. give or take a few hour of course but i still have vivid memory of this ultimate concert . as soon a it be announce i wish i could have attend it but a you can imagine ticket for the wembly gig be somewhat difficult to get your hand on . i do hear via a friend of mine rab kincaid that his sister vicki get a ticket and would be go to london on the 13th of july and i do feel some self sorrow because the previous summer my sister act a courier want to know if i want to go out with vicki but i turn her down . she be a very nice girl with a highly developed body for a teenager but from the neck upwards she look disturbingly like celtic footballer star maurice johnstone with a mullet hairstyle . i wasn not and never will be the sort of guy who would ever go out with a girl for ulterior motif but it do flash through my mind in the early summer of 1985 that if i would be go out with vicki i might have be able to get a live aid concert ticketstill not to worry it be go to be broadcast live on television and i be really look forward to see my musical hero u2 perform . i keep rub my hand wonder what their set list be go to be while i play their live lp under a blood red sky to death and i be really hop they be go to perform i will follow . so on the day of the concert i be wish the dross support act like status quo and howard jones and paul young and adam ant ( who play the title track of his new album . ) would just go away and let bono and the boy show the audience how it do . at 5 oclock the transmission alternatively switch from wembley to jfk staduim philidelphia where we saw the bryan adam set . jack nicholson say be go back to london to hear a band who aren1t afraid to speak their mind and u2 come on to perform the appropriate sunday bloody sunday . unfortunately their second track be bad a song i have never take to and bono spent so much time jump into the audience to get a girl to dance with him that they have to scrap their third track pride . in fact i think their whole set be a major disappointment that i couldn not believe the positive feed back they get in the press later and there be no one more surprised than the band themselves . major disappointment aside i still stay in to watch the rest of the concert most of which i watch on my sister portable black and white tv and it wasn not until a few day later that i start digest what a monumental event it be where queen steal the show with their medley and where bob geldof swore live on air ( in those day bad language on television be still very rare ) and the dominance of british music that saw every act at wembly hail from the british isle and where a third of the act at the american concert be also british and and the strange fact within a couple of year many of the act at wembly have disappear from the chart altogether . but without doubt the abide memory for me be the entire lack of cynicism . artist go out of their way to give a concert while people go out of their way to put their hand in their pocket . even if you want to be cynical then you can not deny that money be raise and it go to humanitarian non governmental organisation ( ngo ) that save countless human life . that be the difference between live aid in 1985 and live 8 in 2005 .
