Live Aid -  Live 8

Live Aid - What was it all about?
On July 13, 1985, an unforgettable global event called Live Aid was held simultaneously in Australia, the United Kingdom and in the United States. This 16 hour event was the first of it's kind. Live Aid linked via satellite for the first time, three fantastic concerts, and multiple continents. The event was designed to raise money and awareness for the famine in Ethiopia.

 This site is dedicated to that event and the 1.5 billion people across the globe that watched it.
In the words of Bob Geldof:

"Please remember this day all of your lives. It's important. Remember the day you wanted to help"


Now you can own a piece of musical history. Now available Live 8 DVD sets and the original Live Aid DVD set.
