Broadcast across the world via one of the largest satellite link-ups of all time, the concerts were seen by around 40% of the global population.

Best cover version of this song ..... Bryan has such a sexy silky voice , noone else comes close

[@johnstimpson6834]

Look at how happy the people were back then. They were great times. Damn it

[@dkstojentin]

You can see him right there at 3:04 sweating, just whistling through it, thinking "Oh, what a complete mess this entire show is - I hope this sounds good" - when Gilmour put forth the most intense, beautiful 24 second guitar solo ever done IN THE WORLD - and still you see Bryan Ferry doubting himself. That's, in essence, Bryan Ferry in a nut-shell, probably one of the most self conscious, true, honest human beings on earth. He came on stage to perform four songs and he nailed every single one with so many technical problems that would have destroyed anybody else. This entire show was wonderful. It takes a genius to be able to whistle into a microphone that gently. He gave his soul and heart in this performance and does it EVERY SINGLE TIME he covers Jealous Guy. I love Bryan Ferry, forever, and I always will. He's amazing.

[@cstop777]

That’s the absolute truth about Ferry

[@Car-guy307]

Why 2 mics?

[@JK-ln8zv]

Great set! Gilmour and Ferry playing a John Lennon song! Just magic

[@BertisGuitar]

I like the way Gilmour points the cameraman across to the other guitarist taking the start of the solo...that's class!

[@chadpalomino7950]

FYI, the other guitarist is Chester Kamen. It shows what a true muso Dave Gilmour is by pointing out to the cameraman that the start of the solo wasn't him but Kamen. He knows he's already a rock music legend and wanted a super talented fellow muso to share the limelight. The cameras were a bit slow in the crossover back to Gilmour for his part of the solo but boy did he nail it.

[@MultiStrickland]

Shame the other guitarist didn’t return the compliment!

[@lapelcelery42]

[@jamesmcrory8990]

But to be honest that Chester has only got himself to blame :) your playing alongside one of the greatest guitarists in the world!!! Of course everyone mistakenly thought it was Gilmour.

The best cover version ever. I was 21 watching this at home. One of the greatest days for music I've ever witnessed. Ferry was/is effortlessly cool, and Wembley was a sea of happy faces enjoying a memorable day. And Status Quo started it all off. RIP Rick Parfitt.

[@bobdobalina838]

What an amazing voice. I'm just noticing this little warbling effect he does at the end of words. And what an amazing career. I think Avalon is one of the greatest albums ever made. And his solo album boys and girls is basically just if sex were made into music. Thanks for being a part of my youth Brian , love you man.

[@rokit430]

That's the 70s and I am so thankful to have grown up through them. People were real..music too..and fashion and hairstyles so glitter. Loved the disco too...I miss those times. Loved a bit of Ferry and Roxy too...woah that guitar piece first time 🎶

It was the perfect song to play at Live Aid for so many obvious reasons. That solo!

[@jamesgretsch4894]

In July 13th, 1985 in Hawaii where I lived, I was glued to MTV for Live Aid. I just graduated high school the previous month and was 17. Who thought at 17 that all these years later there would be an internet, KZbin, an archive of Live Aid and other videos of the past and that I'd be watching this today at age 51. Time flies. I do miss those days because the world although in trouble back then and in chaos was still much simpler and safer and fun than today. But like you all we make due with what we have and have to.

[@smurfmummy3106]

I was 5!! I can remember vividly watching it. Good times. I turned 39 the other day.... I'm suddenly aware of how fast life is going. We'll never see the likes of those from the 80's who gave us such talent and music. Today's music is dismal. My kids know more about music from then than now. My 9 year is often heard humming Comfortably Numb!!

[@cradlecap123]

As if the song wasn't good enough. We are are treated to a 1 minute whistle off from the man the musician Bryan Ferry . What a fucking PRO .

[@prathameshbhambure]

It's heartwarming to know that John's song was performed in the live aid. If John were alive, he'd rock that stage but we're not that lucky.

[@lucasmedeiros8326]

[@waltercorteselli]

Don't forget about Jon Carin

[@cacorivaro]

Both Jon Carin and David Gilmour were awsome so as Chester Kamen, who opens the guitar solo but... Phil Manzanera played the performance of his life in the original recording.

Don’t forget the greatest bassist to have ever lived Marcus Miller

A fitting and respectful tribute to Lennon.

[@davidwilliamdanielthomas9305]

This performance was transcendent, at the time, and has since becomes ageless and timeless. I know, I was there...way in the nosebleeds on the other end of the stadium...but the energy was like an endless, palpable tide flowing to and from the stage. There was never a day like it.

[@jerrychetty2524]

To this day I still haven’t heard a cover that betters the original - like this uniquely does - reminder it was Lennon who originally released it! As a live rendition, this is one of the best I’ve EVER heard. They don’t make’em like this any more.

[@Rowlph8888]

Have you heard Lou Reed's version at the John Lennon tribute concert? That is heartrending! *Lou regularly performed both "Mother and jealous guy" cover's at Velvet Underground concerts in the 70's, and 80s, but his own takes on them "of course".I generally didn't like his Live performances of the tracks at his own giggs, but for me the best version from any cover or John's, was lou's version at the tribute concert!

[@bensillitoe]

@@Rowlph8888An interesting opinion 👍 Ferry’s version went to #1 in the UK charts a few weeks before my grandfather passed away and myyounger brother was born which makes me slightly biased, I guess. The fact it’s the only #1 Roxy Music ever recorded and the personal poignancy linked to it,is why I hold it in such high regard 😊

The Beatles cover of Twist and Shout and You Really Got a hold in me were way better than the originals imo.
