- Documentary telling the story of the day that music rocked the world. Bob Geldof recalls how, after 12 weeks of manic preparation, the big day finally arrived. But would it work, would the punters watch, and more importantly would they part with their cash?
Bob Geldof and his team recall their fear of how the whole thing might fall apart at any minute. Stars from the day itself - Elton John, Queen, Paul McCartney, David Bowie, U2 and a whole host of others - remember walking out to face a crowd of 72,000 and a global audience of billions. And those who watched it at home, including Tony Blair, JK Rowling and Helen Fielding, recall how they didn't miss a minute of this extraordinary event.
Director: Janice Sutherland
Producer: Kate Werran
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
The stadium reflected in Midge's glasses. Priceless.
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.
Susan Cao I’d rather feel old than too young. That lineup was the best in history and I wasn’t alive to see it 😪
I was at Live Aid in London! It was such fun, but the exhaustion and sunburned shoulders when I woke up the next day 😳
I was 14, living in Saudi Arabia. They didn’t show it due to the “indecency”. Still annoys me to this day.
0:58 behind the Royal Couple & Geldof are David Bowie, Phil Collins, Brian May & Roger Taylor. Damn what a setlist!
Alex G Rog always has to wear his sunglasses😂😂😍
Alex G - any idea who the lady in the red dress is?? Lucky lady !
@@kalicat6232 That's Corinne Schwab, Bowie's personal assistant :)
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.
I wasn't their and the pause in that song and that lyric gives me the chills
Sir Bob Geldof's impression of Prince Charles had me in tears laughing - spot on! Thanks so much for posting these videos...
1:01 might be one of the greatest pictures ever. Brian May, Roger Taylor, Princess Di, David Bowie, and Bob Geldoff, all sitting together..
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 :)
The guys in Status Quo are funny they crack me up Rest in Heaven Rick
the real writer of this song john fogerty sings it 1000 times better than status quo and i,m a fan of status quo since the 60,s
One thing for sure quo was good in party,s
@@jzundert status quo better than fogerty
@@mxsthxted ok for you the best is john foggerty but they are both good
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.
He wrote the song took it to Midge so yes he kinda did start it had he not seen that news piece Band Aid never would have happened therefore Live Aid never would have he didn't jump on anything Midge was not as bothered as that girl made it sound
I saw Bob Geldoff live in 1991 in a rather small auditorium in Charleston, West Virginia and he was terrific.
Maybe I'm wrong here, I read somewhere Frank Zappa turned down Live aid. He didn't agree with the whole thing .
@@johndoyle2429 Indeed. Most of the biggest artists flew in for Live Aid on their own private jets, got paid huge amounts and all of the donated money went into the pockets of an Ethiopian warlord. We were all told they did it for free. Bwahahha. Suckers.
Props to Zappa for having integrity, principles and ethics.
Live Aid was all about Queen, the others did their thing well but nothing compares in the end.
This queen jerkoff is getting tired. Opening for this much anticipated concert was a huge role to fill. I wasn't gonna stay up and watch it, 11pm Australian time, but this opener made me stay up all night. The queen performance was great, but more in the 'wow they had a lot of songs that I know' great. U2 were the ones that got the early rave reviews the Queen thing is revisionist
Very much so, I think.
That is one performance that Freddie and the guys will always be remembered for.
Poor arrogant man.
Queen killed it but never forget what Collins did...
U2
Midge is so humble
Everybody is waiting for the fucking QUEEN!!!
And then Queen performed and all this bollox became irrelevant.
The band who had the balls to open the biggest gig the world has ever seen will never be irrelevant.
fleetwoodmac
Phil Collins
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
Live Aid was the first episode of 24... cool !
