Live Aid co-founders Sir Bob Geldof and Midge Ure have reflected on the initial concert, which took place in 1985, that has inspired Just For One Day: The Live Aid Musical

He was driving up from Sussex, listening to U2 on the radio, and they were so good, he was getting really nervous,” remembers Geldof

To mark the Live Aid anniversary, the BBC and CNN have co-produced a documentary series, “Live Aid: When Rock ’n’ Roll Took On the World.” It also covers Band Aid and Live 8, concerts that Geldof organized in 2005 that helped pressure the world’s richest countries to cut the debt owed by the poorest countries and increase aid spending.
