Live Earth @ Wembley Stadium, London

A day of sun, VIP leather seats, Madonna and a lecture on light bulbs
Al Gore's global concert for the climate, with the best seats we'd ever had at Wembley.
Jo and I went to the Live Earth concert at Wembley Stadium in London. It was a nice hot day with plenty of sun, and we had tickets in the Club Wembley section - the VIP area of the stadium, with comfy leather seats and a top view. The concert itself was surprisingly well organised and ran more or less perfectly to time.
My personal highlights were Genesis, Snow Patrol, Black Eyed Peas, Duran Duran, Metallica, Foo Fighters and, for the very first time in my life, Madonna. I missed most of the Beastie Boys in the beer queue, but Jo said they were cool too. There were heaps of others too (Red Hot Chili Peppers for a start), but those were the performances that really stood out. Metallica and James Blunt and some others even jammed with Spinal Tap!
All in all a great day out. And we're going to change our light bulbs to be more efficient. Cheers Al Gore, good gig.
