Live Aid - Rockin' All Over The World (6/6)

Documentary telling the story of the day that music rocked the world. Bob Geldof recalls how, after 12 weeks of manic preparation, the big day finally arrived. But would it work, would the punters watch, and more importantly would they part with their cash?

Bob Geldof and his team recall their fear of how the whole thing might fall apart at any minute. Stars from the day itself - Elton John, Queen, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, U2 and a whole host of others - remember walking out to face a crowd of 72,000 and a global audience of billions. And those who watched it at home, including Tony Blair, JK Rowling and Helen Fielding, recall how they didn't miss a minute of this extraordinary event.

@kezncurt The song "This Is The Day" by the group The The(yes that's the band's actually name). The song was also used in an M&M's commercial two or three years ago.

Mr Ure never gets any credit for his role in Live Aid. He was brilliant.
