Live Aid 40 years ago today
« on: July 13, 2025, 12:14:32 PM »
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.

I know the way I can see by the moonlight
Clear as the day
Now come on woman, come follow me home

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
