The original event was organised by and to raise funds for relief of the ongoing.

Billed as the 'global jukebox', the event was held simultaneously at in, England (attended by 72,000 people) and in, Pennsylvania, United States (attended by about 100,000 people). On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative happened in other countries, such as the,,,,, and. It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated global audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast.

In October 1984, images of millions of people starving to death in Ethiopia were shown in the UK in 's BBC News reports on the.

Bob Geldof saw the report, and called Midge Ure from Ultravox, and together they quickly co-wrote the song, 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' In the hope of raising money for famine relief.

Geldof then contacted colleagues in the music industry and persuaded them to record the single under the title ' for free. On 25 November 1984, the song was recorded at in, London, and was released four days later. It stayed at in the UK, was, and became the fastest-selling single ever in Britain and raised £8 million, rather than the £70,000 Geldof and Ure had initially expected. Geldof then set his sights on staging a huge concert to raise further funds. The idea to stage a charity concert to raise more funds for Ethiopia originally came from, the lead singer of. George and Culture Club drummer had taken part in the recording of 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' And in December 1984 Culture Club were undertaking a tour of the UK, which culminated in six nights.

On the final night at Wembley, Saturday 22 December 1984, an impromptu gathering of some of the other artists from Band Aid joined Culture Club on stage at the end of the concert for an encore of 'Do They Know It's Christmas?' George was so overcome by the occasion he told Geldof that they should consider organising a benefit concert. Speaking to the UK music magazine at the beginning of January 1985, Geldof revealed his enthusiasm for George's idea, saying, 'If George is organising it, you can tell him he can call me at any time and I'll do it. It's a logical progression from the record, but the point is you don't just talk about it, you go ahead and do it!' It was clear from the interview that Geldof had already had the idea to hold a dual venue concert and how the concerts should be structured: 'The show should be as big as is humanly possible. There's no point just 5,000 fans turning up at; we need to have Wembley linked with and the whole show to be televised worldwide. It would be great for to play three or four numbers at Wembley and then flick to Madison Square where would be playing.

While he's on, the Wembley stage could be made ready for the next British act like or whoever. In that way lots of acts could be featured and the television rights, tickets and so on could raise a phenomenal amount of money. It's not an impossible idea, and certainly one worth exploiting.' Organization [ ]. This section needs additional citations for. Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (October 2014) () Among those involved in organising Live Aid were, who was responsible for the Wembley Stadium concert, and, who put together the American leg.

The concert grew in scope, as more acts were added on both sides of the Atlantic., inventor of, was able to secure through his friendship with Philadelphia and was able to procure, through his connections with 's chief, John Hamlin, a three-hour prime time slot on the ABC Network and, in addition, was able to supplement the lengthy program through meetings that resulted in the addition of an ad-hoc network within the USA, which covered 85 percent of TVs in the United States. Verna designed the needed satellite schematic and became the Executive Director as well as the Co-Executive Producer along with.

Uplinger came up with the idea to produce a four-hour video edit of Live Aid to distribute to those countries without the necessary satellite equipment to rebroadcast the live feed. Collaborative effort [ ] The concert began at 12:00 British Summer Time (BST) (7:00 Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)) at in the United Kingdom. It continued at (JFK) in the United States, starting at 13:51 BST (8:51 EDT). The UK's Wembley performances ended at 22:00 BST (17:00 EDT). The JFK performances and whole concert in the US ended at 04:05 BST 14 July (23:05 EDT).

Thus, the concert continued for just over 16 hours, but since many artists' performances were conducted simultaneously in Wembley and JFK, the total concert's length was much longer. And intended to perform an intercontinental duet, with Bowie in London and Jagger in Philadelphia. Problems of synchronization meant the only remotely practical solution was to have one artist, likely Bowie at Wembley, mime along to prerecorded vocals broadcast as part of the live sound mix for Jagger's performance from Philadelphia. Veteran music engineer David Richards ( and ) was brought in to create footage and sound mixes Jagger and Bowie could perform to in their respective venues. The BBC would then have had to ensure those footage and sound mixes were in synch while also performing a live vision mix of the footage from both venues. The combined footage would then have had to be bounced back by satellite to the various broadcasters around the world.

