I was there , an incredible day , I turned 21 on my way home from the show , yesterday I turned 60 , doesn’t seem possible … a memory I’ll never forget….
Happy Birthday mate.
@@danielsavard5977 lucky lucky you😆
Happy Birthday!!!!
You lucky person, I was taken to a church fete instead, I missed it lol
I was there too, stood near to the mixing hut, I still have my t shirt although it is a lot tighter these days 🙂 a day I will never forget, I nearly didn't go but my mates talked me into it, can you imagine if I hadn't !!!!!!!!!
"It's 12 noon in London, 7:00am in Philadelphia and around the world it's time for LIVE AID"🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥🗣️🔥
@@Rompedor_de_bolas and then STATUS QUO 🥳🥳🥳🥳
And boy, did they rock.
Status Quo rocked it.
@@bhg6gs Coked up to their eyeballs, according to all accounts...
In 1985 I was 14 years old and I remember every moment of that day and that night spent in front of the television. I'm grateful to have been there and I will keep that emotion in my heart forever
I was born in 1971, too.
Wonderful to completely
inhale the eighties ❣
Same age and i longed to have been in the crowd!!
Yo también nací en 1971 y también pasé todo el día delante del televisor....fue una experiencia emocionante. Creo que antes éramos mejores personas....sin tanta puta tecnología 😢
One of The Best Days
of Music History
and Our Youthness.
For Ever and Ever.
LOVE from ITALY.
❤
I was 23 yrs old at that time. Wish I had the foresight to realize it's eventual historical impact and significance in my life. I would have stopped at nothing to attend 1 of the venues.
Too right!!! live music and all the best pop and rock bands on one stage and for an amazing cause. Bob Geldof is a king
I'm 18 and I would pay so much to go back in time and see this show...especially U2 and Queen's performances
Remember watching and although i had heard of U2 i remember wondering why there were so many U2 flags in the crowd but after i seen them perform i understood why.
Both bands stole the show. I became a U2 fan that day
They say this was Queens beat performance 👍🏆
If was magic Youngster just imagine you only had BBC,ITV no internet camera phones. It was exactly what you can imagine and some. 👌🏻🐐🥃🥃🥃🥃🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
What’s even more cool is that this is debuting on Saturday July 13 2024 at 12 pm the 39th anniversary of live aid. A great way to celebrate 39 years
Live Aid was GenXs Woodstock and for a day it was beautiful
최고의 뮤지션들 그리고 최고의 1984
Can't wait for 40
You all Freakin 🎉🎉 wanna punch 👊 uuhGh!! FyI Bob Guildoff hepled create Band Aid, British acts mostly!! thus Band Aid Album Chrismas 1984. The Live Aid !!
Se è come questo puzzle striminzito, evito proprio la delusione
I remember it well....I was 16 years old...and I had my VCR set up and my dual-cassette stereo set up next to the TV. It was an outstanding day for music. I remember it being stifling hot that day in both London & Philadelphia.
Я тоже записывал концерт в СССР!
Ditto! Except you were fancier than I - I had a single tape deck, and had to stand by to flip and change tapes. lol. Plus, it was Saturday, and mom was not too keen on us being inside watching tv during the day, so I kept sneaking in from yard work.
@@pjeno007 I wasn't too fancy...my combination stereo receiver/turntable/dual-cassette deck was from Sears....but it was pretty cool and got me thru my teens 🤣
I remember watching the Live Aid concert on TV as a 9-year-old kid in Kentish Town, London... l have great memories of the fantastic,epic concert, and an equally fantastic day, and all for such a great cause... Especially when Queen came on, at the Wembley Stadium, London side of the concert - one of the best ever moments of the event!
Oh, how i wish i could time travel back to 1985. I was 20, and my first child was due in December. I was a clueless guy and sat on my parents' doorstep in London. We lived next door to the parents of Steve Norman of Spandau Ballet. Then, listening to Spandau live among other brilliant acts.
Blaring out the Live Aid concert both in London and contemplating life.
Great occasion in days that seemed kinder and more loving.
Born in 2003 and I’ll forever be envious to whoever got to see this.. this is real music, actual talent.. id give anything to be the age I am now and see this with my friends.. we watch live aid every July 13th 🎉😂
Tell it like it is: This was the most important and greatest concert ever. And: Thank you Bob and Midge.
ほぼ、同じ時期にBAND・AID（LIVE・AID）とUSAフォー・アフリカが行われた。８０年代は偉大な時代。
Я тоже отлично это помню! В Советском Союзе трансляцию этого концерта показывали по телевидению (вероятнее всего, это была не прямая трансляция, а видеозапись концерта) . Я тоже тогда сидел возле телевизора с магнитофоном и записывал звуковую дорожку концерта (видеомагнитофона тогда у меня не было). Это было эпохальное событие для меломанов в СССР! Просто взрыв мозга!
