These were peak years for u2. Brian May have got the Mercury rising for some in the crowd but I still say Bono had the 'Edge' that day in 1985 Im not sure if there was a best act at Live Aid, but the singing and performance of this band on that Saturday in July 1985 was up there at the top ! Bonos singing is off the scale, the feeling he got in to his singing is amazing

I agree mostly but just like ‘feminity’, the concept of masculinity is hard to keep up with and changes within different times and cultures. Bono is showing his heart, tenderness and sensitivity here. Long hair, normal unsculpted body, not an ounce of aggression or arrogance here. It looks like beautiful strong masculinity to me but men are often conditioned or expected to express masculinity in more aggressive ways. In the same way that what is fashionably ‘feminine’ (mostly anything artificial and consumerist) is not what I see as admirably feminine.

This performance kickstarted the European leg of Live Aid into life. There's been a lot of revisionism since Freddie's death about who stole the show...trust me, watching at the time, people were asking, "Who are these Irish boys??" U2 brought absolute magic (and no little drama) into proceedings. As the evening drew in, Elton John and Queen built on this momentum, making for a magical night of music.

Bono's Roadie on BAD at Live Aid, Greg Carroll, was tragically killed 12 months after Live Aid performance. He died on July 3, 1986. Footnote on BAD and the amazing roadie that follows Bono around on stage: His name was Greg Carroll, a New Zealand Maori whom Bono and the band met while on tour in NZ. Bono was really impressed with Greg and asked him to join the band on their world tour. Greg eventually became Bono's personal assistant. That was him on Live Aid, it was magic watching him effortlessly following Bono, knowing where and when he needed him. A year after Live Aid, Greg died in a motorbike accident on July 3, 1986. He was riding Bono's Harley back to Bono's house on a rainy night inn Dublin when a car drove out in front of him. Bono had flown to Texas to sing with Willie Nelson that day, but when he heard the news he flew back to Ireland immediately. Bono, Ali, and other members of the U2 crew flew with Greg's body to New Zealand, met his family and attended his funeral. Bono sang “Let it Be” and “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” in tribute to his late friend. Bono wrote “One Tree Hill.” in memory of Greg. One Tree Hill is a place in NZ that Greg took the band to when he met them first. So Greg's death inspired 'One Tree Hill' .... R.I.P Greg.. you helped make U2's Live Aid performance special. There is a more in-depth story on One Tree Hill and its meaning. Greg has been immortalised by U2.. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Tree_Hill_(song)

I'm with you friend. I remember eagerly waiting for it and all the talk about who was and wasn't playing, some were saying not very nice things about those who didn't play like Michael Jackson ,Bruce Springsteen ,I don't know if Rod Stewart played. or Elton John. Sprinsteen was on his honeymoon and donated something and he and M.Jackson did the single USA for Africa. I loved when Phil Collins played London then got the Concorde to Philly ,it was a great idea. Plus the likes of Led Zeppelin ,Jimmy Page look totally smashed but he was awesome on the guitar ,Eric Clapton and Phil Collins also played with Led Zeppelin ,and Keith Richards and Ronnie Woods played with Bob Dylan .I think it was Ron Wood. It's mad when all the 60's acts played ,my mates and i were 19 and we all thought Macca and the Stones Dylan were old lol . But the reality song that ht was the Cars Drive and the Video ,100.000 just went silent some wept i shed a tear ,Billy Connelly was crying , it just was This is what it's about. And the Who were broken up but got together for that day, It was the early stages of Glasnost and even Gorby let the Russians watch ,it was the greatest rock/pop show ever.

Yes he was brilliant Jonathan.. Bono's PA on BAD at Live Aid, Greg Carroll, was tragically killed 12 months after Live Aid performance . Greg Carroll, a New Zealand Maori whom Bono and the band met while on tour in NZ. Bono asked him to join the Band on their world tour. Greg eventually he became Bono's personal assistant. That was him on Live Aid, it was magic watching him effortlessly following Bono, knowing where and when he needed him. Greg was riding Bono's Harley back to Bono's house in Dublin on a wet rainy night when a car drove out in front of him. Bono had flown to Texas to sing with Willie Nelson that day, but when he heard the news he flew back to Ireland immediately. Bono, Ali, and other members of the U2 organisation then flew with Carroll’s body to New Zealand, met his family and attended his funeral. Bono sang “Let it Be” and “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” in tribute to his late friend. Bono wrote “One Tree Hill.” in memory of Greg. One Tree Hill is a place in NZ that Greg took the band to when he met them first. So Gregs death inspired 'One Tree Hill' R.I.P Greg.. you helped make U2's Live Aid performance special.

