    What did you think of the International Live 8 events?

    Becca from Bath
    Muse's Paris set was absolutely brilliant, they blew the crowd away and were totally amazing. What a great live band! Bad show to the Beeb for not showing them on the day, anyone who didn't see it missed out big time! Well done guys :-)

    Mumbles
    Duran Duran looked awesome! The old Wild Boys can still cut the mustard!

    Paul Munich
    Due to poor organisation and no local government help the concert was held at the other end of the road leading up to the Brandenburg gate, so the Berlin crowd had to be situated along a mile long thin road. Almost no one could even see the stage add the poor sound quality the message really did not get across at all to a crowd of over 200,000. What a crying shame.

    Bjork in Tokyo was superb. Matmos and Selena played brilliantly and we got over an hour of music with a perfect view. The gig was low key compared to London but so much better for those who love Bjork's incredible music.

    Mr T, Ipswich UK
    Simple plan (Canada), Green day (Berlin), Keane (UK) and Robbie Williams (UK) were the most impressive performers I saw all day.

    Sandra, Holland
    Green Day rocked!! They should have been in London. When I was watching London it was so dull sometimes while in Berlin people were really being entertained.

    Wanda from Berlin
    This was a great day yesterday... the acts in Berlin really tried to get the message over to the crowd who seemed to hav forgetten it some time... but hey that's Germany..Greenday and all the german acts where brilliant. Went to say good bye to the people who are going to Edinburgh.. Respect to all of them .. we are right there with them in our thoughts!!!

    Mel Parsons, Luton
    Muse were the most impressive act of the whole concert. The songs took on new meanings. Well done to everyone else for supporting such a good cause.

    Andrew McCulloch from Glasgow
    Tuned into Chris De Burgh in Berlin online. Marvellous solo set from a much under-rated musician. Great stuff.

    Jillian from Canada
    live 8 is truly a reflection of how powerful people are when they pull together, many thanks to the incredible performers here in Canada and elsewhere in the world.

    Just watched Greenday on BBC - excellent really good and I must see muse everyone is saying their set was awesome! Live 8 is a massive sucess and I dont think the message could be made any clearer!

    Cheryl Knighton from Peterborough(UK)
    I have just seen Green Day on the BBC and it was mind blowing, shame that htey only showed American Idiot. I missed their performance of other songs. So far the performances everywhere have been amazing!

    sarah from birmingham
    In Berlin Muse played apocalypse please and brought new meaning to the lyrics "declare this an emergency/come on and spread a sense of urgency/...this is the end of the world...comeon and change the course of history"

    Marion, France
    Youssou'N'Dour was really great ! Thanks to Bono & Bod Geldof to help us to make pressure on the G8.

    anne Sexton Oldham Lancs
    It brought tears to my eyes at the begining I,m 76 years old what a great feeling I hope it does the same to the BIG 8.

    Jimmy Anderson from London (travelling!)
    Tuned in to the London concert via wireless Internet in Buenos Aires airport while plane is delayed! Fantastic so far

    Darren, Melbourne. Australia
    Listening to the concerts from Melbourne Australia. It's currently midnight and I'm not sure when I will be going to bed?!? Awesome man!

    David from Glasgow