До сих пор слушаю этих исполнителей!
+1
V Československu nic. Ani zmínka. Nechápu. Nedává to vůbec smysl.
Я слушал по радио (русская служба ВВС вроде) , и был в полном отпаде.
Уже намного позднее приобрел издание этого эпохального события на DVD: периодически пересматриваю.
Já jsem celou tuhle nádheru objevila až v devadesatkách @@janlala6599
Когда в Сов. Союзе это показывали ???
thank you we must never forget this LIVE AID philanthropic event which no longer exists today....Sir Elton John, George Michael, QUEEN, U2....9 hours of happiness🇬🇧🇺🇲😊
@@pianoman6512 actually 16 hours
@@tobywankenobi103 yes exact 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. in London and 7 hours in Philadelphia
E qui, ridotta in un'ota
Sitting here watching this with tears of joy and loss of what once was streaming down my face.
Many have passed on and many we still have making music. We will though however never see such Talent on this magnitude ever again.
Get me a time machine please, who else wants to come for a ride, what an awsome time it was in 1985❤
Live Aid, and the two, 3-day weekend US Festivals (82 & 83) all had phenomenal line ups. Aside from going back in time to meet my dad's parents, those 3 festivals are what I would love to get to go back and witness.
Just turn on Sirius/XM Satellite radio to First Wave There will be no visuals, but the rest is all there.
I’m in and I’ll bring my mk2 capri 1.6L…beige! 😂🎉
amazing Im from NZ yay cant wait I was 14 when I watched this on our little tele we stayed up all night it, I will never forget it.
Я тоже не спал в СССР!
Also from NZ, was 21, our local nightclub with 500 people was open all night and broadcast live from around midnight or so, was brilliant,,I remember watching Queen & Bowie about 8am in the morning watching, eating breakfast, been up all night...the 80s were awesome and Live Aid was a huge part of that
I was 22 and in Philly that day with my girlfriend. It was 96 degrees, no shade, and by the end of the night it took me an hour to figure out where my car was. It was a full 24 hours round trip from NY. Great memories.
I was there as well. While it was an incredible day, I think the heat and humidity really stifled the crowd's enthusiasm compared to Wembley.
They all was Amazing!!! But Queen was something else!!! Love them ... listening... adore them ALWAYS!!!🇬🇷
Queen steal the show🩵🩵🐳🐬🐳
@@elifbor1079 Yes!!! I Agree!!!! 👍
Queen were amazing but were huge at that time where as U2 although not unknown really propelled themselves to a new level
well, zeppelin was the only one that didn't do well. they were terrible. sorry.
@@28sunshine218 super Queen! Lady Gaga took her name after watching this concert!🥰
I hope they reshow the entire show next year for the 40th anniversary
Maybe online or a new physical copy ?
@@janbaukespoelstra6839 yeah something like that would be really cool
@@janbaukespoelstra6839I would love the entire Live Aid collection being put on Vinyl. Would cost a lot, but then you get something. All proceeds go to Bans Aid, ofcourse
It will not be the same
Good luck getting Led Zeppelin and Santana to agree to be included. Plus there's also the issue of missing footage of Simple Minds and The Who (lost to technical faults), and Sade and The Pretenders (not known to have survived)
Next year will be the 40th anniversary of the best concert of all time. I hope someone does something special via social networks. Cheers from this side of the pond
I worked at Philadelphia for 3 weeks and have lots of memories... looking forward to 40th anniversary !
It's so sad so many legends gone.😢 The 80's was the best. I'm so glad I was a teenager in the 80's. The best music all went downhill in the 90's. 😮
It went down hill circa 1987. Lol
In a way, I look on Live Aid (July 1985) as the culmination of classic 80's pop.
There was a lot of good, innovative music in the 1990s...outside of Brit Pop. Albums like Bjork's, Debut (July 1993). Primal Scream's, Vanishing Point (July 1997).
I missed much of this on TV as my family had no VCR and I, as a teenage musician, was booked to play a family friend's wedding. So I persuaded by dad to take me back home every couple of hours to turn over the tapes on the two cassette decks I had set up to record the FM stereo audio that turned out very nicely. Thanks dad!
Probably the very last time the World really was one community.
Just no words for what has happened since.
especially after yesterdays heinous act of violence
Can't believe it is nearly 40 years ago. I was 17 in 1985, took a sickie from my Saturday job at Dixons to go to Wembley.
Been to loads of concerts since then, but none come close to this.
You're doing well being 17 in 1885 😅
@@Moonwalk992 That's what happens when I try to multitask 🤣
😂
I was 15, there will never be anything like it again. QUEEN what more can I say
Certainly is something else....something wonderful to witness such a huge audience, all having fun, and nobody is staring thru a phone, or trying to take a picture of themselves. All focused on each other, the music, and the event. How human of them.
