Jamming for poverty in Barrie

Jul 03, 2005- Permalink

Watching the “Greatest Hits” summary of the various Live8 concerts around the world on CTV. Watching a recap of live8 toronto (which is really live8 barrie). Neil Young and most of the bands that performed there jammed on Young’s “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World” and then segued into a rendition of “O Canada.”

Jamming is the one great thing that musicians have over most other artists. You can get newcomers and legends sharing the stage and trading riffs. A bunch of actors can’t do that in the same way.

One moment that wasn’t shown in the summary: Dan Aykroyd and Tom Green trying to shush the booing that greeted Celine Dion’s “live from Las Vegas” performance.