Due to the time lag (the signal would take several seconds to be broadcast twice across the ), Richards concluded there was no way for Jagger to hear or see Bowie's performance, meaning there could be no interaction between the artists, essentially defeating the whole point of the exercise. On top of this, both artists objected to the idea of miming at what was perceived as a historic event. Instead, Jagger and Bowie worked with Richards to create a video clip of the song they would have performed, a cover of ', which was shown on the screens of both stadiums and broadcast as part of many TV networks coverage. Each of the two main parts of the concert ended with their particular continental all-star anti-hunger anthems, with 's ' closing the UK concert, and 's ' closing the US concert (and thus the entire event itself). Concert organizers have subsequently said they were particularly keen to ensure at least one surviving member of, ideally, took part in the concert as they felt that having an 'elder statesman' from British music would give it greater legitimacy in the eyes of the political leaders whose opinions the performers were trying to shape. McCartney agreed to perform and has said it was 'the management' – his children – who persuaded him to take part.

In the event, he was the last performer (aside from the Band Aid finale) to take to the stage and one of the few to be beset by technical difficulties; his microphone failed for the first two minutes of his piano performance of ', making it difficult for television viewers and impossible for those in the stadium to hear him. He later joked by saying he had thought about changing the lyrics to 'There will be some feedback, let it be'. Performed at both Wembley Stadium and JFK, travelling by helicopter (piloted by UK TV personality ) to, then by to, and by another helicopter to Philadelphia. Aside from his own set at both venues, he also played the drums for, and played with the reuniting surviving members of at JFK. On the Concorde flight, Collins encountered actress and singer, who was unaware of the concerts. Upon reaching the US, she attended the Philadelphia concert and can be seen performing as part of the concert's ' finale.

An official book was produced by Bob Geldof in collaboration with photographer. The broadcasts [ ] Broadcaster opened the Live Aid concert with the words: “ It's twelve noon in London, seven AM in Philadelphia, and around the world it's time for Live Aid. ” The concert is the most ambitious international satellite television venture that had ever been attempted at the time.

In Europe, the feed was supplied by the, whose broadcast was presented by,,,,, Steve Blacknell,, and and included numerous interviews and chats in between the various acts. The sound feed was mono, as was all UK TV audio before was introduced, but the feed was stereo and was simulcast in sync with the TV pictures.

Unfortunately, in the rush to set up the transatlantic feeds, the sound feed from Philadelphia was sent to London via transatlantic cable, while the video feed was via satellite, which meant a lack of synchronisation on British television receivers. Due to the constant activities in both London and Philadelphia, the BBC producers omitted the reunion of from their broadcast.

The BBC, however, did supply a to various television channels in Europe. Was largely responsible for the US broadcast (although ABC themselves only telecast the final three hours of the concert from Philadelphia, hosted by, with the rest shown in syndication through, acting on behalf of ABC).

An entirely separate and simultaneous US feed was provided for cable viewers by, whose broadcast was presented in stereo, and accessible as such for those with stereo televisions. At the time, before was enacted nationwide, very few televisions reproduced stereo signals and few television stations were able to broadcast in stereo. While the telecast was run commercial-free by the BBC, both the MTV and syndicated/ABC broadcasts included advertisements and interviews. As a result, many songs were omitted due to the commercial breaks, as these songs were played during these slots.

The biggest issue of the syndicated/ABC coverage is that the network had wanted to reserve some of the biggest acts that had played earlier in the day for certain points in the entire broadcast, particularly in the final three hours in prime time; thus, Orbis Communications had some sequences replaced by others, especially those portions of the concert that had acts from London and Philadelphia playing simultaneously. For example, while the London/Wembley finale was taking place at 22:00 (10:00 pm) London time, syndicated viewers saw segments that had been recorded earlier, so that ABC could show the UK finale during its prime-time portion.