A lot of talent from these concerts are now in the rock and roll band in heaven ❤
I will always remember the events of that day.
It was my 18th birthday
I was 21 at the time and this is the greatest concert of all time. 39 years have passed and we have lost so many of these. RIP Princess Diana, Paula Yates, Janice Long, Tommy Vance, Mel Smith, Rick Parfitt, Freddie Mercury, David Bowie, George Michael, Tina Turner, Teddy Pendergrass and others I may have forgotten.
I had the BEST time 🎉🎉🎉 what a picnic as Freddie rightly said 🤩🤩🤩 it was our way of feeling we could help our poor brothers and sisters starving on the other side of the world
Farce...🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
@@stevabobic I was 12 mate
I was there with nothing BUT good intentions
What do you know about it???
@@Abcdefg-lz5sq I sincerely pity all of you who call this event a spectacle. I did not notice that Africa became happy and full. All traces of this event should be erased.
Big, BIG FARCE...🤮🤮🤮🤮👎👎👎👎
I want to thank you for posting this, for the Anniversary weekend, I was fortunate to have been their on this historic day, and to think the entire concert cost just £5 with a mandatory donation of £20, it really didn't get better than this. One the strength of this concert I booked to see Queen the following year AT Wembley, as it turned out it was another Memorable day.
I think this is the greatest musical event in the whole human history ever!
Next year it would be great to put it on BBC the full concert 40 years on ❤
I remember putting the tv on.. on Saturday afternoon. and watching the hole concert, we only had BBC ITV and RTE QUEEN STOLE.. show it was brilliant. 15 years old good times ✖️
I was my honeymoon and spent watching it on tv distant my day worth watching it was brilliant x
I got to meet Bob Geldoff very briefly in Ottawa the year after Live Aid. His security tried to rush him past but he took the time to sign autographs. I am pretty sure he was wearing the same thing as he did for Live Aid too😆. A global treasure
No miming, no autotune, no backing tracks, just real music, plug in and play, todays "pop stars" wouldn't be able to pull off a concert like this, what a day
@@retro423 I agree and the sad part is that they make tons of money with no talent.
And no bloody smartphones in the crowd.
OK boomers...
No phones or social media makes everyone there and in the moment
Queen were undoubtably the band of the day, whichever side of the pond your were from and hard to believe for 33 of the last 39 years since, Freddie has not been here,...what a bloody shame. The whole event will never be surpassed...
ABC should rebroadcast this in its entirety on July 13 th
Many bands said that they don’t want their performances to be seen (namely Led Zeppelin)
E perché?
@@LoredanaLanzo-iq8ux ecco… diciamo che i Led a quel live non erano particolarmente in forma. Soprattutto Page che ci mette cinque minuti ad accordare chitarra e rimettersi in sesto costringendo Plant a improvvisare col pubblico dicendo frasi a caso… puoi trovarla su youtube la loro performance completa se ti interessa
@@trentoninnewjersey pish
Compared to the BBC and MTV feeds the ABC broadcast was a travesty.
"Heroes". Long life to rock!!! From Brazil.
Amazing,the likes of it will never happen again,the amount & quality of acts at their peak simply don't exist anymore
Ultravox with Midge Ure (he was a head of Band Aid)
何年経っても、見ますね。
When the UK ruled the pop charts and the world cared and we still had the beutiful Princess Diana.
Just transported myself back to 18 years old, great memories. What I would do to be that age again, magic time. ❤️
ラスト・ナンバーが格好良い!名曲です。✨ステージ上の全員が格好良い!!❤LOVE＆PEACE☮️この偉大なロックンロール・フィスティバルを今の時代にもう一度やってほしいです。❤
I was 12 when this happened, we live in Phila, and it was an awesome experience to see and hear!
I was 11 and remember it being a boiling hot day, Status Quo kicked things off at 12pm. I am now 50 and looking forward to seeing the highlights
They kicked it off with 'Rockin' All Over the World'...if I recall correctly.
Мы ровесники! Я смотрел этот концерт в СССР!
@@aleplo2653 👍🏻
QUEEN!!!!
This day will never be eclipsed and it was a privilege to have been part of it.... this was a proper concert with a proper cause and superb line up of worthy acts...but hunger still goes on and contraception is still not present in many of these starving nations!
I was home in the UK on this iconic day.
What a phenomenal day. Just unbelievably brilliant... the music, the vibe, the unequalled achievement and, of course, the money raised for Africa. Bob, Midge, Harvey, Andrew, Bill G, the BBC and everyone... you are still my heroes. Thank you.
I've been waiting for almost 40 years.
has it really been 40 years already...some of them are no longer there...they live in our hearts...George Michael, 1:30 1:32 Freddie Mercury love forever!!!
