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?

I was the same age, we wer at our mate Dave's house and kept sneaking out to smoke a joint when the boring acts were on!

Toilet break time!

😁

See what I mean about people pretending to like jazz?

Amazing that they could get Phil from UK to Philadelphia via Concorde! Now they'd just do a Zoom call!

😂

Must admit found Sade boring then and still do now - just brought the washing in for that bit.

I'm watching but very behind. I have this on DVD but nothing to watch DVDs on! I was 2 years old. My parents were there. They both have dementia now but have called me to ask if I was watching it and have I seen them in the crowd yet?!

It would be, in its original state, I think.

Yeah - thst version of Roxanne was a strange one to start the set with.

Despite being 20 in 1985, I didn't watch much of Live Aid. Watching it now, I can certainly see why Queen's performance was so lauded.....

Oh that made me cry. X

That piano was a bit out of tune 😬

I can remember it being being on when I was 8 and thinking it was a bit boring. I’m afraid I’ve come to the same conclusion. Sade is only woman though! (I know Madonna was on in Philly).

You can’t have seen much in the audience, I said Midge Ure in that grey overcoat must have been impossible to see.

He really has got a whiney voice.

Aww.

Whatever happened to Steve Brookstein?

Queen rehearsed for three days before this. I don't think most of the rest did. They were perfectionists. RIP Freddie. Was watching a retrospective on BBC 4 last night. What a talent, what a showman.

40 years though! 😨

They all still had a very long day ahead .

I was 20 when this was on, so I do remember what an exciting event this was.

He’s probably still trying to find Louis and kill him

All of them seem to have such fabulous voices.

Nothing wrong with being a perfectionist (massive Queen fan here). Did you watch Live Aid at 40, the 3 part documentary that was on last week? Bob Geldof really didn't like Queen.... says everything i want to know about the man.

I couldn’t understand why Queen got all that praise either 🤷🏻‍♀️
