So come on guys.... where you there?
Was it as fantastic as I imagine and did you actually realise at the time that you stood in front of such amazing icons in music for the future?

To be honest, I was amazed by the number of old farts on the bill, a load of the bands on it had already split up and reformed just for the day. There were some highlights, but as commerciality lay at the heart of the line-up (the idea here, and quite rightly, was to make as much money as possible, so the bigger the band the better) it ended up being very very tedious.
I agree with lookslikemik - i also found it rather tedious to watch, the likes of Phil collins etc. and lots of mediocre performances from acts past their best like Bowie, even Led Zep was weak.
Maybe I am cynical, but what sticks in the craw most is that if all those millionaire artists were to contribute a fraction of their salaries, or do without the backstage caviar and private limosines and 5 mansions on costa del sol they could probably do a hundred times more good for the world. Instead they came on stage, giving a few moments of their precious time, and had the gall to ask US, the working public, to send in our money!
I think a lot were partly motivated by being "seen" doing good - trying to improve their public image at the same time.
