Live aid 40 years on

[cluffy]

Ozzy and Sabbath

 

[Shinpad]

Ozzy. Man all these years later sings this as his last song Now that’s a front man

 

[Monty Pigeon]

Ozzy looking like Danny La Rue.

 

[Cee Jay]

Tony Iommi

 

[Georgewhitt]

Just watching the concert again now.

Did anybody read the room worse than Adam Ant ffs.

 

[cluffy]

Never understood how folk thought Ozzy was some kind of satanic figure - he’s always getting everyone to clap like he’s leading a playgroup

 

[Shinpad]

Time for a piss break Elton’s on

 

[cluffy]

Looks like Reggie Le Bris is one of Elton’s backing vocalists?

 

[Monty Pigeon]

Nobody plays a tamborine like Ray Cooper.

 

[Skylon]

Looks like Reggie Le Bris is one of Elton’s backing vocalists?

Nice shorts!
Everyone of these singers ,band members,were probably off their tits during live aid. The height of the cocaine scene. Elton looks wired

 

[townboy]

Rocket man man

 

[Shinpad]

He’s shite

 

[cluffy]

Why have the BBC decided to put them bookend Liveaids on the screen? Looks shite and makes it feel a bit cramped

 

[CissesUnderpants9]

George @Daffy

 

[Shinpad]

George Michael top singer and apparently one of the most humble superstars you could ever wish to meet

 

[cluffy]

Superb singer was George.

If they did a Live Aid nowadays it’d be at least 50% backing tracks and miming

 

[Monty Pigeon]

Wonder if Ridgeley's mic is on.

 

[cluffy]

Wonder if Ridgeley's mic is on.

He was sharing Kiki Dee’s so yes

 

[Shinpad]

Wonder if Ridgeley's mic is on.

Apparently he’s made a fortune of the likes of careless whisper because George Michael shared the writing credits with him .Genuine fella was George

 

[JAZZMANB]

One of them points that out tbf, Roger daltry possibly.

Are there any real top bands that the crowd would respond to? The killers maybe?

Who would be the modern day -
Bowie?
Elton?
Sting?
Style council?
U2?
Queen?

The music machine that found, funded, encouraged, nurtured those acts no longer exists . All those acts took a while to peak and find their way. No money in it now
