Thanks, I was able to glean a bit of info from their site. Looks like it will start 10 am sunday Korea time.
I'm wary of AOL -- looks like a commercial sinkhole that will require their plug-ins. MTV is said to be carrying it -- I wonder if that would extend to Korea?
Theyre anticipating 2 billion viewers -- I'm surprised access instructions arent a bit more transparent on the internet.
Or maybe I'm not. Live Aid 20 years ago seemed to fall together at the last minute too with live transcontinental tv & fm simulcast. That event held some electrifying moments.
Something magical seems to happen when you get such a sizable chunk of humanity focused simultaneously on the same live event. |

| Any of you other 30-somethings feeling a bit nostalgic with all this? I remember watching the entire live aid on TV in 1985, and having a feeling of it all being so special ( mind you, I was a 15 year old girl, and a major durannie with wannabe goth pretensions - all of this in the cultural mecca that is Corner Brook, Newfoundland lol). So, tomorrow, I'm going to brave AOL, and tune in to as much as I can. Anyone else feeling nostalgic? |

| Tip: When you've got the video up and running on the aol site (http://music.channel.aol.com/live_8_concert/home) right click the video and select "Properties". Copy the location URL and open it in Media Player or Real Player. Now you can watch it in full-screen mode and sit back comfortably! |

Now, see, Smee, you had to go and taint a nice bout of nostaligia 
In all seriousness, although you are absolutely correct, live aid was "consciousness raising" for this little newfie girl from the 80's who wasn't exposed to a whole heck of a lot of it at that time. That's part of why I remember it so clearly
Thanks aled, for the tip |
