Live Aid

[Alternative_Poster]

Live Aid was utter scheidt from start to finish.

Agreed most of it was pish , but Freddie and Queed did steal the show .

[1995_Oh_My_Sides_]

A bit of 'I Remember Nothing' & 'Passover' would've whipped the crowd into a frenzy



Edit - Not sure I agree about them not having the songs. Off the top of my head...

Digital
Shes Lost Control
A Means to an End
Twenty Four Hours
Shadowplay
Transmission
Isolation
Ceremony
Dead Souls
Love Will Tear Us Apart



That's a f*cking magic set list at any sized venue, even if I do say so myself

Crossed wires here. I like Joy Division but their music would have been wasted on that audience.

Queen stole it by a mile.

Naw they didny. [/quote]

I normally disagree with all the pish that EastStand_Elite posts, but he's bang on the money this time.

Personally, I can't stand Queen or U2. Queen were certainly set up for that type of gig though. Any gig in the mid 80s was unlikely to be any good due to the popular music at the time (sh*te).

I can't imagine Joy Division connecting with a stadium full of people or a worldwide audience of millions. Perhaps the Africans would've voluntarily topped themselves if they'd heard Joy Division?

I hope that wasn't too patronising or condescending for anyone.
