Very, very cool! I can watch it on my Mac, which I couldn't do during the actual broadcast. Now, if I could only figure out how to save it...

you don't hve to have AOL to watch it. Anyone can who has a computer and media player.

Yeah, you'd think wouldn't you Sheryl. But my computer won't load it, or tells me I've executed an illegal manuver or freezes or shuts down entirely. In short, I pissed of AOL badly when I called them all those names right before I dumped their sorry excuse for an ISP.

If I had a few hours I could probably find a way around whatever the problem is, but just the fact that the content is only available through AOL is enough to keep me from trying.

I don't have AOL and was asked to install something small - I forget if it was a plug-in to Windows Media Player or something more specifically AOL - the first time I watched. Took just a couple of seconds and I've surprisingly had no problems whatsoever. :)

The clips work great and GL did a nice job. Mr. Fowles, you simply need to get broadband. I admire your dedication to this board using only dialup.

I just watched the clips and was thrilled it worked - didn't see him on Saturday!

Gordon did a fantastic job and I love it when it's just him, his voice and his guitar. I always have the feeling to be "closer" to his music when it's just an accoustic version. I wish he would bring out a whole CD with just him and the guitar.

Does anybody know why he didn't bring his band this time?
He looked real great too and obviously had a good time. Standing in front of that huge crowd must be quite something - even for him!

Well Said Claudia! I agree ... Dump the band for a while. It is about Gord and his songs! take em back after a CD or two! ;)

I didn't know what Let It Ride sounded like because I don't have East of Midnight yet (where Let It Ride is on) and I decided to listen to the Live 8 performance of it...I LOVE THIS SONG TO DEATH!!! I was always worried about the EOM album and was going to wait until I had his other albums before I acquired EOM but I love, love this song, and I didn't think I would like it so much the first time!

I've heard IYCRMM before on the radio but I thought it was just okay...but I love the song now that I heard it again at Live 8...and I love Restless too!

Ohhh, Shazia, I first heard IYCRMM as a dreamy 14-year-old. Imagine what a sexy, full-throated baritone voice singing those heart-tugging lyrics will do to a teenage girl?? That man's had my heart since then.

Well,I can finally say i saw 2 out of the 3 clips of Gordon at Live 8. I watched IYCRMM and Let It Ride. For some strange reason I could not getr the "Restless" clip to play like the others did.

I did this at work Sunday,because I was allowed to work alone and basically,be in charge that day. So,once work was done,I used the office PC! ;) If I get a chance..."I'd Do It Again"! :D
