Live Aid July 13 1985

De Bellem · 2013-07-12 20:30:55

For those who can remember, LIVE AID is 28 years on tomorrow. Most agree that Queen and U2 shone through and stole the show. All bands had only 15 minutes to make their mark but there were so many other great performances at Wembley and Philadelphia. What do you think? I recorded the lot on VHS (remember that technology)…

what a great day to remember. Queen stole the show as did U2 but who could forget poor Paul McCartney and the non working mike........
UK seemed much better and focused than US though

Remember Live Aid very well. Was about 6 years old at the time. I got up to watch cartoons that particularly Saturday morning and came across this music event thing. Didn't know what on earth it was for at the time.

And who could forget Geldof's infamous line: "Give us your f***ing money!"

I could have sworn he said that, but apparently not. He did swear during the interview but not at that point. Fair play to him, he got the point across.
