as a follow-up to the christmas 1984 band aid single, duran duran performed in front of 90,000 people (and an estimated 1.5 billion tv viewers) at the live aid charity concert at john f. kennedy stadium in philadelphia, pennsylvania, on 13 july 1985 while their bond song held the top spot on the american charts. it was not intended to be a farewell performance—the band planned only to take a break after four years of non-stop touring and public appearances—but the original five did not play live together again until july 2003. during their live aid set, le bon inadvertently hit an off-key falsetto note in the chorus of "a view to a kill", an error that was trumpeted by numerous media outlets as "the bum note heard round the world" (in contrast to freddie mercury's "note heard round the world" at the wembley stadium live aid show). le bon later described the moment as the most embarrassing of his career.
