ABC's special - 3 millionSo the total falls short of 60 million - 52,768,000 to 57,768,000. More people watch a typical Superbowl (Superbowl 2005 drew 800 million worldwide, 89 million in America alone). That leaves 2,940,000,000+ missing viewers. If you are one of these viewers, please write, phone or email Bob Geldof and tell him where you are.

And Johannesburg, South Africa, had only 8000 attend its live concert. South Africa will no doubt be receiving a big chunk of the aid money raised by the Live 8 extravaganza. Where were all the people?
Johannesburg Stadiums and CapacitiesSo, in South Africa, one of the recipients begging for aid money, only enough people showed up to 3/4 fill the city's very smallest stadium.
