed airing of the Hyde Park concert highlights failed to censor The Who's operation of "Who Are You lot" which contained the lyric, "Who the fuck are you lot?". ABC responded: "Unfortunately, 1 inappropriate phrase sung by one performer was initially missed and made it into the East Coast network feed. It was afterward edited out of the West Coast feed."^[xl]

Other [edit]

MTV and VH1 were criticised for their coverage of the Live 8 concerts. Media critics and viewers complained that the networks focused too trivial on the actual musical performances, pointing to the frequent switching betwixt artists and concerts, and cutting to commercials, interviews or "educational segments" while bands were nevertheless performing. The VJs too received criticism for frequently talking over the performances. The post-obit weekend, MTV and VH1 re-aired ten commercial-costless hours of music performances from the Live 8 concerts in response to the criticism.^{[41] [42]}

The London concert too received criticism when alcohol was outlawed for concertgoers, but made available for the VIPs.^[43]

Legacy [edit]

On 2 July 2006, BBC One, CTV and MTV broadcast Live 8: What a Difference a Day Makes. In the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, the special was 60 minutes as compared to the US version on MTV running at xc minutes. The special was aired on MTV at 07:30 Eastern time, giving nearly no chance for viewers to be fabricated aware of the broadcast. Instead of airing the special late at night, MTV aired their normal broadcasting schedule for Sundays, once more calculation to the criticism of MTV'southward lack of involvement in Alive viii.

The Live 8 on AOL worldwide multi-feed webcast by America Online won the first Emmy Award for content delivered via the Cyberspace, cellphones, and iPods ("Broadband award"). Live viii on AOL was chosen equally the winner out of 74 entrants.^[44]

In a study issued in June 2006, the G8 take reportedly not lived upwardly to their promises prepare in 2005. Co-ordinate to DATA, the U.s., U.Chiliad., Italy, and French republic increased their development-assistance pledges and actual assistance to Africa in 2005, simply Frg maintained its former level of contribution and Canada decreased help in 2005. In general, the G8 is moving slowly in the effort to see its promises.^[45]

Some consider Live 8 to exist a success, including Bob Geldof himself.^[46] However, others including the World Socialist Web Site dismissed Live viii as a "public relations stunt" for G8 leaders and multinational corporations, due to the disparity between the rhetoric of the events and the actual efforts fabricated after the events in reducing poverty.^[47] Geldof also believes that public attention was quickly diverted past the London bombings on 7 July 2005, the day after Alive eight Edinburgh which was the last concert in the series.^[48]