Quo and Queen. Two unforgettable performances 👍
Queen stole the show by far!!
What a line up! Could never be replicated again. Sad...but thank God I was alive for this!
Because at least five of them are dead. I’m not sure about the soul artist with Hall & Oates on backing vocals, but if I were a betting man, I’d bet he’s no longer with us.
I was there at the London end . With my mate Richard from school. Queen stole the show
I never get tired of watching videos about this greatest moment in music history!!!! They really made a difference opening our brains and hearts thanks for sharing!🥰🥰🥰
Me too, especially when Queen was on stage.
@@MiceSlave that was UNBELIEVABLE!!!
Fan of Queen reporting in

Amazing day! There will never be another concert that will top this.
Radio Ga Ga simplesmente está na história da humanidade!! Queen e Freddy Mercury são de arrepiar!!! Muito emocionante 🎸🎸🎸🔝🔝🔝💯💯💯
indeed the day music change the world,still watching july 2024.
Soul is nothing without Sade, this was the decade of top pop and rock! 🙏
What a time that was to be young. So much change in the 80s by the artists of the time. Not just Live aid and the records but artists sang against the apartheid regime in South Africa. Unlikely many today, all sang live too.
Queen was one of my favourites
Merci 😘 beaucoup pour nous remémorer Le Live Aid. Avec les Plus Bon Chanteur de notre Existence. ❤❤❤😅😮..
Queen was the BEST Performer at this live performance. Miss you, Freddie!
39 years since Live Aid and 20 years ago this year I brought the Live Aid Dvd Boxset. I wonder if there will be a Blu Ray release next year for the 40th.
I own it also. I still put it on now and then. So many great live sets from the biggest bands of the time...!!!
And all money goes to hungry African people...."oh, yes"...
Queen hace 39 años!!, es impresionanate el concierto historico que hizo en el Wembley, una maravillosa banda que quedara para la historia de la música✨✨
I was so excited to watch the concert, and drum with them at the same time as the songs. I remember very well this wonderful concert I watched live when I was a teenager.
Queen’s performance owned Live Aid, period
When every singer had the same hairdresser, lol. I still remember the day, it was so big, so impressive. Thx for this fine revisit!
25 años y en Paterna de Ribera en Cádiz....lo vi entero y aún sigo viéndolo.....Un verano apoteósico ...musica ...música ....hachis , cerveza y playa...
Thanks for giving us the pleasure tu remember this Live Aid!
Excelente! Parabéns! Que Dia históricos para a Música mundial e também para a humanidade
Como está fazendo falta essa união nos dias de hoje!
In the words of Bob, "the dying continues so the giving can't stop". An iconic day!
A few days later it stopped....
1985. The pinnacle of Rock n Roll..
What an event. I doubt we will ever see another one like it. Simply brilliant line up of our beloved pop stars of the time.
I'm smiling here. People were different back then. I'm very happy with that thought.
Can't wait to see the Phil Collins and Sting duo👌
Una fregatura, solo un pezzettino di Phil collins da solo. Niente buetto con Stimg, né con Robert plant. Niente Guns's Roses, ecc.
Legendarni, legendarni koncert, obožavam ga, gledao direktan prenos i poslije puno puta naravno
Naj običnija smrdljiva farsa. Iza scene su tekli potoci alkohola i kilogrami ušmrkanog kokaina. Gospoda "umetnici" zaradili titule britanske imperije a nesretni narod u Africi od tada do danas je umro u milionskom broju. Jako su bili brižni, hvala im ali sve u svemu, nisu uradili NIŠTA. E, to je prava istina, ljutio se neko ili ne...
Thanks for posting. Remember like it was yesterday. In fact when it was shown again in 1995 it seems like decades ago. Nice, like yesterday. To think Neil Young was only 39 !!!! I'm now 53. Jesus wept !
GOD I MISS THOSE YEARS ❤
I miss those times so much!
Obrigada Live Aid,a ver em Setúbal -Portugal❤
Hoping to see mark Knopfler and the rest of dire straits 🎸
Live aid was on my hight shook final exam, I back home in a great mode and then live aid I would never change my birth date , 80s hav been best decade ever

@@metavandermeer8106 it is incredible how it all began. From the Michael Burke report and Bob watching the news! Love it! Love them all and happy that I can watch the video again and again and...
Unfortunately the world has become more selfish and greedy for this type of thing to happen again on this scale. I was 14 and had the tv on whilst also listening to it on the radio at the same time. I knew then that history was being made. Far too many diva's and ego's in the music industry for this to ever happen again, it's a sad state of affairs that the world cannot get together in unity to help those in greater need on such a grand scale as this.
What a day it was , lovely sunny day brilliant music ❤
