Red Hot Chilli Peppers performance[edit]

The Red Hot Chilli Peppers only played 3 songs, the entire concert was marred by sound problems throughout and the group came onto the stage at least 15 minutes later than scheduled, they did not play "So Much I", only the three other songs listed, I did actually correct this but someone that doesnt even have an account 81.153.40.235 reversed it whilst making several pointless "contributions".

Set List[edit]

This needs to be tidied up. We can't just go on the Sun's info, since that's subject to change if bands decide to change their set lists. I propose we follow the style set out by the Live 8 articles - see Live 8 concert, London. The table at the bottom is untidy and hard to add new info to. DVD Smith 13:33, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have done it as a table, it looks clearer, and any other columns needed can be added. Update it as the concert proceeds. --81.179.123.35 13:40, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
While I agree a table does look neater, I still think the Live 8 style is simpler to add to, plus it means that information about what happens in between can be easily included without having to insert it around the rows in the table. By all means keep the table for the projected running order, but I think the confirmed order should be done as on this page. DVD Smith 13:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm, with a table though you could show who introduced each act/film, and add any notes (about what happened in the act for example) in and extra column if needed. I agree Live 8 style is simpler to add to, (but I don't agree that it matters), though only as you don't need table format (|), in my opinion anyway. And added a extra column is very easy. --81.179.123.35 13:53, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Should the projected setlist (in the table) be deleted as the artists set is completed and the concert progresses? Dan Deerskin 14:19, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yes as it appears now we are not going to use the table. Though if you think (as i do) the table looks better, please update that. --81.179.123.35 14:26, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
To be honest I'm easy as far as the layout goes however I do prefer the current format. Thanks for letting me know! Dan Deerskin 14:35, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No problem, but yeah, i'm moving over to the idea it's easier too! Though to add, the set list is (should be) accurate as it's cited from the live earth page. --81.179.123.35 14:36, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Shall we just move the table into the main format, and assume the list is correct and edit as we go along? --81.179.123.35 14:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's a good idea - but we have to have a space between the played set list and the projected one. DVD Smith 14:43, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Just another point relating to the Set List. Obviously important events like Al Gore being relayed to the stadium should be put in, but individual performances, should they put in? Really they are part of another concert, not Wembley. Dan Deerskin 14:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If it's just some guy talking, and doesn't present then no, i don't think so. Though if Ricky Gervias does another Diana concert moment that might be included! :P --81.179.123.35 14:51, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks, I'm going to delete the Rihanna link then, seeing as it was part of the Japan Concert. Dan Deerskin 14:53, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't even see that sat-link... Did it actually happen? But if it's a present sat link, that should be included. It's just the Rihanna wasn't actually part of the concert so it's not really important. --81.179.123.35 14:55, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't even see it either. I heard Chris Moyles (he's not hard to miss) as the picture was going back to the studio but I didn't see that music link from Japan. Dan Deerskin 14:58, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Presenters?[edit]

The BBC aren't showing each band's presenters, although they're definitely there - I think Gerard Butler did in fact present Kasabian, but the BBC only showed the band. Should we leave the presenters out if we're unsure if they appeared or not? DVD Smith 14:29, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's the thing, you go deleting all the info in the table when it might actually be going on :P but yes, we should include them, as it's the concert we're talking about, not the TV coverage. --81.179.123.35 14:33, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Everything is shown online via MSN, so if a presenter shows himself there he should be noted on the page, not only when the BBC shows it. Jeroen888 17:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the Hosts (Chris Moyles, Russell Brand) should be marked as such, rather than as Presenter which really applies to introducing a specific act? Likewise for Speech rather than Host or Presenter.

Group/Individual Performances[edit]

Both Fergie and Will.I.Am performed solo in the BEP's slot, should they be included as solo artists or as part of the group? Ali Walker 15:41, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would opt for Solo, with BEP's "Where is the Love?" song being placed after the two solo artists songs. Dan Deerskin 15:42, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As part of the group (with their names in brackets) as they preform together later on. People keep reverting edits, so it's not helping. --81.179.123.35 15:44, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that looks as tidy as the other way, with each Solo performance seperate. Surely as they performed on their own as solo artists, Fergie and Will.I.Am should be afforded seperate slots on the set list? Dan Deerskin 15:47, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Hmm.. I prefer them all on one line, as a group. Because they were introduced as the Black Eyed Peas, and referred to as the Black Eyed Peas after their performance. And they also performed Black Eyed Peas songs before and after their solo performances. Ali Walker 15:49, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
That's fair enough, it's no big deal as it doesn't look extremely untidy, especially if there might be similar cases later in the concert. I suppose we could end up with a hell of a list if we did it the other way! Cheers. Dan Deerskin 15:51, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with you Ali Walker, as does DVD Smith from what I can see. I got a Editwar warning from someone because of it. Bit ridiculous to be honest. --81.179.123.35 15:52, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keane - Is It Any Wonder: Dispute[edit]

80.195.232.29, the article on wikipedia (Is It Any Wonder?) includes the question mark. Please tell me why you are repeatedly reverting edits? --81.179.123.35 18:01, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

Seriously, this is a serious event, please keep your personal opinions just that. Thanks.

