Live Aid

[237SJ]

What were you doing when the Live Aid concert was showing on tv in 1985?

I like the image of making the wine and how poignant it was :) a lifetime ago x

[237SJ]

Yes, it certainly was x

Bo Rhap looks so good... but I'd agreed with my youngest Bro to wait until he comes back from America, also a Big Queen fan (influenced by yours truly) we'd go see it together... next Tuesday.

If anyone was wondering what John Deacon looks like now:

I was in Malta at my in-laws. We must have been the only people on the planet that couldn’t watch it. :(

Goodgoalie estimated 105 million, and has to smoke outside. I know what you mean.

Couldn't WATCH it? I couldn't even HEAR it!

On a coach to Great (really?) Yarmouth and as soon as the concert started the bawbag driver changed stations and wouldn't be persuaded to retune.

What a nob douglas... maybe didn't realise the mass event it turned out to be, I've seen the documentary on it and quite amazing how they pulled it off quite frankly.

The guy has lived a life as a recluse for 35 years, happy in anonymity - until the Dail Mail prints his picture. :-(

I was still living at home when Live Aid was on but I can't really remember what I was doing.

With two children, I seem to remember I caught some of it but not as much as I'd have liked.
