Er is niemand in dit land die zich niet de gebeurtenis kan herinneren die de wereld en de liefdadigheid voor altijd heeft veranderd. Live Aid, bedacht door het genie Sir Bob Geldof, was in 1985 het grootste liefdadigheidsevenement voor het goede doel, en het combineren van live-muziek en liefdadigheid was fantastisch. Iedereen die je maar kunt bedenken stond daar tien uur lang te zingen en te performen! Tot die mensen behoorden: Bryan Adams, Adam Ant, Black Sabbath, Bono, David Bowie, Jeff Bridges, Tony Butler, U2, Dick Clark, Phil Collins, Billy Connolly, Elvis Costello, David Crosby, Simon Crowe, Paul Denham, Duran Duran, Bob Dylan, Sally Field, Tony Hadley, Mick Jagger, Sir Elton John, Casey Kasem, Martin Kemp, Madonna, Queen, Paul McCartney, Wham! (met George Michael), Jack Nicholson, The Pretenders, Griff Rhys Jones, Lionel Richie, Status Quo, Mel Smith, Sting, Tina Turner, Tracey Ullman en The Who. Onder de toeschouwers bevonden zich prins Charles, prinses Diana en Tony Thompson. Het was nummer 58 van The 100 Greatest TV Programs. Heel goed!
