live 8 tickets
Originally uploaded by lukemontague.

There’s a lot of talk in the media about Live 8 vs. Live Aid and how the shows are different, the efforts are different, etc. One thing not being mentioned much is that we now have … ta-da! … the internet! And if you look around, it’s pretty obvious that bloggers and photographers will be documenting the concerts, and already ARE documenting the Live 8 buildup on their blogs and elsewhere. Some worthwhile links (that will be even more worthwhile for those stuck in front of a computer instead of a TV this weekend):

Live 8 blogging

Technorati’s Live 8 home page has plenty of links to what other bloggers are talking about. Look for the list of “tag links” in the right column where you can see posts with specific tags, such as live8 or Live 8 Philly.

All photos tagged with “live8″

Those of you who are going to any of the shows — London, Paris, Philly, wherever — take some photos and help document the day! And if you’re in London and have U2 photos, we’d love to have them added to our @U2 Flickr Group!
