On 2 July 2005, a Live 8 concert was held at the Siegessäule (Victory Column) in the Tiergarten park in Berlin, Germany.
The event is also referred to as "Live 8 Berlin" or "Live 8 Germany".
Initially, some music critics wrote the Berlin concert off as a failure when the original line-up was announced, with several complaining there were too many bands singing in German to appeal to the world. This so-called "problem" (rubbished by Live 8 organiser Bob Geldof) 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 also caused a minor stir when they sang "Sieg Heil to the President Gasman" undoctored as part of their song Holiday.
