  • 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

    Of every gig in history those 72,000 who were there at Wembley on this day may well always remain the luckiest in the history of music.

    On this remarkable day in history I watched the opening of Liveaid at lunchtime. I couldn't eat, although my mum had made my favourite stuff! The rest of the day went....preparing for a live gig in Dundee at the Admiral Pub. Setting up, playing the gig, going round the audience with one of my drums collecting around £70. Driving back after the gig and watching the rest of the show from Philadelphia. Take this one to my grave!

      @@deanstanley5799 I first met him as a teacher in 2001 and last spoke to him in around Christmas of 2017. I'll never forget our chats.
      I only recently watched the 2013 reunion show on CZcams and it's weird to see him sing and perform infront of a large audience at Wemberly Statium - especially looking the way he did in latter years. I've seen older footage of him in Quo, but to see on stage looking like the teacher was kind of surreal. He said a LOT of things during the 17 years that I knew him, and many of them still stand out in my mind. He referred to me as the ''polite'' one among the students, but I think it's only because I was very interested in what he had to say.
      I still can't believe he's gone.

    Bono and U2 were the second best live act that day, I think. They all worked together to achieve an outcome - all the bands that is - and U2 proved they were a stadium group. They were always a band that said rock music can be a force for good and not just the usual cliched rock and roll decadence. This was a day for them. Queen made have given the best performance but this type of concert was what it stood for was made for a band like U2. They gave a very good performance.
