From Johannesburg, South Africa, to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Berlin, Germany, to Tokyo, Japan, musicians and fans gathered for a music marathon to raise awareness of African poverty and pressure the world's most powerful leaders to take action at the Group of Eight summit in Scotland next week.

Organizer Bob Geldof promised to deliver "the greatest concert ever."

Where else can you see a concert in 9 countries full of your favorites stars? You just have to switch the channel as easy as 123.

We are watching live the Live8 in London now. Saw U2/Bono and Paul McCartney, my all time favorites, opening the show. Bill Gates and Brad Pitt had their speech. Madonna was fantastic in her act. I saw Snoop Dog but where the heck is his dog? Coldplay and Keane were just dashing. Pink Floyd, Sting, the Who just went up on the stage.Â*

The news also said that 85% of the world population can watch Live8 broadcast on TV.
