What a day that was. Was there with a woman I loved very much and this moment was magical. It pretty soon all fell apart but I kind of think if we had met much later in life love might have been kinder to us. Still, its a wonderful song and I always think of her when I hear this.
@@mrdeafa25 That was a nice message. It's easier said than done as everybody tells you the same " life will get better " but my friend never forget the happy memories and we would have the day's back in a heartbeat 💓. All the best and have no regrets. Wrong decision right time or wrong time right decision.
Sometimes God put an angel in front of us too soon. Most of the times we can not see it. It seems as if we have realised this too late. Don't look back. Just dream about how you would have acted if you had the chance to go back in time.
Couldn’t get enough of Style Council growing up in New Zealand when I was young. Had to wait patiently for radio stations to play any of their music. The joy now of being able to sit back and listen at my own leisure is just absolutely blissful. Will never ever tire of his amazing voice.
I think that's Dee Cee Lee on backing vocals.they got married and divorced.She did a ducking beautiful song called "see the day" where she's walking through a deserted Trafalgar square.it's very moving imo!
Goose bumps 40 years later! I was so lucky the share a beer with Mick Talbot back stage back in 2003 in Oslo. Playing the Council every day on my piano.❤
Love this song. Eternally, one of the GREATEST EVER written, and sung, by this young man, in his day. Sincere Aloha and God bless on the journey ahead.
"It was the best of times; It was the worst of times." - Charles Dickens Don't be fooled by nostalgia. It WAS a great time, but it was also the onset of the AIDS epidemic, wars, oppression, violence and ignorance. You know, like today.
The abrupt key change from A major to F” major is beautiful and way ahead of its time, and the transition back to A major is smooth and seamless. Such a great bit of writing.
This is absolutely beyond fantastic!! I love this band! They were just waaaaayyyy!!!!, ahead of their time. Listen to those beats, those arrangements and just the sheer energy of this band!! Be it, slow groove, chamber groove or just a regular pop funk groove this band could carry over now and sound as relevant ( even more so today) than most of this music today!! I am serious and direct in saying this too! This band has a sound that just lasts through time!! Just incredible!!
Another great song from the style council brilliant and hard to believe that this is 1985 my son was 2yrs old now he's nearly 40 how the years fly by love this walk down memory lane
Just the most happy memories ever. Cool band and great song. Sadly time doesn't stand still and 40 year's ago we all have the love and memories of such a happy day. A day l would have back in a heartbeat. Love to you all ❤
40 years later, I was 20 yrs old, I had NO idea The Style Council played Live Aid! Growing up in Canada, I'm a big Jam and Style Council fan, we watched most of the Philly concert, which was great, esp. The Cars and Queen on the UK side. I'll have to revisit some more bands that I missed and or forgot. Great Era!!
What does this mean by caricature of themselves? Are you saying that every other performer that day is a caricature of themselves in 2023? A bit harsh, makes little sense...😂
@oldwight6703 it was meant to mean that the other acts that day are now on their 100th greatest hits tour or playing the 80s weekenders at Butlins ....Not many out there on tour promoting albums of new material as serious artists 👍
@kevinmassey7675 I went to Billy Ocean live here in Australia a month ago. Sure, he does a lot of retro festivals too. But he did play two songs off his 2020 album and they sounded great. It's not Mr Ocean's fault that all marketing and the pleb "entitlement" generations focus instead on junk music produced on autocue.
@oldwight6703 Much respect to Billy Ocean , a fine voice and some brilliant songs .....but when I posted about "performers on that day," I meant the performers at Live Aid and specifically, at Wembley....
maybe that is what the announcement could be about a new expanded DVD/Blu-Ray with full sets by every artist now that we are getting restored footage on this site of songs not included on the original DVD release
I was not shocked when this was not on the DVD release. IMHO, Paul's lyrics, which focused on political injustices, fair sharing of wealth & his fervent dislike of Thatcher, Reagan & the establishment, contributed to less than enthusiastic opinions within record companies & mainstream media in the USA & UK. Consequently, The Style Council never got the recognition & audience it deserved, which - in turn - meant that it would likely be a lower priority when the bean counters & marketing experts made decisons regarding the DVD release.
The new wave era. For me it's the best. I was 15 then. This is my favorite song by the Style Council, You're the best thing. So cool. My ever changing mood is also one of my favorites.
I remember this; I just finished high school, came home from working my summer job at Howard Johnson’s. Caught the last bits of the concert. Such a beautiful collaboration for a worthy cause. Still love the music of the 80s. Style Council was one of my favourites. ♥️
He’s fantastic live! We’ve been lucky enough to see him 3 times the last time was a month ago. He’s got the voice of an angel…. My husband laughs at me when I say that!
Przepiękne wspomnienie i do dziś nie wiem jak to było możliwe,że na dyskotece w Bukszprycie (Gdynia in Poland) było puszczane Live Aid na odbiornikach TV .Dookoła panowała zatęchła komuna ,a na dyskotece w lipcu 1985 Live Aid ,to były czasy najlepszej muzyki wszelkich stylów.
best of the day underrated U2 and Queen hogged the limelight while this performance went unnoticed One of the best versions of walls come tumbling down i have heard. 10/10
Dee C. Lee, previously a backing singer with Wham. Joined TSC in 2984, married Weller in 1987, divorced in 1998. They have two children Nathaniel and Leah. Long live The Modfather!
Still loving the Style Council in 2024 :)