Metallica[edit]

The BBC are so stupid. 1 and a half songs out of the set from Metallica, yet they showed the whole Keane set. >_<)

Perhaps due to bad language? They have got a lot of complaints tonight. --Dayfox 18:55, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, that is the most likely explaination. Can be put into the article with appropriate citation of course. --81.179.123.35 19:00, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Bad Language on Enter Sandman? Are you stupid? I have listened to the song about 5000 million times and there isnt a single freaking swear PayneXKiller 13:55, 9 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rob Reiner intro[edit]

The Rob Reiner appearance wasn't an introduction of Spinal Tap, it was part of Spinal Tap's act. Wasted Time R 18:59, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And is it worth mentioning Nigel Tufnel's erroneous introduction, "Hello Wimbledon"? It was very funny.
Stick it in the notes section. We can decide what to do with it later. --81.179.123.35 19:26, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Chris Rock[edit]

Oh my gawd...twice in one night he has done something stupid

I'm glad he said it. Serves the BBC right for interviewing him live!

James Blunt[edit]

He sounded more awful than usual. Terrible singer.

I thought he was quite good, although I don't think artists should be able to promote new singles before their release like he did.
He was probably just really nervous. It is Wembley afterall!!
So, he's played Glastonbury for goodness sake! --81.179.123.35 20:19, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
alright....calm...he said in the interview after he performance that when he had his eyes closed on stage he was hoping that someone would mouth the words for him...implyinghe was nervous!
We need to keep our opinions to ourselves - this isn't a discussion forum. I'm a fan of James Blunt, but you don't see me filling the section with my views. Don't blame the artists for what the BBC did. Perhaps a 'BBC Criticisms' section could be added to the article, with some of the points taken from the notes section? Ali Walker 22:18, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We pay a TV Licence for this?[edit]

The BBC are performing terribly today. Cutting off artists left, right and centre. There is a five hour long show later tonight for highlights from around the world. So why keep cutting away from Wembley when an actual good band is on stage? They show all of Keane and James blunt... ARGHH.

...and Paolo Nutini. That can't be his real voice, right? That's more Spinal Tap than Tap themselves. Lugnuts 19:37, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
And now they are interviewing the Beastie Boys after rudely cutting them short. Fascists.
Well they can't win either way. If you liked Keane and they cut them short, you'd be complaining. Just live with it and chill! --81.179.123.35 20:20, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Arg[edit]

Please people stop guessing what song each artist is gonna' play next Dayfox 20:28, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Shakira?[edit]

Wasn't that Shakira right before Foo Fighters went on stage? I added her to the list of performers but someone took it out... I think she was a unanounced addition. Please add her and the song(s) (I think she only sang Hips don't lie) she performed if you saw her too. Doofuz 20:31, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

She was background music Dayfox 20:32, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It was a recording from Hamberg. -- Chris as I am Chris 20:48, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Madonna[edit]

Did anybody get the names of the two guys singing with her?

Yes - Golol Bordello - Eugene Hütz and Sergey Ryabtsev — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.42.189.189 (talk) 17:11, 27 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]


Discussion about Madonna expletives: She said "Come on motherfuckers, make some noise" as the opening words of her introduction to Ray of Light. It was at 10.06pm BST, so likely post-watershed and less controversial than Chris Rock's almost identical comment earlier in the evening?

Concert for Diana and Live Earth concert, London[edit]

Concert for Diana (The People's Princess) was a concert held at the new Wembley Stadium in London in honour of the late Diana, Princess of Wales on July 1, 2007, which would have been her 46th birthday; 2007 is also the 10th anniversary of her death. The concert was hosted by Diana's sons, Prince William and Prince Harry who helped to organise for many of the world's most famous entertainers and singers to perform at the concert. The concert was broadcast in 140 different countries across the world. And one week later
On July 7, 2007 the venue of the Wembley Stadium was one of the locations of the Live Earth-concerts: Live Earth concert, London

Did they make use of each others facilities and know-how?

--yes, a lot of discussions happened upfront, and with Metallica too whose date it originally was. The rotating stage was especially useful for multi-act shows turnarounds.

Who did pay for the original preparations, technical equipment etc. The organisation of the Concert for Diana or the organisation of Live Earth or did they split the bill?

--split as I understand it

Which artists performed therefore only once or just twice?
How did staff and management perform?

Did Flea play with Spinal Tap or not?[edit]

I don't think he was on stage with the other bassists for Big Bottom, and earlier in the article it says he wasn't, so I removed ", and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers" from the Trivia section. Sorcha niri 10:27, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
