From July 12, 1985 - this TV documentary was aired in the US to get people ready for LIVE AID, which was happening the next day. See more nostalgia and memories at my ORIGINAL VLOGGER channel at / weirdpaulp
The Philadelphia section was pretty poor!! Most of the acts that performed USA for Africa didn't show up...London Rocked!! Best by Far were Queen, followed by U2, David Bowie, George Michael and Paul Young!! None of the people commenting here did he show!! Manly because of the promoter Bill Graham.. Who was an absolute Nutter!!!
Thank you for sharing all your great footage. Wish my parents garage didn't get flooded out with all my video tapes there!! But thanks to you I can relive some of the stuff I saw live. TYVM!
NostalgiaVHS No problem, I want to get everything I have that isn't on RU-vid already up here for people to watch! Make sure to check out my other channel tonight, I'm putting up a whole video I made about LIVE AID! ru-vid.com
Really surprised U2 wasn't interviewed (or at least Bono). He was hugely into this. And I know in 1985 they hadn't reached the total superstar status they had a couple of years later, but they weren't unheard of. Super disappointing for this Bono/U2 fan.
Sorry, but fact is facts. Not one band, not one singer agreed to the concert. Where is Michael, Where is Cynadl etc. As Bob would say, This is Bollocks! Those Who sang in "Feed The World" & appeared in the live concert. NOT ONE. I send love x
MrBudzini Your statement is inaccurate. Bob Dylan, Tina Turner, Darryl Hall (USA for Africa), George Michael, Bono, Sting (Band Aid), plus many others.
The song isn't called"Feed The World", it's called"Do They Know It's Christmas". Many artists appeared who took part in the original in 1984 were also at the concert❤
