Thank You so much!

Wheres merle?

[@scottcoleman5088]

I thought you were gonna identify the whole show. Maybe I'll have to do it.

[@anakay7714]

I was there and it was the greatest time of my life. Before the beach boys came out it was cloudy ,cold, and raining. They started to perform and the sun came out. Was exciting.

[@babettestreet316]

😲 I'll bet!!

[@daveh9655]

I was there what a line up but I've always wondered why Kris didn't come out with the highwayman although Glen Campbell was awesome.

[@djoel3]

I was 14-years old and spent the entire day at or near the very front row from the first notes until the last notes...what a day, what a time. It's hard to believe that 37-years have passed, now older than Willie was on this day, I just saw him again this last week Sept 20th 2022 in New York's Central Park .... What a line up!

[@314Thethirdeye08]

Speaking of Willie, think about this. How many times was Willie’s bus stopped and arrests made for marijuana and hell it’s legal in probably 1/2 the US, and medical in even more places. Think of the changes he’s seen in his lifetime.

[@jmcdesign2928]

I had the good fortune to be able to attend Farm Aid 2019, at Alpine and Farm Aid 1985, in Champaign....how lucky I am...both most excellent experiences in live music and positivity!

[@lauriebak]

What an awesome show that was. Brings back great memories. I was a college student in Omaha at the time. We drove hours to get there, had a great day at the show, then drove hours back that night. Got maybe an hour of sleep before we had to go to class that Monday morning. Totally worth it!

[@u.s.militia7682]

Poor Loretta was about wore out. At least the lady made an effort where others wouldn’t. God bless her heart. 🇺🇸

[@connieakalou2194]

I was there with my best friend, her boyfriend, my boyfriend....we had the best time. Great music in one of my favorite places, Memorial Stadium.

[@angeladuke2541]

I was there! Just a kid and didn't realize the greatness before me. Mr Jones......❤😊

[@paulbroderick1572]

Thanks so much for posting this. I only have the syndicated highlights from 1985.

[@Spaceman1968]

What a lineup. I was honored to attend the Farm Aid 10 years later in Louisville.

[@hushantiquesvintage9756]

I was a volunteer reporter for WPGU. I found my original uncut interview tape this summer!

[@D.Hood56]

That is a hell of a lineup!!!

[@righthearproductions8934]

Ah, to go back to the 80s

[@mikestevenson576]

That country duo did a fine hosting job. Managed to sound as excited about Foreigner as they did about George Jones.

[@joannemolony1077]

Thank you for putting this on we couldn't see it in the UK

I would of loved to make it to Farm Aid 1985 they had tons of talent

[@big_fat_hen]

Except that it rained all day.

[@mp5249]

@@big_fat_hen it wasn't bad.

[@whywasitsoeasy]

@@big_fat_henam I crazy that that’s the biggest thing I remembered that day? I sat on those hard, metal bleachers in the rain all day…😂

[@gusmore26]

The "Economic Setbacks" the narrator is talking about started with Earl Butz (Secretary of Agriculture under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford) included Government Regulations that were designed to bankrupt the farmers and then offer some of them subsidies if they used Petroleum Chemicals based agriculture; the rest were bought out by big agribusiness and some of the small farmers that were willing, able, and ready to scale-up with the help of their government captors... ah, I mean "helpful 'Department of Agriculture' bureaucrats".

RIP to country musics Queen, Kentucky's own Loretta Lynn

I hate to be greedy, but can you post the rest of this awesome concert ?

[@johnmcclintock8004]

Loads of admiration for my man, Lou Reed..but he being a die-hard N.Y.C. boy, he is WAY out of his realm at this venue ...

Second chance music, where did you find this whole concert to post?

[@fighterofthenightman1057]

😂😂 As an Illini fan I was dying laughing at 2:46:00 when she asks the other announcer what the crowd is chanting when they were saying “I-L-L! I-N-I!” 😂 👏🏻🔶🔷

[@gussinks]

We drove up from the 'Lou and I had made a big orange banner with 30 inch letters that said "VAN HAGAR". When he came out my buddy Steve Bauer and I had each hoisted a chica up on our shoulders and had them raise it up and Sammy yelled out "GET THAT F"N BANNER UP HERE" and he pranced around with it and tossed on an amp. You can see the orange mound in the video during Rock and Roll. After the show they were moving everyone out and I went up the stage. It took 20 minutes of pleading before a kindly stage hand or security dude went and got my banner for me. It hung it Skiles basement for years. I wish I could get the raw footage of the moment he yelled out for it. It is not the banner you see later where Eddie jokes about his tiny dick....

Did DAC have a set or just that verse with Jones ? Scrubbed over this whole vid and didn’t see him

[@johnunderwood3132]

I would have been the only one to see X

[@andy4577]

Best concert I ever went to!!!!!

[@u.s.militia7682]

This was the last time America was America. I joined the army 3 years after this concert thinking I could pitch in. 18 years later I was fucking fed up and disgusted with what America had become. America grows weaker every passing day. I just hope I’m around when it implodes so I’ll have a chance to stamp out the ones who need it most. 🇺🇸

[@VirginiaHarris-Johnston-n3m]

Nice way to srart the farm aid ..good song too

[@CartersRemasters]

So cool.

[@314Thethirdeye08]

This was a time these stars used their voices for good in the world. They helped out the less fortunate. Put aside their egos, came together and got good work done. Just like with; We Are The World& Thats What Friends Are For. Now these kids in the business they just run their mouths spouting political views. They don’t care about the world or giving back with their money and talent. All these stars coukd get together and give some time to help the homeless situations we have in this country. They don’t have to do anything but give their time! Others will give and how many people could be helped from homelessness and drug abuse in 2023 from a collaboration like this. Think of the homeless children in the streets with drug addicts as parents. These people could help!

[@WhyAmIAnOrange]

If anybody can provide time stamps for all of this, I’d greatly appreciate it.

[@dustindavis9050]

That’s cool on I’m about 200lbs in & on the Brian Seltzer set I’m almost positive he’s using Billy Joel’s Drummer & Lead player .

[@reyesgamechannel4899]

what was the reason for this concert?

[@greenbeagle13]

So, did this make a difference for the American farmer? God knows our government pays other countries to have their stuff shipped over here. Wish our government would stay here and allow American farmers to grow what we need. Oh, and how I wish someone would have told Mike Love a long time ago he can't dance.

Vern Gosdin and Roger McGuinn are missing from it. I suspect there are quite a few more missing. Possible they would not give a release for the televised portion.

[@trailerparkpimp]

How much money, did the rubes give to this scheme? How much money was laundered back to these 'musicians' and shell corporations with their 'charities' where the board members were also the administrators of said charities?

[@trailerparkpimp]

@t luddite Are you a farmer? Do you understand how 'charity' drives work? How little you have to spend in charity to satisfy your 501c3 requirements? Do you understand how charitable trusts work? No, you just run on feeling good, and boasting about the clotshot booster you just got.
