Or more like who won't be performing. We've already told you about Live Earth, Al Gore's 24-hour, 7-continent series of concerts on 7/7/07. Well, lists of performers at different venues (cities participating are: East Rutherford, New Jersey [near New York]; London; Rio de Janeiro; Maropeng [near Johannesburg]; Tokyo; Shanghai; and Sydney) are starting to be announced. First up, the US and the UK.

Here's one of the videos we found from the show on Monday night. This one wasn't shot on a tripod, but the quality is ok and the song is "Wish You Were Here." We can live with it. The other ones we found were also on YouTube, using 'Roger Waters Shanghai' as the search terms. Briefly searching through Tudou and Mofile we didn't find anything. If you find other videos you'd think people would like, feel free to leave the link in a comment.
