Not many musicians have the balls to sit down at a piano in front of 80, 000 people, and pull this one off. He's a very accomplished pianist, I love the way he plays the chords in this. The absolute highlight of Live Aid for me !

Heard him on interview today talking about this performance, he chose it because it’s his favourite song and a hopeful message relevant to the occasion, he thought he started off rushing into the song but once the crowd started singing along he was surprised yet delighted, a moment he still holds dear, he’s one of the best performers from the eighties in my opinion

This is one of the reasons Live Aid can never be repeated today.. There's not enough talent or true live performers in today's music scene

I saw him in Glasgow just a few years after this, where he played in a church which was used as a practice hall by the Scottish National Orchestra. It was just him, piano and a girl on percussion, and it was fantastic. He was so down to earth, and had the time to speak to anyone at the end of the concert, one that I will never forget.

Watching this, hearing this, and singing this, on repeat, has been my salvation during quarantine. Holding fast to this gem from the past has kept me hopeful toward an unncertain future. TY and I ❤ u HJ.