You need to move on

The Best Thing.

Kiwi here I still have my style council cassette tapes 😂, Paul was so gorgeous and his voice, enough said
Most underrated band ever just love them
心地よい曲です。センスのある曲。何回聴いても飽きない。
Love this song. Eternally, one of the GREATEST EVER written, and sung, by this young man, in his day. Sincere Aloha and God bless on the journey ahead.
✨️ 💖 I agree.
How gorgeous is Paul and that sultry voice ❤
When the world was a better place. Happy memories❤❤❤❤
@juliemulligan8473 - I'm thinking just the same. I was only 6-years-old but I'm glad I saw those times up until 2010-2012.
Apart from the need to have Live Aid
SO TRUE....

What a day that was! Just leaving school, joining college.... Watched this live! Loved it then and now. Those good old days.....

I was there 😀
Lucky you
I hate you!! 😂👍🏼
Wow, you are so lucky. That’s just amazing. Wish I could have been there with you. 💝✌️
Wow lucky you
Wonderful! I 've watched Live Aid on television all day, it was just great, I felt so lucky to see all the bands !!
Another great song from the style council brilliant and hard to believe that this is 1985 my son was 2yrs old now he's nearly 40 how the years fly by love this walk down memory lane
Oh Yeah ! I still love this all these years later.
THE BEST, THE BEST SHOW ALL OF TIME! LIVE AID 1985 !!!
Just the most happy memories ever. Cool band and great song. Sadly time doesn't stand still and 40 year's ago we all have the love and memories of such a happy day. A day l would have back in a heartbeat. Love to you all ❤
Paul Weller always the best singer of 80s🙏👍💪❤️
90s 200s so on & so on
@@Smiffy830👍👍👏👏🏴🏴
You must be forgetting Mark Hollis.
and the Seventies as member of The Jam!
He's good and might be your fave but he's not a patch on Roland Orzabal in terms of vocal ability and range.
I grew up listening to the 80's pop, Rock and new wave music....

The Cars were Philidelphia. Queen were London.
Weller , probably the only performer from that day at Wembley that's not a caricature of himself still in 2022 .

4:05 love that yell... great performance, great summer vibe for a classic 80s song. Insane this was left off the DVD release.

@@aburrows2008 fingers crossed that you're on the mark with that!
@@derekbaker3279 That would make sense if it weren't for the case that most members of the media shared all those same opinions.

Long Hot Summer is a good song too.

What last bits did you see?
Paul and Dee C where phenomenal, Great feel good music
I have always loved this Song.😊
Sempre bate uma saudade desse tempo maravilhoso onde a humanidade era mais feliz mesmo com todas as dificuldades existente...!!!!
The coolest man alive. 😎
I absolutely love this song!
2024 ainda continua sendo minha banda e música preferida
Great! ✨️ 💖
80’’s music 🎶 Real music and Great Artist ❤️
Great song and performance on a beautiful day! 💯 💜
Still enjoy listening to this song on 2023 wedding and funeral song best ever hope to see Paul Weller live one of these days
He’s fantastic live! We’ve been lucky enough to see him 3 times the last time was a month ago. He’s got the voice of an angel…. My husband laughs at me when I say that!
Style Council what can I say???
Not only the songs but the fashion style..
Still and always will be one of my favourite bands..so smooth...
One of the gorgeous lead singers in the 70’s-80’s.
YESSS
Goodness they were brilliant .... always loved Weller
How did I miss this song back then? I like it.
Same. I do not remember this.
The long hot summer just passed you by
Glued to the black and white TV in East Berlin. I love the Style Council!!!❤
Великолепные 80-е!!! Прекрасное время! Какая классная музыка! 👍 Какие исполнители!!!☝Слушаешь их песни,буквально на одном дыхании!!! 👏👏👏