Some said The Beatles, some said Led Zepplin, still others said Black Sabbath. The bands that did play were amazing. A week after this my older sister gave birth to her second son. He now has a six year old. And me? Still kicking around at 54. I keep healthy by walking five miles (8 kilometers) a day and I still STILL listen to rock. Hehehe.

8:21 Adam “We were supposed to play three songs, ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday’, ‘Bad’ and ‘Pride’, which was our hit. But then Bono went missing,” recalls Adam, in U2 by U2. “In the middle of Bad,” remembers Larry, “he want on a wander trying to pick out some girls to dance with. It felt like he was gone forever. We were quite jittery as it was, and when Bono went missing, a certain panic ensued.” “I was totally thrown,” remembers Edge. “And I’m looking at Adam and Larry to see if they know what’s going on and they’re looking back at me with panic on their faces. Next thing I spot him way down below clambering over the last of the barriers to get to the people..."

I remember fetching a breast pump for my wife to extract milk to be able to feed her. But the point was that I was wearing a 'Live Aid' T shirt ❤ By the way, she's now a mother of two and just ran her first marathon . Just a nice memory of those times.

i saw this on television during the American broadcast. I had just gotten The Unforgettable Fire for my birthday in 1985 and was completely in love with U2. 36 years later, this is still my favorite song by them and they have been my favorite group ever since. i know everyone likes to say that Queen's performance was the definitive performance of LIVE AID but I would have to give that nod to U2. I cried when I first saw this in 1985 and I cry every time i come to KZbin and watch this performance, now.

Maria, I totally agree with you. I was 20 when this amazing day took place! Yes, for me as well, U2 totally stole the event and this is my favourite U2 track too! LiveAid was the making of U2 on an international level and they just never looked back. I remember I was going on a date and being taken out to dinner so I was video recording this and the evening acts. I was getting when U2 played and was dancing around the bedroom putting my makeup on! I've just noticed the stage clock and it shows 6.30pm...not bad for a 35 year old memory!

Hi Maria, totally agree unreservedly. I remember watching this live on tv at home just before leaving to catch the bus to meet my future wife. We had been courting for a few months and I remember watching my watch nervously as I was tore between running to the bus and watching this epic performance. I left in time and made it to meet my wife! I think on reflection it is still one of the best days of my life as it was my Mum’s birthdays too. We were immensely proud Irish people and although Mum’s gone I still am now! What a brilliant day.

I saw this live on MTV, and I think this performance of "Bad" was by far the greatest live performance I have ever seen. Every member of U2 and that huge crowd at Wembley Stadium were absolutely brilliant. This was not one of their better known songs at the time, and it was so different from the album version. And I think this song captured the spirit of that incredible day, "wide awake, I'm not sleeping." And thanks to MTV for not loading up their broadcast with commercials and talk during the performances like the US network TV broadcast.

The unforgettable fire had been released 9 months earlier (I still consider it U2’s best album ). I agree with you that Bad wasn’t well known even though this performance and in future tours it got a run out . Funnily enough when I was at uni mid 90s my gf at the time used to get wound up that her best mate ( massive u2 fan ) and I considered Bad their best song and she hadn’t even heard of it

That roar when he jumps down off the stage gets me every single time I come back to this performance. It's on my watch later continually. We wrongly were fans of U2 in our teens because they were seen as Rebel or Republican supporters. Tricolour at Scottish football matches. When he made the statement at Redrock that Sunday Bloody Sunday was not a rebel song it made us respect them all the more. Ireland moving on but that hatred and sectarianism in Scotland is as rife today as it was in the early 80s. Some people are just retarded. Still to date my favourite band worldwide. This is their best performance ever
