Editorial Review: From Amazon.com: Billed as "the day music changed history," the Live Aid concerts of July 13, 1985, were held to raise money to fight the horrifying famines sweeping Africa. The brainchild of Bob Geldof and representing the efforts of countless musicians and technicians, Live Aid was a genuine and inspiring effort to help the victims of an overwhelming calamity. Twenty years after the twin concerts (one in London, one in Philadelphia) were broadcast worldwide, the 4-DVD treatment furthers the cause, with proceeds going toward the Band Aid Trust. The DVD set opens with a heartbreaking documentary on the crisis, followed by videos of the two hit songs that represented the collaborative nature of Geldof's efforts—Band Aid' s "Do They Know It's Christmas?" and USA for Africa's "We Are the World." Since Live Aid was never intended to be released in a recorded format, preservation of TV footage has been unreliable, resulting in some glaring omissions. Led Zeppelin's semi-reunion doesn't appear, and neither does a legendary session with Bob Dylan, Ron Wood, and Keith Richards. Some sets by performers who were popular at the time may inspire either nostalgic glee or head-scratching (Kiki Dee fans, you know who you are). Sprinkled amid these performances are a couple real gems, including a performance by Run DMC, the event's sole representative of the ascendant rap movement. Much of the music here was a passing fad, but the sentiment that brought it all together is timeless. -- Ryan Boudinot Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating: - Great band, great showQueen did know how to rock. No one can take that away from them. This is apparently the first rock concert to be filmed entirely in 35mm? So I've heard. But I have also heard that Freddie didn't make the cameramen's jobs easy at all, LOL. I watched this concert (mostly) a few months ago on PBS. Of course, they do take the pledge breaks which are about as interesting as watching paint dry, but are a necessary evil for the sake of this great station. Back to the concert: KILLER. Not much more to say. Freddie's soaring vocals, Brian May's intensely creative guitar with huge tones, Roger Deacon's thundering gargantuan drum kit and John Deacon's substantial bass tone all come together in one hugely satisfying package. Rating:  - "QUEEN ROCK MONTREAL AND LIVE AID"There's no question Queen's musical legacy lives on more than seventeen years after their last album with Freddy Mercury was released, although they never 'officially' disbanded, and all it takes is hearing The Darkness, Miko, The Killers and Panic At The Disco, to name a few, and you'll recognize the signature Queen sound and how it's influenced new generations of musicians. That's why this 2 DVD set is such an important part of rock music history. Disc 1 features twenty-six songs recorded in Montreal in 1981 and although there was some 'tweaking' of the audio and the whole thing was re-mastered, the end result is fantastic. You get what are probably the band's best performances of "We Will Rock You", "Play The Game", "Keep Yourself ...

The only distraction or retraction is Freddies hot pants ... a little over the top ... or under dressed shall we say ... Rating:  - Live Aid - 20 Years Ago Today the one DVD versionThe Live Aid package of four DVD is certainly good but the one DVD version is not. There is no complete song on the DVD so listening to it feel like someone in the eighty keep on changing Radio station on you. This DVD is made to sale you the big package so it is not even worth the low price the sale it for. Rating: - Retro Fun and Memorable PerfomancesWith the recent Live 8 concerts success, it is a good time to get the original Live Aid DVD for your collection. The DVD's are great fun, especially seeing a younger U2 with Bono and Edges' hair. The lasting success of this great band are obvious when you watch them 20 years ago. Highlights are: Queen - absolutely the show stopper and best performances, bar none. RIP Freddy Mercury The Who - Watch "The Ox" on bass. Quietly standing there playing massive riffs. RIP John Entwhistle. Black Sabbath - One song only :( Forgot that Tony, Geezer and Bill all looked the same back then. Ha. Still going strong today, and Ozzy has been back in Sabbath since 1999. U2 - See above Notable mentions: Read More: |
