Yikes- Live Aid was 22 years ago?! I was glued to the whole broadcast. We watched it on one of those big old living room tv sets in a pop up camper! My friends father packed that for the kids and for himself- enough Busch beer to outweigh the television hehe!
The day was hot as shit- but as you see in the first clip, Madonna is covered up like its chilly- this was her first live performance after pictures of her were published in Hustler. I remember that when Bette Midler introduced her she said "Here is a woman who picked herself up by her bra straps. And has been known to let them down...occasionally"
David Bowie kicked ass with this one:
Not even Phil Collins on drums could spoil the Led Zeppelin reunion:
U2 established their identity as one of the preeminent live bands:
But the show truly was owned by Queen- hands down the best performance of the day- if not ANY live gig ever:
