Queen band had the best performance ever!!!!

I'm a child of The 80s and Live Aid was OUR Woodstock!!!

Rockin all over the World is the perfect opening song.

Midge Ure's vocal performance in Vienna was bloody amazing

Sir Bob Geldof's impression of Prince Charles had me in tears laughing - spot on! Thanks so much for posting these videos...

The stadium reflected in Midge's glasses. Priceless.

0:58 behind the Royal Couple & Geldof are David Bowie, Phil Collins, Brian May & Roger Taylor. Damn what a setlist!

As someone who attended LiveAid in Philly, most of my memories are how hot it was and how I spent all day singing along with the performers. Wow that was 33 years ago, man I feel old.

1:01 might be one of the greatest pictures ever. Brian May, Roger Taylor, Princess Di, David Bowie, and Bob Geldoff, all sitting together..

The moment Geldof stopped the song at “the lesson today is. How. To. Die” and raised his hand, that song (I Don’t Like Monday’s) took a whole new meaning. Quite literally.

Talk about opening with a bang, the mighty Quooooooooooo. To all the Quo haters - 130 million record sales without breaking into the States, 5,000+ live shows, 64 British hit singles ( more than ANY other band ), still rocking since 1962 & done sellout shows for the last 2 years with the re-united classic line-up of the Frantic Four :)

Live Aid was all about Queen, the others did their thing well but nothing compares in the end.

Midge Ure made the calls, started this but Bob Geldoff takes the glory. Sick to death of seeing him do that - I would have given BG all the praise if he'd recognised who started it - but he didn't - guess being a one hit wonder he just had to glory in all he could - disgusted with him - he didn't start Live Aid - he jumped on the band wagon and took the glory - he didn't make the money - the country gave the money and Queen ruled the day. For all those shouting below - Midge Ure made the calls, started the ball rolling, got them together, built the concept, got the whole country behind the idea (and one time wonders like BG). If he hadn't done that we would never have witnessed live aid, the great performances from Queen, the amazing response from the public. Sick to death of BG taking glory - why - what did he do - he didn't give the money - he didn't create live aid, he was a has been - and always will be a has been with one little song behind him about a girl committing murder - yep that's all he ever did for real - never mind what he wants you to believe.

Midge is so humble

Everybody is waiting for the fucking QUEEN!!!

Live Aid was the first episode of 24... cool !

And then Queen performed and all this bollox became irrelevant.

And here I'm who used to think that Live Aid was Queen's concert...

Very good documentary but can not find part 5. It would be really cool as well if some one up loaded when Harvy Met Bob which was on before these documentarys

Spandau ballet were great

they should have done the america live aid in central park

which one has the Queen segment?

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I see Brian and Roger from Queen YAY!!!!!

Tony Hadley “ alright world”. 😂😂😂😂😂

Now I know rock band Queen was the highlight of LiveAid, but let's not forget status Qua performance that day, plus it wasn't easy been the first band on that day. Maybe I'm wrong here, I thought I thought I read somewhere Frank zappa turned down LiveAid, because he didn't agree with the whole thing.

Poor Midge, he's the unsung Hero in this shite and never complains, I'm sure Bob shaffted him "Bigtime"

No mention about Adam Ant.

Think about it we need something like this today these musicians and producers and organizers were petrified. But a good fear they were standing up for something something in another place- hunger, oppression, death they were standing up for wrong- they were putting alot on the line they did it anyway they bit the bullet they performed more than anything they came together they put their egos aside imagine doing this in america everyone coming together all people

Who’s the 1st group singing???

For all the shit Quo were getting, look at the video - it looks like they're going over a fucking storm! As well as Queen, no less. Why doesn't anyone talk about this being THEIR comeback gig?!

Is that Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen sitting just behind the Prince and Geldoph @1:06? Interesting placement if so...

And queen destroyed all

Geldof needed Midge Ure at the time. Midge was a bigger star and had more contacts in the music biz than Geldof did.

Bob Geldof was to Live Aid what Michael Lang, Artie Kornfeld, Joel Rosenman, and John Roberts was to Woodstock.

_"Geldof was born and brought up in Dún Laoghaire, Ireland...His paternal grandmother, Amelia Falk, was an English Jew from London."_ One is not a true American until resident in the ADL's database.

yeah with david bowie n phil collins i think

you start to feel sorry for Midge!!!

Midge is a feckin God! There's only a small few things that would have made Live Aid even better, MJ, Stevie Wonder, Guns N Roses if appetite was released 2 years earlier and they were there and ultimately if Ultravox performed Hymn

Bill Graham, what a jerk. No wonder The Rolling Stones didn't want to work with him when they were setting up "The Steel Wheels Tour".

....and I said shut the hell up Charles! Diana is so with it and Charles is an ‘ol fuddy-duddy. Poor girl, let her outta that cage (tower)!

'If i had a gun, i would've shot my self at that moment" Lol, me when ever i do anything embarassing, really.

seriously Midge is cool with all of this now

A Scotch man and an Irish man fighting over who gets to play for the royals?

Geldof is a royalist. He's even got a knighthood from Her Maj.

Where the hell is Paul Weller? Spandut Ballet????? C'mon?

hehe geldof dubbing charles, prince of wales. ^_^

The script for this thing, and the narrator's melodramatic reading of it, is so silly. I cant believe that these bands gave two hoots about performing in front of the "Royal couple", who were already becoming tabloid fodder at that point. Bob Geldoff is hardly a royalist. Pulling off a live, global broadcast, with 50 of the biggest rock acts of the past 20 years, was probably a bit higher on his mind than performing in front of the Queen's first born son.

Bob geldof said that Prince Charles asked who Status Quo where at live aid but He'd been to the Quos 20th anniversary concert at NEC in 1982 must have a really bad memory

Just shows ya..people almost always [the foolish ones that is], knock people before the actual event

So get your money out now

who is theese chciks. if the prince of wales said that then holy shit 1,09

apparently you have been misinformed on what life exactly is.

Heard Status quo brought the most pills to live aid.

1:03; Crystal!

This documentary makes it seem that there was a rift between Midge and Geldof, but after listening to each man, they didn't have a problem with each other, despite what was written in the documentary. As for Midge's girlfriend at the time recalling Midge was bothered, I am sure he told her and not the press...old news to both Geldof and Ure now.

If you were against what the Prince was about and your GOVERNMENT why would u be filled talking with. 😎😎😎

Fanciful, right?

meanwhile it seems like geldof made a game out of ellbowing midge ure (who obviously had lotta soft spots )) playing in front of the royal couple - oh how important in front of the whole world watching

Eighties music was like the seventh ring of Hell.

Bob dont like MONDAYS

Who cares who got swapped .. live aid was all about Queen!

more farcical i'd say

Let it fucking go Midge .... Fucks sakes

bad blood by Ultravox....poor show. A little gratitude perhaps, might be more appropriate, rather than slag off the organiser of the greatest collaborative show on earth (to date)

bbc presenter looked like he was beaten up

No, it's not

Annabel Giles.....a woman scorned........hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.......

Someone's very bitter....all these years later.....someone needs to Let It Go........No. One. Cares.

also .. just saying .. mullets where never cool

Bob Geldof can't sing,, but Midge Ure sure can..

Midge and Annabell Giles need to let it go. Live Aid was bigger (only marginally it seems!) than his ego! He was involved with the song....but there isn't any footage of him doing the production for Live Aid. Only footage of him now bitching in a very narcissistic way.

My god, ever since 1985 this meme has been going around that Bob Geldoff ran off with the credit for Live Aid. I presume it is spread by Midge Ure, and since many people in the BBC dont seem to like Sir Bob, they willingly perpetuate it. Midge. Stop whinging and move on ! Jayzus.

God I loathe Geldof
