"Don't DO that, it hurts!" My thoughts exactly...

That synth sounds like a fucking cow moo-ing!!!!!
-
Amazing how bad it sounds in the early takes and it became such a great song.

My friend and I rented the VHS version of this in 1984 and watched it over and over and over......she discovered Status Quo....I fell in love with Midge and Ultravox
-
Bob recruited Midge, without which it wouldn't have happened! I do agree he deserves more credit for the song though.
-
@harrietcow Midge doesn't get the respect he deserves, but he didn't write the song alone & Bob did ALL the work behind Live Aid, as well making it happen, that's why Midge's contributions to the song get overlooked, but it's a misconception that he wrote the song along, although he DID produce it because Bob was managing everything else regarding the record.

Phill the best.
Bob Geldoff said in an interview that he wanted Collins just to sing on the thing but Collins heard the track and went "let me go get my drums" Geldoff was worried that recording Collins' drums would take two days but Collins set up his kit and got the mics ready in little over 15 minutes. You can say what you want but Collins' drumming really brought this track to life.
