UAWIL #241: Live Aid at 40 Part 2 - The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Welcome to Part 2 of our deep dive into Live Aid as it turns 40. In Part 1 we spoke about the creation and buildup to the event on July 13, 2025 at Wembley Stadium in London and JFK in Philly. It was billed as a legendary fundraiser to support starving people in Africa organized by Bob Geldof which attracted some of the greatest artists of several generations.
On our second installment, we break down the live acts throughout the day in the US and during the prime afternoon and evening times in the UK. While some stand out fo incredible performances (The Wolf was partial to Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders among them), some top of the charts performers hit some bad notes (yes, we're going there). And of course, we discuss the infamous Led Zeppelin reunion and interview with Alan Hunter.
Part 3 will be released July 13, 2025 to coincide with the 40th anniversary of Live Aid. We are excited about 2 interviews with people who were at the stage in Philadelphia that day, including one of the original MTV VJs. HINT: It's not JJ Jackson :(
