The day rock n roll changed the world. Put together in 1985 in a matter of months, on two continents and featuring the biggest assembly of pop and rock stars ever, Live Aid was arguably the greatest moment in the 50-year history of rock n’ roll. It’s estimated that 85% of the world’s television sets were tuned in to watch greats like Paul McCartney David Bowie, Sting, Bryan Adams, Boy George, The Who, Mick Jagger, Madonna, Eric Clapton, Neil Young, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath and many more - the list is endless.
More than 10 hours of re-mastered performances presented in a superb 4 DVD set. Royalties will continue to provide hunger relief in Africa through Band Aid Trust.
