Any music fan can say exactly where they were on July 13, 1985. There had never been a concert event of such magnitude -- the biggest names in music performing in a concert broadcast live from two continents to an audience of over 1.5 billion. It is estim

5.0 out of 5 stars The Greatest Show on Earth 14 Nov 2004
By P. Prise
Format:DVD
First, lets clear up why there are songs missing - The footage simply no longer exists. Its already been well explained but here goes:

Prior to 13 July 1985 Bob Geldof had said he did not want the concert recorded as it was to be a one off never to be repeated event. The BBC ignored him and recorded it anyway, minus most of The Who set as a power failure within the BBC trucks meant their set was only seen within Wembly. Alas along the way the Beeb deleted some of the tapes in the same way they deleted programmes like Dad's Army, Swap Shop etc.

ABC in America deleted the entire concert. The only footage from America is that recorded by MTV which is littered with commercial breaks and VJ inserts hence the reason some of the songs are missing, but at least its there.

The DVD at 10+ hours is excellent value for money and I found myself getting caught in the emotion of the day even now.

A true defining moment in our history finally available for us to relive.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb - Met with Expectations 21 Nov 2004
By S. J. Crowson
Format:DVD
How anyone can call this poor quality sound and picture is beyond me. It was screened on BBC1 in 1985 so what you have is as good as it was watching it live, you can't expect any more.

It was 1985 and even existing technology now could not remove some of the occasional picture interference, for me though it adds to the authenticity and is fairly un noticeable. Back in 1985 homes didn't have super surround, all whistles and bells televisions so I wasn't expecting this to be an attack of the senses.

That said mostly the picture and sound are excellent anyway and this was viewed on a surround sound widescreen TV. Way better than what I had expected. I first watched Live Aid as an 11 year old and was already a big fan of a lot of the musicians playing, and its great to relive those moments and also scarey realising I actually remembered it better than I thought.

Quite simply if you want to enjoy LIVE AID again go buy this DVD and remember you'll be giving to charity by buying it.

5.0 out of 5 stars live aid ! here at last 9 Nov 2004
By NEO
Format:DVD
Finally a new generation gets to see the pivital event of the mid-80's with live aid.We have 80% of the 16 hour show which raised millions for the starving in Africa.All the stars of the 1980's are here all at there prime from Howard Jones to Duran Duran.The DVD is fantastic with over 10 hours of this brilliant concert filmed part in America and here at Wembley.I don't remember even seeing the show on the Tv which is odd.However this DVD makes up for it in spades as not only a homage to the 80's but to Bob Geldofs sterling effort.This is a must have DVD with all profits going to the Aid charity as it should do.The Special features are somewhat sparse but we do get extra performances plus a documentary.The picture and sound are a little rough but this is explained in the insert booklet.But this doesn't detract from the DVD itself in any way.
