i'm sorry if it doesn't work.. i dl'ed it from my link and it played for me, so maybe it is a mac thing? i'm running on windows vista so maybe that's it, i don't know.. i'm using the beta real player 11 here

srahman24 · 07-07-2007, 07:45 PM

thanks

the new real player beta did the trick

What a fantastic performance!

borneoman · 07-07-2007, 08:02 PM

Don't worry sister, I'm having a bad day with technology today...

By the way, did you guys watch James Blunt? Surprised he didn't play You're beautiful. He did a cover of Cat Stevens' Wild World... no comments

Emelie · 07-07-2007, 08:18 PM

I'm sorry, but the beta thing, is that the Superpass thing? Cause I don't feel like giving away any creditcard-number...

SilentNight · 07-07-2007, 08:26 PM

Thank you Sister, that was great!

I missed it. hope i will see their whole performance later some where!

the transmissions on svt and danish telly are from bbc - i guess it's a special package they are delivering to us idiot scandi's.

just watched foo fighters, they rocked alright.

Here's a video for you, my lovelies

mariaoran · 07-07-2007, 11:22 PM

Thanks!
Awesome video of the duet! ... made my day because i was very angry that stupid American TV didn't show Damien.

Cheers!

borneoman · 07-07-2007, 11:49 PM

Thanks a lot!!!!

The clip for Blower's daughter is also on youtube, although it's mislabelled as David Gray singing....mmm...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vdvui_zoGU

borneoman · 07-07-2007, 11:56 PM

and here's the video for Babylon, with David Gray singing and Damien playing guitar and also singing in the chorus:

SisterMidnight · 07-08-2007, 01:10 AM

they replayed the UK stream here in the US, so here is the whole set with damien and david gray if you want to save it to your hard drive. if someone knows how to convert it from that new real player format feel free (and let us know because i tried)

for all you billy corgan fans, smashing pumpkins just started on the US feed

Where did they replay?

For those in the US, what channels did you guys watch and when did Damien and David Gray come on? Thanks for the help, I'm just now catching up on the concerts.

mariaoran · 07-08-2007, 01:33 AM

I'm in Houston and all i could see was David Grey performing Babylon then they cut it to the black eyed peas. This was on Bravo, and they are mixing all the performances in some weird way.
I do know that NBC has the new york concert live right now and they are doing highlights of the other concerts from time to time.

If you want to see Damien go to the youtube links in this thread, its lots easier.

hope this helps!
Cheers!

October Sky · 07-08-2007, 01:36 AM

Thanks! I noticed they've been showing everything weird, cutting to different countries and all, which I guess actually makes sense. Did you get to see Damien?

i'm watching the internet stream from here:

http://liveearth.msn.com/

the concert schedule is here:

http://liveearth.msn.com/about/factsheet

which has local and EDT start times (but i'm CDT so i'm still transposing time zones in my head.. it's a little confusing..)

but then some of the streams are being replayed, because for instance the australia stream actually started 8:00 last night my time, but i've watched it be replayed twice today (the replays of the live streams play the sets in their entirety with no cutaways, unlike the highlights)

on TV in the US Bravo has been broadcasting the event all day, and right now it's on NBC too

October Sky · 07-08-2007, 01:49 AM

What they might be doing right now on Bravo is showing the entire show(though this may be an obvious fact, all this multiple channels and time zone thing is confusing me), all of the shows combined. Right now The Smashing Pumpkins are performing, and if they go in order(according to msn), Roger Waters and The Police will be next, then the UK show will start. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Nop, didn't get to see him on tv because they cut it and on the webcast i kind of woke up too late ... : (
but i did get to see it on youtube. Awesome performance,

I do believe, now that i opened it, that they are repeting the concerts on the webcast site. you can check there.

Cheers!

October Sky · 07-08-2007, 02:06 AM

Never mind, they're not repeating the show.

srahman24 · 07-08-2007, 02:38 AM

For those in US/Canada, they're doing a recap of all the concerts on NBC & CTV. It was supposed to go from 8pm - 11pm (EST), so they're almost at the end.

But tune in if you want to see The Police + John Mayer + Kanye West doing Message in a Bottle, which closed out the NYC show.

Rai · 07-08-2007, 08:11 AM

At last I managed to hear Que Sera, and I think it was amazing and totally out of place and that's what made it good. I mean, it was like Bob Geldof playing Too Late God at the Freddie Mercury Tribute Concert: the least thing you'd expect to be played to a 80.000-strong crowd but somehow still working. Molt bé!

I have the recording of mine, but it's 94mb!

FightthegdFight · 07-08-2007, 08:53 AM

I think the biggest thing that has been overlooked are the modified lyrics. Take another listen to the duet. I thought it was a nice addition to the climate crisis cause.

Yeah, you're right. I realized Damien changed his lyrics (which I kind of expected) at once, but I didn't get David's part until I got to listen to it again at youtube. Here's what I understand:

When I was just a little boy
I asked my father, how would it be
Would I be able to play in the trees?
Cause they're cutting down forests and spreading disease
And here's what he said to me...

Que sera sera...

When I grew up and fell in love
I asked my sweetheart what lies ahead
Will there be rainbows day after day
Will we become just another cliché
Having it all, yet throwing it away
Here's what my sweetheart said

Que sera sera...

Now I have children of my own
they may ask their father what will we be
Will we be bitter, filled with regret
Will we be choking on our own ****
I tell them tenderly

Que sera sera...

cille · 07-08-2007, 12:44 PM

The second verse sounds Gray'esque, reminds me of 'Birds without wings'. Coulda been a brilliant song for the occasion too.

October Sky · 07-08-2007, 03:30 PM

I thought they did a great job both with their own songs and the rewritten duet. I wish they had been given more songs to sing, but it was an amazing set.

lonelily28 · 07-08-2007, 05:35 PM

Thank you SisterMidnight for posting the file for the whole set, I was otherwise occupied and couldn't watch the live transmission although am in in UK. I think I would have been somewhat upset when the BBC cut away from Damien at the beginning of The Blower's Daughter (slight understatement here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Mirjam · 07-08-2007, 06:01 PM

I ripped all 3 songs to mp3 and flv files. If anyone wants them, I can share 'em?
