why mic 77 drums, you know how loud that's going to get?

I was thinking about a recording of the gig, actually.... how should it be done?

overhead ambient mics all around.

steve albini should record it..

I would so love to go to this.... oh well, at least we can still watch Live Earth instead. :rolleyes:

Live Earth!! Yeah!!!!

ohh yeah, there's no more injustice and misery in africa thanks to live aid.
external debt was forgiven to poor countries thanks to live 8
and now global warming will be over thanks to LIVE EARTH!!!!

Global Warming will end when these 77 drummers play, this I know.

or proven inexistant.

I couldn't get in, the line was something like 10 blocks long, a couple of thousand people. This sucks.

Should've waited since last week.

hahahaha

77 Boadrum was the sickest thing I have ever experienced. There are no words. 100 minutes long! I'll never be the same.

some youtube and flickr links... hope there will be some longer video/audio recordings soon.

I've been looking at a couple of forums/blogs today and pretty much 80% of what's been written about it are complaints about Vice magazine's organisational skills rather than about the actual event. Seems like most of the people going there didn't get in...

thankyou!

two more... you can see eYe in these.

these videos are awesome..

I drove all the way down from past Albany to go to this, had an RSVP and everything and was denied. The RSVP notice said they would be letting people in as people left, a one in-one out type deal which turned out to be not true. Shit suuuuuuuuuucked.

However, me and my friends sat near the water under the bridge with a beautiful scene of the city and we could hear the performance perfectly. We snuck passed people after the performance and I got to meet Eye and the fucking Butthole Surfers which made the trip worth it. :)

fantastic stuff. Looking at that line-up was a bit weird though. Imagine if terrorists had decided to drop a burn on the park, you could pretty much say goodbye to decent music for an entire generation. Too much talent in one place.

not true.

it suuuuure would be awesome if this got released as a DVD/CD deal.
