Senate Happy 30th Anniversary Live Aid.

Where were you in... Err... '85?

Me, 13yo. At home, mid winter, trying to stay up all night.

 

At home, taping the whole thing. The Wembley stuff, especially Queen and U2, was tremenedous. The acts in Philidelphia I found to be rather disappointing.

 

I was 10 and not giving a **** about AIDS.

 

i was 10 as well and the most into pop music that i would ever be, so i watched it all.

 

I was nine and more concerned about watching Saturday Morning cartoons, because my sister (who was three years older than me and into music groups) wanted to watch and tape the event. I think my mother, using the wisdom parents had to in the age before DVR and OnDemand, sided with my sister.

That was okay, they were repeats anyway (I would assume by the time of year).

 

I was all of 6 and unawares.

 

I was 11--at my grandmas house.... watched the entire thing. It was the coolest thing I'd seen, at that point.

 

I have never seen this live aid.

 

I was approximately -2 years old.

 

I knew even then Dan Ackroyd looked out of place.

 

But you loved the Clapton set regardless...

 

I don't remember watching it.

 

Buy the DVDs.

 

Yo, yo, yo, can we get this thread title upped by a year, please?

 

I was 16 and lived for Queen, Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath so I watched those performances with wonder and awe. It was interesting to see Phil Collins play drums for Zeppelin.

 

That was my greatest fear.

 

Of course he played with Led Zeppelin. That man was everywhere in 1985.
Didn't he play both the UK and the US festival that day?

 

Yep.

 

Done

 

i was 4 and probably playing with transformers

 

I was 7... My granddad had died just a few day's before so that was focusing everybody's attention in our house...

I remember Queen in particular being amazing. Still one of THE big TV spectacles of my life... Even though I was very young and other things were going on, I was still aware that something fairly historic was happening.
