Organizers of this weekend's Live Earth concerts are calling it the biggest musical event ever staged.
The 29-hour music marathon featured 100 of the biggest names in music and spanned seven continents with an estimated worldwide television audience of 2 billion.
The concert was also available on the Internet. More than 10 million people tuned in to the video broadcast on LiveEarth.MSN.com, (Which made it difficult for many users to see the concert!) making it the most watched online event ever.
I Started with Australia, Japan and ended up with Police in New Jersey!, it even had a band performing in Antarctica! Brazil, which was the only free concert, touted to have had the largest audience, anywhere from 200000 to 100000!.
The event ended Saturday night at Giants Stadium in New Jersey with a plea to concert-goers from organizer and former U.S. vice president Al Gore.
Gore called on fans to adhere to a seven-point pledge to tackle global warming. I have done most of the pledges already! Except for the driving bit!.
"Put all of this energy in your heart and help us solve the climate crisis," said the former vice president, appearing on stage at the end of the New Jersey concert with his wife Tipper.
