Damn! I've got to drag those old VHS tapes out and watch them--I taped the entire thing from MTV, way back when. It was on my birthday. the song that started it all............
Wouldn't have been great if after they said "Thank you and goodnight, over to you Philadephia", the audience started clapping to the tune of "we will rock you" or "radio ga ga"? lol, everybody would have looked at Freddie.
All of us in stadium been watching the Phili concert too for hrs at this point. They alternated from late afternoon with Wembley & Phili. Most of us thought we were gonna watch rest of Phili concert in stadium; when we found out it was costing THE CAUSE tens of thousands of pounds or was it hundreds?every single minute London concert ran over it's time, totally engulfed in THE CAUSE, we were ALL happy to leave as soon as we could. WE were all looking at ALL on stage & each other, all very moved!
Did you see how Bono grabbed the microphone from Bob? It looked rude. Freddie should have sung more at the end. Freddie looked so sweet right there......
All of the people were so happy on that day...I wish I could have been there. The thing that makes me kinda sad is the fact that they were trying to help Africa, but the situation is still the same over there :( in 2006...sad
Ropey as shit, but what a blast!!! I remember everything about that day!!! It was the most amazing experience, and as Bob said "it might be a bit of a cock up"!!! ;)
This is the one video i have been looking for since discovering youtube, and now I must go out and buy the Live Aid DVD! It's amazing to think I was only 2 when this all happened.
Gotta love Bono tearing the mic from Sir Paul towards the end.... real power struggle.

I would rather have heard Stuart do that solo than Bono's squawky voice.

It was just his line to sing so he needed a mike.

Freddie should have been the lead singer there since he missed the studio recording...Freddie was the greatest.
