The event was organised by Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise funds for the Ethiopian famine disaster. Broadcast across the world via one of the largest satellite link-ups of all time, the concerts were seen by around 40% of the global population.

    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!

    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.

      @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.

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!!

    • @derekbaker3279
      @derekbaker3279 2 роки тому +11

      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.
