Broadcast across the world via one of the largest satellite link-ups of all time, the concerts were seen by around 40% of the global population."

E o Queen com o Freddie Mercury cantando "We Are the Champions"? Foi no palco de LONDRES, é claro! 👑
A irmã pensando que eram festivais rivais, mas era a primeira vez que o planeta inteiro sintonizava no mesmo canal pra mesma causa. Ela ouviu e falou: "Aff, então era tipo um WhatsApp grupal global, só que na TV?". EXATAMENTE! Kkkk!

Why does Google/YouTube have advertisements in the middle of the original Live Aid concerts? 🤔
I mean, sure, nobody likes Spandau Ballet, but do we really need dog food commercials in the middle of a charity concert? 😕

40 years ago this week, "Dancing In The Street" by #DavidBowie & #MickJagger entered the #Top10 at 9. It peaked at 7 on 12 Oct 1985. The song and video were created as a fund-raiser for #LiveAid, and shown twice during the concert. It's been included on several lists of the worst music videos, but I've seen many worse videos. Is "low concept" a thing? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HasaQvHCv4w #1980s #MusicHistory #MusicVideo

"African voices are still suppressed in the discussion of African disasters. In 2005, I wrote a critique of Bob Geldof and Live Aid, which focused on how their intervention could not be separated from neoliberal capitalist assault on African peoples." ~ Patricia Daley

Ik wist dat Bob Geldof. Boomtown Rats tijdens #liveaid “What reason do you need to die” zong ipv “What reason do you need to be shown?’

On 40th Anniversary Of #LiveAid, #BobGeldof Denounces “#Thuggery” Of #Trump, #Vance, #Musk As He Questions Why Charity Has Become “Almost An Embarrassment”
By Max Goldbart
June 30, 2025 1:18am"Bob Geldof didn’t mince words about those in charge across the pond as he celebrated 40 years of Live Aid.
" 'The thuggery of Musk, and Vance and Trump, this confederacy of dunces, these abject #fools,' he said at an event launching a set of BBC Live Aid shows late last week.
"Geldof was bemoaning how rather than upping charity as the world flounders under several generational #catastrophes, the response from the U.S. and others has been to 'cut it off.'
" 'These ketamine-crazed narcissists swing their f**king hedge trimmers around their heads and say, this weekend, we’re feeding #USAID to the wood chipper,' he added of the end of the U.S. Agency for International Development. 'Seriously, the strongest nation on Earth, the most powerful man on the planet, and the richest individual ever seen in the history of our world… cackle, over feeding U.S. help to the weakest, #MostVulnerable people in the world into the wood chipper. Ladies and gentlemen, there is something seriously f**ked about that.' " [Well said!!!]
