How many people are alive today because of what Bob did. He is a hero who achieved great historic things. I could listen to him all day. Ultimate respect.
When Bob talks everyone stops and listens , never heard Chris so quiet ! Totally engaging, articulate, interesting and intellectual. I'll never grow tired of these folk stories
His book, years ago now "Is This It?" was a great read.
I seriously didn't want this to end.
Really good interview 👏👏👏👏👏👏
What a humble man...I have more respect for him than ever. He did so much to help those without anything. I wish they'd do it every year. Thank you, Bob Geldof
One of the most fabulous stories of all time - I was with a girl in Wokingham watching this on TV - believe it or not that same girl after all these years has just come back into my life 35 years later.......true story - I am now 61 🙏🏻
Hey, my girlfriend at the time went missing for that Live Aid week, she came back..believe it or not that same girl just left me again 35 years on .. true story- I am now 61 aswell.
bonnie43uk happy days
Listening in 2023; still inspiring.
Love Bob Geldof, so interesting and a good soul...
Was waiting for the 'Just give us the f**cking money' ...
That's what we should be saying to bob now he is worth around 130 million.
He never actually said that. He said “fuck the address”
Great to see sir Bob again. Thanks
Thanks to Bob Geldof for pointing out what an amazing lyricist Ric Ocasek was.
I'm a delivery driver and this morning I had to pull over to hear the end of this fantastic story. Great job all round
Wardeo007 as long as you don’t drive a hearse, that’s not a problem.
Respect to u
An amazing human being.
Love you bob and Paula xx
The Boomtown Rats are back with a new album on 13th March > Citizens of Boomtown. Bob is a great lyricist , you can hear how engaging he is here on Chris’s show. Great to have the Rats back. The new single, Trash Glam Baby, is brilliant. I was late for work listening to this interview. If just one life was saved with Band Aid, it was worth it. Imagine if it was your life.
My sentiments exactly Dave. He pricked the nation's consciousness.
listened to this, this morning, excellent insight into what sparked off the whole Live Aid thing in 1985 brilliantly told by the man himself Sir Bob Geldof.
Yes and he gets such a bad rep because people are too cynical to believe that he could've done it out of a genuine desire to help people and not as some massive publicity stunt to further his career or increase his fame. And these people pass judgment as if they know him personally and are so sure they are right. Self-righteousness and hypocrisy are the worse aspects of today's social media culture.
@@penname5766 I made myself late for work listening to this on the radio last Friday .. wasn't sure if i'd be able to listen to it again on catch up (Do Virgin radio do catch up??), it was so interesting to hear Bob's recollection of it. An amazing moment in history.
@@donalkinsella4380 He'll always be Sir Bob to me :-)
This is all about Live Aid and how it Began !! So why all the negative comments...Look at the good and Stop judging others and if you have nothing nice to say , keep it to yourself!! Amazing how Bob Geldof had the contacts and power to help the hungry in Africa and he did help !! It was huge !!
Well said.
But helped himself even more🇬🇧
Ronnie Biggs How on earth do you work that out, he saved hundreds of thousands of lives and brought the world together around a common purpose. Meanwhile you hide your identity and name yourself after a train robber, well done!
Daniel Taylor I didn’t say that dude 🤪If you check ,my comment was “I thought this parasite was dead” Can I have your grovelling apology?
Daniel Taylor He couldn’t even save his ex wife or Daughter, too busy creaming off the poor!
This was brilliant!! Great story, and Chris obviously knows that story like this don’t need interruptions 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I can't help but believe a Divine Hand was at work in all this. A miracle of epic proportions!!!
Geldof's humanity woke us all up.
What? We've been sending money long before he came on the scene! and he shouldn't be a sir either!
He sends me to sleep
Saint Bob a true legend 👍
There’s something special about this man lovely sir bob 🙏
Love him!
We said we will come and we came. That is it.unforgatle day.
Really loved this interview by lovely Bob. Fantastic Live Aid work x
He's not disconnected, he's not unaware....it's alright
This is a FANTASTIC story, a true classic of my lifetime. I remember listening to Bob on Simon Bates in sixth form in '84. Going to see Midge in Auckland on friday, partly out of respect!
