    Can someone please explain why there are so many missing performances from Live Aid (like this one) that aren’t on the dvd set? Ironic how the greatest concert to ever take place isn’t even available on a blu ray format…

    • @richarddraper904
      @richarddraper904 2 роки тому +56

      When organiser Bob Geldof was persuading artists to take part in the concert, he promised them that it would be a one-off event, never to be seen again. That was the reason why the concert was never recorded in its complete original form, and only secondary television broadcasts were recorded.
      Following Geldof's request, ABC erased its own broadcast tapes.
      MTV decided to keep recordings of its broadcast but many songs in these tapes were cut short by MTV's ad breaks and presenters Many performances from the US were not shown on the BBC.

    • @teddystacker

      The REAL truth is that there was NEVER really going to be a DVD set.The only reason one was produced is that Bob discovered that there were many "pirate" versions of the concert being sold on the Web. I think they only produced a 4 disc Set (with so many missing performances) because they were unsure a bigger one would sell well. In the liner notes of the DVD , they claimed "much of the footage was missing". In Truth , only 2.5 mins of Sade's First track and some of the Who's Performance was missing from the Wembley gig. Hence, it is now being released bit by bit , by the Trust. Many enthusiasts like myself , hope one day , that they will release a FULL Blu ray , being as these days, the technology exists to upscale the original footage to 1080p , with VERY little quality loss. We can only hope.... But I doubt it will ever happen officially..
