Live Earth, Live Geography

It was a busy wekend of music in London (and also Sport of course...)

At Wembley Stadium one of Al Gore's LIVE EARTH concerts took place. There were also concerts in lots of other venues around the world.

Venues were:

London

New York

Shanghai

Sydney

Rio de Janeiro
Tokyo
Johannesburg
Hamburg

There was also a special broadcast from the Rothera scientific base on Antarctica.
The band was called Nunatak (a very geographical name... look up what the word means...)

Keeping the GGiP campaign going was Danny O Callaghan. He had hundreds of Live Earth, Live Geography badges to hand out, and also some publicity hands...
Below are some of the images that Danny took on the day... Share the Geo-love !

Morning ladies... Fancy a badge ?

Outside the new Wembley

The hand was visible at the start of the concert, during the set by Genesis.
Genesis were playing later that same day in Manchester at Old Trafford, because my sister had tickets to see them there... Wonder how they got from London to Manchester ?

You can also see the hand at the midway point of the Madonna performance of 'Ray of Light'....

Coming soon - some embedded YouTube links

And if you find a wallet it could be Noel's...

Also check out the forthcoming film: The 11th Hour.

This purpose built facility occupies the same space as eight football pitches, equivalent to the length of three London Eye’s stacked on top of each other." "The 46,450 square foot Marston Gate Distribution Centre was opened in November 2000 with over 300 people involved in its construction. The centre delivers orders placed at Amazon.co.uk to customers across the country and to more than 200 countries worldwide.
