We were covering Live 8 live on Saturday. Caroline Sullivan was watching it all unfold on TV, and was blogging about it. Read her posts on Geekguy and beigegirl, why Geldof sucked, but Travis doing the Bee Gees kind of worked, Madonna's sense of humour and the charms of Razorlight's Johnny Borrell. Plus, as charity concert fatigue was beginning to set in, she moved on to Mariah Carey's bosom, the unremittingly awful Fearne Cotton, and the wasted Killers, before signing off to Robbie's Angels.
Tom Lutz was out in the field, well, out in the Park, reporting on the atmosphere, the special moments, and the beer tent, for as long as he was able to get phone reception.
Barbara McMahon was in Rome, Patrick Barkham was at 'the nicest festival in the world', at Cornwall's Eden Project, Jon Henley reported on the Paris concert, while Luke Harding was in Berlin's Tiergarten watching the Dead Trousers.
Our rolling news story was updated throughout the day, while finally, Alexis Petridis' review of Saturday's Hyde Park extravaganza is here.