In 1995, VH1 and aired a re-edited ten-hour re-broadcast of the concert for its 10th Anniversary. At one point midway through the concert, announced he had just been informed that 95% of the television sets around the world were tuned to the event, though this can of course not be verified.

The Live Aid concert in London was also the first time that the BBC sound equipment had been used for an event of such scale. In stark contrast to the mirrored sound systems commonly used by the rock band touring engineers, with two 40–48 channel mixing consoles at the, and another pair for monitors, the BBC sound engineers had to use multiple 12 channel desks. Some credit this as the point where the mainstream entertainment industry realised that the rock concert industry had overtaken them in technical expertise. Wembley Stadium [ ] The band opened with the 'Royal Salute', '. Started their set with ', also playing ' and fan favourite 'Don't Waste My Time'. This would be the last appearance by the band to feature bassist and founder member and drummer who had joined the band three years earlier, although Lancaster and drummer briefly rejoined Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt to reform the most successful line-up of Status Quo and play two short tours in 2013 and 2014 under the name the 'Frantic Four'. 's performance on the day has since been voted by more than 60 artists, journalists and music industry executives as the greatest live performance in the history of rock music.

Queen's lead singer at times led the crowd in unison refrains, and his sustained note during the section came to be known as 'The Note Heard Round the World'. The band's 20-minute set opened with ' and closed with '. Mercury and fellow band member later sang the first song of the three-part Wembley event finale, ' Other well-received performances on the day included those by and. Cited Live Aid as the event that made stars of U2. The band played a 14-minute rendition of ', during which lead vocalist jumped off the stage to join the crowd and dance with a girl.

The length of their performance of 'Bad' limited them to playing just two songs; the third, ', had to be dropped. In July 2005, the girl with whom he danced said that he actually saved her life at the time.

She was being crushed by the throngs of people pushing forwards; Bono saw this, and gestured frantically at the ushers to help her. They did not understand what he was saying, and so he jumped down to help her himself.

David Bowie's performance has been described by as 'arguably Bowie's last triumph of the 1980s'. Performed with the rest of the Boomtown Rats, singing '.

Eplan Pro Panel 2.2 Keygen. He stopped just after the line 'The lesson today is how to die' to loud applause. He finished the song and left the crowd to sing the final words. Sang a version of ' ', which he introduced by asking the audience to 'help [him] sing this old northern English folk song'.

The UK reception of the US feed failed several times and was dogged throughout the US concert by an intermittent regular buzzing on the audio from the US (see the John F. Kennedy Stadium section for more detail) and also failed during their relay of Japan's concert, which blacked out most of 's song 'Endless Nights'. In addition, the broadcast from suffered technical problems and failed during 's performance of their song ', immediately after sang 'Why don't you all fade.' (the last word was cut off when a blown fuse caused the Wembley stage TV feed to temporarily fail). The Who played with on drums and it was their first performance since they'd officially disbanded after their 1982 'farewell' tour.

The Who's performance included an at times chaotic but still blistering version of '. The band's performance was described as 'rough but right' by Rolling Stone, but they would not perform together again until the 1988. While performing ' near the end of the show, the microphone mounted to 's piano failed for the first two minutes of the song, making it difficult for television viewers and the stadium audience to hear him.

During this performance, the TV audience were better off, audio-wise, than the stadium audience, as the TV sound was picked up from other microphones near McCartney. The stadium audience, who could obviously not hear the electronic sound feed from these mikes, unless they had portable TV sets and radios, drowned out what little sound from Paul could be heard during this part of his performance. As a result, organiser and performer Bob Geldof, accompanied by earlier performers, Alison Moyet and Pete Townshend returned to the stage to sing with him and back him up (as did the stadium audience despite not being able to hear much), by which time, Paul's microphone had been repaired. At the conclusion of the Wembley performances, was raised onto the shoulders of the Who's guitarist and Paul McCartney. Kennedy Stadium [ ].
