I'm 44. I heard this song on the radio back in the day. I don't need likes to justify this.

[rastanz]

That bassline had its own vocal melody... Pino Palladino is a genius bassist... and those bv's!!! Fantastic performance!!!

This was the best decade to be alive, just before the internet and cell phones ruined our life with no return to normalcy

The 1980s were just a flat out 10 out of 10 when it came to music. As a 47 year old guy who got live through this amazing decade I come to appreciate it even more when considering the state of things in America in 2021. Blessed to have been an 80s child !

When they truly sang, no autotune, just pure talent

The guy couldnt fake it if he wanted to. Truly one of the greats. And I was privileged to see him live in Melbourne

I was in my brother’s hospital room (brain tumor) and he and I watched it that day in 1985. I will never forget the bond.

Good times when we dreamed of saving the world through music ...

[CutesyShelf]

He sounds amazing live! Love this performance!

[rmkw]

I love Paul's energy on stage.
This performance helped it become a no.1 hit in the US.

[lillusboy]

When he said ‘ I can’t stand it, I don’t want it’. Wow, simply magical…

[susanomelina]

Music like this will always be a treasure to those of us who grew up in the 80s ❤❤❤🙂

[anomalees]

So iconic. ‘80s will never die. Live Aid in 1985 was a watershed memory. Paul Young is class. No auto tune or click tracks here. No cell phone interference either. Everytime You Go Away. ❤.

[brentbailey]

[GustavoD-nbcu]

[acetungcul]

Does anybody has a time machine..? I just want to go back to the 80's era and never come back..

[chaseallen]

it's crazy how these songs will just keep crossing over from generation to generation 😍

I was 24 years old in 1985 when live aid was staged. I watched every minute of it from Status Quo opening it with 'Rockin' All Over The World'. A remarkable day in which two performances really stood out for me. It wasn't an opinion formed later with repeated viewing. i thought it immediately afterwards, Queen and Paul Young. I hadn't realised Paul Young was such a powerful vocalist till I saw this on the day. This was an especially good performance of this song.
