What a day this was, watched it all day. The highlight for me was Queen. We see them live the following year at Knebworth Park

I wonder what they will do next as they've released everything from that big stream show. What is left from Wembley is Bryan Ferry's Sensation, Boys & Girls and then some version of the Who with Pinball Wizard. Much more from Philadelphia.

Finally!, after all these years, the set is complete. Hope to see it up-scaled to 4k one day...

[melll]

keep these coming! There are two Bryan Ferry songs which haven't seen the light of day, which I'd love to see. Also, is there any way the lovely people filming in the crowd during The Who managed to get "Pinball Wizard"? Also also, some more from Philly would be amazing.

You know it's kinda funny that sometimes I forget other people besides Queen preformed at Live Aid. Freddie and the guys really blew it out if the park that day. The other artists knew it too. I think it was actually Elton (coulda been someone else) that came up to Freddie after their set and said "How the Hell are we supposed to follow that?" A very hard task but there were still some that did pretty good for themselves.

Was Marvin Gaye, who died not long before these concerts, originally scheduled to appear in Live Aid? And if so, did Elton John do this as a replacement? I can't find any record of Elton John recording this before the concert.
