Live Aid - 6pm BBC2

[NooNakedJacuzziness]

I’m getting snacks and drinks in and watching the whole thing while pretending I’m 12 again. Can’t wait for the Quo to kick it off in half an hour! Anyone else gonna watch?

He did, really, not a big Sting fan at all, but he was amazing.

Dire Straits was the first concert DH and I went to. We've not been to many together as we don't have similar musical tastes. It was an amazing concert. They were superb live.

“We’re consultants…consultants from Tring”

Smashie and Nicey 😀

The phone number for The South was the same as Swap Shop's

The guitar on Brothers In Arms! And David Hepworth on TV - he was a stalwart of the 80s

God even Roger looks young!!!

I'm sorry, I'm sure they're v good musicians, they just didn't move me in any way..Each to their own tho, ay?😁

Had my mum and dad been born 10 years earlier they would have been born in 1941 and still wouldn’t have been serving in WW2. They would have been very small children.

it was ! That's why I remember it so well.

Loved Swap Shop.

I wanted a Posh Paws.

My sister saw Queen at Knebworth - the one gig I really regret not seeing.

"this Ethiopian thing" 😄

This is amusing, because everyone on the 90's threads swear that THAT was the epitome of good music and that everything has gone downhill since then. I guess it's true that everyone thinks the soundtrack to their youth is the best (myself included, straddling mid 80's to early 90's)

Just started watching last few mins. God it is bringing back memories. I was 20 - digging on some archaeological site in mid England, so we were listening on radio only. But Dire Straits - they were amazing live. Can't wait to see the rest!

Chrissie ❤

So did I. They were fab.

To anyone there, how’d you go to the loo? I’m guessing no one had a drink so most were probably dehydrated by today’s standards!

Love Christie Hynde’s voice

Ha - special effects 80 s style

going to have to rewatch the Sultans of swing as cooking and mumsnetting at the same time

Chrissie Hynde ❤️

whatever happened to paul young, he was great

The war itself had a pen fetch + men away at war didn’t start having children 7ntil much later. Look, I can see lots of people didn’t have parents in the war, but I did and so did several of my friends.

On the doc last week, it showed that after Bowie introduced the song by The Cars, with the devastating footage, was the moment that the donations really took off.
