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?

I took a photo of Steve Norman's Live Aid hair on TV and then took it to the hair salon (which was inside Virgin Megastore Confused) for the stylist to copy. I was 12 Smile

Bless! And how did it turn out...?

ThePoshUns · 12/07/2025 19:07

Did Elvis play Oliver’s Army and will it be censored in 2025?

BlessicaBlimpson · 12/07/2025 19:08

Actually turned out pretty good! Loved those floaty silk shirts too!

That's amazing.

Bet it took a lot of hairspray.

We blew a hole in the o-zone in the 80s.

God, wasn't music great back then? I thought it would always be that good...😓

😁😁

OddBoots · 12/07/2025 19:12

Nik is a local boy for me and he plays the venue here often - he still has it.

SwedishEdith · 12/07/2025 19:12

John Hurt looked so young.

Lol at actually having a Nik Kershaw 'The Riddle' scarf.

Raahh · 12/07/2025 19:13

Grin I obviously loved him more than you did.

Wrote his name on my pencil case and all that etc.

I wrote the lyrics to The Riddle on my bedroom wall.

No idea why.

NooNakedJacuzziness · 12/07/2025 19:14

It might be because I’m a margarita up but it’s making me ache to go back to those days

We watched this live. I was 24. Can't believe it was so long ago! Mr Gasp is pointing out how much Wembley has changed since then - not just the stadium but the whole area.

Notable how well everybody was able to sing back then, with no autotune.

Did The Riddle actually have a meaning or was it just made up nonsense about holes in the ground?

I actually feel a bit tearful.

Nik Kershaw rocking a french tuck. I loved him and Paul Young and thinking about it they were both quite cute and unthreatening so perfect for teenage girls.

God, everyone in the audience will be around 60 now, or older. 😮

Sade. The epitome of class. Remember when female pop stars wore clothes?
