Live Aid - July 13, 1985










On July 13, 1985 the world watched music play around the world and help feed the people of Africa.
Live Aid was the next step for  Bob Geldof and Midge Ure after releasing the Band Aid single
"Do They Know It's Christmas."
Live Aid was all day at Wembley Stadium in London, UK, attended by about 72,000 & John F. Kennedy Stadium in Philadelphia, US, attended by 89,484 people.
On the same day, concerts inspired by the initiative were held in other countries
It was one of the largest-scale satellite link-ups and television broadcasts of all time; an estimated audience of 1.9 billion, across 150 nations, watched the live broadcast, nearly 40% of the world population.
This is the complete 16 hour radio broadcast.
