US Live 8: Philadelphia review (cont.)

Live 8 USA Concert Begins

The tree-lined streets are starting to get more crowded as I get closer to the stage and some people have climbed into the trees to see if they can get a better view. I pass a cop on horseback yelling at some guy to get out of the trees. It'll surely be a long day here in Philadelphia for both them and their horses.

It is close to 11:30 and it looks like the Live 8 Philly event is about to begin. If seems that in the last 20 minutes the number of people per square foot has increased as the amount of elbowroom decreases. As we get closer, I hear that about 1,000 lucky fans just got upgrades into the live 8 pit directly in front of the stage. I bet they are happy! They have gated off Eakins Oval and the George Washington Statue. A bunch of photographers are set up with tripods and high power cameras to capture the moments.. A lucky bunch of Philadelphia cops are there for crowd control and of course have a perfect view of the stage.

The Live 8 USA concert begins with British indie pop stars Kaiser Chiefs as they burst with energy on "I Predict A Riot", based on this first track, I predict that these guys are going to be around for a while. They are energetic and fun to watch. This band is great choice to open the day. Like a double shot of cappuccino, they have woken a lot of people up and they continue through their set with "Every Day I Love You Less and Less" and finish up with "Oh My God". They look like they are wearing outfits like the guys in the movie A Clockwork Orange. I had never heard of this group before, but they are really good.
