US Live 8: Philadelphia review (cont.)

Live 8 London Links with the World

The video monitors flash with Bob Geldof in Hyde Park for Live 8 London concert. The crowd in Philadelphia screams and Bob Geldof tells us that there are over 3 billion people watching this concert event. He does a brief hello to all the other Live 8 concerts and announces that there are over 1 million people on the streets, welcoming America to Live 8 and introducing will Smith for his Live 8 Click Moment. Sporting a red 46664 Nelson Mandela t-shirt and white sneakers, he lets us know that we are making history in an event that is "bigger than the Super Bowl, the World Cup, and bigger than the Olympics." As the background monitors clicked gracefully from one Live 8 concert to the next Will Smith asked Philadelphia to sent a shout out to London, Hyde Park. He next asked the audience in Hyde Park to say "Top of the Morning" to the audience at the Circus Maximus Live 8 event in Rome, Italy. The monitor switched showing the crowd and stage in Hyde Park to showing the crowd and stage in Rome. Smith next asked the audience at the Circus Maximus to say "Hello" to the people at the Brandenburg Gate at Live 8 Berlin, Germany. The monitors switched again and we saw what appeared to be Claudia Shiffer in Berlin. Next was the introduction from the people at the Brandenberg Gate to the audience at live 8 France (Paris) at the Palace of Versailles. Smith then asked the audience at the Palace of Versailles to say hi to the people at Park Place in Ontario (Live 8 Canada). Each time he introduced a country the monitors switched to display images of the people at the other various Live 8 events and the interconnectedness of it all was apparent. He ended asking the audience at Park Place to say "What's Up? to my family here in Philly". I was surprised that they left out Live 8 Japan, Live 8 South Africa, and Live 8 Eden Project.
