Remembering Live Aid...

Sometimes seems like yesterday! The 13th July 1985 was an extraordinary day and everyone who watched Live Aid was blown away by Queen's transcendent performance, re-launching them to a new audience and Freddie Mercury giving all the other bands a serious lesson in stagecraft!

Did I ever tell you about the honour of working with his Freddieship? Oh yes, so I did!

What a great clip... it confirms some suspicions I had. And what a great story! Thanks for sharing Peter.

Gotta say my favorite act at Live Aid was Elvis Costello's rendition of All You Need Is Love.

Cheers Mike for giving me the opportunity to namedrop, I try to behave most of the time ;-)

Yeah, Rob, like Elvis's contribution too, nicely Joe Strummerish and hats off to him for not doing one of his own songs?!
