David Bowie & Mick Jagger, LIVE AID '85

[Martinz1337]

The song around 1:10? :D

[ZIGSVIDS]

Bowie is eating Freddie's dust .

[Eggs4Eva]

@JustaLttleBlingBling "that happened and we let it happen" haha i still love it though just cuz its Bowie... :P

[worldbones]

Let me get this straight. They were gonna pay for Mick Jagger to fly into space in a rocket so he could do a duet with david bowie to help poor starving african babies? fucking coke heads

[worldbones]

Everyone involved in Live Aid should really have laid off the coke and got a grip on themselves at some point.

[icez1969]

@worldbones lol I thought exactly the same thing

[rachelmdw]

Love Sir Bob, he really doesn't take anyone's crap!

[permaveg]

That presenter at the start said they had a "brainwave" ! A brainwave ? more like a pointless ripple. Jagger is a prick. And Bowie must have had Van Goghs ear at the time, as for Geldof oops! SIR BOB, accepting a knighthood was a total sell out of punk ideals, then again the awful Boomtown Rats were only jumping on the bandwaggon anyway, their legacy is best forgotten, which they have been thank god!

[newhome123sac]

I like how Bowie performs in a suit. Extra hot! ;)

[Yellow4494]

Can I ask what this live aid was for?

Oh and that bedroom that you see Mick in at the beginning- that's ours : )

[Hanzey666]

@Yellow4494 For hunger in Africa.....still are hungry BTW

[procommenter]

Dear Jo: Forgeteth not Lenny Bruce's advice to women : "Never admit anything, even if your husband has pictures. Just say that it was some fag hairdresser."

[xxawsomedeathxx]

was watching thi yesterday

[TheBeatlefloyd]

BOB GELDOF is an awesome actor, I mean really, Pink Floyd couldn't have found anyone better for The Wall

DAVID BOWIE AND MICK JAGGER, well that in itself says enough, they rock!!!

[ritter89]

Ugg, bloody Geldof. The man's career peaked during the late 70s/early 80s. Hasn't done anything musically significant for over 3 decades now. Were it not for his self-serving Live Aid/Band Aid project, he'd have faded into obscurity and been forgotten by the 90s. Perhaps Hutchen's might still be alive as well. Geldy would never have been able to shag Yates. Should have been knighted Sir Wanker

[TheBeatlefloyd]

@ritter89 FU! bob geldof is an awesome musician and especially actor

[Jenno1980]

@sweetsoccergirl96 There Must Be an Angel (Playing with My Heart) by the Eurythmics

[ryanjack111]

I love Bowie. But I have to admit that Queen's opening- Bohemian Rhapsody & Radio gaga was the best performance on that day.

[hingamy]

Absolutely awful 80's indulgent crap....

[1985Vans]

gimme the money!!!!

[icewoman972]

Bowie is always the best......but this Live Aid appearance was incredible.....

[icewoman972]

love Bowie....he`s so incredible!!!

[petgall2]

What does Bowie say at 2:04 ?

[MsYesterday1]

@petgall2 i think he said "no problem".

[jimbobjimminy]

My god I'm in love with David Bowie

[tinafanforlife73]

Bowie!!

[crashingheartsc]

she said "david ba-wie". that's embarrassing.

[Luarrangel]

My two idols,4ever!!!

[musictranscription]

I have this sheet music

[Olhodges]

Holy crap it was so creepy... As the timer said 7 40 on the video it was 7 40 where I was. Also, as it changed to 7 41, so did my clock...

[AKMAC82]

What is mick Singing in the very beginning its freaky sounding..

[BeverlyHills666]

The 80's = catastrophy for music, for the middle class too

[Duke1966]

you clearly need a hearing device, sorry

[MartinaBC1963]

The 80ies were not all materialistic. I was a teenager then. We protested against the building of nuclear power stations, we supported Greenpeace, we supported Band Aid, and I started to work for developing countries. And I had and have many friends at my side wo did and do the same.

[nmcniemann]

@capricious71 and tomsega

What are you talking about?

angel1nl2002 is totally right - ik know, i'm same generation as Bowie, Jagger etc.

we are the generation fighting for the wind of change in the 60th and 70th - remember 68?remember why and where Bowie wrote his famous Heroes?

and after we wanted fun and good life- logical!

If the young ones now want our values back they must fight for their beliefs like we did it then - but judging after learning. good luck!

[angel1nl2002]

@capricious

The 80th were not horrible:

After our serious fight for changes in the 60-70th -the 80th were logical result - we wanted fun, passions and and the "come together feeling" .

Our leading singers/musicians expressed our basic dreams and needs and our music united us worldwide.

Life Aid was well the most gigantic music-charity-spectacles ever - but it was not the only one.

[tomsega]

If you think the 80s was the 'logical result' of the freedom and emancipation of the 60s, you're living in a bubble.

[capricious71]

Depends on your perspective!

I was certainly fucked up by it, as tomsega says.

Horrible time to be a teenager, as is now, really!

Sorry, I promise I'm a happy person! :)

[capricious71]

The 80s were horrible. So materialistic. It's poetically ironic that Band Aid happened in the middle of them.

[tomsega]

I'm inclined to agree. The 1980s was perhaps the first and most postmodern decade, in the consumerist sense. A lot of people who were born in the 60s and early 70s, and thus had to live through the 80s, seem to have been a little fucked up by it. Certainly capitalism is even more enveloping now, but not in such a grim, yuppy style as then.

[TheDddkkk]

Best Heroes performance done by Bowie ever. And the best performance during the whole Live Aid concert. 2nd place Queen and 3rd U2.

[jennixfer]

I agree!

[gxxz]

@jennixfer

I agree about best Heroes performance and best performance during Live aid. I disagree about the second place. Then, you can't have it all. ;- D thanks for uploading.

[Ladystarify]

yeah... Mick Jagger and David Bowie´s Rules!!! I completly agree with you. they are monsters of muic! i love them so much!!!

Also they are ssoooo HOT!

[angel1nl2002]

@ladystarify

Yes, the best together bring each other higher!

[Lilyyox]

i just want to marry him and have his children, i love his so much. my god, mr bowie.

[atondl]

you must wait...I'm first XD

[azn88hunni]

[jennixfer]

Yes, that was her.

[morrossey]

@azn88hunni no it was barry white

[azn88hunni]

@morrossey ahh you're right. i was almost fooled

[nobisdatus]

10x

[no8do2008]

Wasn't Thomas Dolby in David Bowie's band at Live Aid?

[ledgerdeathshit]

yes he was. In fact, he became a friend with bowie that day. He's responsible for the great synhtesizers in the Live-Aid version of Heroes. Bowie later acknowledged, just as his fans, that that was his best performance of heroes ever. That's thanks to Dolby.

[Scarr]

Thomas Dolby also said that he would only play for Bowie at live aid if he would perform TVC15.

[DirectorLarkin]

Mick Jagger and David Bowie Rule!-They are so Awesome!

[MoonageDaydream2008]

This is really interesting! Thanks a lot!
