LIVE EARTH-LIVE BLOG!

Hello folks. Today Keane are playing the London leg of the Live Earth shows at Wembley Stadium. We'll be keeping you bang up to date with how their day progresses. Feel free to email us at ontour@keanemusic.com to let us know where you'll be watching Live Earth from. And if you want to watch Live Earth online, head to www.liveearth.org.

4.24pm - Two hours to go...
We just spoke to Beth, the band have made it to Wembley, but apparently they're struggling to send pics on their mobiles from there for some reason. But Beth says they're currently on the "media run" and she's going to try again to send a pic once they're done. We're guessing the "media run" is where the band do a load of interviews, as opposed to a bunch of journalists going for a jog. Black Eyed Peas are on at the moment. Which is nice.

In the meantime, we'll say hello to a random bunch of the people who've emailed ontour@keanemusic.com. Hi to Win in Malaysia, Barbara from Buenos Aires, Katrina at Harvard (she must be brainy), Mariana from San Cristobal in Venezuela and Tanya who's "watching Live Earth on my laptop in a fancy hotel room on the beautiful Hainan island in China". And a big hello to the missus who's been putting up with us popping over to the laptop every few minutes all day.

3.17pm - On top of the world
We're now getting far too many emails to namecheck you all - sorry about that, but it's nice to hear from so many of you all over the world. We've not heard from the band for a couple of hours now, perhaps they're walking from Waterloo to Wembley. But until they get in touch, here's a rather cool picture which Tracey just emailed in. Clearly it's Keane sitting on Planet Earth...



Our guess is that it's Tom, Richard and Tim, in that order. Oh, and if you're trying to figure out the time zones where you are, Keane are due to be on in just over three hours.

2.19pm - Pics of you watching Live Earth
Here's a pic of Catarina in Oporto, Portugal watching Live Earth on her computer...

(Paty and Vera knows this girl! She is very great! Fantastic! We adore you,AC!)



Meanwhile, April is watching in Kentucky, USA, Julia is watching in Colombia (where it's chilly), Paulien is watching online in Holland, as is Lindsay, Vanessa is watching on her PC in Barcelona, while everyone else has a siesta and Isabela is checking out Live Earth in her bedroom in Brazil, as is Luis who is "watching online at my home, but later today i'll be watching it on TV at my grandma's farm, beside a tropical forest". Now that sounds nice. Send us a pic Luis!

At the gig, Razorlight just finished. They were good. But they swore too. Everyone's at it!

1.59pm - Phil Collins is naughty
Phil Collins just sang a bad word, changing the word "mess" in Genesis's 'Invisible Touch' to a rather ruder one, for no obvious reason. Let's hope Srita Black, watching at home in Mexico City, wasn't upset.

1.32pm - Many drummers drumming
The Wembley show has begun. Lots of people are drumming. The melody sounds a bit like the warning noise lorries make when they're reversing. Adriana is watching online in Colombia. If you'd like to do the same, head to
liveearth.org.

1.04pm - UK TV coverage begins
Yes, the BBC's coverage of Live Earth has just begun. This is how the start looked on our telly....

Cutting edge of photo journalism, no? Meanwhile, we've had emails from Bárbara in Spain, Stephanie in Holland, Ana in Portugal, Pauline in Norwich and Melani who is "watching the sunrise over the Mississippi River on vacation in Iowa!". All of them are watching Live Earth, while keeping an eye on keanemusic.com.


12.15pm - Text from Beth (Keane's PA)
Hello! We left Amsterdam at 6.45am this morning, all rather tired. We're just coming into London's Waterloo station now, ready to make our way up to Wembley for Live Earth. Here are some pictures I've just taken on the train with my phone...





Thanks Beth. And hello to Emma in Cornwall, UK and Ana from Monterey, Mexico, who's going to be watching Live Earth in the internet cafe she works in.

12.04pm - Wembley webcam
Click here to check out a webcam of the outside of Wembley Stadium, which updates every 60 seconds. Considering the show starts in an hour, it doesn't look very busy. Meanwhile, Natalie has emailed ontour@keanemusic.com to say she's just finished watching the Australian Live Earth at home in Queensland, while Delora in Portugal is preparing to watch Live Earth at home by doing some cleaning in the kitchen. Let us know what you're up to...

11.14am - weather
This is the weather the BBC is predicting for London today...

Makes a nice change, as it's rained here pretty much every day since April. The 80,000 people going along to Wembley Stadium for Live Earth will be very pleased. Meanwhile, Annabelle is the first person to email ontour@keanemusic.com to tell us where she'll be watching Live Earth from: "On TV in my living room in King's Lynn, Norfolk with my family." Nice.

9.12am - Tim
Morning! Here's Posh and Becks on the train from Amsterdam to Brussels. Our decision to take trains everywhere in an attempt to be greener has meant some very early mornings and late nights, so everyone's feeling a tad delicate... hence the shades.



These are my two high-brown purchases to entertain me for the rest of the journey. Geek, moi?



Last night in Amsterdam was brilliant. Everyone got drenched - including Tom - but the crowd were phenomenal despite the rain and saved us by singing along even louder when all the keyboards blew up in 'Bedshaped'! Tom's lost his voice, but hey, we're not doing anything big today...

If We Only Can Watch Live Earth On PC, It's Very Ridiculous!!!
I Know Some Contries Gave The Chace To People Watch By TV, I'm Not Sure If Sony Cannel Gave The Chance, This Cannel Would Be My Only One Chance To Watch.
Well, Saying I Didn't Watch Live Earth Because My Contry Didn't Gave The Chance To Watc Yet, Who Knows Today July 8TH They'll Give, But For Sure They Won't Gave The Chance To Us Watch All Shows. I Think I Didn't Watch My Keane And I'll Watch My Keane.
Who Knows? I Still Have a Litlle Hope. I Wanna Watch My Keane!!!

I Liked See Ana Watching Live Earth By Pc.

But I'm Not Crazy. I Woudn't Watch All Shows By Pc, It's So Crazy I'd Be Tired. Many Hours In Front Of PC Watching? Never Never Never...

I Wanna Watch Keane By TV.