I preferred the Michael Hutchence interview with Chris in the 90s x R. I. P. MY LOVELY XX
Saturday night LIVE
I worked with the cameraman Mohamed Amin who set up Michael Burke story in Ethiopia, he was awesome and really started the ball rolling and opened the door.
Bob - how many lives did you save ? You are a hero of planet earth.
Good work Mr G 👊💥
Bob is a true artist.His voice being his brush and our minds his canvas.
And you need to keep off “The Weed!’
I just watched the Live Aid documentary on Bbc four.. Legendary . And so is Bob..
Need to make a biopic on Bob Geldof and the story behind band aid, USA for Africa and Live Aid and bobs journey through all of them
Good man Bob
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
I couldnt get out of my car. great radio.
try opening your door.
Amazing.
Dave is a great track. should've released it as "Rain" instead, would've been a monster UK hit. that topic was just too much in those days. but easily their best '80s song
The way he was speaking, I thought he was talking about their breakthru on totps from the mid seventies
We all watched that TV footage. Bob, God bless him, had the will and contacts to change the world's perception of famine and what could be done to try and combat it, using music, the media and people's social conscience. No it didn't change all the pain and suffering in the world, but millions of lives were saved. Not bad for a self-proclaimed washed-up pop star. Top bloke.
And don't forget..
Now millionaire businessman, raking it in from Africa.. Whilst avoiding paying legitimate taxes..
You go Bob.. And now trying to sell gig tickets off the back of it..
What a hero... Not..
Pity Lizzy were not included..
Saint Bob Geldof.
Bob is a natural patriarch.
I always loved Bob Geldof.
as this bloke got any listeners?
Amazing human
Wow. Dumbstruck. Amazing. 😥
Enthralling story, never known Chris to be so quiet lol
I’m horrified that this historic information only can hit a feeble 190 comments and a 20k views , whilst a shoe lace catching fire gets over a million hits . B4 u look for a shoe lace catching fire . You need to take your blinkers off. I rest my case
Love the way Geldof taunted those proBrexit fisherman A couple of years back on the Thames. He really showed them a thing or two.
Yup the scruffy lazy mouthpiece has never done a days work yet slagged off decent working guys ..Is there any point of Bob Geldof?
Yes that he has always been a complete... ( please insert your own expletives..)
SECRET SQUIRREL Turd
@@secretsquirrel5498 legend! Entertaining, witty, handsome, articulate, survivor, author, musician, do you want any more? We love him and there is nothing you can do about it!
Bob made his money from the sale of Planet24 that produced the Big Breakfast and the Word. He called in some favours after BandAid with one single that charted top 30. The Rats was a huge band in its day, particularly in Ireland and a no.1 in UK when the charts actually meant something. To imply that BandAid/LiveAid/3rd World debt concert was some sort of machiavellian get rich scheme is a fucking nonsense. He made a difference for the better - on a global scale. Not sure he gives a shit what people think of that. Thankfully, not sure he ever did.
Torp you’re clueless
@@torp7215 wasnt into the Rats myself but they did come to the fore when there was nothing going on the Ireland to give them their dues. Depends what you're into, fella, but I'd keep Val Dooniczn to myself if I were you. Just sayin'.
@@torp7215that's a good analogy actually - the cardigan. I met Val in '82 in London. Good guy. I think Sound of music was the first to knock Sgt Peppers off and both these albums went back to number 1 after Gently. Could be wrong. His TV show ran for years. Like I said; whatever you're into. He was easy listening novelty songs. Did nothing to change the status quo or evolve anything. He was safe which is why he was popular. BBC radio 2 stuff. No shame in liking cardigan music. I like what Geldof achieved. I was around when the Rats played. They brought a badly needed anti authority attitude to a corrupt State controlled by the Church at a pretty hopeless and shit time for young people who didnt have a Dad in the Bank or civil service. They said "fuck you and your cardigan bullshit". There is a context. Wasnt a fan of the music but fair play to them. Too easy to knock them now and pointless too. They stood up front and centre at a point in time and nothing can ever take that away from them.