Brilliant Performance!!!
Great band from the 80,s.
My fave band from the 80s 😍
Przepiękne wspomnienie i do dziś nie wiem jak to było możliwe,że na dyskotece w Bukszprycie (Gdynia in Poland) było puszczane Live Aid na odbiornikach TV .Dookoła panowała zatęchła komuna ,a na dyskotece w lipcu 1985 Live Aid ,to były czasy najlepszej muzyki wszelkich stylów.
Great listening to their music today true class hope to see them live one day
Was there. An absolute awesome day to remember. 💯
The 13th of july 1985, I was in Athens for the Rock Festival few days later ! The good old days of my lifetime !
メチャクチャカッコイイ❗️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Lovely Summery Late 70's vibe to this song - long hot summers to be young eternal...alas....
I adore the talent x Paul always makes songwriting sublime and yet easy x An absolute legend x
Style Council What a great group; still high rotation on my playlist…
2023 still a class act
Fresh !
I love this song and the Style Council
Paul Weller! Fucking incredible
An amazing performance by Paul Weller. 'Shout to the top' is my favorite.
the intro. best intro ever!
Il meglio della musica anni 80..una generazione di fenomeni❤
some of the last few years of good music
they were really enjoying that performance
Take my money now for the BluRay... 👍
So underrated from the live aid performances
Just beautiful ❤
Great 🎵 song - still to this day!
Good looking guy
この頃のウエラーの声 あまいなー！ そして ソロになり かれていく！ どちらも良いですね✨
🌟Hi!! Thank you very much for impressive, great sharing!🌾
Such an underrated band, and lead singer is SUPER CUTE!
Nobody ever talks about Weller's looks but I think he's absolutely gorgeous. I don't understand why he's never spoken of that way
@@Gogs126
He was, not anymore.
So is Dee C. Lee
The Music 80age is Wonderful ❤
I love this song ..very good times
❤ beautiful song
Brothers of the 80’s 🙋♀️ Present. @🤩 The Best Decade of All’s ~^*~*^~ love

Just love this band even though I’m in my late 60’s now. Paul has such a powerful voice n they all harmonise so brilliantly 👏👏👏👌👍
At the time, I was listening to their songs in my office.
best of the day
underrated
U2 and Queen hogged the limelight while this performance went unnoticed
One of the best versions of walls come tumbling down i have heard.
10/10
Great song, great band 👍
Gorgeous...
Paul is a musical genius..
Fantastic song ❤
You just cant beat a scorching British summer day can ye!
Pure soul
Paul weller!! Fucking incredible.
Voce bellissima e bravi tutto il gruppo
Tellement bien! Un groupe génial que je prends plaisir à écouter more ans more🌟
Omg he was so 😎
Che estate pazzesca, 1985 .... meravigliso anche il loro concerto.
To my Son my world. Even more the children he made for me ♥ Xx
The Godfather of Britpop. We werent really aware those days what we were witnessing.
This is my favourite Live Aid performance
私の青春。涙が出る
Truly phenomenal! ❤
He is beautiful x
Its a brilliant Song.
I remember watching LiveAid on tv when living in Luton
Essa música é um clássico aqui no Brasil, saudades dos anos 80 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😢❤🇧🇷.
For me, this live version is much better than the studio version 😀
It was a cool day to be alive.All the show lacked was Leif Garrett.
Love the backup singer as well. She's great accompaniment to Weller's voice
Dee C. Lee, previously a backing singer with Wham. Joined TSC in 2984, married Weller in 1987, divorced in 1998. They have two children Nathaniel and Leah.
Long live The Modfather!
Sublime hus voice Love You George ❤
The drummer is killing it on this track and the bass isn't too shabby either❤
