"...the Live 8 shows will be free...." so there won't be any gate receipts. I suspect the idea is to get the ears and eyeballs of folks not normally attuned to what's going on in the world beyond celebrity news, to remind folks who gave so generously with tsunami relief that there's a less 'glamorous' (sorry, not exactly the word I'm looking for but you get my drift) but long-standing disaster of equal or larger scale, just not sexy or camera ready.