Spandau ballet were great
they should have done the america live aid in central park
Poor Midge, he's the unsung Hero in this shite and never complains, I'm sure Bob shaffted him "Bigtime"
Bob knew he could not do it with out Midge he says that numerous times back then and recent Midge wrote the music for Bob's lyrics with out Midge there would be no song to sell Bob knew that
Ralph I would agree with you their as well, Bob Geldof was very selfish not to mention Midge. Bob Geldof shaffted him bigtime.
which one has the Queen segment?
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I see Brian and Roger from Queen YAY!!!!!
Bob Geldof was to Live Aid what Michael Lang, Artie Kornfeld, Joel Rosenman, and John Roberts was to Woodstock.
Geldof needed Midge Ure at the time. Midge was a bigger star and had more contacts in the music biz than Geldof did.
Matt Maloney and Geldof repeatedly admits that he needed Midge in this program
Is that Brian May and Roger Taylor of Queen sitting just behind the Prince and Geldoph @1:06? Interesting placement if so...
yes
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.
Tony Hadley “ alright world”. 😂😂😂😂😂
you start to feel sorry for Midge!!!
pirates09rock - it is too bad that midge didn’t get more recognition for his efforts - but I don’t believe that Bob ever tried to push Midge out. Bob was just super passionate about saving the people in Ethiopia. He was looking straight ahead at the prize - and you were either with him on the ride or got pushed aside. Much as I love Midge - I don’t think he should feel slighted. He played to a crowd of a billion+ people worldwide. Just look at the crowd reflected in his glasses.
@@kalicat6232 Midge doesn't feel slighted its Annabelle that was mad that she was his girl at the time and she would have got whatever spotlight Midge got and insteadit wasn't LOL Midge and Bob kne why they were there Annabelle forgot that it wasn't about her LOL
April Gosa - yes, I do believe you’re right. I’ve been reading Midge’s autobiography - he says he was a bit hurt at the time - but knowing bob, it wasn’t personal. Bob knew that Midge was a huge part of Band Aid / Live Aid - and has said over and over, if Midge hadn’t agreed to help at the very beginning then Bob would have stopped at that point.
_"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.
K. Chris Caldwell who fuckin cares about geldof?
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
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?!
And queen destroyed all
No mention about Adam Ant.
seriously Midge is cool with all of this now
Who’s the 1st group singing???
....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.
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".
A Scotch man and an Irish man fighting over who gets to play for the royals?
decenthypocrite Scotsman
decenthypocrite kinda odd eh!
And they both sucked. My opinion anyway.
yeah with david bowie n phil collins i think
Geldof is a royalist. He's even got a knighthood from Her Maj.
hehe geldof dubbing charles, prince of wales. ^_^
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
Or Bob geldof is fool of Sxxt as usual lol
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.
Where the hell is Paul Weller? Spandut Ballet????? C'mon?
Just shows ya..people almost always [the foolish ones that is], knock people before the actual event
Heard Status quo brought the most pills to live aid.
apparently you have been misinformed on what life exactly is.
So get your money out now
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.
kimizuka464 Yes Midge and Bob are longtime friends and Bob will readily admit he never would have pulled this off without Midge Midge wrote the tune for the song and Midge was the star at the time the big star Bob is more shy than he seems
Bob dont like MONDAYS
who is theese chciks. if the prince of wales said that then holy shit 1,09
Who cares who got swapped .. live aid was all about Queen!
Not really
@Oscar. Tiresome
If you were against what the Prince was about and your GOVERNMENT why would u be filled talking with. 😎😎😎
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
1:03; Crystal!
Fanciful, right?
Eighties music was like the seventh ring of Hell.
Let it fucking go Midge .... Fucks sakes
bbc presenter looked like he was beaten up
more farcical i'd say
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)
Annabel Giles.....a woman scorned........hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.......
Martin Downes - She was a horrible woman.
Someone's very bitter....all these years later.....someone needs to Let It Go........No. One. Cares.
No, it's not
Bob Geldof can't sing,, but Midge Ure sure can..
God I loathe Geldof
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.
Midge didn't complain she did LOL he made a joke
also .. just saying .. mullets where never cool
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.
