Grew up listening to the great man and U2 what master stroke to pull of live Aid and the Thousands of lives saved, went to see them play in recent years still get that buzz, Bob might be getting on like us all but a bit of attention to the hair would not go a miss, Best wishes to great man and the Rats in what ever they do,

WOW the crowd were brilliant clapping along to someone's looking at you ... I was invited to this show but couldn't make it coz Im broke at the minute :-( "They're looking at me too!"
Roberts and Cott are like novices staring at their guitar and bass so not to make any mistakes...they're like statues, most bands would have more life in them in a recording studio!
Awesome having them back looking and sounding brilliant as they approach pensionable age :-)
Thank-you for posting. Geldof is amazing live!
These guys were the first band I ever saw live .... I was 15 ... The second time 16 at Xmas ... I was on stage with them that time at Hammy O ;)))
i was at the London gig. My first Boomtown Rats gig. Bloody awesome gig as for the first song brilliant

Thank you !

Nothing from 5deep ... House on fire
O so great - the finest reunion since .. . velvet underground ... yes, of course, Bob Geldof is a beatnik!!!
I have this on cd I do hope it comes it on bluray and DVD
Saw them in Manchester.They were way better than they were in 82.
Why are they so fucking quiet, geez. I would love to be there!
What happened to the bass, is lovely and present in Eva Braun and that's the last we hear of it. Where did it go ?
I remember from the 80s
Up all night? didn't they play that hit?
sir bob geldoff alive
How can you start with Eva Braun??!! Where do you go from there?
Fucking brilliant!

They probably couldn't remember the songs any more.
Gerry Cott wasn't even there!
Boy howdy, lots of green eyed jealousy in these comments. Grow up he got the coin you didn't.
