I want to go back to the 80s and stay for good this time!

[garymarquett]

I wish the 80s would come back and stay.😊

[lukasvh]

He was essence of the 80's men. Look, haircut, voice.

[MrMister]

Everyone talks about QUEEN but this act was 🔥🔥🔥

[elainepettrey]

I miss the 80's so you in a state of sadness..
Missing it so much 😥

[onlyme]

That backing singer earned his fee that day, very impressed

[sokamori]

Can't get over how great they sounded even live back then ❤

[bobhayden]

Little did the crowd know what was to come, but my, what a great underrated performance by Paul, the band, and the incredible backup singers!

[coryorlando]

Love it. Paul was a great performer and he owned the crowd and let his backup preform.

[rodcostav]

What a time these were to be alive... the sixties, seventies and eighties were the absolute highlight of our musical civilisation, it’s all downhill from there.

[josemoli]

There is no explanation for what I feel when listening to this song. It's like I've been rejuvenated until the 80's. It gives me strength to live the future listening to the past of the 80's!

[marwanmohamed]

The bass in this song is at another level.

[carterlaga]

Easily top 5 performance at live aid. Amazing band, vocals …perfection ....the dancing and the backup vocals amazing, solo lead

[petrpolach]

Maybe one of the most overlooked performances of the evening!

[synthnseq]

No autotune back then to save performers asses but there's our guy, out there in front of the world, electrical tape around his mic stand but giving it 100%, 100% of the time - because image only gets you so far.

[bokhans]

A few years after this I was one of about 60 people watching him performing in a park for free in the poring rain. There where more portable toilets than audience and still I remember his performance was stronger than this one. It was a radio station that paid and almost no one showed up.
He and the band still gave everything, it was a magical night and he is a true performer that give his all no matter how many is there! All cred to this man. love his music.

[RussDurling]

I watched the whole day, aged 13. I have the dvd boxset. I recently saw the stage musical. I have always said the greatest performance of the day was not Queen or U2 or Ultravox though they were fantastic - my favourite performance was Paul Young - top form by he, the band, & bvs

[RobinDale]

That guitar solo is what "no fear" looks like. You go out and nail it live in front of half a billion people.

[JohnPopcorn]

i wanna have a time machine and go back to this concert

[bluecoolcookie]

Please Take me back to 1985 and live aid one more time. Blue eyed soul 🙏 🇦🇺
