Live Aid Concert on BBC2 now

Well, I'm loving Bryan Ferry and Paul Young.

I’m watching it with mixed emotions as well.

I was lucky enough to see Freddie live once, I have never seen a performance like his.

Loving watching Live Aid again. Even enjoying the mullets . So many great performances for a good cause.
Re Bono, my SIL who is a massive U2 fan, says the band nearly split up after Bono’s antics that night.

For all I'm not a fan if Bono I wish I'd seen U2 live.DH and I saw Queen the year after live and and Freddie had such charisma. And that voice.

I’m watching it too - with mixed memories ….

Most singers are pants when singing live on stage, but Freddie sounds really good.

Hat? What.

Just watching Freddie Mercury, hat a great voice he had.

Thanks 😄

Who is the seemingly drunk and drugged guy going into the crowd and kissing all the girl fans?Then jumping back onstage.
Thin, with black leather trousers and badly dyed long hair?

Bono from U2

Will have to google him.

Loving it 😍

I don’t know, was it? Quite ugly?

You mean Bono ?!

Watching it with DS he was 9 months old the first time! It was like yesterday.

They’re all so young. Howard Jones is 70 now!

Ha, remember watching an interview with Status Quo, they said because they were off their heads on drugs, they thought, instead of ‘singing feed the world’, they thought they were singing ‘feed the Welsh’.
Yes, It was amazing day, one that I don’t think will ever be repeated.

It’s great. I’d forgotten just how good they all were.

it is so lovely

Having a nostalgic Musical weekend.
Yesterday, I went with some chums to a concert at a local Theatre called "Disco Inferno" all disco music they were good.
This afternoon saw Beverly Knight in a new play called "Marie and Rossetta" about the lady who inspired Rock and Roll artists and now Live Aid.
Just a shame I was unable to see Stevie Wonder in Hyde Park, bad timing for me, but so far.. Brilliant weekend reliving my 20's.

I’ve set the tele to record I’ll enjoy it another day. I remember it at the time I was in my thirties

Yes watching again as we did 40years ago. Tickets were £5 with a £20 donation. It was a beautiful day then too. I can remember the kids playing in the paddling pool.

I'm also watching and loving it. Found out recently that my brother in law was there.