@@psfd100 and show us what they're money actually achieved in Africa? Its nothing but a Cash Cow for the elites
@@aussiehillbillyYou're right. Why bother.
a fantastic rock concert.
doesn't half blow his horn non stop.
Good work Bob !
It's a pity Ethiopia starved as a sacrifice for the diamond mines 100miles up river.. it's a shame the royal family had no heart when they built a dam to provide the water to mine ( pressure washing ) , cutting off 70% of Ethiopians water supply !! And that's why they starved... that river was their life ! And the dams still thr ...
Ad love a pint of Guinness with Bob
It's a rat trap, Judy, and we've been caught.!!
Con artist!!!! They're still poor ...he's loaded...he is fantastic to listen to...but he's the only one that did well out of all of it....
You old cynic, most popstars of the 80's are doing quite nicely, we don't know Bobs wealth, he's certainly got my respect for what he did to get Live Aid off the ground.
How on earth did you know I was old???!!! :-/
Did you not listen to a word he said...Numptie
Yeah a lot...and to Bono....may be one day he'll pay tax like normal people...
@@adrianbesozzi114 he did save millions of lives. You post troll comments online, hmmmm as Alan partridge would say , thats saaaaaaaad lol
101 fkn likes?????..... Really??? Beiber breaths on CZcams and gets hundreds of thousands of likes!!!!!!......no offence.... But listen to this interview!! Its Rock history... Rock history meets third world misery!!!!..... Millions of pounds raised!!! Millions of lives changed..... Ffs..... This remarkable gentleman with the long grey hair an beautiful Irish accent changed lives for ever.
Not just in Africa, not just in Britain! America!! BUT ALL OVER THE FKN WORLD!!!! Bob Geldof shouldn't only be a sir....... He should be a Saint........ I'm so so very proud to have watched him that night live on TV..... Slamming his fist down, unapologetic as he screamed for us to listen, for us to react,,,, for us to fkn care........ I cried that night, that week, I'm crying now!!!!..... Thank you Bob, thank you for as many millions as you have raised.... 🙏💜
Still hasn't bothered his arse to put any refugees up in any of his homes, bit of a hypocrite on the QT
Sounds like a comment any Schofield millennial snowflake would say.
Don't forget he refused Michael Hutchins to see his daughter in his hour of need & wasn't there when his daughter was on drugs.
No talent, no empathy, just pities poor weak people so he can feel all smug about helping.
I feel sick everytime this walking corpse appears on TV.
Name one African this charlatan has helped anywhere near as much as he has lined his own pockets... One.. Go on...
Saint, Haha, my arse..
And just for you..
He gets a big dislike...
Whats wrong with this picture. Bob Geldof asks millions of people for money and gets knighted. i ask one person for spare change and get arrested for vagrancy
Has Sir Nob moved any refugees in yet
Bob the wannabe rock star
He wasn't a wanna be
SIR BOB SHOULD GO FOR PM ATLEAST PEOPLE WOULD PAT ATTENTION
chris is letting the narc hang himself by staying quiet. brilliant!!
There both Bloody awful
These countries where poeple die of hanger needs to be taken over and put on auction so countries that are able to provide basic human rights can buy these poor, corrupt countries and restore order.
Otherwise these charity money’s obviously doesn’t work
213 likes?
Too many if you ask me 😁
How many refugees has Bob G & Lilly Allen put up in their many houses/mansions?
Exactly, hypocrisy everywhere, not just the politicians.
Geldof has always been and always will be a verbose, pseudo-intellectual, egomaniacal, musically talentless, sanctimonious, chancer. Albeit he obviously has well above average drive to succeed, no doubt due to his unearned belief in himself, so I suppose you could count that as a talent of sorts.
Kevin McLaughlin you will always be celebrating famine and death? What’s the alternative?
Andrew Marks
Give Geldof millions to sort it..
Watch him pocket it, sort nothing, and carry on..
How's about that..?
Some truth in that.
though I'd like to be like that.
Great to see sir Bob again. Thanks
