Standing center stage at Wembley on the 13th July 1985, witnessing the most stunning performance of my life, I’m now 55 and feel so blessed to be able to say “I was there”

my brother died today. U2 was his lifelong favorite band. His dog's name is Bono. I'm in tears as I write this. Roger battled demons and was one of The Beautiful Souls on this rock we live on. I can't think of a better song to play in tribute. Go easy, my brother. I love you, man.

People aren’t overestimating when they say this is one of the greatest live performances in music history. Wow

Bono was only 25 years old. The confidence and swagger were off the charts. Amazing band!

That, right there, was a fucking ROCK & ROLL BAND! No autotune, no time correction, no pro tools. Just real people playing from their hearts.

Here I am 73 years old...I remember this incredible event as if it were yesterday. On that hot and humid July day in 1985, I was three stories up on a ladder painting my upstate New York house while Live Aid poured through speakers in a nearby window. When U2 came on, I literally "froze" on that tall ladder in awe of what I was hearing. God Bless the 1980's...🤗🤗👍👍

I waited all afternoon to see U2 perform at Live Aid, I was 14 years old. I'm just a black girl from Indiana and this performance had me sobbing. U2 music has touched me deep into my spiral soul. Thank you for almost 40 years of transcending music and love. Happy Birthday Bono.

“We were supposed to play three songs, ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’, ‘Bad’ and ‘Pride’, which was our hit. But then Bono went missing, ” recalls Adam, in U2 by U2. “In the middle of Bad, ” remembers Larry, “he want on a wander trying to pick out some girls to dance with. It felt like he was gone forever. We were quite jittery as it was, and when Bono went missing, a certain panic ensued.”

“I was totally thrown, ” remembers Edge. “And I’m looking at Adam and Larry to see if they know what’s going on and they’re looking back at me with panic on their faces. Next thing I spot him way down below clambering over the last of the barriers to get to the people..."

Bono's Roadie on BAD at Live Aid, Greg Carroll, was tragically killed 12 months after Live Aid performance. He died on July 3, 1986.
Footnote on BAD and the amazing roadie that follows Bono around on stage: His name was Greg Carroll, a New Zealand Maori whom Bono and the band met while on tour in NZ. Bono was really impressed with Greg and asked him to join the band on their world tour. Greg eventually became Bono's personal assistant. That was him on Live Aid, it was magic watching him effortlessly following Bono, knowing where and when he needed him.

A year after Live Aid, Greg died in a motorbike accident on July 3, 1986. He was riding Bono's Harley back to Bono's house on a rainy night inn Dublin when a car drove out in front of him. Bono had flown to Texas to sing with Willie Nelson that day, but when he heard the news he flew back to Ireland immediately.

Bono, Ali, and other members of the U2 crew flew with Greg's body to New Zealand, met his family and attended his funeral. Bono sang “Let it Be” and “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” in tribute to his late friend. Bono wrote “One Tree Hill.” in memory of Greg. One Tree Hill is a place in NZ that Greg took the band to when he met them first. So Greg's death inspired 'One Tree Hill' .... R.I.P Greg.. you helped make U2's Live Aid performance special.
