One of the greatest collaborative efforts in history is occurring across the world as musicians and people join in hand to voice that rich nations need to be doing more for the poor. The Live 8 event is being called the world's biggest concert.

All of this can be contributed to the Irish rocker Bob Geldof who told music fans to cry "no more excuses" to the Group of Eight leaders of the world's leading industrialized nations who meet in Scotland next week.

Geldof promised to deliver "the greatest concert ever" and that is just what is happening. The amount of musicians playing simultaneously around the world is without comparison. Three hours into the London show, he said 3 billion people were watching around the world.

"There's nothing more to do now," Geldof said backstage in London. "It's either crap or it's great. And so far it's great."

A mile-long crowd stretches from the front steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art and Pink Floyd reunited in London for their first public performance since they played at London’s Earl's Court in 1981.

American Online's music site, www.aolmusic.com, has already claimed more than 5 million page views. AOL music is broadcasting all 10 concerts in their entirety from London, Edinburgh, Paris, Berlin, Rome, Philadelphia, Barrie, Tokyo, Johannesburg, and Moscow.

AOL states that more than 150,000 people concurrently streamed its video, the most ever.

Now that's our idea of TV over the Internet.
