i've just listened and here are my thoughts:
Bird on a Wire - I quite enjoyed. However if I were sitting in a field in wherever listening to it as part of the Live 8 concert, I don't think I'd have enjoyed it as much as it's just not that kind of song.
Where Are You? - was awful. While a lots of it was to do with the sound problems, unfortunately not all of the problems can be attributed to that. I'm not sure why they chose to do a brand new song - the Scissor Sisters did the same at the London show and even they got very criticised because these kind of shows just aren't about doing things like that.
Innocent - didn't sound that bad to me. But maybe that was just because it was better than Where are You?

i think they chose it because the lyrics had relevence for the occasion rather than promoting thier new stuff.

don't you love it when the media takes the time to research Our Lady Peace properly :roll:

It just shows you how corrupt the music business is. Can't even get their facts straight for a band's song title.

They also listed Stereophonics' "Maybe Tomorrow" as "Superman" :p

seriously because they didn;t practice, had only a short time to get things together and from what people have said the whole Canadian show wasn't up to snuff..

but hey they at least made an appearance cause they believe int eh cause..

Again, recording and rehersing for 2 years IS practice.
