Live 8 Philly, not MTV-style
I haven’t been able to make it down for the big show in the city today (it’s my birthday, other plans), but several of my buddies at Philly Future are adding to the site’s coverage of the show, including our behind the scenes correspondent, Albert Yee (getting some pretty decent access). Check out his, and everyone else’s thoughts on Live 8 at the Philly Future Live 8 page, which is frequently updated throughout the day. Beats the backscratching at MTV and VH1, which I tried to wade through for a little bit (can you say “corporate”?). Also, don’t forget to check out his Live 8 photos at Flickr—a lot of really good stuff so far (200 and counting). Though I was kind of surprised to see a bald Natalie Portman…
As Karl notes, the only real way see the raw action from the show is to visit AOL Music, but I’ve been having problems with that too. Good thing they’re keeping a lot of these archives available for a while after…
Have to say, I like the Philly backdrop, with the letters hung between the Art Museum columns behind the stage. Pretty cool.
