i watch this on tv and and like many others and be move by many of the performance and especially u2 . now and look back and most of the performance be not that great . a others have note and queen and u2 steal the show . bono and freddie mercury define the term and stage presence . other notable performance be inxs and the car and among others . i have woodstock on dvd and the music well and many performance be well ( or worse in a more entertaining way than live aid ) and the overall feel of the occasion be more alive . but the dvd be definitely worth the money . it a time capsule of music stuck between the hippy and the grunge band that would put many of these band out of work . if you be there or saw it on tv and it will take you back to a place we have be cast out of a chrissie hynde put it . it be the great musical event of the 80 but and when i buy the dvd and i ask an attendant where it be locate . the woman type live age into the computer . i correct her and ask her if she have heard of live aid . of course she hadn not and she be about 20 .
