40 years ago, the LIVE AID double concert took place.
On July 13, 1985, two concerts organized by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure brought together the finest rock stars of the time in London and Philadelphia to raise funds for the Ethiopian famine that was taking place that year.

And it's being broadcasted live right now, as we were back in time, in YouTube!

Just watched the whole thing. What an amazing concert.
The Straits were an absolute powerhouse. MFN then storming into Sultans not before MK says, "alright take it away Tel". Great to see that bit of footage

By the light in the picture is clear that picis made during a daylight show, so, thats Live Aid.

Yes, it's true :)

Yes, it is.
I watched the upload part 5 of DS set again and maybe it's just me but I think this is the best it's ever sounded. Not a great improvement, but a slight improvement on the best we've had previously. I do wish the mix had been better because they are nice versions, apart from lyric mistakes in each song (neither from Mark).
