3.0 out of 5 stars Advert for the 5-disc set 16 July 2005
By J. Rowland
Format:DVD
With no extras, this disc is a 50 minute advert for the 5 DVD Live Aid set. Some memorable songs are included in full, others in excerpts.

Please note that the disc is encoded in NTSC, not PAL. On my TV, the reduced resolution and line structure were noticable.

2.0 out of 5 stars not a concert 29 Dec 2012
By PAK
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Not what I expected. DVD contains a compilation of clips and no complete footage of any acts. Not worth the money.

4.0 out of 5 stars Queen were good shame about the rest 11 Feb 2007
By D. Annan
Format:DVD
I only bought this dvd for the full 20 minute blistering set from queen, which as history will tell you were the best band of the day by miles. As for U2 I actually thought overated, they only perfomed 2 songs in there set, unlike queen who fitted 6 in by not overkilling the numbers, and performing it in a medley which was the whole idea a lot of bands forgot was to maxamise and utilate your time the best way possible, not boring the audience. Definatly the sound at wembley has been polished, unfortuntly the american contribution isn'nt too briliant with very poor audio sound indeed apart from the maddona set which was well mixed. However let's not lose sight that buying this dvd will save lives, even its not the most polished of concerts, all to a good cause nonetherless.

      Not only did mans journey into space peak between 1969 and 1972 during which the 12 (only what ? 8 left alive) men who walked on the moon did their stuff : music also peaked during those years. The rest is just winding down and fiddling about.       		15 3 hours ago
