I believe it's nearly 40 years since Live Aid. Did anyone go . I remember watching it on the TV .

Watched like you on TV recall Quo and Rockin all over the world , it elevated Queen to cult status it not only offered great entertainment but raised awareness at a time of great suffering , did it change the world , yes for a while but sadly the same issues and more remain.

You don't really realise just how unique and life changing such a massive event was until you look back.....I actually look back in awe at the whole day.....the line ups on both sides of the Atlantic.....the logistics involved to stage such a mammoth event.....I feel TRULY BLESSED to have witnessed it live......and it is so scary that it was 40 years ago !!!!!...WHERE DID ALL THAT TIME GO ?????....we all forget how old we all are !!!....after all...I saw Sting performing in Liverpool on Sunday.....and he is........73 !!!!!!!!.
X!

Sting - 73 years old and still singing, despite all the abuse his voice must have suffered from performing rock music. In 2009, he released the album, If On a Winter's Night. Quieter music with lute accompaniment, among other instruments. You could hear the damage, but the underlying vocal quality was still there.
