Live 8 concert, Berlin


On 2 July 2005, a Live 8 concert was held at the Siegessäule in the Tiergarten park in Berlin, Germany.
The event is also referred to as "Live 8 Berlin" or "Live 8 Germany".
Some music critics wrote the Berlin concert off as a failure when the original line-up was announced, complaining there were too many bands singing in German to appeal to the world. This complaint was alleviated by the late addition of Green Day to the list of artists performing.
Lauryn Hill and Crosby, Stills & Nash were originally in the lineup, but both pulled out.
Green Day caused a minor stir when they sang "Sieg Heil to the President Gasman" undoctored as part of their song "Holiday".
