Not to sound too hopeful....but if at the original Live Aid, Phil Collins could perform at BOTH London's Wembley AND Philadelphia's JFK in the USA on the SAME day via the Concord....which I am sure was exhausting and difficult, especially with Jet lag, time constraints to the absolute bare second literally,, etc.....
...then Queen+Paul Rodgers could easily play Lisbon and jump a plane or a chopper to play Live 8.
If Queen+Paul Rodgers REALLY wanted to play Live 8, and this is a MUCH higher profile Internationally televised once in a lifetime gig with international superstars, media, press, ...and both The Pope and Dahli Lama are invited...I think they should consider the benefits/boost to their career/music....
Also...in this part of Brian's quote, "we will be playing a nice football stadium", and as far as I know, will therefore not be able to participate in Live 8." I think he sounds terribly sarcastic in the "we will be playing a nice football stadium" part....then goes on to say so Quen won't be able to participate at Live 8. Sounds like a cheefky dig to me. Why....excuse me but isn't Live 8 supposed to be at Hyde Park...where Queen is performing at on July 8th. It just sounds like a sour grape saracstic dig to me....like he will enjoy playing at a nicer venue than what live 8 has to offer, but that's just my opinion.

I will be attending their concert at Lisbon, and i really don´t think they could play both gigs without ruining one of them.
